Emotionally Sad Animes
Lately i've been into emotionally sad animes. After watching Clannad After Story, i've seem to want more of them. Can anyone suggest any for me?
I don't really care for genre, i like any. The sadness makes my heart leap ~Aoie ^^

Graveyard of the Fireflies. Even more than two decades it's still a powerful tearjerker.

In b4 Saikano and Elfen Lied.
lol, you sound like me. Anyway, hard seconds for Grave of the Fireflies and Now and Then, Here and There. Also recommending Hanbun no Tsuki Ga Noboru Sora and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Both series severely depleted my Kleenex supply. If you want something longer + bucketloads of melancholy, you could try Blood + or Full Moon Wo Sagashite. And I'm going to suggest Toward the Terra too, just to be obscure and cool and because it's incredible. I cried more watching that one than any other anime I've seen. So damn depressing. |

Now and Then Here and There, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, and Saikano are all good suggestions. Saikano, being the saddest thing I've ever seen, is what I recommend.
Grave of the Fireflies didn't really get to me that much. But that's probably just me. blue skies: I think I'll take up your suggestion of Toward the Terra. Seems like it got good reviews. |

Hard second for Now and There, Here and There. Add to that, Texhnolyze and Haibane Renmei; Texhnolyze and NTHT for their sheer brutality that never fails to make me weep and Haibane for its melancholy tone and mature tackling of forgiveness and acceptance.

- AIR - strange, but very sad and a little depressing anime
- Kanon 2006 - my favourite anime of all time, happyness mixed with sadness and a magical atmosphere - Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - more depressing than sad, but still quite nice - Ef- a tale of memories & Ef- a tale of melodies - one of my favourite series, sad, painful, but great - Gankutsuou - the story based on "The count of Monte Cristo", mainly about revenge and friendship, has many emotional moments - Grave of the Fireflies - one of the saddest movies I've ever seen |

funny you mention ef since it's like the most uplifting drama ever...
I wanted to respond to recs of Texhnolyze - the show is depressing but it is also insanely hard to watch. The slowest, most grinding, pretentious anime around, so if you go for it, be prepared. The show makes a point to have no reward for those who actually stick around through it. |
