| Well, I get sad and depressed over an anime just because..it's well, over. But I do have a few which I thought were truely sad. A few of them are: Eureka Seven Fate/Stay Night Shining Tears x Wind Uta~Kata Utawarerumono |
| Depressing would definitely be: School Days Sad: Chrno Crusade Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Ginban Kaleidoscope Elfen Lied Blood+ Air I"s Pure |

| Air and Kanon were both pretty good. But were nothing compared to the emotional impact of Byousoku 5cm, Haibane Renmei, and Kenshin Tsukioken (sp?). Not necessarily 'sad' anime, but anime that had me so emotionally attached that any sort of conclusion would've been like ripping off superglue-ducttape. |

| the End of Evangelion(it's more like WTFmate?!) Elfen Lied are the animes that were depressing... |

| AIR - Left me depressed for about a week. Kanon - Was extremely sad at times. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - Same as AIR pretty much, but to a lesser extent. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Pretty much all of the animes that have succeeded in making a decent emotional impact on me are in my favorites list: One Piece, Code Geass, Nana and Kanon. Air too, I suppose, though it wasn't quite as good as Kanon was. It's pretty rare that I have an emotional reaction to much of anything though, I guess. As for depressing, the only animes that I've ever found depressing are the ones that don't realize their true potential and the supremely awesome shows. The former leave me depressed because there are so many shows out there that could've been so great but didn't quite make it. And the latter because they're finished... whenever I finish any fictional entertainment - books, movies, anime, games - it's always depressing that the story doesn't continue any further. Like the entire fantasy world and all the characters in it just died, you know? It makes me want to start it over again for the first time, but that's not really possible. |
 |
| Grave of the fireflies was really sad... |

theplayster said: the End of Evangelion(it's more like WTFmate?!) Starts with Shinji whacking one off over Asuka then leads to Rei turning into a bigger Rei who proceeds to insert a tree into the vagina on her forehead which causes her to get joined at the hip with Shinji meanwhile everyone else dies before going onto destroy the world with glowing crucifixes and blood. Between all this there are pop ups of real word images of death threats, people in the cinema and people walking down the street. Makes perfect sense. Anyways 5 centimeters per second. Voices of a distant star (since i presume she's going to die drifting off into distant space after reading too many halo novels :P ) Eflen Lied Fullmetal alchemist Rurouni Kenshin trust and betrayal Cowboy bebop |

| Grave of the Fireflies Nana Honey and Clover ...most of what everyone has said, already. |
| Grave of the Fireflies, for sure. Wolf's Rain, to some extent. |
     |
| Grave of the Fireflies will top this list, which is a good thing because it accomplishes it's task. That film is supposed to affecting into beleiveing a cirtain way about war and what it does. 5 Centimeters per Second I feel will also be pretty high on alot of people's lists. for me this wasn't the case. While the movie did affect me, specifically the 2nd part because I related with that more, I didn't find myself depressed or sad. I did find myself in a wave or self contemplation about the distance I have placed between myself an other people emotionally, but I wasn't depressed. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| - 5 Centimeters per Second - Elfen Lied - Full Moon wo Sagashite ( Episode 42-45 make me almost cry) - Hotori - Noir, was sad too - Angel Links (the end) - Soukou no Strain - Lain (yes. I think it was sad too, in some way) I know there are some more series, but at the moment I can't remember... |
 |
| Lain definitely has a different kind of sadness - what I got from it was...a kind of reluctant distance with 'humanity'. The way Lain was 'different' made me sad. Also, Rurouni Kenshin Tsukioken hasn't been mentioned on this list as much as I thought it would be. The main musical motif of that just haunts me for a week or two every time I watch it, which isn't that often considering how heavy it is. |
| ((ayatsuri.net/tomaranai))-((Website coming soon)) |
| Elfen Lied with huge difference from everything else... |
 |
| Elfen Lied for me as well. |
     |
| 5 Centimeters Per Second is some warm soup for the soul. And Naruto, depressing in general. |

| FMA |
| Air / Air summer specials / Samurai Champloo / Pale Cocoon |
| The most dramatic one, in my opinion, is SaiKano, shortly followed by Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. And a certain part of Simoun |
| Elfen Lied and Rurouni Kenshin Tsukioken. The depressing ending is what makes them so good. :D |
| Definitely AIR. I can't even -look- at images of that series anymore without my eyes welling up with tears; the ending hit me really bad, and it's that kind of "sad" that just really lingers on you. ;___; I also found SaiKano almost painfully sad, especially the manga. I remember crying really hard at the ending of the Fushigi Yuugi anime when I watched it a few years ago too. :O |
| ~ m e l i // anime list // manga list // --------------- Avatar made by me, please credit During A Rainfall if using. :)<!--size--></span> |
| Well, FMA's ending made me cry (it's true! XD) but it wasn't depressing. I guess The End of Evangelion was quite depressing (even though it's probably my favorite anime movie ever!). |
| Elfin Lied. |
 |
| Just finished Elfen Lied this week... have to add that one to my list... T_T |
| Not sure how many would agree, I haven't seen heaps of anime, let alone serious ones. Mahou Sensei Negima, not depressing, but I have to say the saddest I've gotten over anime (so far) was the last few episodes with the whole Asuna thing. |
 |
| X tv was very depressing because it was so boring and I didn't liked it at all. :S |
| Without doubt, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Elfen Lied is pretty depressing as well |
 |
| Cossette no Shouzou Hachimitsu to Clover II Hitsuji no Uta Voices of a Distant Star Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuiokuhen Grave of the Fireflies |
     |
| i was depressed by epi 12 of Green Green TV, when Midori gave her life for Yuusuke-kun ;( |
     |
| I recently got depressed/upset on the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion when |
|
| Like everyone else said, Grave of the fireflies has gotta be number one. Voices of a Distant Star has a really big impact too... it was the only 30 minute OVA that has ever made me bawl uncontrolably... I couldn't help but cry during it, honestly... and most anime can't say that! |
 |
| Elfen Lied |
| put this in your signature if you have attempted alchemy by clapping your hands together or by drawing an array. |
| Definitely Grave of the Fireflies T.T My others would have to be: Chrono Crusade Air Parts of Kanon Voices of a Distant Star I know I have more... must be too early to think of them :P |
 |
| End of Evangelion - depressed for a few days each time I watched it Thinking there must be others but after listing that one I can't think of any at the moment.. |
| Air. The ending was confusing, but it still made me depressed. :S |
 |
| hm..Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien wasn't that sad, i mean aaanyway, to stop me from ranting...i think the most depressing anime i every watched would be Grave of the Fireflies.....i knew oh...i almost forgot...Voices of a Distant Star was sorta depressing...and 5 Centimeter was depressing too but i felt nothing ...does that make any sense at all? to any of u XD P.S. maybe im not sympathetic enough but Kanon and Air wasnt depressing one bit! XD. i just finished those back to back and i was like "okay? that was it? some sad story tat is" *goes tell friend that it wasnt sad as he said it was( |
ArekkusuSep 1, 2007 9:34 PM
 |
| Elfen Lied The End of Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin - Trust and Betrayal Rurouni Kenshin - Reflection (First Anime that actually made me cry) And many other got really emotional parts. I still have to finish watching Chrno Crusade as soe ppl said it to be sad. |
 |
| My top 5 are: Bokura ga Ita Nana Kimi ga Nozumu Eien Full Moon Wo Sagashite and sort of Paradise Kiss they're others but can't remember now :S |
     |
Malkoto_Zlo said: My top 5 are: Bokura ga Ita Nana Kimi ga Nozumu Eien Full Moon Wo Sagashite and sort of Paradise Kiss they're others but can't remember now :S ditto! And also... "Air". |
 |
| Definitely Air and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. If you've seen them, it's pretty obvious why. |
| For me it is: Fullmetal Alchemist (almost every episode made me cry, and especially the end...) Naruto (the episodes with Haku and almost everyone's past, and most of all Sasuke's past and departure... >_< And of course, all those talks about friendship and all...) NANA (It was pretty angsty in the most parts but the ending was a bit encouraging) |
     ~Do you think that I smile because everything's alright?~ |
| Fullmetal Alchemist that ending was so f***ing sad. Elfen Lied the mayu story had me tearing up. Naruto the whole sasuke why dont you come back with me episode. Spirited away was so sweet I just had to let out a little happy tear |
 |
| One of the saddest animes for me is Inuyasha. It centers around a couple that didn't trust each other or didn't know each other enough to see through manipulations from outside forces and one mans love/obsession for a woman that he bascially traded his soul to have her. thus affecting the entire world for all time. The love triangle is just so sad. Actually, if you think about it, its four people, not just three. HMMMMMMM.......never thought about it like that. |
