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.
I think for Saikano, the manga was better at this department than the anime. The manga ending is open for interpretation, so yeah. (Not sure about the anime. But chances are it was straightforward.)
