In the mid-2000s, few shonen series were as popular as the Big Three, a term created by the Western anime community to refer to One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. Extremely beloved worldwide, these three franchises ran alongside one another in Shonen Jump from 2001 to 2014, amassing a substantial shared fanbase and even becoming an entire generation’s introduction to anime. However, with the conclusion of Naruto in 2014 and Bleach in 2016, a void was left on the pages of Shonen Jump, urging the fans to search for new series to take the Big Three’s place.
In the following years, a new lineup of top-rated shonen series did, indeed, emerge, even if none of them ended up becoming the universally acknowledged New Big Three. Yet, this new generation of shonen hits is now also swiftly concluding. Just in the last few years, such massive series as Demon Slayer, Hell’s Paradise, Dr. Stone,...

Sad anime series tell some of the stories that stick with fans the longest, as few emotions are felt as intensely as sadness. It is easy to laugh at a brief joke or feel joy over a character's achievements and victories, but such feelings are often short-lived. On the other hand, bringing viewers to tears requires a genuine connection to be formed, as the characters need to feel real and relatable.
There are plenty of series that make their viewers cry on occasion. Especially when it comes to longer-running ones, certain moments are bound to be especially sad, such as One Piece's Going Merry's tragic ending. However, few shows go out of their way to attempt to build up a real connection with viewers, focusing on their emotions above all and leading to some of the greatest sad anime series.

The Elusive Samurai season 1 was a visually spectacular production, thanks partly to CloverWorks' stellar animation and Yusei Matsui's zany vision, laden with cartoonish humor, magical realism, and surprisingly brutal violence.
