So the last time I got sad about a death in an anime was in Code Geass, and even that didn't make me cry. But I just finished watching the 23rd episode of Fate/Zero, and I actually shed some tears. That's so not fair, I hated that they got rid of him (and I want to say the name so badly, but I don't know who hasn't seen it)
You should have saw it coming if you've seen Fate/Stay Night, unless you're just waiting for the reboot. Wouldn't blame you...
