I was pleasantly surprised by the above list since a lot of lists tend to contain anime that people deem "manly", in other words ones with a lot of fighting. This list though has a very good balance of action, comedy, romance, adventure, horror and pretty much all genres anime tend to cover and those are some great titles.

Then of course there is school days. Oh god the horror, the trauma. I wouldn't have put it there just because I wouldn't want a fellow human being to suffer through what I suffered. It has been over 8 years that I watched School Days and the horror does not fade. THE ENDING ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!

I don't know why people always complain about the ending. The whole anime in its length was a torture trip(in a good way). The ending was just the logical conclusion. I found the ending to be rather relieving after all the suffering. A quick death is always preferable to years of mental torture.

School Days will always be a master piece of psychological drama but for some reason people only remember it for the gory ending that wasn't even nearly as cruel and graphic as the rest of the story.

No no you got me all wrong. The ENTIRE thing was just painful as I said in my post but I only pointed out that the ending was haunting because (SPOILER TERRITORY):

 

 

It wasn't Makoto's death that bothered me. The dude deserved a much more painful death. It was more whether Sekai was actually pregnant or not that just left me scratching my head in just utter shock. Plus it was also Kotonoha's transformation from such a lovely innocent girl into what she became in the end. That boat scene I will never forget. But yes I absolutely agree the whole anime itself, every part of it was just me sitting there banging my head against the wall as the protagonist made every possible wrong choice after another.

That being said I think I remember watching another psychological anime at the time which wasn't so bad called Myself Yourself. It had similar School Days sort of vibe and design but not so bad. That had a much nicer ending though.
