blood C Mirai Nikki
Honestly, there are much gorier, scarier horror-based animes than these.
Violence Jack, Gantz, Blood-C… even Akira (though it’s not a series) has
better horror elements than a number of these and doesn’t need to
constantly have gore.
I’ve seen all of these anime, and while they are good, yes, I’ve definitely
seen a few that are better suited for the top spot than Parasyte. :P
Only 2 of these are on crunchyroll
And what about Brynhildr in the darkness ?!!
Did Higurashi get re-dubbed? Or have I just not watched that crappy-ass dub
in so many years I’ve forgotten what they’re voices sound like?
Tokyo Ghoul should’ve been way further down on the list. Just because it
generated some hype during its release, doesn’t make it good “horror”
anime.
While for the most part I agree with what’s on this list (not necessarily
the order) I would actually remove Tokyo Ghoul and replace it with
Shinsekai Yori or “From the New World” as its known in English, as it has a
much more interesting story in my opinion.I would also give an honorable
mention to Deadman Wonderland as well as Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.
But hey, this is just my opinion.
Yami Shibai is much scarier than parasite
I wasn’t that impressed with Another. It had a lot of suspense but it fell
victim to the usual horror cliche of, “well why don’t they just deal with
things like, idk, anybody with a brain would? Oh yeah, we wouldn’t have
much of a show then.” Not to mention the ending is ridiculously stupid and
unintentionally hilarious but in a very frustrating way and the final
reveal completely makes you facepalm. 🙁 Actually, I take that back, I
REALLY wasn’t impressed with Another. :(
Tokyo Ghoul here but Blood-C isnt? ggwp
