Sera Myu 30 Day Meme
Day Nineteen Twenty- Saddest musical scene?

So Sera Myu is the best at sad scenes. It was hard not to have this answer be a tie between this scene and Kakyuu’s death in Eien Densetsu and every Sorezore no Elegy.
But this scene won out, because the kittens are so happy. They’ve been waiting for their mothers to come back for five thousand years, and here they are, finally close enough to embrace. The kittens are dying, they’re probably in pain, but it doesn’t matter because their mothers are back.
And the mothers. God, I want to give these actresses every award. Their faces show everything in this scene. They’re happy, they’re regretful, they’re terrified. They left their children alone for 5000 years. They left them, but they’re forgiven. They’re forgiven, but their children are dying in their arms.

5000 years of waiting. They get to be together less than five minutes.
