Iriya no Sora, was for me. So short yet it is the only anime I can still think of and remember to this day (Atfer a few years) that still has an emotional impact on me. I can watch it over and over knowing whats going to happen, and still feel totally depressed/sad after ;.;.
Also Rahxephon also was pretty sad. |

AIR, without a doubt. Also, Azumanga Daioh. The series itself wasn't sad, but I baw'd like crazy at the very last episode. It's unbelievable.
A few years ago I would have said SaiKano, but looking back, I thought that series was trying way too hard to be depressing. Utter hopelessness and end-of-the-world scenarios really don't affect me, whereas bittersweet themes with a glimmer of hope such as those found in AIR do. Oh well. |

And the depression level of Clannad pales in comparison to other Key adaptations (yes, even the movie), let alone a lot of the other stuff in this thread. Last edited by qtipbrit; 2008-05-20 at 23:41. |

Air was sad not just because of what happened, but the whole setup for that last sequence made it pretty powerful. All the mom/daughter development in the last few episodes, the heart-wrenchingly sweet way in which Mizuzu approached everything, the powerful flashbacks, and of course the haunting Aozora song. Just thinking about it gets me choked up. Spoiler for *sniff*:
