I think youve made this arguement numerous times before aswell (ive given it a crack myself) and most reasonable people here thinks this approach to watching shows is good to if not at the least acceptable.
Its just that at times theres a frequent practice of fact stating and pigeonholing going around that tends to make people feel like theres a bunch of dicks around here you know the;
"This is bad because i say its bad and heres my reasons why, if you disagree with me then your just dumb lol" (and they might well be good reasons but its unfair to impose them on people who might enjoy the show for other reasons.)
accompanied by the usual trolling which ofcourse everyone is guilty of doing, and its fine to but at times can get malicious and arrogant which is really really unnecessary.
haha Kanokon. I reckon it beats school days, in the badness but alot more enjoyable.
And the dude who upset KH alot more than me apparantly might have had some preconceived notion while lurking and after mustering the courage to post probably felt like he was being put down. I dont blame him to much even if it wasnt a measured reaction.

So uh, what all exists for emotional rollercoasters / highly depressing?
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is Clannad & Bokurano.
Saikono is pretty heavy on the morbid sadness aswell, closer to Bokurano if you want that kind of tear jerking.
I didnt like E.F and True Tears myself but im in the minority, but that may have been just exhaustion with the genre. Of the otheres that were mentioned Sola is rougly in the same vein as Clannad Air and Kanon. And 5cm/s is probably the best of the lot for me even if its a movie
if you want something a bit more seinen you might go for Kimi ga Nozom Ein, or Honey and Clover.
I think all this stuffs on the rec list to.

I'm watching Kanon, I've seen Air. I haven't heard of most of those, so that will be kind of exciting to get my hands on over break.
I'd add Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
(and I think Rumbling Hearts was sad, but I saw it a really long time ago cause it was like the first anime on Hulu lol)

ef- a tale of memories/melodies (never heard of)
true tears (never heard of)
myself; yourself (never heard of)
kanon (watching)

Not really, although I suppose some things will be lost on you, but its watchable alone. As long as you have a vague knowledge of the UC Timeline, and know who Char was, you should be ok. And by vague knowledge, I mean that a Space Colony group at one point declared their independence as the Principality of Zeon, fought a war against the Earth Federation, and lost. This war was like 18 years before Unicorn fyi. Also that war was really really bloody. And since then, there has been alot of remnants of Zeon trying to do the same thing, and failing those attempts too. All you about Char is he was the masked ace pilot of Zeon who tended to pilot red mobile suits, was a hero to people who are Pro-Zeon, and when MIA in a battle prior to Unicorn (assumed dead, Char's Counter Attack if you are interested).
tl;dr version: All you need to know is that Federation vs Zeon war happened, really bloody, Federation won, Zeon still trying to fight. Char was a zeon ace pilot, and went MIA.

I... actually got pretty sad when I watched Angel Beats!... Don't know if you want to try that.
Tokyo Magnitude I didn't think was a tear jerker but it did make me go NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And since it's about a theoretical situation of what if Japan got hit with an 8.0 earthquake, it's actually pretty relevant to the Japanese earthquake. I actually watched it around that time. =/

OMG SPOILERS!
how will I enjoy the shit animation of 0079 if the plot's been ruined for me already

Can we get a best anime of the season poll? Or can someone link me to a site that has one?

ef and true tears were pretty good. I didn't watch tale of melodies which I believe was the sequel to memories, but memories was pretty good from what I remembered as well. AnoHana is good too. I think School Days falls into the category of emotional roller coaster.

And since it's about a theoretical situation of what if Japan got hit with an 8.0 earthquake, it's actually pretty relevant to the Japanese earthquake. I actually watched it around that time. =/
I believe also that unfortunate coincidence or not the show was based of the premise that the japanese earthquake committee actually predicted the earthquake a while ago in the 80's or 90;s expecting 7.0 above to hit tokyo in the next 50-60 years, perhaps it was more recent I dont remember exactly. Anyway they wanted to depict what it could be like while adding the whole drama story to it. It appears the earthquake came rather quickly sadly (even if it didnt realllyy hit tokyo)so there was no need for the show in that respect :p.
Thats also the reason Japans got that awesome rolling building base tech, many other countries would probably have alot more damage if they hadnt engineered their shit to handle the quake. And it wasnt really the quake that did the major damage it was the Tsunami, which theres no real practical way of stopping as of now.

Tbh, if I enjoy a show and it's entertaining it's doing its job right. It doesn't have to be "intellectual" or anything. I'll watch Kanokon or whatever I feel like if I enjoy it and I don't care what other people think of my taste. If you enjoy something, then enjoy it. ^^ You clearly didn't think hard enough about Lucky Star if it only made you laugh. Lucky Star is a masterpiece that surpasses all genre, all tastes.

Can someone rec me an anime with stunning visuals? hopefully nothing shojo related lol Although it isn't finished yet, Gundam Unicorn is one of the best looking animes out there. Few things even come close. Would I be lost if I haven't seen any of the Gundams shows from the UC timeline? Not really, although I suppose some things will be lost on you, but its watchable alone. As long as you have a vague knowledge of the UC Timeline, and know who Char was, you should be ok. And by vague knowledge, I mean that a Space Colony group at one point declared their independence as the Principality of Zeon, fought a war against the Earth Federation, and lost. This war was like 18 years before Unicorn fyi. Also that war was really really bloody. And since then, there has been alot of remnants of Zeon trying to do the same thing, and failing those attempts too. All you about Char is he was the masked ace pilot of Zeon who tended to pilot red mobile suits, was a hero to people who are Pro-Zeon, and when MIA in a battle prior to Unicorn (assumed dead, Char's Counter Attack if you are interested). tl;dr version: All you need to know is that Federation vs Zeon war happened, really bloody, Federation won, Zeon still trying to fight. Char was a zeon ace pilot, and went MIA.
Ah okay cool. Thanks. I vaguely know Char but I don't know much about the war. I will definitely check it out on my freetime.

Not necessary. It's already common knowledge that C^3 is the best anime of this season. Honorable mentions to Fate/Zero and Gundam AGE.

Hanasaku Iroha clearly the best SoL of its season, and smashed everything else because PA works is the best studio in the world. Kinda unfortunate that nothing else this year could compete.

So uh, what all exists for emotional rollercoasters / highly depressing?
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is Clannad & Bokurano. Saikono is pretty heavy on the morbid sadness aswell, closer to Bokurano if you want that kind of tear jerking. I didnt like E.F and True Tears myself but im in the minority, but that may have been just exhaustion with the genre. Of the otheres that were mentioned Sola is rougly in the same vein as Clannad Air and Kanon. And 5cm/s is probably the best of the lot for me even if its a movie I didn't really find Sola to be all that depressing. It's a sad story, I liked it, but I'm looking for more. So far this is my list from you guys: Clannad (watched) Bokurano (watched) Madoka (watched) ef- a tale of memories/melodies (never heard of) true tears (never heard of) myself; yourself (never heard of) kanon (watching) air (watched) 5cm (to do list) Anohana (to do list) School Days (never heard of it outside of being this thread's troll anime) Grave of the Fireflies (to do list) Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (to do list) Saikano (never heard of it) Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (never heard of) Honey and Clover (never heard of)
Why do you guys recommend this, trolls. Depressing anime? more like forced sentimental keyshit (most of it). Watch Ningen Shikaku and compare...

isnt that one of the parts of aoi bungaku ?
yea I guess those stories were pretty depressing (the demon chick who marries the savage dude was a pretty lousy story though, didnt go well with the rest of the parts in the series.. was pretty good series overall. Better than the "keyshit" admittedly.

it's cause Nana Mizuki voiced her D:
I think there's a pretty big difference between something depressing and something that's an "emotional rollercoaster." Key goes for emotional stuff but yeah I wouldn't call it depressing.
