now and then, here and there....the one part where sara dies when she tries to shoot tabool (the 12 year old who killed him)  but then buu (6 year kid) jumps in the way and gets killed... then tabool kills sara T_T then there's the rest of the Anime...most depressing for me

my comp is in repair so i that's the reason i haven't been on the internet recently D= for the last week to be exact

Answer 12

I going to go with the unoriginal answer and say Grave of the Fireflies... other than that anime I would say Wolf Rain and Blassreiter

Chrono Crusade, Air, and Elfen Lied was also depressing

Answer 13

I agree with Aka Yoru 5 Centimeters per second was just a real tear wench er it was just done so well philosophically and the saddest part is how common and true it is.

Answer 14

chrno crusade!!! i cant believe it ended like that!!!

oh and

Kyoshiro to towa no sora one of the main characters died i was really mad but eventually i got over it

Answer 15

I don't think anyone mentioned Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.  That anime is incredibly gloomy and depressing.  But L dieing in death note did literally put me in a depression for a week(nightmares included) so i can't say for sure.  

Answer 16

Hi !

The most un-nerving and depressing was , for me , Tehxnolyze because the protagonist Ichise died alone in a destroyed world . An end fit for a Greek hero in tragedy .

There was a pull-back shot emphasizing his loneliness and desolation - I was , and remain , affected .

:0)

Answer 17

A tie between Death Note and Elfen Lied. The endings, went terrible, but in the right conclusion, but definitely depressing.

Answer 18

On the Matrix cartoon the Animatrix, there was a couple of shorts that were REALLY depressing.

Answer 19

The only anime that has made me cry was AIR. That was so sad. I hate it when the main character dies!

Answer 20

definitely fruits basket. at first it's really funny, and then at the sixth volume the story changes.I read the manga and I actually cried at the last volume. almost all of the parents are abusive or dead, and the person who's in charge of the jyuunishi is really mean.

Answer 21

Grave of the fireflies anime movie is the most depressing
