Horror anime

[nejithewise]

im looking for a good anime. with ghosts,monsters,cyborgs stuff like that. im big into gore to. thrillers are always cool but none of that "running around for 20 episodes only to confront the source of the creepyness at the end".
ive seen,
hellsing and the oav
gantz
blood+
blood the last vampire
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
so anyway just let me know cause im dyin of boredom.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni?

did you see 2nd and 3rd season? kai and hen?

ghost hunt has ghosts
ga rei zero has monsters
elfen lied has gore
death note has thousands of deaths

watch the first episodes of each to see if theyre to your liking. but i really recommend these, theyre like 9 or 10 out of 10 in my book


natsume yuujinchou and zoku natsume is very good too, if you want ghosts and a relaxing anime. not a lot of action like what people are used to, but still good.

i wouldnt bother with ayakashi or Hakaba Kitarou even though theyre about monsters and ghosts


for true horror try winx club

[The Envoy]

Jigoku Shoujo.

You might wanna check out this series called "When They Cry". It's not the most violent thing I've seen but if you can ge your hands on it give it a watch.

"Umezu Kazuo no Noroi" - IMHO nice horror OVA.

 

[Blackmarrow]

'Little Pet shop of horrors' is a really good anime in the horror genre

 

[pjugt]

hmm.. anime with monster and ghost eh ? well how about gantz and ghost at school ? it's really good anime

 

[IchiTheKiller]

Mnemosyne is so bloody and has lots of mystery plots in it. ^^
chaos;head is FREAKY.
Denpa teki na Kanojo is an OVA of only like 2 episodes, but its great.

Hope I helped.

you should check the new Aoi Bungaku, its a collection of creepy Japanese histories, no happy end. :murder:

 

[IchiTheKiller]

I like "no happy end" animes

 

[greeneyes69]

Elfen lied is quite gore 18+

Love it! It's horror and beatiful at the same time!

 

[Syobon]

yeh, Im still waiting for the 'next' elfen lied, nice combination of gore and plot.

 

[Alpeia]

Claymore is sort of horror, it's a dark story and it has demons. :gayprance:


With Elfen Lied you have to look beyond the gore, to me the story is really about how human society is in our time. If you didn't get that, watch it again and this time pay attention the the flash back when she was in school. Also keep an eye on the runaway girls past, these are just a couple of examples. This is one of my top ten animes of all time for that reason.

Here's a list of Horror genre anime from ANN:

Horror Anime List :evil:

I hope there are some there that you like.

Some I can personally recommend:

Beserk: It has a great manga and the anime adaptation is superb (if you can accept the 'old' animation style). It has a great plot and a host of interesting characters...And blood Unfortunately the anime is very incomplete, as the manga has continued far beyond the start/end (if you watch it, you'll know what I mean ^^) point in the anime. There is also little to no chance of us ever seeing a continuation to the anime .:/

Monster: If you enjoyed Death Note, this is another psychological thriller which will keep you guessing, and some of the scenes are intense enough that I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Ergo Proxy: Not technically a 'horror', more of a cyber-punk theme, but it has an excellent story, great artwork and is overall very creepy. (The female lead looks exactly like Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence if that makes any difference.) :tehheh:

I think I'll stop there before I post a true wall of text. I hope it helps, it's never a good thing to be bored. :goodmood:
