| Elfen lied.. brought me to tears. Only anime I know that could bring my emotion to that level is Overlord. |
| I ship @Cewkie and @DarkZeroCalibur  |
| I think Hotaru no Haka was probably the saddest i've watched. |
 |
| Maybe Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume? I felt really sad after watching it. |

katsucats said: As several others have mentioned, Texhnolyze. It gave me depression for 3 weeks... I wouldn't call it depression personally but it felt like a part of me was ripped out my inner being. The lethargic pacing is a smokescreen for what happens later, no way the plot becomes coherent had it been rushed which I attribute to great directing. The ending for me was contentious but acceptable at the same time, it was hinted beforehand. The nihilism is strong with this one and the ending just poured misery on top of that. That is one weird analogy but I assumed you winged it. Post-anime depression for two weeks - this is one those shows that takes a lot of time to reflect on. It was on my mind throughout my summer vacation. A lot of pondering was done to "figure it out" which made for a great puzzle. |

Eita_Izumi said: Maybe Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume? I felt really sad after watching it. I have watched Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume. The thought of a robot diligently serving humans and taking pride in it made me think of slavery with an even worse condition.. you see your masters as good people. As I saw the ending, I was on the verge of tears, not because of the death of a robot, but because of the utter selfishness of humanity in creating sentient beings in the first place just to make money or make things easy for themselves. Plastic memories, despite some of its outrageously bad attempts at comedy, showed me something even darker. That humans would create robots of sentience, give them a limited lifespan, and make them aware of it. I wonder how those same humans would fare if their lifespan was dictated like it and controlled as such. Sorry abt the rant but I felt deeply sad over these two anime, especially considering we may face that reality in the future. It feels no different from murder. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| Very surprised no ones mentioned Made in Abyss yet. |
Phossy said: shalalablup said: his explanation literally describes re:zero, one of the most fucked up anime i've watched in a while, but it still has its positive vibes, its a mindfuck of an animeRe:Zero - Starting Life in Another World from Zero. Leaves you with a sadness and thoughtfulness that can't be easily explained in a few sentences. Her * :P But thank you! I feel like I've descended into a spiral of just responding "Re:Zero" whenever anyone asks for suggestions or any kind of "most" anime, haha. |

| Kaiba will wreck your heart and soul. And its avantgarde visuals make it especially disturbing. |
| Has no one mentioned Fate/Zero 2nd Season yet? If not, that's mine. Hunter x Hunter too... |
| Deadman Wonderlad maybe? First episode and a high school boy gets to see his best friend's head chopped off, whole class murdered and also he gets blamed for it.... pretty sick and sad. |
| Not an anime but Doki Doki Literature Club. You're welcome. |
| Nobody mentioned Legend of Galactic Heroes yet. It may be overlooked because of the main theme, but it does contain probably the most dysfunctional and tragic relationships I've yet seen in anime (in addition to loads and loads of other tragedy). By that I mean the relationship between admiral Reuenthal and Baroness von Kohlrausch. It's the anime that produced the immortal quote "You may have killed millions of people, but at least you made me happy." (quote unrelated to the previously mentioned romance). |
| 'Akame ga Kill' left me in bad shape for a couple of days. Re:Zero was also pretty harsh. How is 'Overlord' tragic? Like, only 4 semi-main characters died, and Ains totally crushed the person who did it, so.....they've been avenged, I guess? |
| I like to live every day like it's my last.....and by that, I mean lying in a puddle of my own urine, calling for the nurse to bring me more pudding. |
| Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans |
 "Do you know why snow is white? Because it's forgotten what color it's supposed to be." - C.C. |
| Just finished the berserk anime and it's got me about ready to kill myself. Now that's a tragedy. |
| One that comes to mind is Grave of the Fireflies... mostly because I showed the film to my mom and she was bawling at the end, and I rarely see her cry haha. |

| Zankyou no terror,your lie in april,death note and Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul. These personally really upset me through out the whole show + at the end. |

Half-MagePrince said: Easy. That would be Hal. It shocked me at the end of my seat and the river flowed hard. T_T Agreed. I was pretty shaken after finishing the manga and still after watching the movie. Definitely Grave of Fireflies. It leaves you empty except for a sense of sorrow. I still avoid rewatching it to not feel those emotions. Other then that, I don't remember other memorable ones. |
Can I touch you? Please I love you. Let me touch you, I love you! Friend: How's school? Me: School gave me debt and my plant mold.  |
| I would have to give my vote to Katanagatari. |
| First 4 episodes of Aoi Bungaku Series. NHK ni Youkoso if you relate/self-insert. Finishing Aria, realizing it's not real and your life is shit. |

| Wolf's Rain is one of the saddest anime I've watched. After the last few episodes I was just in shock, and I still think about the ending all the time. Gungrave also had a pretty tragic ending, from what I can remember. |
| Episodes 300-316 of Gintama. Watched those episodes a few days ago and my soul has just now started to recover. |
