Yes, this is about those characters whose stories ALMOST make us cry when we watch them.
For me, my most tragic anime character would have to be Hiroko Asahina from RahXephon. The girl's sweet, cute, funny and pretty lovable. She already has a boyfriend but she's been crushing on the character Ayato for years now. What happened to her was just...well TRAGIC. She didn't deserve what happened to her at all.
For my game character, BoF 2's Mina, Nina's little sister. The whole fiasco got to me like nothing else in any game did. You don't expect little sisters to give up themselves for your and your friends' sake.
Anyone else have similar feelings about other characters? Any anime, and any game welcome. Warning - if spoilers are eminent, post smart and don't give out too much. ^^ b
