Duke Togo Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Gunbuster... ya, I know its a robot, but the goodbye is just as touching! Quote
treatment Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Too many to list, but I found Tomoe's death in Betrayal (kenshin ova) to be so unforgettable. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 1. Guld's death in Macross Plus: The Movie. Wow. Taking himself and the YF-21 to the limit (and beyond) and sacrificing his life to take out the X-9 Ghost. 2. see picture Quote
Father Jack Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Wolfwood's death in Trigun. Chloe's death in Noir Haku and Zabuza's death in Naruto Roy's Death in Macross Any number of my other favorite characters from any number of series or movies, my favorite characters always seem to die for some reason. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 the death of that slimy boar thing in Princess Mononoke.....just cause it looked cool. Quote
Batou Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Spike Speigel at the end of Cowboy Bebop. Julia's in that same episode as well - the way she just dropped like a sack of potatos ... and the look on Spike's face as he saw it happen. Kaworu at the hands of Shinji in Evangelion. Asuku too, in "End of Evangelion" (she did die there, right? as eva 2 was ripped to shreds by those white evas? I was never entirely clear on that). Someone already mentioned Roy Focker in the TV series - lots of sentimental value in that one. Quote
Myriad Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 When that Inbit Gosu Solugi dies in the Mospeada episode "Black Hair's Partita." Gets all torn up by Rey's Tread, crashes then falls out of his Gosu bleeding that green Inbit goo. Die Inbit! Die! Quote
NERV Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 EVA-02's death in EOE Band of the Hawk's death in Berserk Tomoe's death in Kenshin OVA Mahoro's death in Mahoromatic Spike's death in Bebop Crazy Guy's death in Bebop Movie Ouburi's death in Kite Many of the deaths in Vampire Princess Miyu The Stone Guy and The Boss Guy's death in Ninja Scroll Guld's death in Macross Plus Legato's death in Trigun Zombie Army's death in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust All the deaths in Pet Shop of Horrors Worst death ever: Gay Daigoji's (SP?) death in Nadesico Quote
NERV Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 forgot 1: Shep's death in Interstella 5555 Quote
Sarensaas Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Just in case....SPOILER to those living under a rock... Although it doesn't really count, I have to say Optimus Prime in TF:TM. Also Guld getting together with Sharon Apple at the end of M+; I'm not sure if I like the OVA version or movie version better. The OVA version seems a bit more dignified. Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 1. Guld's death in Macross Plus: The Movie. Wow. Taking himself and the YF-21 to the limit (and beyond) and sacrificing his life to take out the X-9 Ghost. Easily one of the most disturbing and intense. Good pick. Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I would have to vote for Optimus Prime when Megatron blasted him 3 times to an open laceration on his abdomen. Of course, he didn't die instantly like Guld in Mac+, but...hey. The other would be Majin Vegitta against Fat Buu when he blew himself up ala Three Mile Island/Chernobyl taking Buu with him(Buu regenerated though). King Starscream getting vaporized by Galvatron in TFTM. Dinobot's death in episode "Code of Hero" Beast Wars Ravage's death screaming "Decepticons Forever!!!!!" Besat Wars episode "The Agenda" Roy Focker's death scene in DYRL with the Valk exploding Unicron exploding in TFTM Kagero's death in the hands of Jubei Kibagami - Ninja Scrolls Quote
Dragon Lord Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I've forgotten about Berserk. The whole gang getting slaughtered like that has got to be most memorable for me. And definitely Tomoe's in the Kenshin OVA. Guld's death in the movie version was far better (and more appropriate) than the OVA. Joe P. Quote
Dragon Lord Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Oh, and I don't know how many of you are familiar with Voltes V, but this is one of my all time favourite, the death of Heinel at the end. Joe P. Quote
zeus the zentran Posted February 1, 2004 Author Posted February 1, 2004 I remember seeing the Transformers the movie in a movie theater in 1986 in South Philly and a lot of guys were laughing and saying"ya frakkin'pussy!hah!hah!"when Prime died. I laughed too.I gotta admit.Optimus Prime is a pompus ass.And one thing if the Autobots bitch about the Dinobots being clumsy and stupid why did they program them that way.duh!Tell you the truth Grimlock is da man!He's not stupid to me. He's just not some damn pushover.I bet he would've wasted Megatron if he had the chance. Quote
zylos1015 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Ive got to add Mwu' Fraga death scene in Gundam Seed 49, that just blew me away. (no pun intended) Quote
Nightbat Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 One I find very good is Gai's death in Nadesico No blaze of glory, no last witty comment There he is, minding his own business, then *pop*,...it's over for no real reason he gets a bullit, now there was something to stop and think Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 One I find very good is Gai's death in NadesicoNo blaze of glory, no last witty comment There he is, minding his own business, then *pop*,...it's over for no real reason he gets a bullit, now there was something to stop and think And no one but the stupid fry cook seemed to care.. Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Gotta go with Emerson's death in Southern Cross. All I have to say is: IT WAS ABOUT TIME. God...thought he would never shut up. Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Oh, and I don't know how many of you are familiar with Voltes V, but this is one of my all time favourite, the death of Heinel at the end. Joe P. That was so long ago, I don't remember that scene Quote
Agent ONE Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 1. The Robert Dawson assasination in Golgo13 The Professional 2. Roy Focker in DYRL 3. Guld in the Macross Plus Movie 4. Queen Bee, in Golgo13 Queen Bee 5. When Snake tears the spine out of a CIA agent with a meat hook in Golgo13 The Professional 6. That guy in DYRL that is running through the Macross and gets his head cut off by one of the moving doors. Quote
KingNor Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 in Knight Rider, when the bad guys dipped KIT in that acid. oh man, i almost cried. KIT... KIT's DEAD!? NOOOOooooooo Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 in Knight Rider, when the bad guys dipped KIT in that acid. oh man, i almost cried. KIT... KIT's DEAD!? NOOOOooooooo While we're on the subject of Knight Rider I remember there was an episode where KITT was destroyed (or......really F'ed up badly). I don't know if that's considered a death sequence, but that ARMORED/ASSAULT truck was really trashing KITT. Anyone remember that episode? Quote
Beware of Blast Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Not really anime but I think it fits. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Guld's death in Macross Plus the movie. One of the best ever. Ditto Dinobot in Beast Wars. Nothing like throwing yourself against unbeatable odds to save another's life. See Guld above. Guyver 1 in the Guyver series against Enzyme. That was a good death scene. Guyver 2 death scene as well. Most entertaning. EDIT: Forgot the death scene in Detonator Orgun. That was a good death. Edited February 1, 2004 by CoryHolmes Quote
Dragon Lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Oh, and I don't know how many of you are familiar with Voltes V, but this is one of my all time favourite, the death of Heinel at the end. Joe P. That was so long ago, I don't remember that scene Yes that was a while back, in fact, this was the very first anime series I ever saw, and the one that has stuck (in the head) the most! The death was at the very end of the very last episode. Joe P. Quote
MSW Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Lots of cool one listed so far...but I gotta go with the one that effected me the most, so much so that I can't watch the film but every 5 years or so (else I cry like a baby )...course this film is Grave of the Fireflies. Quote
Dragon Lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Yeah, forgot about that one. Joe P. Quote
Agent ONE Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Not really anime but I think it fits. LOL. I love that scene. Quote
Keith Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Everyone's already listed most of the good ones... Some other favorite's include: Spoilers in white text: -Orguss Momu, Kei, & Orsen all in the final episode, damn that ending rocked. -The death of the Andromeda & its captain in Yamato series II -Victory Gundam: The early members of the Strike team (it's been a few months since I've seen it), but the one that sticks out most in my mind is the funeral where all members put make-up on their comrads corpse -Victor Gundam: When Uso's mother died, the tire ripping her head off.... -Zeta: Scirocco getting revenge on Kamille with his dying Newtype breath -Giant Robo:Ginrei being killed by her own brother, just for him to find out that their father was never out for revenge to begin with Bah, I could go on, it's someone else's turn. Edited February 2, 2004 by Keith Quote
F360° Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Did anyone saw Fushigi yugi? the Death sequences of Tamahome's family was just too sad , there's not one death sequences more sadder than that one. Quote
Sebastian Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I have bad memory so I dont remember the names, but I found the dead of the main character Girlfriend in Rahxephon really shoking. Like it a lot. Guld dead Spike dead (Cowboy Bebop). The dead of the every single friend of Gatsu in the end of Berserk. And I have bad memory so I dont remember any other cool deads. Ho yes in X the movie, the bad guy got his head chopped in a sec. that was cool, I love to see the gay clamp characters dead. Quote
JKeats Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Geez, Spike's death will always, always affect me. Of course Guld, in the movie. Misato in EOE. Good god, why??? Quote
