| Grave of The Fireflies for sure. |
 |
| 1. Wolf's Rain then Kanon (2006) and Elfen Lied |
| grave of the fireflies seems to hold a record here. I watched it right after a depressing physics final too, thinking it was a happy-ending movie. yeeaah.. not such a great idea. saikano actually has a warning for clinically depressed people not to continue watching it, so that has to say something about the anime. I've never watched/read it tho, for fear of becoming too depressed >.>; |
| Air. *Weeps* Beautiful but horribly sad. |
 |
| I found Air somewhat sad, the whole plot evolves around sad stuff. After Air, the ending of Cowboy Bebop made me feel empty, really empty. Never think I ever have been closer to cry over an anime ending. |
 |
| Just watched the end of Chrno Crusade and hell I shed tears over it... my mom entered the room and then i was like "oh damn i've gotten sleep(lights turned off) , gotta go to the bath wash my face" xD I've forgotten to mention the end of the FMA Movie, quite sad... poor Winry T_T And also the episodes that involved that child-chimera thing =( |
 |
| Kanon 2006. Started thinking it was a cross between Elfen Lied and Melancholy of Haruhi (memory loss and comedy aspects). Found it great, funny but 17 eps in now my previous smile is all but lost and everything i see now is just getting sadder and more depressive. |
     |
| Air of course, I just didn't wanna see the end it was so sad |
| Elfen Lied, AIR, Saikano and some parts of NANA |
| NGE, End of Evangelion and after that Kimi ga nozu no eien... ultimate killer combo, after I've seen those series in this order I did just wanted to die in an accident... |

| School Days never gave me the pit in my stomach that KGNE did. Though it's definitely not over... I'd call it far more frustrating than depressing. But then again, it could be really depressing if you look at it in another way... Which I didn't, so for me personally it's not even on the list D: |
| And since i've just finished it Air was sad too :( |
|
| eflen lied was one of the saddest ive seen both kanon 2006 and air where sad even if the ending was happy |
| grave of the fireflies. air. /cutwrists |
 |
| Air, Elfen Lied, Chrono Crusade (finish) Some parts of FMA and the movie... I can say i never cryed watching anime but i was very close to. In Chrono Crusade was just 2 or 3 more drama minutes... |
| Shuffle X/1999 I MY ME Strawberry Eggs Evangelion The Ending Elfen Lied Chobits :) Fruits Basket. :) |
 |
| School Days depressing? IMO, School Days was unintentially hilarious, especially after ep. 11. The characters' choices/decisions were just so ridiculous and stupid at times, I couldn't take it seriously. Anyway, I've officially cried more times in Kanon 2006 than any other anime (which was more than a third of the series, or about 10 episode). And that's saying a lot because I cry very easily when it comes to sad/depressing works of fiction. Air is also incredibly depressing even though I'm still watching that. |

| probably either Air,Elfen Lied, or School Days that stuff just killz me DX |
     |
| My math homework... Wait, I'm hallucinating, that's not anime... It's still depressing xD I think I've already posted my feelings about KGNE and it's brilliance. So I would like to highlight post a substantially longer post which delves into the depth of such feelings: I don't think I posted about how depressing 5 Centimeters per Second was, excellent anime. I like anime that can make me feel sad for some reason... whether it's induced by happiness (Planetes, Welcome to the NHK) or by sadness (Serial Experiments Lain, Mai Hime to a slight extent, KGNE) or both (I''s Pure, REC) It can be argued that KGNE is sort of for both xD But as I previously stated (might have been in another thread come to think of it...) KGNE is definately above them all. It's also the only one that has actually made me cry. (I cried on the inside for REC, I''s Pure, Fruits Basket and 5 Centimeters per Second xD) In fact I think I'll even scale the sorrow generated by these shows, just to annoy those that dare read my posts: KGNE - 10/10 I''s Pure - 8.5/10 REC - 8/10 5 Centimeters per Second - 8/10 Fruits Basket - 7.5/10 Welcome to the NHK - 7/10 Elfen Lied - 7/10 Planetes - 6.5/10 Mai Hime - 5.5/10 I'm probably missing some there, but no I'm not missing Kanon or Air, they just didn't sadden me for some unknown reason (There was a slight slight amount at the end of Kanon, when I look at As previously implied, the feeling of 'sorrow' I speak of can be instilled by both happiness and sadness. For the record, that's what I think about how I felt about the series aforementioned. |

QFT on everything except for Air since i didn't watch it yet. School Days is really deeply bizarre. |
     |
| NHK was pretty depressing in many ways. Great though |
 |
| Grave of the Fireflies (like everybody else) Pale Cocoon NHK could have made my list if the end went differently. |
| How about Death Note I was really hopeing Light would win in the end. |
 |
| Air TV and Chrono Crusade, I couldn't stop crying and still if I think back at it it's like I'm gonna cry |
| Saikano Air Wolf's Rain |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann Episode 8... :'( |
| Kanon 2006 Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Red Garden (I'm only on ep 5 but it has its moments) And I can see how School Days is depressing. The human relationships in it are portrayed more realistically than in most anime series. |

|
| Chrno Crusade Grave of the Fireflies Wolf's Rain Full Metal Alchemist Chrno Crusade & Wolf' Rain definitly had me near tears |
 |
| ahhh the last episode of azumanga daioh got me tearing cause its my last year in hs too *tear* |
 |

Then I fear what will become of this world if girls are stupid enough to throw themselves on a single guy who's as worthless as trash. Air TV is really depressing... especially the ending. It left such an empty feeling. ;_; |

Indigo said: morningstarx said: And I can see how School Days is depressing. The human relationships in it are portrayed more realistically than in most anime series. Sure [SARCASM] I didn't say all of it was. It's just not a fairy tale romance type of anime, where everything works out well in the end. it's a pretty typical life situation. A guy tries to hook up with lots of girls, cheats, lies and everyone's getting hurt in the process. |
| |
| I honestly can't remember not crying during any episode of Haibane-Renmei. |
| GURREN LAGANN. that shit makes me cry every week :'( |
| ive never watched an anime that made me sad/depressed :\ is that bad? :| |
     |
| I cried at a few anime, but I think I cried the most while watching the last episodes of Air. My tears just didn't stop, I couldn't even see the subs T_T But the most depressing one was Serial Experiments Lain. I'm a really posotive person but just had to shout out the world for 2 days after that ^^' |
 |
| If you've never been emotionally moved by a piece of fiction, you're missing out :( |
| no i havent :| but there are some scenes in some animes that made me want to cry does that count :D |
|
| If you cried you were emotionally moved... Same with laughing, the feeling of excitement. They're emotions put into motion by something. Therefore they count xD |
| ok then well i guess i did get emotionally moved then ^^ |
|
| So far..Elfen Lied. |
 |
| ...Grave of the Fireflies, Saikano (man fuck that shit), and Serial Experiments Lain and many, many episodes of GL |
  |
| Saikano is easily the most depressing work of fiction I've ever seen on ANY medium (books, live-action, anime, etc.). I won't lie, I cried my eyes out at the end of that series. Also about halfway through Kanon (2006) I cried as well. There are a few others that have touched me like that, but those are by far the most memorable. accela -> I may just be spacing out right now, but what's GL? |
