Could be a tragedy. I just want an anime with a sad ending.

School Days - at least to me it didn't appear to be a happy ending. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks like that.

I was gonna say Princess Tutu, but you avatar indicates you've already seen it.

Thus i direct you to the trope page for Bittersweet Ending.

How does Code Geass Season 1 have a sad ending? It was rather indifference, since caring about the characters is about as hard as putting my leg behind my head.

School Day's been recommended twice. Hmm, I may check that one out then.

I wouldn't call Code Geass season 1's ending sad even if you do care about the characters, since you have no idea what the fuck actually happens and nobody major actually turns out to be dead once you watch R2...

Texhnolyze is a pretty weird anime. It's really out there w/the whole sci-fi thing so you'll need to pay attention to understand what's going on. It's dark throughout most of the anime & it has a depressing ending.

School Days.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

Ga-rei zero i guess... it is not completely a happy ending nor a very sad one.. but if you watch the story and note the development, it can probably be a good recommend.
