Depressing anime

Texhnolyze is widely regarded as the most depressing anime of all time.

Thing is, it's depressing and visceral the entire way through, no glimpses of happiness beginning or end.

There's honestly VERY few anime like this. I can't even think of one that isn't mentioned here

Gonna second Texhnolyze as well, probably the most depressing anime I have seen

Madoka Magica
Gakkou Gurashi

I found neon genesis to be like this. The begining was serious but still light hearted, gets pretty dark after episode 20 and the movie. You see what it was building up to

I know I don't want to die, and I know I won't ever kill myself, i just kind of like the feeling in a fucked up kind of way.

Madoka is the anime you offer to people who say they want lighthearted magical girl animes like sailor moon and then laugh as you sip your kahlua the next evening because you know they binge-watched that shit and any second now they'll be nearing the greatest upset of their life, one that sets them off on a depressive episode like no other and reconstructs their paradigm on life.

The anime doesn't quite pull it off and ends prematurely but the manga of gakkou garashi slowly gets more and more depressing as you watch people break down
