    I've always found Elfen Lied to be pretty depressing.

    Evangelion. Seriously. The guy who made it ended up going mad.

    Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

    I have to agree Your Lie in April is the saddest anime I have seen yet. It was the first anime I seen that made me cry.

    Anohana is about a group of friends who've drifted away and the spirit of the girl whose death still affects them.

    Saikano is about a world under attack from aliens, and a girl turned into a killing machine/cyborg weapon, who still has feelings for the people around her.

    Humans have been almost wiped out by Beasts.The duty of fighting the Beasts fall to Fairies, who are to use their powers to wield Holy Swords. A sole human being named Willem wakes up after several hundred years to continue his fight against the Beasts. I cant really go into much detail about rhe faries because it would be a spoiler. But I can say they are children who know nothing but fighting and are used to fight until they die.
    If it's not very informative sorry im not to good at giving reviews or being to descriptive.

    I've seen a tonne of these. Still, the grand daddy of depressing anime is Now and Then, Here and There.

    A young typical shounen protagonist is transported to another world. Typical adventure fare. However, this world is a dying husk of a world ruled by a cruel tyrant who snaps a cat's neck in a tantrum. Boys are abducted and used as child soldiers, girls are abducted and used as "prizes" for soldiers and breeding. The hero is thrown headlong into this awful, awful world, suffers and in the end
     
    saves nobody and achieves nothing.
