a anime girl crying

25. Shirahoshi "Mermaid Princess" (One Piece)

Shirahoshi “Mermaid Princess” is from the anime-series One Piece. She’s a giant smelt-whiting mermaid and often called a ‘crybaby’ by the other characters.

24. Tomoko Kuroki (Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui)

Tomoko Kuroki is the awkward, introverted main character of her own series. In this anime, we follow her desperate attempts to try to be more popular at her school and how despite her efforts, she continuously fails. The poor girl looks so miserable with those tired bags under eyes! Even her daydreams go wrong!

22. Mamimi Samejima (FLCL)

I personally don’t like this character much, due to the way she uses her ex-boyfriend’s brother and her pets as a replacement for that very ex-boyfriend. Mamimi Samejima is a high-school absentee and Tasuku Nandaba’s ex-girlfriend. She looks and acts sad all the time, she also spends most of her time loitering under Mabase’s largest bridge.

21. Yukari Yukino (Kimi no Na wa)

Yukari Yukino is the main female character from The Garden of Words. And she suffers a curse. Oh, the terrible curse of beauty! Now, I know it may sound silly but I assure it’s not. Many girls in this modern day of ours wish to be seen as beautiful and unfortunately, we can’t always get what we want.

20. Iwakura Lain (Serial Experiment Lain)

Iwakura Lain is a fourteen-year-old girl and the series is about her introduction to the Wired and how it drastically changes her life. She’s quite lonely due to her limited interactions with other people and her unaffectionate family members. Iwakura latches onto anyone who gives her the slightest bit of love and affection.

18. Yuki Nagato (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

Yuki Nagato is a hominoid AI system created by the Data Overmind. She’s also one of the main characters of the Haruhi Suzumiya. Although she doesn’t classify as a real human, she was still designed to appear has one. And she shows signs of depression.

16. Victorique de Blois (Gosick)

Victorique De Blois is a doll-like 15-year-old girl who is studying at Saint Marguerite Academy. The girl has a sharp tongue on her and carries a nihilistic attitude yet despite that she possesses an odd supernatural charisma. She’s lived a sad and isolated life, even with her God-given gifts.
