Depressing Anime Marathon

ef was meh. The anime made it too happy compared to the game. Playing Renji and Chihiro route was the only one that made me sad in the VN.



Saikano has already established a spot on our list for sure.

I think Kanon is better than Air. Air was too short for what it was and did a pretty fail job of actually explaining what happens... At least I had trouble understanding parts of it...



We were thinking of actually doing something like that. Like marathon a different type of anime each day for 3-4 days.
Day 1: Depressing/sad. Day 2: Comedy. Day 3: Bad/terrible (so bad that it's good). Day 4: Most epic.



Let's work hard together and make a good list!

Because nothing says Christmas like the feelings of wanting to hang yourself from a ceiling fixture. Haha

so is this more on "happy depressing" or /wrist depressing?

Wolf's Rain. kinda depressing
Area 88, mainly depressing situation

Ahahaha, I don't think we'll kill ourselves... I hope.



Mmmmmm I don't know actually... Probably a mix of both.
We'll take a look at those two. I think I've seen some of Wolf's Rain before but I don't remember...

Hoshi no Koe was kinda depressing.

.Hack//Sign was tragedy and mystery.

Noir was always a bit mixed, but it does follow its own namesake after the genre it was named after.

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade had some fucktastic depressing moments.

Wile it is mostly action, Canaan does have its fill of tragedy.

Shifogumi is a weird one, but it does fit as depressing in some ways.

Same with Jigoku Shoujo.

Theres more, but I can;t remember haha.

duh.

School days is SEXY as hell... What y'all talking about?

Watch Perfect Blue and Akira. TetsuoOoOoOoOoOo

o__O

Shuffle. I cried on the last episode...only time I ever cried watchin anime lol

Elfen Lied
Serial Experiments Lain
Minami-ke

Air, Sola, H20, The Time of Eve.

Don't watch Myself;Yourself, that anime is horse shit. And Elfen Lied isn't really a "depressing" anime either. And School Days is more like a loldoesn'tmakesense anime than a depressing one. Tokyo Magnitude is pretty bad as well, I'd advise you stay off of it.

Do watch all of the others on your list though, and add Koi Kaze to it. Then watch Honey&Clover, both seasons. Then, if you've finished all of those and then still want to bawwwwwwwwww some more, watch Blassreiter.

Check back here when you've finished them all, kay?



What are you smoking yo? Since when is Minami-ke even remotely sad?

lulz happy sad complex much??

and how is lain depressing? i get the mood is depressing but its more like mystery mindfuck.

oh that reminds me

haibane raimei you should watch too.

Most of those aren't outright sad enough. Voices of a Distant Star and Jin-Roh are likely ones that we'll watch. .Hack, Noir, Canaan, Shigofumi and Jigoku Shoujo wont cut it unfortunately.



How was that even sad?



We are considering Air and Sola. H20 already has a solid spot on our list. Or not. Time of Eve is kind of dystopic but not enough so to bring me to tears or feel bad.





My friends and I were discussing and Myself;Yourself, Elfen Lied and Schooldays are cut from the list for sure. Tokyo Magnitude didn't even get considered.
Not watching Honey&Clover for sure cause it's too long, doubt we're gonna watch Blassreiter either, though I would like to. I'll have to look into Koi Kaze.



I saw it not too long ago and it definitely has that sad mood, but not really depressing.


I'll edit the list on my opening post soon... Hopefully. Done.

Have you considered type-moon stuff? Though I don't like the anime versions Tsukihime/Fate are still pretty depressing. Also Kara no Kyoukai: Paradox Spiral was somewhat sad.

But as long as you have Grave of the Fireflies this marathon will be a success.

Neither Tsukihime nor Fate/Stay Night are sad. Yes they have their sad bits, but not depressing enough, especially the anime versions. The visual novels go much further in depth but still don't reach the level of depressing.
Kara no Kyoukai is one of my favourite anime. Ever. It's made of so much awesome that it's not sad.
And yes Grave of the Fireflies pretty much defines depressing.

Clannad should only be watched alone or with the love of your life.

The last half is the biggest downer part, excellent overall, but the last half is where it REALLY hits home.

Will you kindly step away of the internets, sir.

Why does everyone say Shuffle is sad?
