Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane and Zetsuen No Tempest.
The former for simply being depressing,the latter...Well...It's the beginning of the 3rd month since I've downloaded this show,I'm stuck at episode 21 and I got a feeling I'm gonna fall apart if I saw the final 3 episodes.

I had to drop Aku no Hana at first cause the heavy oppressive atmosphere of it and the Mc’s actions kept making me think of small or large mistakes I’ve made in the past that I did not want to revisit. Eventually got over that and finished it but I had dropped it for months because of that.

The top three that set off my feelers woud be:
3) Anohana
2) Clannad+After Story
And the one that crashed my anime binging for a couple months
1) Koe no Katachi
Kinda surprised it took this long to make the list...
Either way time to see how Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso fares
Thanks for the tip-off all, I saw the name a while back and really didnt think anything of it, but now I'll have to give it a go

End of Evangelion gave me two nights of nightmares, a sort of existential crisis and for some reason a fear of ever becoming a parent.. :D so that's close enough I guess. I still loved that movie.

HMMM~ From what I can remember...

Naruto Shippuden
One Piece
K Project
Iron-Blooded Orphans
Hunter x Hunter
Akame ga Kill

I cried so much for these...

Then there's Boku no Pico... Which gave me depression in a whole other way...

I would have to say Full Metal Alchemist. While watching the final episode it was really giving off hints that things were gonna end tragically. The one thing I was praying would happen was that no matter what Ed & Alphonse would always be together. And well if you've watched the show you know how it ended. It definitely put me in serious depression for at least an hour give or take. Luckily, a little while later I watched FMA: The Conqueror of Shamballa and it helped a lot. Now granted, Winry being left behind was really sad. But I cared more that the brothers were reunited.

I have to say for some reason the ending of Gundam Unicorn brought a tear to my eye. I can't really explain it but I hate how the protagonist chose the rich annoying girl and not the awesome girl who truly loved him.

It put me off Gundam so bad I've never watched any Gundam series since.

After rewatching Code Geass lately, the ending made me feel very sad and left me with a feeling of emptiness for quite a while (days). It didn't even hit me that much the first time I watched it so I was actually surprised by my emotional response. That made me think about just how much the current state of one's life influences the way a given anime affects you. Like, if you are going through some hard moments (the loss of a close relative for example) then an anime where a character (especially one you can relate to) goes through a similar situation will hit you harder than it otherwise would've.

Welcome to the NHK actually relapsed me into depression,no joke. I just saw myself so much in Misaki and I couldn't bear it. I love the Anime with all my heart,but I try not to think about it too much. All the suicidal imagery hit really close to home.

Well it was strange tho, I'am someone who cries even way too easily when it comes to anime considering the poker face I usually have in real life lol, but znt was special somehow dunno. It was a mix of shook, considering how the first ten minutes of the last episode were so peaceful and then bang, all dead.
And damn, nine screaming for twelve's death was just beatiful, kudos to the seiyuu

I don't know about depression from sad anime. I mean, there are series that make me cry, sure (Anohana, Assassination Classroom, Kimi no Na Wa, Gundam IBO) but they never have lasting impacts. I don't know if this is just me, but I tend to get depressed from the shows that are more psychologically impactful. I think I just get way to invested in the characters/plot, so sudden major and irreversible changes kinda seriously mess me up (I don't mean give me clinical depression or anything, they just kinda...break me mentally - I don't know how else to describe it). Code Geass, for example, kinda hurt to watch.
I wouldn't stop crying for a while. Even after I all that, it took me a while to finish the series, cause I just kept feeling that heavy despair come back to me, especially with all the other high-strung scenes in the rest of the show. It's been almost a year and I still can't listen to the season 1 OP without tearing up, and it's hard to watch any clips from the anime.

The only other example of this is when I finally watched Death Note this summer. I had all the time in the world to binge it, and I got really addicted to it (guess it was the constant tension and the extremely fast pacing). When I finally finished it, I had been binging for hours. Watching the last 2 episodes was the most stressful and heart pounding thing I've ever done.
even now I'm physically uncomfortable writing this and having to remember how stressful this was to watch. I was in such shock that I just sat there and couldn't finish the last episode for a good hour (I had to physically force myself to finally watch it). After I did, I was really shaken - I couldn't think about anything else for days - and I might've considered myself to have depression just because of how deeply it impacted me mentally and psychologically.

I guess this is a kind of weird thing, but I was just curious if anyone has ever felt this way before? I believe that any work of fiction - movie, books, TV shows, anime - can have an emotional impact on you if they are well constructed and are something you enjoy immensely. Or maybe I'm just really weird for getting so emotionally and psychologically invested in these types of shows...

- Fate/Zero. I don't like Kiritsugu that much but it really hurts to see his dream and the town crumbles like that.
- 5 cm/s (it was one of my first anime). Damn I can relate too much to some of its characters' way of thinking.

Those two anime made me rethink about my dream, life choice, and my long time irl crush.

Grave of the Fireflies, Anohana, Haibane Renmei, Hotarubi no Mori e, In This Corner of the World.... there have been a few. Some also left me with a slightly depressed feeling though the anime did not have any tragic ending - a good example would be Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise.

The bad anime is the one that always gave me depression after watching it.

Depression of it won't be even concluded so you can laugh on it then move on and because it was so bad that it was etched into your memories.

Me?
I guess all the drama stuff..
I remember waking up crying after watching Kamisama no nai nichiyobi.

Some were like.
Shinsekai Yori, the awoken emotions was mixed, i can t really describe it.

Ansatsu no Kyousitsu i cried watching the last episode holding my years on bed.

Then Scum wish idk why i felt like its kinda sad.. just sad and yeah i did also holding tears.

Koi to Uso seems sad i also tried to hold my tear but now that i remember the whole conclusion it's laughable than sad.

Gurren Lagann ending..

Grisaia i guess? It's pretty interesting relationship he got there with his mentor.

New game 2nd season, god i didn't expect that in 2nd season despite anticipated Yagami changes of emotion.

Planetarian, this one almost gave me crippling depression. Least the ending fix it.

Shuumatsu (Sukasuka) Rip.

I felt like i am an emotional person due easly get attached to emotional stuff even in real life despite being a dense and easy going person.

xtrapsp said:


I disagree with this comment, the feeling of something you enjoy finishing can be depressing.

The narrative can be depressing as well, I found the ending of Cowboy Bebop depressing, whilst becoming depressed is probably the wrong phrase, I would definitely say the act of feeling depressed is definitely viable.

Depression is not just, oh that made me feel sad and now I'm a bit upset, it's a little more than that. "Serious depression" is probably not the right choice of words in this situation. Depression is a long lasting mental health issue and does need professional help.


You've simply paraphrased what I said.
