texhnolyze and Now and Then, Here and there are my usual recommendations.

>>310045
Thanks
It seems the cutoff point is 2010
Is there any more after 10' or is everything releasing now just your standard moe stuff?

Madoka Magica as a prevalent theme with nihilism. It's Sailor Moon if everyone suffered horrible ends.

>Victory Gundam

Person who made this chart knew what he was doing.

A lot of people complain about Tomino shows having poor pacing, but it worked really well with this particular show because there were so many instances where I thought things would steadily be improving before another team member dies a miserable death or Zanscare coming up with a twisted new ploy to make people on earth suffer even more than their last one.

And even if it isn't on the same level of grim as some of his previous shows, Victory's somehow manages to fuck me up even more than them.

neon genesis evangelion + the end of evangelion movie

>And even if it isn't on the same level of grim as some of his previous shows, Victory's somehow manages to fuck me up even more than them.

Failed to mention that I'm talking about the ending in this sentence, since bleak finales are kind of a specialty for Tomino.

I keep hearing this but looking at it doesn't seem like it.
Looks can be deceiving I guess

>Looks can be deceiving I guess

Absolutely, I spent 2 years not really wanting to watch it despite tons of people recommending it to me (my all time favourite is evangelion) because when googling I only saw cute tiny girls and that isn't really my thing.

But it's worth it, trust me.

>Maybe one involving like the end of the world and nothing the protags can do to stop it and accepting their deaths?
Definitely Wolf's Rain.

Not sure if "bleak" but lots of suffering and depression:

Fate/Zero

>>310088
Immensely overrated but if this is what you are looking for it's worth a watch.

>Casshern Sins

Pick one

>>310042
Bokurano. Read the manga too.

>>310406
More like only read the manga. The anime shat all over the story. Good OP though.

>>310325
i didn't really like any fate series other than zero

That's understandable, as Zero is the only actually good one.

Well, except for Carnival Phantasm maybe, if one counts that towards Fate.

And I actually liked Kaleid Liner to some degree because it was cute and lovely but then it's basically produced for pedophiles which kind of drains from one's ability to enjoy it. For me at least.

Loli are lovely and sometimes a little lewd but half of the loli community just wants to exploit them.

Fate/Stay Night is actually pretty good but not as great as Kara no Kyoukai or Tsukihime. Too bad it doesn't have an adaptation that's as good as the original VN

FYI I was assuming that with Fate we don't mean the whole Nasuverse.

I found F/sn to be pretty crappy, which can be traced back to the fact that it's based on an erotic visual novel done pretty much by and for teenagers.

What would be the problem, good sir?
