One Piece - Everyone seems to have some sort of tear jerking past.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Hasn't been in the anime yet, but Rosa's and Maria's past, as well as Ange's past were greatly interesting.
Pandora Hearts - Just because I can't think of anything else.
edit: Blood+
edit2:Kino no Tabi - Duh, how could I forget this one >.<

Fullmetal Alchemist
Anything with horrendous genocide is an automatic win in my book


Ghost in the Shell: SAC
nuclear war is also awesome


Neon Genesis Evangelion
Again, I'm pretty much going by Earth-destroying awesome here


Persona: Trinity Soul
If you've played Persona 3, you'll know that that whole game is basically the backstory behind this anime; which, giving that the human race almost committed mass suicide at the hands of an awakening artificial demon god, was pretty god damn awesome


Tokyo Godfathers
Pretty much a giant WTF when you find out Gin's past is fake. That and the fact that Hana used to be manwhore and the whole Miyuki stabbing her father thing and you have a pretty epic backstory for a bunch of homeless people

Bernkastel's name gives away her extensive past the second you see her; you don't need to get anywhere in the VN to know that . . .

Edit: Sorry, completely forgot that 99% of the fans of When They Cry
only saw the anime and didn't realize Higurashi left out the main character.

It makes me wish the VN's were translated...
Plus I haven't even finished watching Higurashi anyways :P
