    Dark/horror anime

    I've just seen Pet Shop of Horrors and thought it was pretty good...ever since I first got into anime I've wanted to find a series that was dark etc...closest I've come is PSoH and Hellsing (and Hellsing isn't even all that dark at all) so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Also I saw Perfect Blue which is pretty cool...

    I've heard (very briefly) about Full Metal Alchemist so I might check that out at some point though I don't have a clue what its about...but I could do with something that I could download by episode as all my BT downloads at the moment are more than a gigabyte and I need something new to watch.

    Any horror/dark anime (preferably series or ova's but films'd be ok too).

    RE: Dark/horror anime

    Dont know much about Horror... but some dark anime I recommend are...

    Gilgamesh, Berserk, Texhnolyze, Blue Gender, Project ARMS.... Narutaru... maybe Hitsuji no Uta (Song of Sheep) OVA

    I'll think of others and post them...

    And yeah... when FMA wants to get dark.... it gets pretty dark...

    I downloaded PSoH a week ago... i guess i'll watch it soon...

    Gantz, the raw of ep01 is out, AonE will sub it, it's kinda psychological, it seems good, but still strange.

    I don't really consider Evagelion dark, but it's still good (except the last few episodes). A nice one that hasn't been mentioned is Paranoia Agent, which is being subbed by AnimeOne, incidentally. It's not exactly dark, but it can get very grisly at times. Watch the first few episodes and you'll know if you like it or not.

    found it at box torrents. thanks.


    btw evagelion is hell dark when you consider the strong nihilistic undercurrent and self loathing that is the second half of the series + End of Eva. and almost everyone dies

    Monster, the manga at least, is extremly good. I reccomend it to anyone who has the chance.

    But the two out now that i reccomend are Gantz, and Monster. Both have a very dark tone to them, especially gantz.

    I'd recommend Berserk, wait at least 3 episodes before recommending a series (Gantz). It might not be as good as you think.

    Yeah, Beserk is definitely a nice one, although the ending is weak. But I hear there's a new season coming out.

    RE: Dark/horror anime

    ...I still have not seen the Berserk Ending... but its a great story... but, it's old so you'll notice the poor animation if you go from a newer anime such as: Naruto or Last Exile. (what I'm watching)

    Boogie Pop Phantom was mentioned but not stressed enough. It is very dark, very enthralling, but there's not much action... still, its very good... worth buying.

    But, if you Download Boogie Pop, don't delete it, because you will want to watch it again. And again... and maybe one more time... I'm not quite sure yet.

    I don't know, most of the dark and creepy ones seems to be hentai.

    Lol, thats very true to...I guess you can say series like La Blue Girl and Cool Devices have their twisted plotlines as well, even if it is a Hentai. Now that i think about it...Macross Plus (the movie) could be considered dark just for the fact that theres a computer AI that tries to make people kill themselves...with an awesome soundtrack in the background [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]....

    I totally suggest to see that movie now, i think im going to watch it tomorrow!
    Well thats my nite...talk to you guys again!
