I've got the blues
 

Howdy,

I just got done watching Elfen Lied and was pretty bowled over by the mood, can anyone recommend anything just as melancholic?

Saikano, Noein and Rahxephon

Bakeneko and its sequel Mononoke
Mouryou no Hako
Aoi Bungaku
House of Five Leaves
Some episodes of Bartender
Monster

Berserk
Claymore
Jigoku Shoujo
Jyu Oh Sei

Oh, and a special mention - Grave of the Fireflies

5 Centimeters Per Second, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Kowarekake no Orgel.

I second Madoka Magica. Will recommend Angel Beats! as well.

Thirding Madoka Magica. Don't let the first two episodes fool you, it's full of despair.

Also try Ano Hana and don't forget the tissues.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, these all look interesting. Except Claymore, definitely the worst anime I've sat and watched. I started Noein before I posted this thread but it's a bit hit or miss. If anyone has any others.
