Are Grave of fireflies and Tokyo godfathers too goofy for people or why were they not mentioned?

Yes I can
This recently just finished Dangan ronpa
Trigun the best anime ever
(But you will have to get through about the first 4 episodes to get into it)
Full metal alchemist though it has a lot of comic relief

After going through a dark streak with anime, some that I can recommend include:

Higurashi no naku koro ni - was mentioned earlier, so I won't go into a lot of detail

Another - not far yet, but I know enough about it to say it is quite unnerving

Attack on Titan - a popular choice, not much else to say except hope you have a strong stomach

Elfen Lied - also mentioned earlier

Deadman Wonderland - lots of blood and insanity, another sickly addicting one

Umineko no naku koro - same type of anime as Higurashi, with a different setting

Mirai Nikki - stalkers who murder one another to become god? Careful with this one.

I know for a fact I only scratched the surface, but hope it helps anyways!

I recommend to watch Attack on Titan. It's full of action and emotional moments, especially for the first episode.

High school of the dead! It is a horror show about zombies.
It is a very serious anime full of action, gore and emotions. It is defiantly one of the best anime i have seen.
But i guess it depends on what kind of anime you like.

If you want a serious anime emotional horror anime, how about Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Its the tragic story of a ghost girl, and yes the ghost girl is a major character.

Serious: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Hellsing

Funny/Weird: FLCL (fooly cooly if you can't find it by FLCL)

I've only seen the first of 6 episodes of FLCL, but I really liked it. FMA:B is fantastic; probably one of my favorite series ever, and Hellsing is also top notch. Crispin Freeman is awesome as Alucard. Both FMA and Hellsing have terrific dubs, so try to find those dubbed

Ok I'm giving you two titles that have girl in them but stay with me on this!

Hell Girl:  This is a serious horror anime where the main character grants death wishes.  She will bring evil souls to hell in the exchange that the wisher will come to hell when they die of natural causes.  I haven't seen the whole anime but from the first DVD I do highly suggest it!

Earth Girl Arjuna:  This is a more artsy anime about a girl learning about the sins of humanity and how to help change the world for the better.  Really serious, not much gore, and quite strange.  I did like it a lot though!  It makes you really think about your daily life!

If you're looking for serious anime you should definitely give Aku no Hana a look, read the manga first!

Seriously, I can't emphasize this enough when it comes to this anime. Most people hate it since they've never read the manga.

Wow this thread told me a lot about you guys. Mainly you don't watch a lot of anime. First suggestion um Attack on titan it is a fantasy world but it takes itself very serious. Also they kill half the cast in the matter of 5 episodes so if you like death watch it. I also have to say Durarara which is a weird series that takes itself serious give it a shot. Last but not least Code Geass. It is a psychological/mech/awesome anime?watch it the first?season is?utterly amazing.?
If your looking for something to make you say wow that was ok and just smile stupidly and feel good about like give GTO a look. For some reason this is like injecting a pain killer into my brain it gives me a kind of stupid high and it made me laugh like no other anime except for steins gate.
And if you want to look them up?for a synopsis of each since I am too lazy to?type one myself here is a link to the anime news network's? anime encyclopedia ?for your searching leisure also if you find an anime you like you can search it on that site a find similar anime.

Well the most creepiest one I have seen which is considered horror is called hell girl it's pretty wicked and it gets you thinking a lot about if she was in real life and actually existed in our world.

A horror anime? I can recommend Elfen Lied, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, and/or Another. They are really great anime and worth watching. Another anime I can recommend is 11Eyes, though I did not see it as scary, but I still feel it is a serious anime.

I'm sad to find that no one has posted "Welcome to the N.H.K!" otherwise known as "NHK ni Youkoso!"

If you want serious, this gets up there.

I agree; Hell Girl is a great choice! Very serious anime.

Brigand :

Great call on bringing those two up; I would encourage everyone to see both of those at least once.

Neon Genesis Evangelion for sure. Just put on some (dark) ambient (Aphex Twin) or the MechWarrior 2 soundtrack if you are not a fan of the NGE OST.

Also, be prepared to see the main character erupt a lot of tears.
