Does anyone know any emotional, angsty, and/or tragic anime?

I'm looking for a new anime series to get into. I really like anything emotional and sad - Saikano was great. Angst, jealousy and hatred is a big attraction as well.

Perhaps an anime where you begin to sympathize with the main character, only to watch his or her life fall apart. Or anything close. If there is romance in the plot, that is even better.

Minimum comedy would be great. None would be even better. I prefer anime about children, teenagers or young adults as apposed to an all adult cast. However, that isn't a must.

If you recommend any, a link to a review and/or plot summery would be really appreciated. If you know of any good AMVs for the anime, that would be good too.

Please don't suggest the following, as I've either already seen them.

Saikano

NANA

Kanon

Shuffle!

Loveless

Gravitation

No Money

School Days

Grave of the fireflies

Death Note

Ouran High School Host Club

Special A

Vampire Knight

Tsubasa Chronicles

Sikusho

Haibane Renmei

Elfen Lied

Tokyo Majin

Card Captor Sakura

Steel Angel Kurimi

Gravitation

Tokyo Moonphase

Hack://SIgn

Perfect Girl Evolution

Winter Cicada

Full Metal Alchemist

D.Gray-man

Gauken Heaven

Ah! My Goddess

R.O.D -the TV-

Fate/Stay Night

Fruits Basket

Witch Hunter Robin

Rozen Maiden

Spice and Wolf

I can't think of anymore right now, but I might edit some in later.

Thanks!

  1. I defenitely recommend H2O Footprints in the Sand!

    You said you wanted to see the character's life fall apart? Perfect!

    Its also sad. There's angst, hatred, jealousy and my favorite, vengence! Though not as much as I really like it.

    But in all, it's desperate!  


  2. INUYASHA! There's a lot of action. Love triangles and normal love relationships and an amazing story line. It's about the feudal era of Japan. Not so modern. But amazing!

  3. Code Geass its kind like death note


  4. Bokura Ga Ita

    also drama romance and this is still ongoing season 1 is done and season 2 is in october 6th


  5. X (movie or OVA/series) = The main character Kamui is always filled with angst. The anime has a tragic ending, especially the movie.

    Kite (has a bit adult theme) = the girl waited all her life to kill the one who controls her. (nice action sequences on this one)

    Magic Knight Rayearth (First Season) = an emotional first season ending.

    Trigun = mostly action but towards the end comes the bitter and tragic truth.

    Jin Roh = a classic action film from the director of Ghost in the Shell. It has a slight romantic side but the end is a puzzling tragedy.

    Wolf's Rain = wolves (transmuting to human forms) in seek of their lost paradise.

    Gungrave = childhood friends, one betrays their friendship, one dies but lives again to exact revenge, or is it.

  6. rumbling hearts, a real kick in the nuts anime

  7. Try Clannad.

  8. blood sucker - legend of zipangu

  9. OMG definatly inuyasha i didnt see it there so...yea but its amazing

    here is te summary

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290223/plot...

  10. Both Code Geass and Code Geass r2 are both really emotional,

    H2O ~footprints in the sand~

    Dazzle (Hatenkou Yugi) is really good but there is a bit of comedy in it

    the manga is better than the anime though

    Goong the art is a little odd but its really good (only manga)

    Mars is exactly what you're looking for but its only a manga

    xxxHolic is connected to tsubasa resevoir chronicle and its really emotional
