Lookin for anime/manga recommendations

I'm looking for animes (or mangas) that have lots of pain, blood, suffering, and death <3. The main characters must not be ugly and suffer many tragedies, and hopefully die by the end, as martyrs. Blood and gore are not mandatory, but very appreciated But pain and suffering ARE mandatory!
Having happy parts is fine, as long as it ends in tragedy. And it's not necessary for everyone to die, but more deaths are always better The characters who are doing the suffering and dying should be well developed, likable characters who are worth seeing in pain; not worthless characters who you know nothing about, or only know the name of.

Already watched:
School Days, Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied, Higurashi, Umineko (which sucked a lot), 11 eyes (which sucked), Kara no Kyoukai (not particularly good), and Tenjou Tenge.
Non-anime and manga stuff are fine as well, but there's a lot less of what I look for outside of that (from my experience).

Two mangas that pop up in my head that have lots of blood and crap

Not sure about berserk either,[/quote]

Read Berserk. I'll check out Akame ga Kiru.

[quote=Snowed]Samurai Champloo, Deadman Wonderland (gore,blood), Monster, Higurashi no naku koro (lots of blood, very psychological, I would recommend).[/quote]

Seen all of them. Didn't think much of Monster because the main character was boring and middle-aged looking. Loved the other three though.

[quote=BoogerPaste]wtf. so seek some help[/quote]

That's exactly what I'm doing in this thread! And if you mean a different type of help, I'm very flattered .

[quote=lovelyvanity]berserk, jjba! please.[/quote]

Saw a parody of that on Gintama which was funny as hell; I'll probably take a look.

[quote=HolyDragon]Try Code Geass, if its not to your liking skip it.

For mangas, try Ouroboros or Zekkyuu Gakyuu[/quote]

I've heard of Ouroboros, but Zekkyou Gakkyuu looks really interesting!

[quote=Ultr4Band1t]The anime Jormungand is pretty good. Very bloody, dark, twisted, with amazing design and animation. Almost all the characters, major and minor are messed up in the head in some way. My friend showed it to me and I found it simply amazing. Also second season came out yesterday so there's gonna be more episodes[/quote]

That looks interesting as well!

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
