You would have also said "Sailor Moon." My brain could only handle 5-6 episodes of THAT when I was 8. I still remember the plot: Evil Genius: Okay, I need to cause trouble for these humans *plots evil schemes* *Sailor Moon and her friends hang out where the Evil Genius is plotting* *The Evil Genius's schemes manifest* Sailor Moon and her friends: We're cool, we're spouting nonsense... Err, of course, we're bringing retribution in the name of the Moon! MAAAACHI, YOU GOATS!!! *The Evil Genius's minions wave away the mini-skirts* *Sailor Moon cries* *Tuxedo Mask appears* Tuxedo Mask: Sailor Moon, take down the goat! Sailor Moon: Hyper-mega-super-duper-cool-definitely-lunar attack, goat, get ready! *The goat gets taken down and self-destructs* *Tuxedo Mask leaves* *Sailor Moon and her friends continue hanging out*

Full Metal Alchemist - it's also very sad, about how at the beginning, the two alchemist brothers wanted to bring their mother back to life, but instead, the older brother lost an arm and a leg (he walked around with iron prosthetics throughout the series), and the younger brother lost his body altogether (throughout the series, his soul was trapped in armor). So, they set out in search of the "Philosopher's Stone" to restore the younger brother's body and the older brother's arm and leg, but to get it, they had to go through a lot. The brothers even fought their own mother, in the form of an evil homunculus. And when they finally found it, the older brother had to go to our world to save his younger brother. Fortunately, in the full-length movie "Shambala," they will meet again, but at the same time, many good people will give their lives for their reunion.
