Darnit, you made me go and read up on what you were referring to... and yeah, that does sound like a "drop the series there" moment; sure, it sounds plausible given the characters, but I don't like that kind of thing...
I mean, I can take a limited amount of tragic-violent-depression stuff, sometimes, but most of the time I do prefer to avoid it... still though, it's not like I think "if there's anything awful that happens in a series I won't watch it", that's not true. But I do often avoid such things, particularly in animated/movie form (because that has more of an impact than, say, manga); that's why I didn't actually watch From the New World, even with how good it sounds, it's just so unrelentingly horrendously depressing... and yeah, that Psychgo-Pass one sounds like one of the cruler ones. Not quite "last couple episodes of Vampire Princess Miyu" cruel, but cruel. (But yes, I do like VPM; it's probably my favorite super-dark-and-depressing anime, provided that we're not counting Lain or Haibane Renmei as that, because they aren't on that level. But that ending of the series... so, so cruel!)
