I've always thought that the value of a sad ending is in it's suddenness and poignancy. Because we are hearing a story that didn't actually happen, we expect a few unrealistic things to happen--such as a gauranteed happy ending. Because we use stories as an escape from real life, we want things to end with a "happily every after", since such a thing rarely happens in real life. Also, sorrow and pity are much stronger emotions. They stay with us and they move us much more deeply than happy ones. Of course, because they are generally the opposite of the kind of ending we want, we general feel dissapointed by such endings, even though we usually get more out of them than we do from the usually "dancing into the sunset" types.

I personally like endings which end in a sad, bittersweet manner, however, for it to be satisfying, there needs to be an element of hope. There needs to be a reasonable chance that these characters, regardless of their current states, will end up okay. So long as there is hope, then a sad ending can be a very good way to end a story with a poignant, emotional bang, which fairy princess endings often lack.

Mother, I'm touched by such a response~ I love movies that are just meant to move you. It can get quite boring with the same old happy endings. Now I want to watch a sad movie~ -runs off-

Actually, I think it is best for you, Tamaki, to avoid such tragedies. You generally become far too involved in the emotions of the characters, and it's a bit troublesome to cheer you up afterward.
