** ''[[Gundam AGE]]'' starts off as this. In spite of the Earth Federation being rotten and incompetent in handling the problem of the [[Ax Crazy]] UE murdering colonies mercilessly, Flit Asuno and Grodek were dedicated in saving the humanity from the UE's vile clutches and promoting peace and harmony. {{spoiler|That is, until the Diva's crew realize that the UE are human soldiers for Veigan and Grodek shows that his true goal was revenge against the man who killed his family, not to saving humanity. Worst of all, Flit Asuno refuses to accept that the Veigan soldiers are human and prefers to continue viewing himself as a savior... for the corrupt Earth Federation. And he's more than willing to take Veigan lives to become this. [[It Gets Worse|The war's only going to get worse from there...]]}}
** ''[[G Gundam]]'', once Domon finds out just how the Gundam Fights have destroyed Earth and {{spoiler|The Devil Gundam's true programing and Master Asia's intentions. He finds out that everyone he thought was a villain was really trying to restore Earth and protect it from the real bad guys.}}
* ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'' is a [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Deconstruction]] of superhumans, whose protagonist is a mass-murdering assassin who's basically just working for [[The Syndicate]] for lack of other options. The world is full of superpowered [[Lack of Empathy|sociopaths]], and the governmental agencies and criminal groups that employ them are locked in a pretty much constant underground struggle to control both the Contractors and the [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]] from the Gate. Nevertheless, over the course of the show it becomes clear that Contractors ''can'' have feelings and morals, and that it's possible for things to improve; several mini-arcs end relatively happily, and in the end Hei manages to [[Take a Third Option]] when forced to choose between {{spoiler|allowing a genocide of all Contractors and wiping Japan off the map, and the end of the first season shows that the [[The Unmasqued World|broken]] [[Masquerade]] will help prevent rogue Contractors from running wild.}} Still a [[Bittersweet Ending]], and things haven't improved too much by the second season, but there's hope.
* [[Cozy Catastrophe|Pleasant]] as it may seem, ''[[Sora no Woto]]'''s Earth is dying a slow death while the survivors fight for the last fertile lands rather than cooperate. Yet the girls of the [[Amazon Brigade|Helvetian 1121st Tank Platoon]] and their [[Heroic Bastard|bastard]] [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|princess]] friend will have none of that.
* ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' is a bleak world where lots of violence and death happens. The villain, Johan, is a heavy contender for [[Complete Monster|the most evil bastard ever written into existence (he was the trope image).]] But its shown that he and his supporters are the exception. Most of the people in the series are decent to really good people who just want to help others succeed or atone for past misdeeds. And those who go [[Trauma Conga Line|through horrific trauma]] can put the pieces back together and enjoy life. It's never to late to start anew. Accentuated by Nina who after the terrible things she goes through and coming so close to suicide goes on to living a normal and happy life afterwards.
