@@Rose-bm2hc Eiji really does have this power to comfort people. Besides Griffin, Eiji was the closest Ash had ever been to anyone. (Even Shorter didn't have the same sort of connection that they had, although he was an incredible friend.) Only Eiji could calm Ash. What hurts me the most though is how Ash had to suffer his death alone & Eiji didn't know at the time, getting farther & farther away, headed to Japan without Ash, believing he would see him again to provide yet more support, comfort & happiness to his life. Ash was probably thinking this as well when he looked up in that scene in the library. He knew it was over & he would never be able to experience Eiji's love & care ever again. His hopes of improving his life were taken away permanently. Words alone can't fully grasp the despair of the moment, but when the situation is left to sink in... It hurts. I know he died peacefully with Eiji's words resonating in his heart, but the circumstances under which he died still haunt me. His fate was tragic & unfair. Sorry about the rant. Apologies if I've prolonged anyone's sadness.
“Sa-yo-na-ra, America Sa-yo-na-ra, New York but im not going to say Sa-ya-na-ra to you Ash I know we’ll meet again no matter how far apart we are your the greatest friend I’ll ever have” broke me
Jaquelin Zepeda they will meet again in heaven... I’m not even religious but I’ll still believe that ash is forever watching eiji live his life to the fullest 😭😭😭
• Anime Friends • true, I read the manga bit, and well it says that ash is greedy... he has eiji forever because eiji will never love again and he won’t be truly happy. It’s greedy, but their bond is still always there. They’ll be friends forever, even when death does them part. *sobs silently*
Season 2 should be: Eiji coming back bc he promised to. Ash waking up from a coma hearing Eiji. Them reuniting. Airports being closed, so they sail to Japan. Ash meets Eiji’s fam and feels at home.
at first I did not cry when watching this .. but my heart broke after watching it .. and this is the second time I watch the ending .. I'm crying like you rn.. I didn't think that I would just realize how painful it was until I crying so muchhhhh😭 poor Ash.. :"(((
I wish i could go to New York too u make me jealous really u felt ash in his hometown.Buddy one day i will definitely visit even if its just for a day.
This comment is so sweet☺. I hope you enjoyed your time there. I live in New York city and I'll be looking out for Ash too! I believe he's still alive we just have to find him :)
Why do I keep coming back to this despite of knowing how much it hurts every time?! Now imagine meeting such person in real life and losing him/her oh my gosh😢
If i were eiji i would be so depressed knowing that ash died, that eiji didnt have a chance to talk to him, to embrace him, and to say that he still has a chance to be happy in life as long as they are together even for the last time. I cried so much last night. I just cant be that happy to know that ash died without eiji by his side. 💔
I personnally tottally loose my mind with "Freedom".😭 It gets me, and I fall again into the memories of Banana Fish, this masterpiece, my fave anime of all time. It burns my skin, I sing play-back, I jump, I dance. "Freedom" is just the best opening of anime ever.
In the end I wasn’t prepared for those last 10 minutes to be very honest. For a while I kept asking myself that why people were sad about this anime??? “Ohh must be the separation of these two boys, must be the cause” I thought. BAM!!!!!!! Then that happened!!! 💔 “We all let our guards down I guess!”
I was actually spoiled about Ash's death before I watched the show, and didn't think about watching it because I was spoiled. But my cousin pushed me to watch it even though she was spoiled as well. During the last ten minutes both of us were REALLY confused when we noticed that nothing was going wrong. We were like "why isn't Ash dead?? Isn't he supposed to die?? Were the spoilers wrong??" So it was then that both of us started becoming hopeful, until well...you know. We sobbed for a long time and my cousin was extremely distraught over it for like a month (she randomly cried in class several times HAHA). Anyways yeah, I feel extreme sympathy to the people who weren't spoiled. That must've sucked immensely.
I didn’t know Ash died, but people were very sad. So when i got to episode 24 i was like “it isn’t that bad?? I don’t get why ppl are so sad over this?? It looks like its gonna be a happy ending.” Mind you: i did not cry in the whole show not even when shorter died. And then boom Ash gets stabbed, i was bawling.
at first I didn’t cry at that scene but then I thought about it and I bursted into tears and realized eiji was never going to see ash ever again. he cared about ash so much it broke my heart to think that eiji was never able to say goodbye 🥺😭💔😖
I've seen the ending so many times and I cry every time I watch it 😭😭 This show deserves so much more recognition and appreciation, it's so beautiful in such a heartbreaking way ❤️❤️ I love Ash so much and it was so hard to watch that scene after he struggled and fought so hard♥️ Rant here it comes: Okay, but rant though, did anyone else have a hard time coming to terms with Ash's death at first?? It just made me so sad! The fact that he was running towards what I assume was to be the airport made Ash's answer to Eiji's letter very clear, and it honestly kinda tears me up inside that he didn't get to see Eiji again...!!! To think he fought so hard all his life and got killed by the stupidest guy... Freaking Lao...!!! It hit me really hard.... And the fact that Ash didn't even get to say goodbye to Eiji... With that being said, however, I felt a sort of peace with Ash's death after a while..?? The way he was killed wasn't at all peaceful... But he died in a place where he found peace, and would go to kinda have time to himself... To think... Have serenity in the dark reality he was stuck in... Not only that, I think at the end, Ash was able to find peace with himself and his soul. The fact that Eiji was now going back to Japan, and was going to be safe from the Mafia and violence in America meant a lot to Ash. With Eiji now in a safe place, I think that put Ash's mind somewhat at ease in his final moments. He cared for that boy so much, Eiji was his light and his saving grace. He could be himself around that boy. His soul was also set free from all the hardships he went through in life.... He could finally let things go, and be free.... He's with Shorter now.. ~Thinking about the peace Ash found really made me feel better about his death~ And Eiji was right, him and Ash will meet again eventually... Just not in person, but in the afterlife... 💕💕💕
X Claire X I just finished watching the last episode of bananafish just now and I could not stop crying 😭😭💔 this is now one of my favorite animes, I love it so much. You depicted everything I am feeling. Your comment is underrated in my opinion btw.
Same here I just got done from the last episode of Banana Fish, I can't stop crying I dunno if I'll sleep the night tho... But you said in ur comment is exactly what I feel... I dunno when I'll get over Ash's death... It breaks my heart into pieces knowing that Ash had really died bcuz of a stupid freaking character.... Like it's painful after all the hell he's been through and all the fights he fought, he died it's hard to process.... I liked the story of this anime, I liked the art work, I liked everything that had to do with that anime.... But it's full of tragedies and when finally well, kind of Ash had a peaceful life he got killed.... I can't get over death I can't....
You should read the next part of the anime on the Manga titled Garden of Light which shows what happened after the last episode of the anime and also a prequel manga about Ash and Shorter titled Angel Eyes.
yeah i agree, but the show foreshadowed that eiji would be the reason for ash’s demise. ash was extremely intelligent, viligant, and physically fit but his one weak spot was his heart. he loved eiji and everyone warned him that if he didn’t distance himself from eiji, he would let his guard down. that’s exactly what happened. when ash saw the plane ticket, he let his guard down and began to run, he wasn’t thinking about anything but his lover. he got stabbed. then, he could’ve gone to the hospital but instead he stayed in a library to finish the letter, where he fell asleep for the last time, bleeding to death. the reason he died was because of his “weak heart”. those last moments of his life, he was so vulnerable. he finally could fly.
i can't with the ending, it hurts so bad because i wanted them to be together so bad. And after everyone Ash has faced he his killed by someone so irrelevant. They deserved to be reunited, I just finished it and i'm an emotional mess. Please let them remake it to be happy so I can be at peace.
If you don’t want to read the manga, at least read the epilogue, and the side stories! Here they are, in reading order: - Ura Banana (a very short, and very funny gag comic that breaks the fourth wall). - Fly Boy in the Sky (how Ibe came to know Eiji during his pole vaulting career). - Private Opinion (how Blanca met and trained Ash - probably the darkest side story in the series...). - Angel Eyes (how Ash and Shorter met in juvie and became best friends). - That Summer/Cape Cod (a poignant and very short little interlude between Ash and Eiji that one summer they were together.) - Garden of Light (THE epilogue for the entire series - it’s also the one that has the most mixed opinion among fans!). - New York Sense (the final epilogue, see where Eiji, Sing, Max and others are five years after Garden of Light). Don’t forget that the original manga is set mainly in the 80s, from 1984 until 1986. The first epilogue takes place in 1994; the second, in 1999.

I watched by my self and in my mind was like: “Why would dat guys stab him while he was running...Poor Eiji he doesn’t know that happened..😭 I LITERALLY CRIED MY EYES OUT THIS IS MOSTLY THE TOP SADDEST ANIME😭😭😭
Ah so many tears, I just wanted Ash to be happy and I guess he was but without Eiji in his arms. I`ll you`ll need to watch something happier to try & recover from this. Such pure innocent emotions
@@valeriapierce6115 they didn't forget anything important just some small details that wouldn't have affected the story in any type of way. And I was actually pretty surprised when I saw myself on screen, did I do a great job pretending to be dead?
@@bells3331 man i just finished watching this series and I just can't do or watch anything without feeling sad anymore this is one of the saddest animes I've watched..
I always cry with the end of Banana Fish, no matter how many times I see it, it makes me sad. I was watching your reaction and when it was time for the end I cried so hard with you 💔
I haven’t cried or felt sadness this entire anime, but the ending of this episode just broke me I’ve been sobbing for the past 15 minutes straight and I can’t breathe
I just want to pretend that he was just sleeping, and when Eiji came back to NY, they lived happier lives together. But I still cry every time I watch the ending. This anime got to me. It’s the saddest anime I’ve watched.
Still cying over this after a long time 💖 banana fish always has a special place in my heart ❤️❤️💖 this anime really needs more recognition... The ending always gets me, i still havent recovered from this anime 🥺🤧🤧
I will re-watch this anime one day and bawl all over again. It won't be anytime soon, but it will happen. Maybe 5 years from now, maybe 10, maybe even more but I will. I promise you. Speaking of, I am itching to re-watch Wolf's Rain. I love that one so much too but I don't remember everything anymore is why it's good to wait a long while before I ever re-watch anything. I think it's been over 10 years since I've last seen it. x_x;
"My soul is always with you". That line hit me in the feels so damn hard. That was when my eyes started to well up...and then you know what happens next. :(
When I first watched the ending my body was so shaken I replayed the ending over a dozen times and I couldn’t stop my tears. This anime has conveyed emotion and the grave depravity of society and life like none other has. The tears you shed, the hatred you feel, and even the occasional laughs you have, all of it together have created such gorgeous moments and painful ones too. This is not just a show to me personally. It’s a series of played out cartoons that taught me life lessons that I will take with me forever. All Ash ever wanted was love, and all the people he got it from left him in the end. All except for Eiji. And in my heart people that are separated in life will be brought back together in heaven. And that has made all the difference.
I just finished this anime roughly 30mins ago as of typing this. A few years late but I've finally watched it nonetheless. Great anime with some minor flaws (to be expected, nothing is perfect). I bawled like a goddamn baby when I saw the ending. I re-watched it after I regained my composure and the tears started rolling down my face again. I can't recall feeling this emotional over a anime in a really long time.😭😭😭
I haven’t watched the anime, heard it’s good, I’ve heard one of the characters get you know (raped) Now I don’t want to, from what I’ve seen the pain is a bit too much
If you're not a fan of sad endings... It's your choice... But if you DO like sad andings you MUST watch it. Ever tho it's so tragic it teaches you so much (At least I became kinda more mature from the anime 😂)
you shouldn't be proudly saying you're a fujoshi- like we can all appreciate gay couples and stuff but fujoshi literally just means fetishizing gay couples :(
@@spacekid2608 first of all you shouldn’t bring ppl down k, it’s tough to openly say your a fujoshi because ppl only think you fetishize gay couples, no. Yes there are some fujoshies that go overboard but you shouldn’t think everyone is like that. Just saying....
😭😭😭 ash I thought you were dead in the end I was crying crazy for 1 hours . I don't know why i have already seen banana fish for 8 time but I cannot stop my feelings I cry always when I see the movie again again I cry and cry .. If there is season 2 I hope ash and elji stay happy , happy forever . 😢🤗🤗 Hugh for ash and elji 😊😊..
Love your reactions soo so much, and thank you for everything you said about Banana Fish and it’s characters at the end 💕🙏🏼😭 still makes me cry everytime, I cried again with you!!!
I have watched this anime about 3 times and I came here to see your rection only And your rection made me cry 😢😢😭😭 2× HARDER Ohhhh god I am not Joking there are tear drops on my I pad now...
I blindly watched all 24 episodes of Banana Fish with your reactions. You so funny and I loooove watching you react to all the episodes ^^ This episode was litteraly the saddest thing ever 😢😭😢😭😢😭 I was ugly crying for about 3 hours once I finished the anime
I knew what was going to happen, I’ve watched the ending before. But for some reason, this made me cry like no tomorrow. Maybe ash rest and peace and may him and eiji meet in another life. They are soulmates after all
This is the best anime for me. I love it because it's true. I feel pain due to Ash's pain as if he's my younger brother. In my heart, it was always the scene where Ash would go to Japan to meet Eiji and live a peaceful life until the end of his life
I love to rewatch shows such as given, fruits basket, haikyuu and whatnot but bananafish is the ONLY anime I CANNOT rewatch. Because I remember every scene completely and I can’t watch it, it has been emotionally engraved in my mind and I will break everytime I even try to watch the first episode.
I just finished watching Banana Fish and the end killed me inside I just wanted to cry so bad 😂 So I've been looking all over social media etc for PEOPLE who can relate 😭😂
Your reaction is sweet. I cried and thought if there had been anything to save him, too . In Manga, there is another story after this episode. We can see photos of Ash taken by Eiji, and what happened to Eiji when he heard about Ash passed away with his letter in Ash's hand. The story tells us how strongly Ash got Eiji`s heart and soul. Ash is never alone :)
i watch this before my friend and my friend just got into anime and she wanted to watch banana fish because she heard good things about it. i told her that she shouldn’t watch the anime for her first anime to finish. a week she tells me she’s watching it between classes and finished in one day (she took the online learning to) and later at 6 she calls me and says if i wanna watch the end with her. shes continues to say that she thinks i was overreacting because it doesn’t seem that depressing toward the end. then on the last episode in the last five minutes. she continues to say nothing can happen right because it the last five minutes. she sobbed from 8 to the next year
i cry literally so hard I just finished it and it lasted like 2h crying T-T i like, never will overcome a Banana Fish i am from Colombia my English is regular, but i´m learning ah and i am new :D

@@rose-yd9mn he was finally set free in that letter..I just can’t wrap my head around WHY he had to be abused so much by Foxx before he died. Fuck..
I LEGIT CRIED LIKE THIS FOR THIRTY MINUTES
i can't with the ending, it hurts so bad because i wanted them to be together so bad. And after everyone Ash has faced he his killed by someone so irrelevant. They deserved to be reunited, I just finished it and i'm an emotional mess. Please let them remake it to be happy so I can be at peace.
If you don’t want to read the manga, at least read the epilogue, and the side stories! Here they are, in reading order:
- Ura Banana (a very short, and very funny gag comic that breaks the fourth wall).
- Fly Boy in the Sky (how Ibe came to know Eiji during his pole vaulting career).
- Private Opinion (how Blanca met and trained Ash - probably the darkest side story in the series...).
- Angel Eyes (how Ash and Shorter met in juvie and became best friends).
- That Summer/Cape Cod (a poignant and very short little interlude between Ash and Eiji that one summer they were together.)
- Garden of Light (THE epilogue for the entire series - it’s also the one that has the most mixed opinion among fans!).
- New York Sense (the final epilogue, see where Eiji, Sing, Max and others are five years after Garden of Light).
Don’t forget that the original manga is set mainly in the 80s, from 1984 until 1986. The first epilogue takes place in 1994; the second, in 1999.
On a previous video I sent her all the links to these wonderful side pieces. You wrote better summaries than I did, thanks haha.
puella poop Where can we find them ?

And here's a small essay on the ending that might help you out a bit:

I watched by my self and in my mind was like: “Why would dat guys stab him while he was running...Poor Eiji he doesn’t know that happened..😭 I LITERALLY CRIED MY EYES OUT THIS IS MOSTLY THE TOP SADDEST ANIME😭😭😭
That guy was the Chinese guys ex- best friend 😭😭
I only just finished the series...And now I'm here, to hurt MORE apparently. God, I am sobbing along with you.
Ah so many tears, I just wanted Ash to be happy and I guess he was but without Eiji in his arms. I`ll you`ll need to watch something happier to try & recover from this. Such pure innocent emotions
In my imagination he is still alive.
Because, we didnt see an autopsie. Ok. Just leave me alone.
it's not only in your imagination, I'm still alive
@@arson8098 see I told all of them, that your death was only like"fake news". Go find Eiji. He needs you. No. You need him.
@@valeriapierce6115 you are right because you aren't wrong, I need him more than anything but you already knew that
@@arson8098 bzw did they tell your story correctly. Or did the forget some important news? And how did you feel, when you saw yourself on the screen?
@@valeriapierce6115 they didn't forget anything important just some small details that wouldn't have affected the story in any type of way. And I was actually pretty surprised when I saw myself on screen, did I do a great job pretending to be dead?
Your reaction was the exact same as mine and I’m crying as a write this . Im heartbroken
It’s been 2 weeks and im still not over it
This anime shattered me in so many different ways I watched it a year ago and the ending still makes me tear up 😔
3年ぶりに見てこの人の反応みてまた泣きまくった
枕が水浸しだぜ
I’m just going to pretend he was napping
That’s not what you should say Jesus 😰😂
Diana Z ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ child don’t cry I have planned that ash and Eiji will be together for their next lifes
Jesus Christ they better get married in their next life

@@bells3331 man i just finished watching this series and I just can't do or watch anything without feeling sad anymore this is one of the saddest animes I've watched..
英語は話せないので日本語ですいません。
エンディングの後気持ちが整理できなくて只々泣くしか出来なってしまう、私もそうでした。
そして、何度見ても色々な感情が入り混じり、何も言えず泣き崩れてしまいます。
あなたの気持ちは痛いほど分かります。
ですが、アッシュが苦しまずにエイジに救われて息を引き取ったことを奇跡だと思います。
どうかアッシュの魂が救われますようにと祈るばかりです。
I can feel you. Just watched the final episode last night. The last scene…. I just can’t stop to cry like a baby for like an hour.
I always cry with the end of Banana Fish, no matter how many times I see it, it makes me sad. I was watching your reaction and when it was time for the end I cried so hard with you 💔
I sobbed for 2 hours straight after I watched the finale, I know how you feel!
The line "my soul is always with you." breaks me every damn time
This is my 3rd time watching this scene yet I'm still crying with you 😭
Now literally everytime I see Ash I start crying 😢🤧
I haven’t cried or felt sadness this entire anime, but the ending of this episode just broke me
I’ve been sobbing for the past 15 minutes straight and I can’t breathe
WE REALLY NEED A SEASON 2
AND THEY DESERVE TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING
i cried with you. oh my goodness,, banana fish is so good but so incredibly painful
bananafish見て泣かない人はいないと改めて思った…
泣かんかったわ
泣かなかった2人目
そうですか、、私は最後の司書さんの一言で号泣したので皆さんも泣いたんだろうな
と思ったらそうでもないんですね
ごそう 私はただ、ただ呆然としてました。喪失感がやばい
泣かなかったのですが…2回目見たら泣けました。😭すごく泣きました😭
最後は、、、泣くよねぇ。。。
@@ささみ-l9n どう思いますか😊？
I've seen the ending thousands of times and watching your video makes me feel like I'm not suffering alone
I just want to pretend that he was just sleeping, and when Eiji came back to NY, they lived happier lives together. But I still cry every time I watch the ending. This anime got to me. It’s the saddest anime I’ve watched.
Still cying over this after a long time 💖 banana fish always has a special place in my heart ❤️❤️💖 this anime really needs more recognition... The ending always gets me, i still havent recovered from this anime 🥺🤧🤧
I finished this anime yesterday, I cried a lot and today I see your video and I cry like a baby again😭
I watched Banana Fish 5 times and I still can't get over it
何回観ても泣ける
I cant stop crying even I watched the final so many times it still hurt me like the first time
Scared to rewatch this anime. It’s just too painful.
I will re-watch this anime one day and bawl all over again. It won't be anytime soon, but it will happen. Maybe 5 years from now, maybe 10, maybe even more but I will. I promise you.
Speaking of, I am itching to re-watch Wolf's Rain. I love that one so much too but I don't remember everything anymore is why it's good to wait a long while before I ever re-watch anything. I think it's been over 10 years since I've last seen it. x_x;
I just watched it.... The world will be never the same again
So ash died
Me:cries” that truly is a Beautiful ending
What way to go I would want to go out reading a letter that has such Beautiful words
And reading the letter from the only best friend or lover and he held with great love for him so
"My soul is always with you". That line hit me in the feels so damn hard. That was when my eyes started to well up...and then you know what happens next. :(
That librarian is in the top 5 villains list 😂
i've watched this so many times and i am sobbing with you
i cried so hard watching banana fish that i couldn’t even cry to the last episode. i’ve rewatched it 4 times and i still cant get over it.
it's a different feeling crying by yourself than with someone
I'm broken again.
When I first watched the ending my body was so shaken I replayed the ending over a dozen times and I couldn’t stop my tears. This anime has conveyed emotion and the grave depravity of society and life like none other has. The tears you shed, the hatred you feel, and even the occasional laughs you have, all of it together have created such gorgeous moments and painful ones too. This is not just a show to me personally. It’s a series of played out cartoons that taught me life lessons that I will take with me forever. All Ash ever wanted was love, and all the people he got it from left him in the end. All except for Eiji. And in my heart people that are separated in life will be brought back together in heaven. And that has made all the difference.
It was 4am when I finished the last ep I cried my self to sleep legend says I'm crying cause ur crying cause eijis crying so where both crying
I can't accept it but it makes me cry ervrytime he is free from this hell of nightmare I wish I also could hug him
I can't believe i'm hurting myself by repeating this part and watching their reaction😭😭😭
“must be a nice dream” 🥺
I just finished this anime roughly 30mins ago as of typing this. A few years late but I've finally watched it nonetheless. Great anime with some minor flaws (to be expected, nothing is perfect). I bawled like a goddamn baby when I saw the ending. I re-watched it after I regained my composure and the tears started rolling down my face again. I can't recall feeling this emotional over a anime in a really long time.😭😭😭
I finished it about 5 hours ago and I'm still in tears
Snazzy Smile i finished an hour ago i’m still crying omg 😭
im still crying for this, and i saw the end one year ago.
I haven’t watched the anime, heard it’s good,
I’ve heard one of the characters get you know (raped)
Now I don’t want to, from what I’ve seen the pain is a bit too much
If you're not a fan of sad endings... It's your choice... But if you DO like sad andings you MUST watch it. Ever tho it's so tragic it teaches you so much (At least I became kinda more mature from the anime 😂)
Chicken Nugget I want to watch it even though it’s sad, but it’s to much for my tiny heart :((((
100 subs With animations and gaming! Then watch it and join the boat of pain and regret of watching it and then re-watching it again and again
This is my second time watching this episode and I’m quietly crying with you because it’s 2am
I’m still shocked it ended like that.......my fujoshi heart couldn’t handle it.....
you shouldn't be proudly saying you're a fujoshi- like we can all appreciate gay couples and stuff but fujoshi literally just means fetishizing gay couples :(
@@spacekid2608 I’m proud of who I am ngl, but no, we don’t just fetish gay couples k.
@@spacekid2608 first of all you shouldn’t bring ppl down k, it’s tough to openly say your a fujoshi because ppl only think you fetishize gay couples, no. Yes there are some fujoshies that go overboard but you shouldn’t think everyone is like that. Just saying....
😭😭😭 ash I thought you were dead in the end I was crying crazy for 1 hours . I don't know why i have already seen banana fish for 8 time but I cannot stop my feelings I cry always when I see the movie again again I cry and cry ..
If there is season 2 I hope ash and elji stay happy , happy forever . 😢🤗🤗 Hugh for ash and elji 😊😊..
Sorry to say that I have not seen the anime but this still made my cry
I legit finished it a few days ago it brought tears down my face
Love your reactions soo so much, and thank you for everything you said about Banana Fish and it’s characters at the end 💕🙏🏼😭 still makes me cry everytime, I cried again with you!!!
I still sob to this day...I’m not okay. I’ll never be able to forget this or recover.😕
ラオがアッシュを殺したのは、ただ嫌いだったってのもあるかもしれないけど、この戦いが終わったら、アッシュとシンは決闘するつもりだったので、そうなると絶対にシンは死んじゃうから、シンを守るために殺したっていう考察もありますよ！本当はその決闘はもう無かったことになっていたのに、それをラオ知らなかった。もし知っていれば...なんて思っちゃいます🥲
あと、アッシュの最後が安らかなお顔だったので、それがせめてもの救いです😌
いっぱいpicxivで生存if見まくりましょ！！
I have watched this anime about 3 times and I came here to see your rection only
And your rection made me cry 😢😢😭😭 2× HARDER
Ohhhh god I am not Joking there are tear drops on my I pad now...
Sorry to hear that😰💔 hope you’ll feel better!
I couldn’t stop crying
omg bannana fish is the best anime i have ever seen omg i am crying
This is exactly me when i finished the ending. I cried for like 15 minutes 😭😭
I blindly watched all 24 episodes of Banana Fish with your reactions. You so funny and I loooove watching you react to all the episodes ^^ This episode was litteraly the saddest thing ever 😢😭😢😭😢😭 I was ugly crying for about 3 hours once I finished the anime
I knew what was going to happen, I’ve watched the ending before. But for some reason, this made me cry like no tomorrow. Maybe ash rest and peace and may him and eiji meet in another life. They are soulmates after all
This is the best anime for me. I love it because it's true. I feel pain due to Ash's pain as if he's my younger brother. In my heart, it was always the scene where Ash would go to Japan to meet Eiji and live a peaceful life until the end of his life
Omg I want to give you hugs :( I know how it feels :(
the whole reaction is my whole mood when I first saw the end
I love to rewatch shows such as given, fruits basket, haikyuu and whatnot but bananafish is the ONLY anime I CANNOT rewatch. Because I remember every scene completely and I can’t watch it, it has been emotionally engraved in my mind and I will break everytime I even try to watch the first episode.
THIS MADE ME CRY SO MUCH BYEE IM STILL NOT OVER IT 😭😭THEY DESERVED BETTERRR
It made me cry for 3 hours, nonstop....He's just sleeping right? Why can't they make an alternative happy ending, WHY!!!!!!!!
I have to feel with you on this one even after watching this scene over 20 times it never fails to make me cry
I just finished watching Banana Fish and the end killed me inside I just wanted to cry so bad 😂 So I've been looking all over social media etc for PEOPLE who can relate 😭😂
Your reaction is sweet. I cried and thought if there had been anything to save him, too .
In Manga, there is another story after this episode. We can see photos of Ash taken by Eiji, and what happened to Eiji when he heard about Ash passed away with his letter in Ash's hand. The story tells us how strongly Ash got Eiji`s heart and soul. Ash is never alone :)
WHY LAO? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?? 😭😭😭😭 IM GONNA BE CRYING FOR DAYS NOW
I finished the series 10 minutes ago and I feel like I've died. 🤧😭
i watch this before my friend and my friend just got into anime and she wanted to watch banana fish because she heard good things about it. i told her that she shouldn’t watch the anime for her first anime to finish.
a week she tells me she’s watching it between classes and finished in one day (she took the online learning to) and later at 6 she calls me and says if i wanna watch the end with her. shes continues to say that she thinks i was overreacting because it doesn’t seem that depressing toward the end. then on the last episode in the last five minutes.
she continues to say nothing can happen right because it the last five minutes. she sobbed from 8 to the next year
I don‘t know why I‘m doing this to myself, watched it about 5 times now and cried everytime so hard I couldn‘t breathe
This is my 3rd time watching this without crying 💀
Isabella Stafford congrats u done something no human on earth could do. 👏👏
Are you human??
