it's raining..

@Aretheus

I usually don't feel that 'conflicting happiness'. I only feel emotional torment/sense of defeat. The only difference between what I feel and your other examples is that one belong in the more tragic category (usually war stories, lots of fighting, etc, and thus no redeeming features). Its almost like nitpicking between a cup half full / cup half empty kind of situation but in my case I see something like "small cup 9/10th empty while dying of thirst" for these so called 'bittersweet ending'.

One example is having all your favorite characters die while the ones you don't care that much about obtain 'redemption' or w/e. On a side note, it is probably a severely biased view since my favorite characters are the ones that usually get killed off Spoiler

(Sorry. I think this is me venting a little about how my favorite characters get killed off or something every 2-3 stories. Starting to think I am a death flag. 😨)

Feel warm here...

Excuse me, was that a waving death flag right there?

Dang that bird is tha man

@Nep The difference is if you feel a conflicting happiness while simultaneously feeling immense emotional torment. An ending like 5cm/s, Your Lie in April, and fucking Etika that's purely tragic with no redeeming element is just sad.

Most writers will choose to add that silver lining though. Reminiscence, redemption, release, repreive, that's where the bittersweet feeling comes from imo.

What the hell am I tearing up for a bird's love. 😭
Damn, this was good.
