Anime where main male character dies[this thread = spoliers]

[Timdog]

So I need anime where one of the main male characters dies. Also needs to have a romance involving that character and also preferably slice of life/romance focused. Obviously spoilers all over the place in this thread.

[Corran: Added note to thread name since the titles being mentioned alone = spoilers.]

Hmmmm the first few suggestions won't work since there is a lot of "slice of life imagery" in the lyrics:

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile

If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile

There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sometimes when you're doing simple things
around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile

You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on
your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile

These wheels keep turning but they're running out
of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Keep me in your heart for awhile

Spoiler :

School Days
Main Character: Itou Makoto
Romance: Anything with a vagina, but mostly Kotonoha and Sekai

I think it would fit the lyrics nicely.

Romeo x Juliet lol !

The girl who leapt through time.

Spoiler :

(She doesn't die permanently, but she definitely gets hit by a speeding train so........yeah)

In Gantz,

Spoiler :

the main character also gets hit by a speeding train and looses his head (literally)

In Kino's journey

Spoiler :

Male Kino gets stabbed in episode 5 while trying to protect girl Kino

The Gantz and Girl who leapt through time scenes could fit to the lyrics about a train.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

Spoiler :

Yuki dies in episode 8, but his sister doesn't realize it till episode 10. So that means that you also have at least 2 and a half episodes of scenes with his ghost.
