I'm hunting for shows that contain depressed, lonely, suicidal characters. So far I've thought of Serial Experiments Lain in the first half. Any recommendations?

2 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-07 03:29 ID:YL1Q0dtG

Lain does not contain depressed, lonely, or suicidal characters.

>>2 Either you've never seen Lain or didn't pay much attention to it.

Try Wellcome to the NHK!, they have a great assortment of the exact type of characters that you are looking for,...

If you prefer a more sugarcoated approach to such themes, try Haibane Renmei.

Paranoia Agent, just WOW. Full of depressed, multipersonality,suicidal,Angst,Sexual (pedo too) persons. it's a goddamn masterpiece.

I've seen both, unfortunately. Thank you very much nevertheless.

7 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-07 04:09 ID:mEN2HWrl

Oops, I meant I've seen NHK and Haibane.

Paranoia Agent I have yet to watch. I'll download it though, thank you.

I agree with OP in >>3. I suggest Saikano.

Thought about that, but they are not lonely, and not very suicidal either,...

lain won't make sense teh first time through so make sure you give it a 2nd watching.

Also, Paranoia Agent was really good, I'mma 2nd that suggestion.

See, they commit suicide because they're crazy, not because they're depressed!

16 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-08 06:52 ID:Heaven

>>15
Technically, they're still suicidal characters.

17 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-08 10:37 ID:mEN2HWrl

Not to mention the entire story revolves around an unsuspected suicide of a classmate.

18 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-09 06:02 ID:cahgxM2l

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei?

I'm surprised this thread got this far without a Haruhi comment.

I was going to say it but decided not to,

Ditto. It's more of a tact thing and less of a wit thing, methinks.

On a more related note however, Now and Then, Here and There has a rather depressed supporting character or two. The main character is all burning spirit style though, so I'm not sure how well it fits. Thought I'd mention it anyway.

>>21
I was going to say it as well. >_>

23 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-11 18:30 ID:tdrlgvUk

Lain was depressing in the end though, not in the beginning...

The beginning... Err, well, maybe more everything up until the very end, just didn't make sense and sorta set up for the end.
