>Larger picture because I am mentally handicapped.

congratulations! you have graduated from anime
just read the source material (novel & manga) to learn about how author's financial/artistic success hardly changed his overall happiness due to immense psychological problems
hmmm maybe there is a lesson to be learned here about escapism ;)

>>37696474
Hmmmm I'd recommend lain even though it isn't too similar it's just a smart robot anime thing.

School Days is melancholy.

> original

>>37696760
it looks like garbage
this is probably not original

>>37696622
>this
it has a lesson about escapism but is not what everyone thinks.
Escapism is not bad is good in fact even normies use it(alcohol,drugs,cheating,children) so just enjoy your escapism

Mangas cost a lot unless you live in Nip nip and reading them digitally gives me a headache after a while. I might check it out though.

Ideon was the primary inspiration for Evangelion (which everyone and their mother has already watched so I won't bother recommending it here), and is more classic sci-fi and pessimistic. If you liked Eva and don't mind a bit of shitty pacing and janky 70s animation check it out.

>Just finished NHK and looking for more melancholic/deppressing shit I can indulge in. Any reccomendations fellow brobots? I only cried 3 times

Pretty much everything written by Chiaki Konaka is solid, dude's very good at what he does. Lain, Texhnolyze, Birdy the Mighty, Big O, Ghost Hound, a lot of great stuff.

Best cult anime ever.

If you want more real life depressing I got none but Re:Zero is fitting for depressing if you get into it

>>37697793
Re:Zero is awful tripe for retards, LNs need to die

>>37696474
NHK was alright. I didn't like how unrealistic some parts were though.

You should watch LOGH. It has plenty of manly tears, bravery, camaraderie, etc with no moe roasties or other such bullshit.

There's so much subtext about growing up
>Trying to hold onto idealism
>Older people trying to take advantage of you
>Growing apart from friends and family
>People you care about willingly in abusive relationships
>Questioning your values
>And bit about the drowned boy(esp in the movie-verse)

And so on.
