Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. I think especially in the OVA series.

There was this really good recent anime called March Comes in Like a Lion, which did a great job at getting you into the head of someone who has depression, the struggles from the highs and lows (feeling unworthy of the highs), and how it grips the person in a feeling of sinking. The main character, Rei Kiriyama, being the most overt example of a person with depression. An anime/cartoon so much about depression sounds like it would be.... well, pretty depressing, but I think that there is something to it in the feeling not alone in something, and is a good watch to feel through something similar.

There was this song and music video called "Fighter" that was made when it was a manga by a band called Bump of Chicken, which got a seal of approval from the creator, and then was taken on board for songs when it was turned into an anime, and became a big part of general tone for it. I will link the music video because I think that it is a great job at showing the struggles of the character with depression, and recommend to check out if you are interested (the actual anime looks better).

Serena from Sailor Moon.
In a situation that would leave the most normal girl on Earth feeling depressed

more clumsy than she was before that turn of events.

How is being clumsy being depressed?

Does Donald Duck count as depressed?

I'm starting to think Barney might have a drinking problem too. :nerdy:

Haha, well, alcoholism is often associated with depression.
