I didn't think Lights death should've really happened, Mikami was rated in the Death Note book as being smarter than Mello thus!MaxTheReaper said:
Smartest people
1. Light
2. L
3.Near
4. Mikami(Was also labed as being one of the most emotionally strongest)
5.Mello
So by that definition Mikami wouldn't have commited suicide in the anime.
Also Mikami would've been smart to keep an extra note hidden away, not much, like a page...it is truly unfitting of his character.
Fuck yes the entire ending was consisting of, BAM, GASP, BAME, Gasp.... BAM saw that coming... Booo... Bam, Oh GO WHALBERG!LilGherkin said:
Three pages and no Braveheart? That was the only time I have ever cried at a movie. And I've seen some serious tear-jerkers.
Probably one of the most depressing I've ever seen.
Neon Genesis Evangelion - Rei Ayanami's "death"; more so the fact that she died rather than how (even though it is kind of disturbing). She was the one character I thought deserved a happy ending, and the only one who didn't get one. Asuka's "death" was also disturbing, but I really didn't like her.
1: Mass Effect
2: Bioshock
3: CoD4
The death of either Kaiden or Ashley shook me to my core. It wasn't just because of the fact that you leave them to die alone with enemies all around and next to a nuke about to wipe them off the face of the planet, it was the fact that you have to choose which one would die. The fact that the game had tons of choices before this didn't help matters because for a while I had the feeling that I could've done something different before to avert the disaster. This feeling passed, but I still get emotional when I replay that scene.
2: Bioshock
The death of Andrew Ryan. It finally becomes clear to you that you've had no control over anything you've done, that your entire life was nothing but a sham to drive you forward to this one event. That'll mess with your head any day, but it worked magnificently well in Bioshock because unlike movies or books (passive entertainment where you just observe events) it's a game, where more than any other medium the participant is in control of the outcome.
3: CoD4
The ending goes without saying, but the other notable death I'd like to point out is when the person you've played as for most of the first act dies- while you're still playing him. You're forced to crawl and limp your way out of the wreckage of your helicopter into the desolation of a nuclear holocaust. It demonstrated the despair of modern combat, and left a bad taste in your mouth from your enjoyment of what had come before.
My top two movies death scenes are as follows:
The opening scene to Ghost Ship just because it was executed so well, it's kinda beautiful to me in a wired way.
The one movie death that almost got me to cry, quite a feat, was the ending to the Devil's Rejects, just because I loved the whole movie(s), I'm a huge Otis/Capt. Spaulding/Baby and how well Rob Zombie shot that scene. Honestly I'm getting a tattoo of Otis and Baby.
Um books:
Pretty much every death scene in 'Things They Carried'
The Grandfather in 'Everything Is Illuminated'
Now I feel very alone in being the only one who liked these that much.

My favourite deaths of all time:
Rorschach's death at the end of Watchmen. I was watching the film, and couldn't resist the urge to yell 'DO IT ******' at that point. Awesome.
Also, the death of V. The trainload of lilies and gelignite was incredibly fitting.
I'm on a massive Alan Moore kick right now, I know.

Kinda obscure, but here goes:
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.
Frank is walking along the beach with his little brother when they find a half buried unexploded bomb from WW2; its point pokes upwards out of the sand. Frank tells his brother that it is actually the bell from the old abandoned church that has washed up. He hands him a stick and tells him to ring the bell.
"But wait!" Frank says, and runs over to the other side of a sand dune, pops his head over the top and shouts, "Okay! Now!"

Tom cruise in interview with the vampire! despite the face he didnt die you think hes dead and its greatcrimsonyte said:
Yeah the whole ending was brilliant, especially when Hurin and Morwen sit on the grave until she dies. But the whole Beleg thing was probably the saddest.Gormourn said:
When Lucy died at the end of the elfen lied manga (it made me cry) she freaking melts to death (seriouly)
