Shiki.
I thought I knew what a sad/depressing anime was until I saw this show. I'm not going to spoil anything, but there is no "good" in this show, only death and sorrow. It takes every little bit of hope that may have built up early through and just shatters it in your face to the end. It really makes you look at humanity in a different way.
Unlike most anime, there is no black and white mentality where good triumphs over evil, or even evil triumphs over good. The best I can describe it is like war. Everyone is a loser. Not to mention that it has a beautifully tragic soundtrack that fits so well into the animation, the overall atmosphere just screams melancholy.

Bottomline: This anime is sad, depressing, and very painful. If that's what you're looking for, go for it.
