''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' has quite a few TearJerker moments...
----
* The cat girls and Folken, Van in the barn dealing with [[spoiler: Hitomi and Allen]], and the epic final battle followed by [[spoiler: Van and Hitomi having to part and never see each other again, because without the pendant she can never return to Gaia.]]
** [[spoiler: But then Hitomi sees a vision of Van watching from afar--[[BittersweetEnding which if you remember is because they can still see each other as long as they both wish for it.]]]]
* Dilandau's [[SanitySlippage descent into further insanity]], especially in his only scene in episode 16. The German dubbed version of it has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcqH26XvAik&t=819s extremely realistic]], tortured screaming.
* Episode 17. The song "Perfect World" and Allen's talk with his father about life...
* ''The Vision of Escaflowne'' had a few such scenes revolving around Van and Hitomi.
** Or the one with Allen [[spoiler: and his DeadAllAlong DisappearedDad.]]
** Even worse, [[spoiler: Jajuka's death and his flashbacks to the day when he was separated of his former charge Selena... who would soon become Dilandau.]]
* The look on Van's face when he witnesses [[spoiler: Allen kissing Hitomi]], it's hard not to feel sorry for him, his face is the expression of a kicked puppy.
* The look on Hitomi and Van's faces when they witness [[spoiler:Folken's death]]. After he became such a nice guy, to see his lifeless body falling to the ground, and seeing Van finally screaming "BROTHER!" in a sad tone, without any anger or hate, hurts a lot.
* The cat girls' death. Their past was pretty sad as well. Hitomi tried so hard to be kind to them and then they died.
