And it’s no exaggeration to say some quotes are depressing. And that’s exactly why it helps you relate, feel the emotion, and develop an appreciation for certain animes.
These are the saddest anime quotes you’ve ever seen. They may make you cry.
#1 – Photo Quotes (Kino’s Journey)
“I’ll never resent you, or hate you, or hurt you. Not ever. You and no one else. I’d rather die. So If I’m killed, I’ll face my killer with a smile. And I’ll tell them that it’s okay, because it won’t be their fault for doing it. It’ll just be that they don’t know any better. I’ll die hopeful, that my death might have helped them… to understand someday.” – Photo
Photo (as she’s later named) is a slave from Kino’s Journey – The Animated Series.
It is amazing to see her determination to be a free woman despite being a slave in this episode. These are powerful and inspiring words, despite being sad.
#2 – Kyoko Sakura Quotes(Madoka Magica).
“The thing I wished for destroyed my whole family. I brought all this suffering down on my family because I made a wish for my dad without knowing what he really wanted.” – Kyoko Sakura
In Madoka Magica, Kyoko’s wish literally destroys her entire family. And she’s left alone to fend for herself.
It is because she has a strong personality and a tough demeanor.
#3 – Barragan Louisenbairn Quotes(Bleach).
“”Humans die. Animals die. Plants die. Even soul reapers die. It’s the arch of the universe. Everything that comes to life eventually ceases to exist.” – Baraggan Louisenbairn
This is the reality every person has to deal with at one time or another.
As sad as it is, especially within those last moments, it’s a fact that feels better once you accept it.
#4 – Crona Quotes(Soul Eater).
“I bet dead people are easier to get along with.” – Crona
Crona’s upbringing was a living hell, thanks to the witch who created her.
She’s been denied love and affection, and so it’s no wonder she see’s the world this way.
#5 – Koko Hekmatyar Quotes (Jormungand)
“Remember what you said before? Normal people with guns will end up doing things he never imagined. Violence is a universal problem. Guns are literally at everyone’s fingertips. Sadly that’s where we put our faith, in bullets rather than human kindness.”- Koko Hekmatyar
Isn’t it sad when you think about it? We have more faith in guns and war than we do in kindness or education.
#6 – Jellal Fernandes Quotes(Fairy Tail).
“The loneliest people are the kindest. The brightest smiles are made by the saddest of people. The wisest people are those who have suffered the most. All because they don’t wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did.” – Jellal Fernandes
Jellal is the perfect definition of “sadness”. His quotes are based on his own life experiences.
#7 – Hatori Shikishima Quotes (Alice & Zouroku)
“Are you listening god? The thing is, mom and dad don’t like each other anymore. And it’s my fault for being such a useless daughter.” – Hatori Shikishima
You can feel the pain in Hatori’s voice in this scene. And it’s so genuine that it’s hard not to take it in.
#8 – Rentaro Satomi Quotes(Black Bullet)
“The scariest thing about killing people is getting used to it! When you kill someone and realize you won’t be punished… That’s when people forget all about punishment.” – Rentaro Satomi
There’s a dark element of truth to this when it comes to police shootings, and even the military.
Sometimes power can lead to immoral and dangerous situations. And what’s worse is when they get away with it.
#9 – Kazuto Kirigigaya Quotes(Sword Art Online).
“All this time, I seriously thought that it’s better to die than to live your life alone.” – Kirito
Death is a wasteful option if you’re alive, healthy, mobile and capable.
#10 – Revy Beck Quotes(Black Lagoon).
“Rock, if you think about it, other than this, what do we really value in life? God? What is love? Don’t make me laugh. As a young brat crawling in the shithole city as a brat, I thought God and Love were sold out every time I looked. Before I knew better, I clung to God and prayed to Him every single night — yeah, I believed in God right up until that night the cops beat the hell out of me for no reason at all. I was just another ghetto rat to them when they looked at my face. With no power and no God, what’s left for a poor little Chinese bitch to rely on? It’s money, of course, and guns.” – Revy Rebecca
This quote from Black Lagoon is so gut-wrenching, depressing and F’d up. Yet, it portrays a realistic picture of some truths we often overlook about life.
And when you’ve had a disgusting upbringing for no fault of your own, this type of thinking is understandable.
#11 – Kiritsugu Emiya Quotes (Fate Zero)
“They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory.” – Kiritsugu Emiya
#12 – Mei Aihara (Citrus)
“The two of us aren’t so different. My whole life I’ve desired from others. I was bitter to those around me, and I shut my heart. And a heart that lets nothing in, will become empty before you realize it.” – Mei Aihara
The worst way to live is in emptiness. It’s like you’re the living dead, and life loses all its meaning.
#13 – Sunako Kirishiki (Shiki)
“I think death is equally terrible for everyone. Young people, old people, the good, the bad; it’s always the same. It’s rather fair in its treatment. There’s no such thing as a particularly terrible death, that’s why it’s frightening.” – Sunako
#14 – Vegeta Quotes(Dragon Ball Z
(*15*)
“Kakarot… please… destroy Frieza… He made me what I am. Don’t…let him… do it… to anyone else. whatever it takes… Stop him… Please.” – Vegeta
Vegeta is my favorite moment in DBZ and any anime.
It’s hard seeing a guy who has a tough exterior, cry in fear of his own death. He wept like an infant in his last moments with Goku.
One of the saddest and best anime scenes.
#15 – Mio Nishizono Quotes (Little Busters)

Mio Nishizono’s a lonely girl who everyone ignores, as if she doesn’t exist. Her message is relatable to me.
