Wow, the word "ending song" and the image you choose just below crushed my heart into thousand pieces!!
And if you are fed up with Hollywood's "it must always have an happy end" uniformity: There are animes that will make you weep even years later, just from the sound of their ending song.
"secret base..." just the name can move my heart and the funny guy crying, it's just.... just.... a great post!
I think my tears dried up before the 20 minutes mark T.T such a shame that every time I hear the name my eyes remember the feeling and start again T.T
