1. Meiko Menma - Anohana
Anohana is widely regarded as one of the most tear-jerking anime ever! Menma passed away five years ago but couldn't move on, which led her former friends to come together and fulfill her final wish. Through this, Menma helped them reconnect and become closer than ever. They learned to open up, no longer keeping their feelings bottled up inside. In the end, these friends could share their joys, sorrows, and anger with one another. When Menma faded away, I couldn't help but feel for her. This little girl is truly 'pitiful,' yet she inspires admiration. Anohana is a delicate, emotional anime that has touched many hearts and brought countless tears to viewers.

2. Nanami Aoyama - Sakurasou
It's unclear whether Nanami is the third wheel or if the newcomer in Sakurasou's dormitory takes that role, but somehow, Nanami ends up as the 'pitiful' third party. Especially when she had planned to confess her feelings to the male lead after a successful audition, but when that audition fails, Nanami lacks the courage to express her love.
She isolates herself, feeling like an outcast. It's truly sad. Why does fate seem so harsh? Nanami, a kind-hearted girl, grew up with the male lead as childhood friends, yet they never have a 'happy ending.' It's a bit heartbreaking for her. Perhaps they're just not meant to be together. I can't help but feel sympathy for Nanami.

8. Kaori Miyazono - Your Lie in April
"Your Lie in April" is a heartbreaking anime that has moved many viewers to tears since its release. The film's vivid and authentic portrayal of life touches the heart, especially in the scenes filled with the soft glow of fireflies by the river. Kaori’s death, when she learns that her time is running out, only intensifies the sorrow. She takes up the violin, hoping one day to have the talented Kousei accompany her. Kaori waits eagerly for that moment, even though she knows she won’t live to see it.
While Kaori may not have been a professional violinist, she poured her soul and creativity into every note, transforming her music into something extraordinary. The lie she told about liking Kousei’s best friend only adds depth to the story, making it even more emotionally powerful. Kaori passed away with her dreams unfulfilled, yet she was able to smile, knowing she lived fully. Watching her fate unfold, I cried for the girl who seemed so unfairly burdened by life’s cruelty. But in the end, I smiled, knowing that Kaori’s greatest wish was fulfilled. The music that Kaori and Kousei created together will forever resonate in the hearts of the viewers.

9. Sachi - Sword Art Online
Sachi is one of the most tragic characters in the anime Sword Art Online. Although she only appears in a few episodes, she leaves a lasting impression on the audience. Some believe that if Sachi hadn't died, perhaps Kirito might not have ended up with Asuna. What if that's true? While hunting monsters with her guild, Sachi and all the members fall into a trap set by the monsters, and only one member survives. Sachi is a fragile, gentle, and kind-hearted girl.
In the message she left for Kirito, Sachi confesses that she knew Kirito was on a different level compared to the rest of the guild. Her final words to him were a heartfelt 'thank you and farewell.' It’s not unreasonable to say that Sachi is one of the most unfortunate characters – a shy, good-hearted girl thrust into a dangerous world. Her untimely death in the virtual world marks a tragic and heart-wrenching end to her journey.

10. Nagisa Furukawa - Clannad
Nagisa Furukawa from Clannad is another tragically poignant character. Unlike most people, Nagisa's health was always fragile, and she was often ill. When she gave birth to her daughter with Tomoya, it was also the moment she had to say goodbye to this world.
While some may argue that Tomoya is the one who suffers more, having to raise their child alone, I believe Nagisa’s fate is far more heartbreaking. What could be more sorrowful than a mother who, after giving birth, can't stay by her child’s side to watch them grow, leaving Tomoya to face the world alone? It is Nagisa who is the truly unfortunate one. This deep sorrow is exactly why the anime has moved so many viewers to tears.
