Anime Recommendation and Suggestion Query

[The Heretic Azazel]

Thanks Bill.. I'll get on that when I'm done with Eden of the East, which doesn't really fit into my description but it is a pleasant little series. Your suggestion looks right up my alley though.

So does no one else have interest in violent or realistic/tragic anime? WHERE ARE YOU RYLL??

Based on this I'd recommend Shikabane Hime Aka followed by Shikabane Hime Kuro.

There pretty tragic but not overly realistic as its based on a supernatural concept where a priest uses a dead girl bound to him in order to kill other dead people who have died but been unable to rest thus turning into monsters due to a regret they hold from life.

I'd directly recommend against Saikano though. I watched it based on some recommendations in here and I found it very hard to finish the series as it dragged and was WAY over melodramatic. Still its somewhat along the lines of what you asked for its just a real slog to watch with overall very little action and instead the focus being directly on the melodrama of the people involved.
