Do I need more depression in my life? Yes, yes I do. I'm specifically looking for action/adventure anime with sad endings (like

).

Thanks in advance!

(the majority of this anime is depressing af, especially the ending of season 3)

(historical and depressing)

(probably the saddest ending I've ever known from a book and the anime does the book the most justice in my opinion)

Honey & Clover starts pretty light hearted, but when it gets depressing, it gets really depressing. But it's just a drama

Also Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Black Lagoon, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Ima Soku ni Iru Boku could do it.

Code geass - the ending is both depressing and satisfying at the same time.

Welcome to the NHK is one of the best pieces of fiction about depressions, period. Neon Genesis Evangelion is depressing as well. If you want something super depressing but a little more light hearted, Your Lie in April will do the trick. There are many more, but that's a decent start
