As far as ones that made me cry simply because they were over, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is pretty much the only one. I got so into the show that when it was over I got majorly depressed and started downloading the episodes as fast as I could.

To give a serious reply, the first anime that comes to mind is Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (I hate the "Rumbling Hearts" name with a passion). No, it didn't make me cry, but it had that general heavy feeling of sadness and depression throughout.


I'm glad that you could enjoy that anime. It was so brutal to sit through for me. I disliked it intently lol


i love it to haha but that's what they call personal opinions ^^ i'm sure you'll have your reason not to like it same way we have to love it ;)

on topic
now allmost done with shigofumi and man it has some depressing parts in it (was expecting SOME drama not this) love it ^^

Saikano for sure. I bawled like a friggin baby.

Next...School Days. It spent so much time helping us get to know the characters and they're feelings...only to screw us in the end. ^_^; I was incredibly depressed for days afterwards.

saikano - truly epic.
i guess, air comes at second and cross game, takes third (though it was only the 1st episode).

Mine would have to be Clannad After Story ( just a continuation of Clannad).
After watching this just the mention of Clannad has me crying like a baby.

( Ya, I'm crying right now )

Clannad AS made me cry.

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien and Welcome to the NHK were THE heaviest anime i've seen. I didn't cry but i was depressed like hell. They're not the sort of anime to make you cry. It's not clannad-like sadness. It's more of the "what the heck is wrong with the world we're lliving" sadness.

Especially the Welcome to NHK left me with a scar. I used to play this mmo-rpg (world of warcraft) and after watching this, whenever i opened the game it felt like my brain was bleeding and so i quit a week after i finished the NHK -.-

probably clannad after story. this anime really made me shed a few tears, and that's really rare for me.
there may be some more depressing animes out there but I don't really watch those kind of animes.

I have seen a lot of depresing anime, and strangely enough, plenty of them are in my favorites. Maybe there's a connection.

10 saddest in order:
Saikano
Elfen Lied
Gunslinger Girl
Air
Kanon
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Haibane Renmei
Welcome to the NHK! (although it was funny at the same time)
Angel Sanctuary
Lucky Star

Others that were just as sad but only at some parts: Naruto, Chrno Crusade, Rozen Maiden, Fullmetal Alchemist(original), Wolf's Rain, Metropolis, X(tv), hack//Sign.

Never seen Grave of the Fireflies, mostly because of it's reputation.

As far as I remember the sad anime's that I've watched so far were Elfen Lied, 5 Centimeters per Second, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gantz and Bible Black.

Here's why:


I think those are the only sad ones that I've watched although I probably forgot a few. I'll add more to the list as I watch more anime.

This.

Once upon a time, I considered Fate/Stay Night to be hugely depressing, but I could probably blame that on the blissful ignorance of young age.

There are only 4 anime moments that i can think of that really got to me.

-Episode 10 of Kanon for somewhat obvious reasons.
-Episode 16 of Clannad
-Grave of the fireflies....just Grave of the Fireflies
-And the odd one out, episode 13 of Angel beats, and honestly that and episode 10 tie.

Clannad would've been so much better if there wasnt all that phantasmagoria crap and supernatural shit..

For me its " Welcome to the NHK!" - the best anime ever, sad and depressing because thats reality and it doesnt have supernatural shit like angel beats or ano hana or what not.

realistic animes > supernatural stuff
lots of music -
