Hey guys,


Well I am doing a monologue involving a man losing his soulmate, so I am looking for some inspiration to get me into the mood...or understand the character better.

I was using some anime music that was really helping out....but I overused it and now it has run stale...(FMA Kyoudai FTW!)


So need some new material.


I was thinking Titanic...but that movie is soooo long and I saw a few times already...not sure if it will have the same impact.

Thanks for your help fellows...or women..

Listen to Azure Ray.

 

[bjork]

you need old blues music about "my woman left me"

or the smiths

 

[Ninja Scooter]

sad romance...anime?

 

[Lelielle]

Hmm..

Well Full moon wo Sagashite is a girls anime but it has some seriously sad moments (plus the story is kinda trgic to begin with). Honey and Clover has some pretty emotional scenes and is a great series. Victorian Romance Emma is a wonderful series (it gives you the feeling that you are watching a anime BBC show) though it is too short, i hope they animate the rest of the comic series. I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Voices of a Distant Star sounds like it would be perfect for you. It involves a boy losing his soul mate, but he's reminded all the way into manhood about her.

Sad Romance Animes

Or Sad Romance Movies (Titanic....don't know anymore)


Just sad things in general I guess!

Sweet! Is this an anime or a regular movie?

 

[bigmit3737]

Listen to Azure Ray.

I am assuming that's the artist?

Any particular songs?

 

[sangreal]

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (KGNE) it is sad, romantic and relatively short (14 episodes)

yes!

 

[Calidor]

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (The eternity you wished for) is the right answer

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

How about watching any number of Japanese or Korean movies where some dude or some broad gets cancer just as they fall in love

 

[GilloD]

Listen to Okkervil River

Or the new Mountain Goats record, Get Lonely.

What do I do...what do I do...what do I do...? What do I do...without you?

That damn song had me feeling like crap. Beautiful crap, but still crap.

 

[Zapages]

Farewell to Tears <-Korean Drama.

 

[Jacobi]

Try Dragonball Z. It's pretty sad.

Spoiler

Son Goku dies and lets his wife and child behind.

 

[ghst]

Naruto episode 19.

Snow will never be the same.

That series is waaaaaay too long. I used watch is when I was younger.




Thanks for the suggestions guys.


As for non-anime stuff, Someone recommended the movie "The Notebook"....Should I look into that one?

:lol

I swear after seein my roommate watch some of those korean dramas, most of those series go by the same plot. Oh yeah and you also get a crying scene probably every 15 or 20 minutes or so.


EDIT: Why not try listening to some sad music instead?

 

[Silverbolt]

The original Kenshin OAVs are good (Samurai X in American I believe). Steer clear from the anime though, utter trash.

 

[Rahxephon91]

SaiKano

Isn't that supposed to be sad.

 

[Luna104]

Meet Joe Black

 

[bigmit3737]

Naruto episode 19.

Snow will never be the same.

Oh yeah that Zabuza Arc (Spelling)

 

[monchi-kun]

Watch Samurai X - Trust/Betrayal/Reflection (3 DVDs)

my god...so freakin' sad (and great animation to boot)

 

[bigmit3737]

Listen to Okkervil River

Any particular songs?

 

[bigmit3737]

If you guys have any sad Music suggestions...that would be great as well...

Words are too distracting so I prefer music.

 

[xaosslug]

Sad Love Song, Love Letter, Stairway to Heaven, they're Korean dramas. Warning!: links may contain sopilers!

[bigmit3737]

yes!

Just saw it..but it didn't really affect me much...

I felt like it was too short and too much cramped in....I didn't feel attached to the characters.
