Hey /a/

I'm looking for a sad/bittersweet, good, short (26 episodes or less) anime that isn't Haibane Renmei or Kanon, because I've already got those on my to-watch list.

Any recommendations? Pic related.

Saikano, Clannad (Another KEY -> KyoAni adaptation, so NOM NOM NOM), Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora.

Ohoho I've heard a lot about that one.

Okay, so right now, I'm watching Clannad, then I'll watch AIR, and then those other two the first anon mentioned.

Full Moon Wo Sagashite if you just stick with the second (non-shit) season.

Princess Tutu is a bit of a mixed bag in the beginning, but if you stick around with it you won't be disappointed.

5 centimeters per second is a good choice if you're looking for movies.

And I've heard alot of good things about Kino's journey.

Clannad isn't sad. It's just weak. Even though it had huge amounts of potential.

None good, just forced sobfests.

Try Shinigami no Ballad (nothing special, but at least decent), Honey and Clover (first season is 26 episodes), Fruits Basket (if you haven't already seen it). Also second>>456267's suggestions.

Fruits Basket is overhyped and full of suck. =/ It takes too long to get anywhere, and the characters aren't very interesting to me.

Since you already have Haibane on the list, and that's my favorite..

Try Rozen Maiden?

This one.
13 episodes. It's an amazing series.
Also, second season will be coming out some time.

Also, this is /c/, dammit. Not /a/.
We're like /a/'s sweet little sister. We're not as crude or mean, and if you're worthwhile we'll actually put out.
Now get it right, dammit.

I'm kinda iffy on this one, just because of the personalities of most of the girls. Triela's a popular favorite because she's not going to whore herself like the rest of the cast; in after Yuki.
>>456267
I will second Kino and 5cm. Thanks for reminding me. However, be aware, that as this is Makoto Shinkai behind 5cm, the next episode's going to be out in the next... 3 or 4 months. Kino's not that sad, but it is bittersweet. Sorta thing that makes me wanna smoke after each episode.

Seconding Shinigami no Ballad. Gah, this is what I get for doing too much loli-moe; I forget the classics...
>>458308
I didn't get the vibe from Rozen Maiden; kinda felt more like Escaflowne: not the type to stab your heart, but you'll feel the ending nonetheless. Although, there are a lot of bleeding hearts for Sugintou.

I liked the I"s manga, never saw Pure.

Although, a decent number of anonymous have noted that they have cried during this visual novel.
Attached is Planetarian. There exists an English translation somewhere on this interbutt.

I'd definitely recommend Kino's Journey. It's show that briefly touches on the darker side of humans in a subdued manner. I was almost turned off by the art style, but I'm glad I stayed with the series.

I am one of those anons. It is short, it took me around 5 hours to read the whole thing, but it was incredible. The artwork is great and the music is wonderful. I cried so hard at the end.

I believe this is the visual novel + english patch:

eh?
If anything, Triela would be the most likely to be a slut(not to mention she was far from one of my favorite girls).
Henrietta's fucking teh cuet, Rico's almost as cuet, but Jean's abusive, Angelica experiences too much of a side effect from the conditioning due to being the first attempt, and suffers memory loss, Claes no longer has a handler and is just a test subject for prosthetics and Elsa... I won't get into her.
Triela is a "crowd favorite" because she's old enough to have a period, so all the pedo's are after her.
Seriously. It's a series about little girls and how they're "saved" from life worse than death by the Social Welfare Agency(SISDE), and turned into cyborg assassins.
You'd need to be a true fucking pedo to get much "sick" out of it.

Also, yes, Yuki's a slut. But that's not the topic at hand.

Saishuu Heiki Kanojo (SaiKano)... it's really bittersweet
>> A recommendation Kerrian
Try Battle Angel, it's only around 3 episodes, and has a very sad/bittersweet end to it.
