Suicide Is Painless: Difference between revisions

* One character in ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'', after going crazy and piloting his mech into a suicidal situation, sings the theme song from the [[Show Within a Show]] ''[[Gekiganger 3]]'' in one of the most disturbing scenes in the show.

* The ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'' episode "Happy Family Planning" features three characters who met online trying to kill themselves unsuccessfully. They eventually resort to chasing Shonen Bat/Lil' Slugger down, begging to die. By the end of the episode all three have died without realizing it, though exactly when this happens for all three is left intentionally ambiguous. The final scene shows them realizing their deaths, laughing in joy, and walking down the street as ghosts, singing a cheery tune.

* In ''[[Alive the Final Evolution]]'' those infected by the suicide virus behave this way.

* This is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Maiza's]] reasoning for approaching Firo and [[I Cannot Self-Terminate|asking the kid to kill him]] (more specifically, he's both [[Seen It All]] and finally received closure over his [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Little Brother]]) at the end of the first arc of ''[[Baccano]]!''. Firo's response is to nod, smile...and then give a number of entirely bullshit reasons for why he [[2001: A Space Odyssey|can't do that, Dave]], before admitting that he really just doesn't want to lose his mentor.
