Anime movie played on Adult Swim, guy gets enrolled in a mech program to fight against blue crystals
A few years ago I saw an anime movie on Adult Swim.
This movie began with a guy walking into an empty city with a photo of a girl with an arrow pointing towards her boobs. Later in the movie he gets enrolled in this mech program to save the city from giant blue crystals that bleed red and were trying to destroy the city.
He later bonds with a girl who had a terrible back story and saves the town.

This might not be it, but your description reminds me of the seminal anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Or more likely, Rebuild of Evangelion, a series of movies (three so far, with a fourth in development hell) that retell the original story with a few changes.
This movie began with a guy walking into an empty city with a photo of a girl with an arrow pointing towards her boobs
The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, spends the series living with a woman named Misato who has a not-insignificant bust. She sends him a postcard so he'll recognise her.
Later in the movie he gets enrolled in this mech program
Shinji does indeed "get in the fricking robot", as the saying goes.
to save the city from giant blue crystals the bleed red and were trying to destroy the city
The antagonists of Neon Genesis Evangelion are the Angels, bizarre alien entities that are trying to destroy the planet. One of them, Ramiel, is a giant blue screaming octahedron.
He later bonds with a girl who had a terrible back story
That could be literally any of the girls in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Pretty much all of them have terrible backstories.

I am almost certain you are correct @F1Krazy. More secifically, it is the remake/remade version (the one that they still have not finished) and not the original series.

You should watch it! The original Neon Genesis Evangelion series is a tad drawn out (which Rebuild probably tries to fix), but it's still great, and the ending movie End of Evangelion is fantastic.

By the way, the scene with the photo does happen. Here's the photo of Misato with the arrow pointing at her cleavage, and here's Shinji holding it.
