Welcome to the NHK has a lot of themes of suicide but i dont really recall if it explicitly romanticizes it

The best movie ever

i can't really think of any but "i sold my life for ten thousand yen per year" is a really short manga with like 17 chapters iirc and it reinforced my idea of living a short somewhat happy life over a long normal miserable one

I loved the suicide at the end of Terminator 2. Even though it's a robot it's a beautiful suicide. He even gives a thumbs up to others to have a good life while he dies. I wish I could die like that... ask a friend to lower me into molten metal. (If I had the fucking courage).

I agree it was an amazing movie, it does romanticize it a bit. I would say it focuses a lot on how many people would be affected though and is anti-suicidal in nature, not that that makes it any worse of a movie.

I know it isn't an anime, but I feel like Goodnight Punpun does? But as I grow older, the more of an aversion I have for it and don't want to identify with it.

Not exactly suicide, but Slow Damage does have a hell lot of really dark, heavy themes like self-harm, masochism/sadism, abuse, absurdly unhealthy relationships, stockholm syndrome, and stuff like that. Hope you like video games, 'cause it's a visual novel instead of something you could watch.

Charlie kaufmans Im thinking of ending things. Doesnt exactly romanticize but it has aaallll the good stuff

The Sunset Limited. It romanticizes suicide from beginning to end. Or rather, Tommy Lee Jones romanticizes it. Samuel L Jackson's character vilifies it. It's basically a discussion between a pro lifer and ctb enthusiast from beginning to end.

Not really anime, but Boy's Abyss is a manga series that rather does romanticize suicide. Overextension of the series by the mangaka is considered by some to have diminished its plot but I still think it's a rather decent romanticization of it, even if the ending is ambiguous.

It's more like a righteous suicide documentary.

I remember reading the first volume back in 2022 but I ended up dropping it because it was a little too depressing....might pick it up back again.

Exit Plan is a good movie that explores CTB topics. Doesn't romanticize it but there is a character that was just so happy to fucking die man. It was a good movie

 

[Zzzkurt]

Not anime or romanticizing per se, but two, in my opinion, pretty good movies specifically about suicide is A Long Way Down (2014) and On the Count of Three (2021).

This scene maybe, its from an anime called Shuffle.

Judging off the plot this movie from the 60s called They Shoot Horses Don't They? romanticizes suicide and concludes with it happening.
