If you don't mind my asking, why is this depressing?

Well, that's fanart, but the girl is a character from the game - her name is Yumizuka Satsuki.
The game is, as that picture tried to spell, "Tsukihime." It's a visual novel, where you're reading a story and occasionally presented with choices that affect how the story flows. It's about ten years old, so the art style is a bit primitive, but there's a remake coming out this year supposedly... in Japanese, of course.
Some art from the actual game itself:
That said, the artist who did the art got a *LOT* better within just a few years. As an example, I present a picture from the project that came out after Tsukihime (and one that's a fair bit more better known), 2004's Fate/stay night:
And this would be something even more recent of his, 2009, for the light novel (and later OVA) series, Kara no Kyoukai. As it's a massive 9 MB picture (and 2,825 × 4,133) I'll just link to it directly, since my [screenshot] BBCode isn't doing it properly due to unicode characters, and linking with [img] would just destroy this page's layout:

The same writer, as well.
