6
7	* ''Manga/SevenSeeds'': Ango takes one during the Hail Of Corn arc when he realizes the truth about what the term "Dropping Out" means [[spoiler: and that the friendship bracelet he found actually ''is'' red, meaning it's Nobara's]].
8
9	* ''Anime/AiNoKusabi'': In the OVA after Riki's gang is attacked Riki takes one, reminiscing about all that has happened.
10
11	* In ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'', [[http://animebaths.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ai_yori_aoshi_v10c79.aya_v10c79p74.jpg Kaoru]] has at least one of these as the thinks of his AcheyScars.
12
13	* Episode 9 of ''Anime/AldnoahZero'' has Rayet angsting in the shower [[spoiler:before she tries to kill Asselyum]].
14
15	* In ''Anime/AngelLinks'', Meifon Li has one while she bangs her head against the wall.
16
17	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''
18	** Griffith bathed in a river after having prostituted himself for the night to gain funds for the Band of the Hawk. Including clawing at his forearms until they bleed, only stopping when Casca [[CooldownHug gives him a hug from behind]].
19	** Post-Eclipse sees Casca standing under a waterfall while fully clothed. Made creepier by the fact that she's not only [[spoiler:washing herself after the horrific rape by Griffith and trauma of the Eclipse]], but that she has mentally regressed to the state of a two-year-old.
20
21	* Manga/BlackLagoon: Roberta has one after [[spoiler: her master, Diego Lovelace, is killed by a bomb at a political rally]] in the first chapter of ''El Baile de Muerte''. [[RageAgainstTheReflection She also shatters the bathroom mirror in anger.]]
22
23	* In the ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa Road to 2002'' TV series, Koujirou Hyuga is seen showering and then punching the stall's wall in ''rage'' after [[spoiler:clashing with Willem violently in his first training session in Italy]].
24
25	* In ''Manga/Classi9'', Bach is seen in the shower after [[spoiler:finding out about Rentarou's biological sex]], trying to deal with that revelation.
26
27	* Mr. MagnificentBastard Lelouch Lamperouge from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' did this once, after [[spoiler:Shirley's father]]'s death really made him confront the consequences of his actions. It actually managed to humanize him after all the killing he did. (Of course, by the end of the shower he decided that the best way to ease his troubled conscience was ''more killing''.)
28	** You can also count Milly in as well, when she was in a depressed state for a while after Nina told her off in R2 (while everyone else during bath time were happy and giddy with their upcoming date with Lelouch). This happened near the beginning of episode 12.
29
30	* Faye Valentine of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' has a Shower Of Angst scene after she recovers her lost memories.
31
32	* ''Anime/DanganronpaTheAnimation'' has one where Makoto Naegi angsts heavily after [[spoiler:the first murder (of his LoveInterest), trial, and execution.]]
33
34	* In ''Manga/DearBrother'', Mariko doesn't necessarily take a shower, but she does have a bath (and it has the same effect of this trope) after [[spoiler:the incident with Nanako in which she [[MurderSuicide threatens to kill Nanako and herself]].]]
35	** Rei also has her moments of these more than once. Considering that she is a BrokenBird, it's pretty understandable.
36	** Fukiko is seen having one [[spoiler: after Rei's death.]]
37
38	* Tsuzuki in ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' has a private Shower of Angst [[spoiler:after being possessed by the demon Sargantanas]] in the Devil's Trill Arc.
39	** Double points for the shower drowning out his vocalizations of misery while [[spoiler:losing to the EnemyWithin.]]
40

42

44

48	** Lucy has one after losing her fight against Flare Corona.
49
50	* In ''Anime/{{Free}}'', Haruka is seen having one after [[spoiler:Rin defeats him in a swimming race, in which he says to him that he will never swim with him again.]]
51
52	* More a Shower of Painful Memories than of Angst, but Riza Hawkeye is shown doing this in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', complete with a very significant ToplessnessFromTheBack shot [[spoiler: revealing the Alchemy tattoo there]].
53
54	* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' doesn't actually feature Miaka in a shower (she's in a lake), but it still has that same effect as she [[spoiler:furiously scrubs herself with twigs to the point of bleeding in the hopes that it would purify her after Nakago had raped her. Of course, he didn't really get to do that]].
55	** Also in the ''Eikoden'' {{OVA}}, Mayo starts fading away, just about when she starts to feel guilty about how she'd been acting. The fading makes it worse, as she believes she's [[CessationOfExistence disappearing forever]]. She stands under the waterfall at the palace (which she had spurned previously on the grounds that it was an open-air bath), crying and upset. Mumin comes to talk to her, and is visibly concerned when Mayo fades again.
56
57	* In ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'', Miki Jounouchi has one in an episode of ''Double-One'' when she thinks that Clair is a better worker in the Sugo team than her. In fact, this is a recurring theme in the OVA series, as evidenced by Asuka Sugo in ''SAGA'' and Kyoko Aoi in ''SIN''.
58
59	* ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'': Albert takes one in episode 8. (Sitting in the tub while the shower is running with his head bowed.)
60	** He takes another one in episode 14, musing over the threat "disaster will befall your house as well!" Peppo even states "you've been in there for a while."
61
62	* Played with in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellArise''. Motoko sits in the shower and shifts through the information she's downloaded on the murder of a ParentalSubstitute.
63
64	* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'': Miyabi, after being "betrayed" by her teacher.
65
66	* ''Manga/HanaAndHinaAfterSchool'': After Hina declares that she would [[ClosetGay never date another girl]], Hana takes a very angsty bath and tries to figure out why that makes her heart hurt so much.
67
68	* ''Manga/HaouAiren'': Kurumi has one of these after she [[spoiler: has a failed IntimatePsychotherapy "session" with Hakuron's NumberTwo]] and then learns about [[spoiler: Reilan's ThanatosGambit.]]
69
70	* Kozue Izumi from ''Anime/InfiniteRyvius'' is found taking one of these after she was assaulted by the other girls at the end of episode 18.
71

73
74	* Sora Naegino of ''Anime/KaleidoStar'' has several showers of angst.
75
76	* ''Manga/KarakuridoujiUltimo'': Yamato has one in chapter 4 when Sayama mistakes him for being a child molester.
77
78	* In the manga version of ''Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'', [[spoiler:Tomari angsted in the shower in one chapter after hearing that her crush, her [[RelationshipUpgrade best friend]] Hazumu, is said to die within a month.]]
79
80	* ''Anime/LegendOfTheBlueWolves'' has a particularly chilling example. Jonathan is shoved fully clothed under a running shower for a moment before [[spoiler: being approached by a nude Captain Continental who intends to rape him]].
81
82	* In the ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' anime, we briefly see Komari taking one [[spoiler:during her BSOD]]. She has one in the visual novel as well, and while we don't see it, we do see the immediate aftermath - a just-dried girl with wet hair wearing a guy's shirt for pyjamas manages to achieve [[TheWoobie a similar]] [[{{Fanservice}} impact.]]
83
84	* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': Maria takes one such shower after almost running into her ex-husband Taiichiro ([[GriefInducedSplit having divorced him two years ago]] and seeing him again for the first time ever since) and realizing he is investigating the disappearance of her victims. She had earlier mentioned how [[CrazyPrepared she was ready for anything the police or Okaya might try to do to stop her]], but Taiichiro's involvement puts that claim to the test.
85
86	* Rin from ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'' does this in episode 5 after her first genuine lover ''in centuries'' (she is an ever-young immortal, by the way) dies.
87
88	* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' was fond of these, providing shower scenes for Kira, Athrun and Cagalli (if memory serves). Oddly enough, the TV episodes had Cagalli moping in a bathtub, while the movie compilations changed it into a shower scene for no apparent reason other than to show a little more skin.
89	** Tieria Erde is seen having one of these in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''.
90
91	* A variation exists in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. Orochimaru is desperately waiting for Sasuke to arrive and [[BodySurf provide a new body]] but his arms have finally reached their breaking point. As he stands in a shower, they begin to flake off and crumble. Despite his agony, Orochimaru is driven to rage when he must finally accept he needs a new body ''now'' and can't wait for Sasuke.
92
93	* Setsuna Sakurazaki of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' after her humiliating defeat by Tsukiyomi.
94	** Later on, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v27/c244/16.html Ako]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v27/c244/17.html Izumi]] has one after [[spoiler: she finds out that the boy she loves doesn't actually exist]].
95
96	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Asuka took one after her MindRape at the hands of an Angel.
97
98	* In ''Anime/{{Noir}}'', Mireille takes a shower when she decides to kill [[spoiler:her uncle, who raised her after her parents were killed]] in order to protect Kirika.
99
100	* ''Anime/PerfectBlue'': After Mima endures a good deal of disturbing hardships, she partakes in a hot bath which she screams into as she hugs herself underwater.
101
102	* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': While he's also doing it because Nino forced him to, as he was wet and dirty, Fuutarou's scene in Chapter 43 has vibes of this, since it comes right after his encounter with "Rena", and him being depressed about it. Thankfully, talking to Nino about it helps him feel better and recover afterwards.
103
104	* In ''Anime/RahXephon'', Elvy has one after [[spoiler:one of her fellow pilots is killed]]. Ayato also evokes this trope by stumbling into a bathroom during one very angsty scene and getting wet by breaking the shower faucet.
105
106	* Occurs in ''Anime/RealDrive''. For a male character, even.
107
108	* Juri from ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' indulges in this.
109	** Utena has one in episode 37, after [[spoiler:finding out about Anthy and Akio.]]
110
111	* Happens twice in ''Anime/ReCutieHoney'' (once after a shouting match with Natsuko and once after [[UnstoppableRage losing it]] in a battle aganst Black Claw). The first one turns into a ShowerOfAwkward when [[HandsomeLech Seiji]] decides to tag along with Natsuko in pulling her out of her rut.
112
113	* Nodoka of ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' had one of these in the second episode of the anime after her loss and subsequent argument with Saki.
114	** Saki herself on one occasion. She and Nodoka go over after they notice that some of Nodoka's old friends have reached the semi-finals, but Saki stops short after realizing her sister is in there and having a flashback. Saki can't bring herself to go in, goes back to where they're staying, and has a shower like this.
115
116	* Yuya of ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'' has a few of these.
117
118	* ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'' likes this trope a lot. Paraietta had an attack of guilt or two in the shower while reflecting on [[spoiler:her AttemptedRape of Neveril]].
119
120	* ''Manga/SkipBeat'' gives us Fuwa Sho at one point, angsting when he learns that [[spoiler: Kyouko is dating a rival of his. Turns out to be untrue though.]]
121
122	* Tira takes one in one of the ''Manga/SorcererHunters'' side novels after a big fight with Carrot.
123
124	* Occurs in ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' as a result of rampant unrequited love and general FanService.
125
126	* ''Anime/{{Sukisho}}'': Sora takes one in the first episode.
127
128	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Yoko takes a surprisingly FanService-free Shower of Angst after [[spoiler:Kamina dies]].
129	** Averted in the manga, when the cartoonist behind it, Kotaro Mori, gives you a complete view of her naked body, with boobies clearly visible. Yeah, Mori, a good time to see a woman naked is when she's just had her heart BROKEN.
130
131	* Ichise from ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'' takes one in the first episode.
132
133	* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Kaneki has one where he is hitting his head against the wall and sobbing, calling himself useless because he couldn't do a thing to save Ryouko.
134
135	* In ''Manga/TokyoShinobiSquad'', En breaks down in tears when left alone in the shower after being separated from his father and hounded by assassins. Prior to this, he kept up a cheery and optimistic facade that belied his loneliness and fear.
136
137	* Tony from ''Manga/TowardTheTerra'' had one of these while in MyGodWhatHaveIDone mode after he [[spoiler: killed Matsuka]].
138
139	* Souichi from ''Manga/TheTyrantFallsInLove'' after every time he has sex with Morinaga.
140
141	* Occurs several times in the yaoi manga ''Manga/UnderGrandHotel'' mostly because whenever someone's taking a shower there's a chance they'll either end up getting raped or beaten up and then left there for a bit under the running shower.
142
143	* Lucia angsted in the shower once in ''Manga/VenusVersusVirus''.
144
145	* Akiko Aoshika from ''Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' is seen more than once taking showers. Then again, considering the CrapsackWorld she lives in, no wonder she does so.
146
147	* Comedic example in ''Manga/YugamiKunNiWaTomodachiGaInai.'' [[TheAce Ace pitcher]] [[TheProtagonist Yuuji]] [[LonersAreFreaks Yugami]] misses a [[FlawlessVictory perfect game]] and later a no-hitter/shutout. His teammates try to console him but he plays it off like it's [[BlatantLies no big deal]]. Later, when his sister calls him for dinner, he's seen [[NotSoAboveItAll sighing dejectedly in the bath with the shower faucet beating down on him]].
148
149	* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': During the aftermath of his traumatic loss to Edo and being demoted in the pro leagues, Kaiser Ryo Marufuji takes a shower after losing yet ''another'' duel, while reminiscing about being fired by his sponsor.
150	He's [[FreakOut freaked out]] by the end of the episode.
