Anime you can't watch in sunny days :P
Why when people decide to vote for anime they're only interested in talking about most funny, or in general best anime series?
Ok, many anime series are funny and some others, even serious ones, have some hilarious parts in them. But let's talk about gloomy anime series, the ones with most desperate and depressing plot, characters and atmosphere. Some of them are very good, even if there are not many bright parts or aspects in them. For example Evangelion is kinda gloomy and macabre.. The whole EVA question is *shivers* oh well... Anyway, I think Lain is the most depressing anime I've ever watched in my life. I can't see happy, calm, funny moments in it. I bet noone can. I must add I liked it, but being honest, I can't watch Lain in any moment of the day or in any day of the year :p |

[COLOR=sky blue]Cowboy Bebop
This anime has as many sad moments as it does funny moments. I like when anime gets serious. It shows the how well the writer is when they do these scenes. They just give off so much emotion.[/COLOR]

I don't watch much anime, but I'd have to say I don't see much of a point in Tenchi Muyo...

Regarding Cowboy Bebop, I think there's some melancholy in it, especially towards the end of the series, but there are also very bright moments during the greatest part of its 26 eps. It has a good way of mixing sad and ironic emotions. |

I'm intrigued by every single anime out there, and it effects me in some way. I prefer the sad ones to the happy ones, due to the fact that sad ones give me an experience and an insight to someone's soul, while the happy ones don't really do anything. When I see a really sad one I feel really bad but after I see it I feel nice, because I'm glad whatever happened didn't happen to me. Oh and I'm watching evangelion right now... so I'm really into it -

the last episode of Cowboy Bebop got to me as well. Nothing toio dramatic or anything, but it was still really depressing.
Right now I'm watching Evangelion and Escaflowne. I'm up to episode 14 on both of them and Evangelion is getting a lot deeper than it was earlier in the series. And I think Escaflowne has got to be one of the coolest animes I've ever seen. My sisters just got the first 4 DVDs of the series last week and I spent hours watching it. And the story is soooo deep and i have to watch the next episode. Just the other day I was watching these Club Escaflowne interviews of the voice actors and mecha deaigners of the series and they couldn't stress enough how realistic and serious they were trying to keep the show. But the animators did make a few notions on how they wanted to put a gundam in a short scene during the battle with Van and the fifteen dragon slayers which I though would have been funny as hell.

Eva definently got under my skin and depressed me. Living in that kind of world would be terrible, and you feel so sorry for every one of the characters.
Berserk is also quite sad, and very horriffic. Serial Experiments Lain and Boogiepop Phantom are like that as well. |

I haven't watched the whole Lain show, but it's more than depressing! I couldn't stop thinking of it for a long period, because it really disturbed me!

Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest animes I've seen, depressing, serious, and downright outrageous (in a funny way). I have the first 3 DVDs of it.
I've seen Lain at the store a few times and I've been considering to get it or not, I think I might pick it up sometime soon. Today I saw Pet Shop of Horrors at Anime Club, the idea of it was stupid but the presentation was good. I also want to get Rih-joh, I saw a commercial for it on Adult Swim, it looks good. |

Depress this...
All the above are grim and/or depressing but no one has mentioned 'Kite'. A story of kids turned into assassins, their morality and sense of self stripped away, etc...oh yeah, this is grim. And the director's cut retains some of the harsher violent sex, making this NOT one to share with-well, anyone, really. I kinda liked it when I rented it a while back, so I bought the DVD Dir. cut. Ooops. The animation is very good, but the story just doesn't put that bounce in your step, know what I mean? Anyway, unless brutality and un-pleasentness are your thing, stick to the mildly depressing Akira, which ends on a high, or Evangelion, which sorta doesn't end...really...I guess...
