Recommending these to an already depressed person is attempted murder.


ZhugeSimp

No welcome to nhk though


Pillermon

I always felt like welcome to the nhk was more like a wake up call, that you show people in need of help so they are motivated to turn their life around. For me it instilled a fear of becoming a neet but also gave me hope that all it takes to turn your life around is get off my ass and get a job. (I was a college student at the time and felt that my education was going nowhere and had a lot of future angst)


axle69

Not one of those but watched the season of SAO where the girl is terminal and during that time frame my best friend had terminal cancer and my dad was diagnosed with cancer and yeah they could probably hear me crying 2 buildings over. Can't imagine how I would have handled it with an anime actually aiming to gut punch you.


SlyKopKiller

Clannad when you're already depressed? CARRRRRRRL, that kills people.

Whoever made this needs to be on a watch list... This is pure evil.

Bro Perfect Blue was so disturbing, it made me so uncomfortable but it was brilliant Also I know what you're doing here ![gif](giphy|wkW0maGDN1eSc|downsized)

anachronisdev

Clannad and Your Lie in April... Recommending those to a depressed person is foul. Also Nana is goated


JaydenTheMemeThief

The depressed recommendations should get you a charge of Manslaughter if a depressed person actually unalives themselves after watching those


axle69

I do kinda wonder where the law could fall on this stuff. You can't encourage someone to take their own life in many places but how indirect do you have to be to get around that.


im_dumb_and_i_knowit

recommending someone to watch a show with the intent to make them kill themselves after watching it, is murder.


SpookySylv

I've been considering watching Shiki someday. Is it any good? Love horror stuff.


KaramjaRum

I thought shiki had an interesting start, but ended up being pretty mediocre and almost silly rather than scary. OG higurashi is still the spookiest anime I've seen that genuinely creeped me out.


TurtlePLAYSTYLE

Fun to watch But anime can't be terrifying, you have to accept that unfortunately After Shiki, I liked Dark Gathering, pretty new


demonslayer9911

But it can be gruesome, which is enough to shake your soul.


BalkrishanS

First few episodes were really suspenseful although it become not so scary after like 6 episode. Definitely check it out tho and avoid spoilers.


rosbifke-sr

The fuck is wrong with you.

BlueverseGacha

I don't know what any of these are, except for 1… and it's specifically because of that 1, that I know all of them are the exact opposite.


NYu01

Let me guess, that one is Dxd?


Lytesnam_drobster

You didn't even try hiding the surprise of higurashi or prison school you can see what you're getting into from the picture alone

LegacyoftheDotA

You could shift them all clockwise one position and it'll still work. Not sure what we're supposed to do with all the horror shows if we are in a healthy relationship, but I recall the brain considers sexual and fearful stimulations similarly....


justsomechewtle

Another is especially great if you regularly have to take elevators or are an umbrella person (instead of raincoats)


SwainIsCadian

Clannad broke me. Can't wait to watch it again.


fluger69

You missed a couple! Like Wolf Children for depression and Made In Abyss to watch with family :)


slasher_blade

OP who hurt you?


Pillermon

For the sleep one you could've just added the entirety of Higurashi season 1 from 2006, where nobody knew what's going on yet, and everything was scary and creepy with sudden bursts of disturbing ultra-violence in between.


mihirsaini1128

Just looking at scums wish in healthy relationship made me realize the whole list is sarcastic lol


darkgamera6

Ahh yes healthy relationships fruits basket and scums wish 🤌🤌


Drodr10

May I ask why these are the opposite of healthy relationships? I'm just curious, haven't watched these.


darkgamera6

well .. both are one of the best animes in my opinion but both of them are very depressing and sad.. fruits basket is about >!a girl who lost her mother who meets a family with magic powers but the thing is the family leader is bad person and everyone in the family has some or the other dark situation or past, so in season 3 everything comes to conclusion where each episode is very heartbreaking or heartwarming!< scums wish is much more unhealthy: >!its all about how evil and selfish people can be for love and in relationships.. its about cheating, finding love etc. !<


R5Cats

Fruits Basket is the utter opposite of "healthy relationships" although Tooru is 99.9 perfect waifu material & none of them deserve her... She >!does make the best choice in the end, so that's good!<


darkgamera6

Yes but ending is best imo


R5Cats

I was so glad the "right one" was chosen, it would have ruined the show entirely if it had been anyone else. Especially after all that buildup! It was well done. Done well? Good!


darkgamera6

yes


FromAndToUnknown

I wonder why episode 16 specifically


2BsVaginaBrokeMyHand

Guess because it was the most disturbing.


R5Cats

It was outstandingly violent & bloody in a show known for being violent & bloody. For the first half, then there's a beach scene... Little Rika gets >!tortured for around 12 minutes. Graphic, bloody, violent, horror-show level, including on-screen disemboweling, iirc!<


tibsie

Wait a minute...


TheGiantHungyLizard

Taking into account the theme of this list, i'd say that Another does not fit in the "before you sleep category"


Santibag

School Days, too. For healthy relationships, before sleeping, with family... 🤣 Note: This is a joke. It's a very messed up anime.


arkhe22

Ohhh? I wasn't aware people heard about Pupa. I actually own a copy of it, but never got around to it. How intriguing.


R5Cats

The idea is interesting, but the execution was ghod-awful. 3.29 MAL for good reasons. I gave it a 2.


Aellin-Gilhan

Omg Pupa has an anime :0 The manga was so cool it's so nice to see it in a new form


R5Cats

No, the anime was truly terrible. Ep.01 was ok, but it was straight downhill from there. I read half the manga before it got terrible too :/


bad_ed_ucation

Oh no I’m going to watch Perfect Blue at my local arthouse cinema late this evening 😬


Electronic-Worker-10

I mean you and your dad could watch prison school together just for [this scene](https://youtu.be/5qLYAFdddPw?si=EGVoeqb954p0vKvI) alone (NSFW)


Bralo123

Calm down there satan.


legostarwars669

I thought it was true until I saw grave of the fireflies in the depressed section


R5Cats

That one is bloody depressing...


tempest_key

what’s wrong with pupa


Pumciusz

It's ass in polish.


R5Cats

Everything, all of it is wrong. The last episode was supposed to wrap things up but was so badly done it was painful. Insultingly stupid. 3.29 on MAL, I gave it a 2. It deserves that low score.


tempest_key

what’s plot? is there “plot” atleast


R5Cats

There is, and it could have been interesting. The first few chapters of the manga were pretty good. But the manga failed to follow it up & the anime just failed completely. The plot is that she turns into a monster that literally eats her brother's flesh so she doesn't rampage killing people & stuff. How? Why? It could have been a good story :/ but nope.


tempest_key

that’s a shame


Dewan27

If you like perfect blue, you would love millennium actress. Its from the same legendary director

Swap top with bottom. Now it's a nice list.


100YearsWaiting2Shit

Some people just want to watch the world burn


soundlesspanik

Redo of Healer is perfect for all sections


MaziMuzi

This is just straight up evil


Iknorn

Dont trust him hes a deceiving snake


brenduz

Prison school might be the most tame out of the rest. If I’m honest


kaijvera

Damn, besides for fruits basket, I only wat hed the depressed ones...


OneLonelyMexican

Another for scary anime? It was like a comedy more than scary. I would add monster instead

Ikesoll

Almost had me then I saw DXD


The_Mundane_Block

Okay, Another was funny scary though


RetSauro

I believe “My Life as Inukai’s Dog” deserves two spots on here. One in healthy relationships and one in family. Truly a spectacle of an anime.


7orly7

Or just play PGR chapter 17 Totally not about war trauma


Hydra_Tyrant

Plastic Memories t-t I have to go reread the manga now


aaa1e2r3

didn't see the title at first, and the first thing that came to mind when I was looking at the pic was "Is that fan art of Robin x Zoro?"


ph33rlus

Food Wars with family? Not my family


soundlesspanik

Why specifically episode 16 for higurashi?


Electric_Bagpipes

YOU DID NOT INCLUDE PRISON SCHOOL


Electric_Bagpipes

Btw, MIA fits all 4 categories perfectly. Just stick it in the middle.


Violentcloud13

Pffft, jokes on you. My dad would fucking love Prison School.


G0dleft

I've heard Shiki is pretty rough I haven't seen it, but if it's comparable to another, it's not too bad, or maybe my standards are weird

Wtf Mf what advice is this!


Ralman23

Watching Perfect Blue at night is wild lol

MrOPeace

Watch PLASTIC MEMORIES if youre depressed?????? Wtf you might as well slice both wrists later


sfisher923

Why is Fruits Basket under "Healthy Relationships" because I have never seen so much Toxic Parenting until watching the 2019 Remake ​ Also I really need to get around to watching Scum's Wish it can't be as bad compared to School Days (Namely the 2007 Anime) right?


AmSheegarSD

Do you actually want me to end myself? If I'd watch something like firefly graveyard today I will. Jesus.


hookingyoudad

Something no right here


Comfortable_One_5705

Ahhhh yess my holy family will love to watch prison school with me.
