    Most depressing anime you've ever seen

    Well, I like this topic, it's on many boards, and I've learned of some great anime and have quite the varied responses on this topic, and by depressing I mean it makes you cry or get teary eyed (or at least a lurching feeling in your gut)

    My list (in no particular order):

    End of Evangelion (one of the most ****ed up, psychological, yet beautiful anime movies, if not the most ever, but after watching it 4 times, I realized how much of a masterpiece it was, it deserved the academy!)
    Elfen Lied
    Rumbling Hearts
    Air (only cause' of the ending)
    Chrono Crusade (ending only)
    Now and then here and there
    Grave of the Fireflies
    Saikano (probably number 1 most depressing)
    X (maybe)
    Blood+
    Cowboy Bebop (ending)
    FMA (definitely had it's moments)

    opinions??

    It's getting better all the time
    I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
    The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)
    You're holding me down (Oh Oh)
    Turning me round (Oh Oh)
    Filling me up with your rules (Oooh)

    Chrono Crusade's ending was indeed touching, can't remember any really "depressing" animu I haven't watched too many series through anyhow.

    Oh wait, if I remember correctly Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was quite depressing overall.

      Funny how the only one I've seen in this is Chrno Crusade. You're right, it got depressing as it went on, although I think it got depressing a little before the ending.

      I don't think I've watched even a moment of the others. Oh, except Evangelion. I watched episode 1.

          Hmm...Witchblade, Eureka seveN, Speed Grapher, COWBOY BEBOP, BLOOD+....pretty much any anime that ends with a person saying like one word, then it pans upward while playing the ending theme, and finally it goes black and says "Fin".

            Yeah, FullMetal really did have its moments.
            But its ending had no real conclusion...

            Cowboy Bebop on the other hand was depressing.

            I felt like crying cause Spike had died for the last time. How sad...

              Loveless..
              Not depressing as in crying, but depressing as in there weren't too many happy moments in it -.-
              And I agree with the ending of Evangelion..*sniffle*

                        In gantz, every single character that you end up liking dies a very horribly death in order. Then at the end everyone is dead and its over.
