is sola depressing? and more

[lemondude]

is it?

also, any new ones that are not depressing?

[Radiosity]

Depends what you define as depressing. But personally I would say it's not depressing in the slightest. It's certainly one of the best airing this season, and it has it's fair share of laughs as well as tears, but nothing actually depressing (if by depressing you mean SaiKano style, definitely not).

[DarkT]

I've seen ~4 episodes, and while I think it could take a turn to the more "dramatic" - atm it's just a nice anime...

[Asai]

I don't think Sola is depressing. It's certainly not your average romance or school kids story, but it's not depressing.

As for new ones that aren't... new what, series currently airing? Why don't you just go to the main page and take a look at any series listed there, for a wild stab?

Without any sort of preferences or further information for what you're looking for, it's hard to make suggestions.

[Deathkillz]

sola isnt depressing as such...like the others have said its more dramatic

well if you like romance/comedy check out Seto No Hanayome (still airing) :3

[marinne14]

somwsaid its drama with comedy???

[Radiosity]

First 5 or so eps focus on comedy with some foreshadowing, then it starts getting pretty serious. But not depressing, far from it.

[Vexx]

Its serious... people are in lethal situations. Romance might fail tragically.

I guess it depends on what depresses you. If you're looking for light romance from start to finish, it may not suit you.

Surprisingly, for a story written by an author who has worked on Projects by Key, it isn't really that depressing. It's been a huge surprise for me, the biggest in a while and I'm honestly quite enjoying its complex web of character interactions. I said earlier this season I could see the ending coming from a mile away and how it was all going to play out, but I'm glad to say I couldn't have been more wrong.

For Spoilers in that these are things shown to actually not have happened, thus possibly revealing what did happen thus far:

Spoiler:

For example I had Aono dying of some sickness in the hospital bed (I was all but certain this would happen), Matsuri getting stabbed to death by Richter Belmont there (Pretty sure this was going to happen), Maria Renard there defaulting on her Yakumo powers somehow (A possibility I entertained), Mana getting killed in a car accident (It happens a lot in Key stories), Koyori taking a header off a bridge (You never know, but honestly not likely) and Matsuri ultimately walking out into the sun and dissolving for no good reason (This is probably still going to happen, but then again....).

sola is not depressing... judging by Air or Kanon's standards...

[lemondude]

I want to kill all of you who said sola isn't sad. Misleading me into misery land.

[Cyz]

Well, sola isn't depressing IMO. It has some sad parts but I don't think it fits to the category of being depressing. AIR and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, now those 2 are really depressing big time. So if you want to drown yourself to sorrow, I recommend those 2. But if you prefer not, then I'm sure there were tons of animes that are lively and happy-go-lucky out there.

[lemondude]

for the record I seen those two which is why I don't want to see anything like that ever again.

But seriously though I see a sad ending coming up

[Vexx]

Well, next time you'll know to listen to me

[Areguzanda]

I think Sola is one of the best Anime's in a long time.
but it really is not as heart breaking as Air and such...
(but we'll se when the last episode is out next week)

though I myself don't mind shedding some tears if the Anime is sad. I just feel alot better after the tears have droppet.
everyone needs to cry sometimes. it's good for you

[lemondude]

wow, from your avi I assume you're a guy. And where were you when the man in the white shirt announced the unwritten rules of being a man.

The first one is no crying!

[KholdStare]

Well it's shocking, but one sad scene doesn't make an anime depressing.

[OceanBlue]

[Not on topic]
Haha, I thought you typed "And where were you when the man in the white skirt announced the unwritten rules of being a man."

And I was busy contemplating gender equality, thank you for asking [even if you didn't ask me] ^__^.

[On topic]
It's not... depressing, I'd say. It doesn't go that far.
It's sad sometimes, in a way, but I'd say that just boosts its appeal.

[Pendevous]

Coming from the same writer of Air and Kanon, this is the least depressing among them.

[orion]

Sheep's Song and Saikano got this title beaten hands down in the depressing department imo.

If you're thinking about adding magical girl titles to your list, then you might want to check out Kamichama Karin.
