Anime can be funny, scary, romantic, or absolutely heart wrenching. Every series has their own special way of pulling in the viewer. So with that said, here are the top 3 anime that broke my heart.

3) Akame Ga Kill

In this heart wrenching series, a group of killers go on quests for riches and power. Throughout the series you learn about their strengths, weaknesses, and inner demons. Throughout the anime there is loss of life, and I mean a massive amount of life.

2)Assassination Classroom

In this show a middle school class of outcasts is taken over by a genetically modified assassin. In an effort to honor his friend’s last wish, the assassin takes over the class as their new teacher and dedicates his life to teaching them. Yet, the catch here is that the class must assassinate him before their sensei destroys the Earth. After a year of attempted murder and class bonding, they finally are able to stop Korosensei, of course after becoming a small family over the past year. So, basically, they are not only killing their target, but they are killing their mentor and friend who helped them realize their true strength as individuals and a group. (Yes, the ending made me cry.)

1) Sword Art Online

Finally, the one anime that I refuse to watch again (or the second season for that matter) because it truly devastated me. This series went from innocent fun to a fight for the right to live. Friends and foes come together to try to break out of alternate reality video game that the creator has trapped them in. From months on end, they need to defeat different levels or rooms of the game. Once they pass through all the levels, the players will be released back into their true reality. But, here’s the catch, is they die in the game, they die in real life. At the end of the first series, after thousands of lives are lost, they are able to clear the game. Yet, love is lost.

So, here’s the break down. The movie based on Tsugumi Ohba’s manga will be set in Seattle, Washington instead of Japan. This is a major red flag for some fans because it seems that the setting of the movie has effected the casting choices as well. Many people believe that the movie should stay true to the anime and manga, meaning that it should be set in Japan and the cast should be Japanese. Yet the role of Light will be played by Nat Wolff, Ryuk will be played by Willem Dafoe, and L will be portrayed by Keith Stanfield, all American actors.

Personally, I don’t mind, as long as the acting is decent. But, it’s the first Hollywood adapted live action film for this anime with a mainstream release, so die hard fans should at least get a proper nod to the OG.  Especially with the bevy of talented Japanese actors in Hollywood that would be PERECT for this film. On the other hand, there is already a Death Note film series that began in 2008 that does have Japanese actors. Sooooo, there’s that. But to each their own.

If you haven’t seen the trailer, check it out here. Death Note is set to be released on August 25, 2017 on Netflix.
