Just finished Watashi ga Motenai and, call me weird, but I like shows that kinda just make you feel depressed and/or sorry for the characters in it.

I've already seen NHK a long time ago. All the other recommendations listed on that anime page are for lighthearted comedies like Lucky Star or Daily Lives of Highscool Boys, which is far from what I'm looking for.

My favorite quotes from animes:

Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people
who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass

It's rare for a anime to give that feeling, as there tends to be more upbeat moments purposed placed, to preven such a feeling taken place after a tragic event.

If movies are allowed, by all means check out

Kumo no You ni, Kaze no You ni

and to a slightly lesser extent

Ark(2005), it tries to put a bitter sweet spin on the ultimate outcome, but It's still mostly sad.


If it needs to be a series, maybe Letter Bee(not the 1st season, but 99% of the 2nd season is darkness, and utter despair, so that may do the trick for you, although it does end with a semi happy ending.

Loveless
My poor Ritsuka.
WORK IN PROGRESS
~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~
I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit,
Adenomata affronted.
It was the verecund, dismissed creatures
That I jubilated in most.
This rabbit I would nurture,
At the aiguille of esse,
The anneal of noblesse.

It isn't that depressing but Orange I guess. Since you already have it on your list I'd recommend to watch it.
