Is there any anime that comes close to being this depressing?
Texhnolyze
Jaxson Campbell
Tyler Lee
GE999
Sebastian Moore
Serial Experiments Lain
Angel's Egg
Kayden Morgan
Victory Gundam and Tetsujin 28-Go (2004) are pretty fucking depressing, too.
Leo Rivera
clannad after story
I'd rather gouge out my eyes than watch depressing shit again
Henry Ortiz
Now and Then, Here and There
Andrew Taylor
Phantom of a Requiem.
The end of Texhnolyze just made me say "Well fuck" but Phantom had me thinking what couldve been for a good week after I finished it.
Zachary Gutierrez
Berserk's pretty rough.
Brandon King
>Angel's Egg
I love the atmosphere of that one. The idea of all the characters wondering alone for so long that they can't remember who they are or what they're looking for. Chasing shadows of what once gave them faith.
It's haunting.

>Phantom of a Requiem.
The last episode was pretty depressing, but I wasn't sure whether it made me sad or angry. the way that the tragedy comes out of nowhere at the last minute and that those responsible get off scot-free.
Adam Fisher
Probably NTHT. I can't think of another anime that's been as hopeless as Texhnolyze without coming off as edgy or laughably grimdark.
Christopher Hill
The middle part of Haibane Renmei was pretty depressing and Kino's Journey the one episode with the machine's meant to replace someone's family had its moments
Daniel Myers
The ending literally broke my spirits and will to live. Had a not watched a comedy right after i may have ended myself that night
Asher Adams
At least it has a happier ending than texhnolyze
Dylan Allen
Why did the surface people stop caring about life? Also, were most of the "people" on the surface ghosts at the time of the series?
Justin Campbell
One Punch Man
It's the one I forced myself to watch when I was having a near death experience.
Wyatt Reyes
Just watched ep 1 of texhnolyze, was tired as fuck. Didn't help that it had like 3 lines of dialogue.
Wasn't sure if I wanted to continue this or watch serial experiments lain.
Josiah Gutierrez
Kuzu no Honkai
Jacob Sanchez
Does my life count as an anime?
Kevin Barnes
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei was depressingly bad
Eli Johnson
Casshern Sins got me pretty bad
Adam Brooks
No, the town was a peak into the abyss of madness and decay.
You should be asking which classical paintings it can be compared to instead.
