I suppose Takahata's metaphorical intentions seeped into mind when I made this selection, though it seems this character perhaps doesn't strictly, in the classical sense, die. That said - and with the caveat that its been some time since I saw the film - my recollection is that even on the literal level: beyond merely removing her memories, the moon people were putting an end to her human life and bringing Kaguya back to her celestial state of being - a form of Ascending to a Higher Plane of Existence, which overlaps with Johnbobb's "disappears in a way they cannot come back from" clause. Nevertheless, if I am mistaken about that, I am mistaken, and given the examples Johnbobb elaborates with, I am going to assume it does not meet the spirit of his criterion, anyway. I will retract this nomination. Nominating: ~~Wanda Dunn~~ (The Twilight Zone - ~~"Nothing in the Dark"~~) <cite>Torlovsk posted [p:963455167] in B8's Best ...
