When Connor said "Tokyo Ghoul" that was probably the absolute HARDEST we have and will hear Joey laugh. My God, he straight up said "AH HA"
I think the hardest tho is like when Joey was in his banana costume
Anybody ever heard of Ghost Hunt? The bloodstained labyrinth episode made me lose sleep for days
To be fair it probably is the best horror anime.
Because watching the studio ruthlessly butcher the source material while it screamed and begged for mercy is probably the most horrifying experience Ive had watching an anime
Promise Neverland season 1 is a great psychological horror and season 2 is psychologically horrifying
I mean, if we count The Promised Neverland season 2 for psychological torture I'm sure Tokyo Ghoul season 2 should also count for obvious reasons
Season 2 off the promised neverland? I've never heard of it, there is no season 2 of TPN... what are you talking about? It was season 1 only :))
Thanks I need to watch something good.
@RendezvouDoo yeah only eeason 1
Agreed
Perfect Blue, of course. If you can consider Mononoke horror, then Perfect Blue is definitely horror. It’s literally a classic stalker/serial killer mystery story with a few extra twists.
yeah, this had some application to reality so it made it more scarier
Another series I would say is Monster
Shiki is a good horror. But what scared me the most in anime was the first arc of Higurashi, while you're still completely in the dark. The more you find out, the less scary it gets, but the unknown of the first arc is terrifying.
the first season is the first five or six arcs of the vn with an OVA for one arc.
This. It actually made me paranoid. Made me an instant fan.
Higurashi managed to pull off an eerie atmosphere that I have yet to see again in any horror movie or horror medium
Fun fact: the author of Shiki and Another is married couple
I also thinking about Mokke. Anime from 2007. The very first episode is actually scary but later became slice of life supernatural but still when it comes to that supernatural thing appeared, is genuinely scary. I heard the source material is even scarier than the anime but I don't know because I haven't read the manga. Jigoku-sensei Nube is closed to good horror if not for the comedy and fanservice.
Probably Made in Abyss imo . Maybe not everyone thinks of it as horror , but imo the things it presents are more impactful and horrific than a « jumpscare » horrror which is only scary in the moment , in a very short lived manner , whereas the lovecraftian horror of the Abyss has a lasting effect .
Word. When made in abyss made it clear that it’s a fucked up show, the happy scenes were terrifying to me because I never knew when it would go off the rails again
You read the manga? It only gets progressively darker
so, basically psychological?
@@Anti3D-0 Cosmic horror is like a mix of supernatural, psychological, and existential horror, so partly yes.
It makes me wonder now if Garnt knows Roadside Picnic or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The Zones and the Stalkers are pretty similar to the Abyss and the delvers of MiA, except it predates the story by a few decades and is somewhat more dreary in atmosphere. I remember Garnt has mentioned Annihilation before and he seems to just really like the Eldritch Location trope as the main setting of a story. Annihilation also has the pretty eeriness with Area X, kind of like the Abyss.
There actually are a lot of late 80s early 90s OVAs that are pretty much horror with some level of action driving the plot, like Wicked City, Doomed Megalopolis, even Legend of the Overfiend and Devilman: Amon. I think just straight up horror anime are super rare. They tend to be some sort of sub-genre like psychological-horror, action-horror, erotic-horror, etc. With that in mind, I think Berserk is a good candidate too (up until the more recent manga archs where Guts gets his D&D party). Maybe even Serial Experiments Lain as a psyche-horror; some amazingly scary moments of horror, then episodes upon episodes of uneasiness and negativity.
Anime and horror have a hard time getting along but I will hold out hope it can be done successfully
hollywood and horror also have a hard time getting along.
@@Ghorda9 A24
Uzumaki
It might take time until some anime studios hone it soon perfectly
Shiki got me shook back in the day. It was a great horror anime
especially the 2 ova episodes in between pure horror
Scariest anime gotta be haikyuu.
agreed volleyballs are scary
Yo bro, em balls are terrifying
Naaa It is k-on.
Especially daichi's death
Bro the way they threw them balls 🥶🥶🥶 shiver me timbers
Man the first Higurashi arc is a pure madness. Love that arc so much
arc or season?
@@Ghorda9 arc
@@Ghorda9 u know? Actually the first season is a pure madness
the only horror anime that actually made me feel actual dread or at least afraid for the main character is Mieruko-chan, the way it portrays it's horror theme is so genius, the ghost are there in front of the main character but she must ignore it no matter what. There's actually a short movie that explores this same theme, "Ignore It - Short Horror Film ". I guess the only way to make a horrifying anime is make the "scare" psychologically terrifying. Some notable horror concept that would probably work on anime, in my opinion at least, are "Mirrors", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Final Destination"
I still maintain the fact that Perfect Blue is the best horror anime out there and damn near a masterpiece. I know Gigguk claimed it's more psychological than horror, but there is literally a genre called 'psychological horror' so I really see no reason to count the two separate in cases like this when both elements exist
psychological horror is just a combination of psychological and horror...it still needs to have the horror part not just be psychological.
@@GrowingDownUnder yes and Perfect Blue does have both parts
@@ohthisguyagain5386 yes, and I agree perfect blue is psychological horror. But i'm just saying psychological and horror are different. It still needs to have the horror part. I think psychological anime can be scary without necessarily needing the horror part though, especially if it's a thriller
@@GrowingDownUnder oh no, I understand that. Plenty of horror out there isn't psychological and vice versa. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@GrowingDownUnder horror doesn't need to be explicit, it doesn't have to have jump scares or gore, it just needs to make you uncomfortable after or while watching it.
shiki gave me goosebumps while I was watching it, and I can confidently attribute some of my nightmares spawning from it.
Shiki was good but also very dumb
@@philo2189 yeah i didnt watch it until i was a bit older and i found it very hard to take the show seriously at all. still enjoyed it tho
@@jaded-harperyeah I watched it last month and thought it was shit, but I bet 13 year old me would have loved it
Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror is a very old favorite. The different art styles and the storytelling is really fun.
Ayakashi -Triangle-
Well the last story did serve as the jump start for Mononoke.
I remember it because of that.
Edit - And the opening.
Horror in anime is like finding a good werewolf movie in general.
Seems a lot of people don't understand what horror as a genre actually is nowadays. Like the amount of stuff mentioned in this video that absolutely is horror that the bois laughed at is astonishing.
Heres a short list of some rational behind things being horror that I've seen people argue against in the past:
1. HOTD: Literally ecchi dawn of the dead
2. Elfen Lied: It's a slaher, it literally follows every slasher trope to the letter
3. Parasyte: Sci fi body horror, look at The Thing
4. AOT: Starts out as zombies but big, turns into more a dystopian hellscape about war and genocide with cosmic horror understones, still horror just a different kind
5. Tokyo Ghoul: I mean its literally about people eating people, also body horror
6. Berserk: It's lord of the rings with cenobites
7. Death Note: Prob the least in the horror genre, but the case can be made with things like the hannibal series, ultimately dark mystery series with horror undertones
8. Gantz: Body horror, sci fi horror, cosmic horror. Gantz has it all.
TLDR; Watch/read more horror, fuck it go watch hannibal, that show is amazing
Do you actually feel scared or creeped out or goosebumps while watching any of these anime? You can divide any of these titles into their own subgenre or category. But at the end of the day, horror is about how good these titles are at scaring their audience. Hence the title, "Does SCARY Horror Anime Exist??"
@@NuukaYT They changed the video title. Never used to have scary in the title.
Monoke is such a underrated show was so happy when Joey mentioned it
These lists conflate “anime that have monsters in them” with “horror anime”
Well, I had never thought they resembled each other, but Magnetic Rose was written by Satoshi Kon, so I guess that Perfect Blue comparison makes sense. He also wrote and directed Paranoia Agent (another show that was mentioned in that list), but I don't consider it horror. It's just surreal weirdness, more akin to Paprika, than to the psychological horror of Perfect Blue.
Shiki is a badass anime and is one of the best vampire stories too! I remember first discovering it when one of the songs from the soundtrack (Pendulum) was part of a spooky music compilation.
It does. Its called "Serial Experiments Lain". That scene in Ep.2 were that girl emerges from the school closest always gives me goosebumps.
Joey went through a phase years ago where he didn't stop talking about Lain but it's more psychological and vague but I mean yeah it can be horror.
if you like lain and into gaming play the first dues ex game
Yep that show gave me such a weird sense of existential horror
Not horror, more like scifi. The scene at dinner with her parents had a horror element tho
@@RATHEHITMAKER Which one?
Joey popping out with the true OG take bringing up Magnetic Rose
There are tons of cult anime in the 90's that make Redo of Healer a joke, those shows are a bit at the lower end of the iceberg
I agree with them a lot (and added some my watchlist), but I gotta also add *Angel's Egg*. It never outright scared me, but the atmosphere is freaking well done.
Jigoku Shoujo was pretty good. Wasn't truly horror, but it went into how fked up humanity was.
Also, if we count hentai, Urotsukidoji had a good story. Extremely gory though.
A lot of those 80's / 90's OVA's got dark and were pretty good...Bio hunter, Wicked City, Urotsukidoji, Midnight Eye Gokuu, Demon City Shinjuku, Darkside Blues, Lily C.A.T, puppet princess, Kage OVA, Mermaids forest, Jin roh, Midori, Phantom quest corp, Genocyber, Majuu sensen, Shuten doji, The guyver, Apocalypse zero, Kimera, shin megami tensei tokyo revelations, umezu kazuo, laughing target, psycho diver, maryuu senki, highlander, blood reign, sanctuary, armitage, call me tonight, AD police, a wind called amnesia, blue gender, nightwalker, etc...
Jigoku Shoujo doesn't scare you in the traditional way.
It scares you with the realization that the people they show you there can potentially exist in real life.
Ayooo I was searching for this comment. Jigoku shoujo was disturbing af. Not like jumpscare boo horror. But its horror vibe lingers with you throughout the episode and it stays even after that.
Yessss. Jigoku Shoujo is great because the horror isn't the fantasy/folklore elements. The horror is us.
And damn do the first few episodes slam you in the face.
i used to watch it on animax back in my early teenage years n it really stick to me.. i used to wait to watch it in the afternoons during my summer holidays... weird how they aired a horror show during the brightest hour of the day tho 😂 but i feel nostalgic thinking abt it. It used to be one of the shows i loved from the songs n bgm to revenge stories revealing human nature n how dark they can be. But now as i started watching the later seasons it felt mediocre in sm way, maybe compared to all the other great anime i can watch online anytime now, back then i used to watch it on tv so maybe that's y it got all my attention.
Has anyone watched Elfen Lied?
Elfen Lied is a horror anime, fight me
Eva is also part horror
I remember Mayoiga (the lost village) having a chance of being good, but turning extremely disappointing in the end.
Agreed, interesting idea at the start but disappointing end result. One of the first anime I ranked lower than a 6 in MAL
Ghost Hunt. Its not an anime that gets much love or attention but I fucking love it. And I actually think that in some aspects, the anime was easier to follow than the manga. On the downside, the anime leaves out important plot points. Still, its my favorite horror anime. And the only one to actually send chills down my spine... primarily the Blood-stained Labyrinth case but also a few of the others had some smaller terrifying moments that had me jumpy. I did watch with headphones and the lights off though.
I loved how with each case, it became increasingly scarier and then toned it down with the Christmas episode then went right back to scariness
Wait untill you read the manga. Those were scary
@@nurlindafsihotang49 I have and they were fantastic and terrifying! I got horribly creeped out on their last couple of cases -- which, sadly, didn't make it into the anime.
@@serenshadow89 maybe the censors will cut it up to pieces.
Kara no Kyoukai (the Garden of Sinners) and Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel Movies are scary horror movie (at least the atmosphere in some scenes)
And they're both done by Ufotable and written by the same dude ( Kinoko Nasu )
The scariest ones I have seen is gantz. Its not because the show was scary but because multiple times the show's world and characters felt too familiar to me. I don't like when shows does that , it freaks me out a little bit. If you take out monsters the world wasn't much different from the place I grew up in. At one point even a scene brought up a memory that I had forgotten about(Also I am pretty sure I had a small panic attack because of it) which I have seen some people consider being there just to be edgy.
Exactly gantz is actually one of the anime that make you go well HOLY SH*T they all gonna die and then you're like there's absolutely no way they can beat any of the monsters in the show, they're kinda set up for failure really right from the beginning. And it's not just the monsters/aliens that seem unbeatable, but it's the way everyone dies in the show is the most gruesome messed up way possible which basically inevitable eventually like it's not a matter of when, but rather how. On top of that they show the realistic dark side of humans too which actually happens in real life too
Defining what is and isn't horror is something of a sticky wicket. At some point someone will start talking about whether or not it scared them personally, and then all rigor and impartiality goes out the window.
Doomed Megalopolis, Tokko, and Monster are some interesting horror anime.
Joey bringing up Magnetic Rose as a contender for best horror anime speaks to me, and in the same vein as that short film I would also recommend Kakurenbo Hide & Seek. That short film is another excellent ghost story with wonderful direction and visually distinct designs.
That's how you know Joey really is the Anime Man when he name drops one of Katsuhiro Otomo's greatest hits.
there is also canon fodder which is the third ep of memories the first being magnetic rose
canon fodder is pure george orwell horror
There's a few: Urotsukidoji, Perfect Blue, Le Portrait de Petit Cossette, I guess Kara no Kyoukai but not really and I don't know what else lol
Mononoke is so fucking amazing. It’s one of my absolute favorites. I love to see it getting its props!
higurashi is amazing. going into it blind is one of the most unnerving and tense experiences i've ever had watching anything.
I stumbled on it thinking it was going to be some rando school drama...
The original visual novel is better.
True. And knowing how sad and tragic it truly is, makes me feel more unnerved. Like, these kids went through hell and back.
I couldn't finish it I thought it was horrible.
@@philo2189 So you prefer the cliffnotes version of the story that is the anime?
The Nina Tucker scene in the original FMA scared the shit out of me more than any anime I've watched since then, horror or otherwise.
Part of it was probably because I was 7 at the time, but that scene lingered in my mind for weeks.
I recommend you to watch "Made in Abyss" for some more trauma... Especially for the whatever happens on episode 7 season 2.
@@mardshima2070 Nah, I've watched Made in Abyss. Read the manga too, got fully caught up a couple years ago (which I think is still ahead of the anime). Since it comes out with like 2 chapters a year, I'm basically still caught up even though I haven't read it in years.
While Bondrewd is, on paper, worse than Shou Tucker, I don't think I was ever surprised by what he did. I think it's the fact that MiA's world is so fundamentally fantastical that it feels more distant, and the horrors less horrific. FMA's world, on the other hand, is so much like our own that it borders on magical realism with it's extremely hard and defined magic system.
When something horrifying happens in MiA, it's within the boundaries of "everything is unknown, therefore anything can happen". But in FMA, you more or less know the limits of what can happen and the rules of the system, and yet something like Nina's situation can _still_ happen while making perfect sense why it did.
@@mardshima2070 I pretty much prefer Bondrewd. He's the kind of researcher and father Shou Tucker wished he could be and has numerous supporters within the setting while even more successful with his accomplishments too. It's practically memed every now and then on whoever's the "better scientist dad". In terms of horror, Made in Abyss is pretty much more prevalent with its cosmic horror. The gore doesn't overstay its welcome and the plot knows when to bring it in when needed. Season 2 also has its fair share of body horror. Fullmetal didn't really scare me because of its limits as well as because horror's far from even being its secondary or tertiary genre. Whether you find a character or story scarier than the other's up to the viewer, though.
HOTD would've been a solid horror anime, if only it didn't had fan service. Idk how but I had no shame in watching HOTD as a teenager during the morning on a Saturday eating cereal and with my mom next to me XD.
I'd say hotd is more of an action show than horror, i mean sure there are plenty horror elements. I own it on blu ray, bought it without knowing the levels of fanservice so that kinda suprised me, cuz that's not what i wanted to see 😂. I mean it's a pretty fun show but i wish the fanservice wasnt as bad as it is.
I thought Another was pretty good. It has been a long time since I watched it though, so I could be glorifying it in my head.
I really like the first half of the show, where we're actually not sure yet if only the main character can see Mei Misaki or other people too. That got some real vibe
I heavily recommend the novel if you like reading. It is very creepy and unlike the anime it keeps a good pacing/the horror tone.
My top horror anime:
-Blue Gender (Series)
-Blood: The Last Vampire (Movie)
-Blood+ (Series)
-WXIII: Patlabor The Movie 3
There's probably others but I can't think of them atm. There are so very few legit horror anime. Almost everything is just a horror veneer or theme on top of a tired action/superhero plot.
I just saw a f'ed up clip from Another when browsing, the Twitter. I was like I wasn't prepared for this. And shared it on discord going wtf. :P
As someone with glasses I am now terrified of stairs and umbrellas after another
Ngl another was pretty good for me the way the atmosphere and music played in that anime gave it such a horror feeling.
Almost every horror anime is just gore and gross things. You will hardly find something like a "Get out" or "Midsommar" in terms of horror, when the anime try to build tension and suspence to scare you. They go for the easy scare with a horrible, deformed looking creature killing someone and raping someone else.
A few do go the psychological horror route (like with Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue/Paranoia Agent, Shiki, and Serial Experiments Lain). But yeah, the majority are usually mostly gore-fests.
And unfortunately (as much as I love psychological horror art/media myself), it can sometimes be slow and/or overly pretentious at times for most audiences. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Scarshadow666I already stopped watching Western Horror movies. It's just mostly jump scares and dumber characters. I only get by when I play horror games myself where the jump scare is really justified because you're the one doing it not dumb cast you watch in a movie
You: ANOTHER.
Me: *umbrella flashback* 🙌
There is an anime called Gyo about mutant fishes attacking people on an island.
talking about magnetic rose we should also talk about the other 2 movies with it especially the third one cannon fodder it's basically george orwell's story in anime form
No one mentioned Girl From Hell? I don't know if it was scary. But I watched it like in my teens. I was disturbed nonetheless. Not sure if it holds up today.
Definitely tense atmosphere for sure.
The uncensored version of Blood-C was pretty horrifying.
Probably one of the worse representations of body horror I've seen.
Ohhhhhhh this one for sure has one of the best body horrors. Not Terror, since it has no thriller nor suspense, but the horror is there! And it's GROSS
PERFECT BLUE
School-Live! is my rec for best horror anime. Much of it is psychological, but there are some excellent scenes in it. Best to go in blind if you haven't seen it though. Hopefully one day they'll do a season 2 to finish adapting the rest of the manga.
I always forget about this show
That is such a good one! I need to rewatch it.
The OP getting progessively darker as story progresses with its lyrics having double interpretation is also gold
Honestly I think some of the Satoshi Kon stuff is pretty horrifying.
Watch dusk maiden of amnesia. The animation will spook you out.
Sound track too.
It's more of a horror romance fantasy but it will give you chills if you watch it in right condition.
I personally think these guys should review and perhaps promote Another 2001 (the sequel for the OG Another novel).
I'd really appreciate it if you do.
No mention of Cossette no Shouzou?
Higurashi has a style that I think makes it hard for a lot of people to take seriously, but I think that if you can get past that then it's the most effective horror anime out there. I think it's the only anime I've actually found scary, particularly in the early episodes.
Season 3 isn't a slice of life, it's just a two episode season with 3 OVAs that they mistakenly numbered as normal episodes. The two actual episodes of S3 are my favourite episodes of the whole show.
I did get really high before but perfect blue was by far the most unsettling anime/anime movie ive seen
People tend to forget how Re:Zero could get really scary sometimes
"Sometimes" is an understatement tbh, Re:Zero has so many psychological horror elements that it's impossible to separate it from the show as a whole (besides, y'know, all the murder and whatnot)
Man it's been like so long since I remembered SHIKI
Awww...no love for Pet shop of Horror? Mushishi? Or Vampire Princess Miyu?
What about Gegege no Kitaro or Jigoku Sensei Nu~be, introduction to more Japanese lore yokais; some of the illustrations in those 2 are very creepy
There’s no “a” in Redo of Healer 😤😤
I do agree, but i feel like there should be more crossover with h and anime. Sometimes a love making scene fits into the plot and situation of a show or movie and adds to it. Also id argue objectively the sex time is less risque than lets say killing lol which is ever prevalent in a lot of anime.
It's obviously perfect blue?
Sweet Home is a great horror webtoon. Highly reccommend.
PS: Watch/ talk about Summertime Rendering!
When I first watched Another, I felt genuine fear and suspense for the *whole* anime. The fact it practically has no jumpscares makes it even better.
There's a lot of good horror manga that I'll like to see become a horror besides junji ito mangas like the drafting classroom because that's a good horror series to read
Idk why everyone is surprised. Internet considers HORROR as a main genre that includes sub genres such as psychological horror, thriller (yes it's a sub genre) , slasher etc.
Their conversation reminds me of Usagi Drop. It started out as a down to earth manga about a man suddenly forced to be a parental figure of a young girl and the highs and lows that come with it. Then right at the end, the mask came off and it was all a farce to have a technically not incest story. New plot points were introduced in the final chapters to justify the ending and every character either broke their established personalities or were written out entirely so there would be no plot holes.
Wait WHAT how does the manga end?!?
@hommefataltaemin4677 It ends with the young girl now a teenager and starting to have feelings for her uncle who raised her. Her friends don't really care about this. Her boyfriend just leaves and is never heard from again. Her mother suddenly comes back and says her dead father was not really her father, meaning herself and her uncle are not related by blood. After a very brief consideration, the "uncle" accepts her advances and they get married. This was all done in roughly the last 5 chapters. The past 6 years of character development were not just thrown away at the last second. It was all a facade to effectively groom the audience and trick them right at the end.
They are blood related though, her dad is his granddad
Well, Another had some really good horror moments in sense of suspence, when you feel that something evil or bad gonna happen, though the anime itself wasn't scary. Another is more of a thriller, than horror, and a good one. It even didn't suppose to be an anime, because it's originally just a normal book, not even a light novel (so you don't have to imagine cartoon characthers in your head, while reading, how you do with light novels), so in this sense the movie should do better job with horror atmosphere, but I didn't watched it and heard from someone that the movie was actually bad.
dark gathering is gonna be a good one so look out for that
what about Serial Experiment Lain? I kind of think that it is kind of got horror elements but i got really unsettled by watching that
Funny enough I can handle gore and lots of scary things in anime but I started School Live and had the freak outs at the end of the first episode and I only made it 5 minutes into Another before I turned it off. I knew all the spoilers too. Tho the reason for Another was cause of the dolls that were in the start cause the one thing I can’t stand is horror movie dolls. Like dirty, missing something, porcelain/baby dolls.
Dude. What about jigoku shoujo? Hell girl be scaring the shit out of me when I was younger and it airs at fucking 12 midnight from where I’m at. They fuckin intentionally want to scare people.
Why don't people mention Boogiepop Phantom when discussing good horror anime?
Does anyone remembe Hell Girl?
Not anime but Makina's bad end in Grisaia no Kajitsu is very well done. The slow build up and eventual grasp of the situation despite only minor difference in details compared to the good end is quite the experience
The bus incident was psychological terrifying not the the typical live action of jumpscare horror ofc. But something that creeps you out and makes your heart beat faster because you know those things happen in such accidents
Psychological horror is one of the most popular horror sub genres. You can’t say it’s not a horror if it’s “psychological”.
uhmm but you also can't call it horror if it's psychological....Psychological horror is a combination of 2 genres, it requires both horror & psychological. You can't just have psychological and call it a horror, because it lacks the horror part
@@GrowingDownUnder give me something that’s psychological but not horror.

@@GrowingDownUnder of the shows I’ve seen: Death Note, FMAB, Steins;Gate, Psycho Pass, the first few episodes of Monster, and Code Geass, only Steins;Gate and Monster even approach psychological. Psycho Pass is a crime drama, Death Note is a straightforward thriller, FMA is a fantasy epic, and Code Geass is a war drama. These aren’t psychological anime, but even if they were, it would be low on the totem pole of genre.
@@thomasffrench3639 all those anime definitely have psychological aspects to the show even evangelion would be another example too. And 3 gatsu no lion...those types of anime are psychological.
Death note is psychological do you even understand the mind games played in death note? that's considered psychological because of the mental warefare they're using they have to use psychology to basically think things out a lot.
Psychological doesn't mean scary, it means all aspects of psychology really. Strategy is definitely a big part of psychology and so are real life mental health issues people struggle with. It's why evangelion and 3 gatsu no lion also considered psychological because they're more about depression and tackling those issues like anxiety too.
Code geass again, mental wareful, psychological games they're using.
Psycho pass is more about the psychological issues of criminals and the dark side of people
Mystery is a subgenre of psychology, basically any mystery is psychological by default.
crying in ito junji… also dark gathering and meikuro~
Man the topic on this really switched from horror to hanime
They always do that kind of annoying imo
I thought Madoka Magica was kinda spooky, and I’ve heard Monsted is good too but I don’t know if it’s a horror.
Not very well-known but I found the horror anime called "Kowabon" very unsettling.
Hell girl, serial experiments lain, demon prince emna (ovas), happy sugar life, housing complex c, kemonozume.
Shiki would fall on the slow burn type
I love how they always end up talking about hentie
The big problem is the classification of horror when it comes to anime. For things like Perfect Blue and Paranoia Agent, I would definitely call those horror, even though they would be closer to psychological thrillers, in the same vein as the film Jacob’s Ladder. I find this style of horror much more compelling than slashers. As far as supernatural/alien/ghost stories, these are all over anime. So to me, it’s seems more of what one would perceive as horror.
I've had this revelation myself recently:
because of the medium of anime ("cartoonish" / animated), horror is just the one genre that anime just can not do... anime simply just can not be made to be scary, no matter how hard they try, it just can not be done, directly because of the very medium that is anime
gore, brutal, gruesome, gross, disturbing, suspense, jump scares, etc, yes, but actual 'horror', no
(not sure if manga can do it or not, maybe it can, or maybe not)
I have two that I consider at least scary. Madoka Magica definitely, and well, I don't even know if this one is horror, it's a thriller but I would also put Link Click on here because it kinda messed me up at the start
I wouldn’t count Attack on Titan as a horror anime but the Titans did really freak me out
They said it already, but higurashi. BY FAR is my fav horror anime.
Perfect blue is kinda a horror. Its a slasher and a 10/10 movie
I think is more of a Psychological horror movie, than a slasher.
@@jarolwesley-ui5yq oh for sure it definitely messes with your head of what is real and what isn't but the finale definitely resorts into a kind of slasher interms of resolution.
It's gotta be Corpse Party, Shiki and Ghost Hunt.
I’m disappointed that no one mentioned hell girl
Y’all sleeping on Mieruko-chan, the ideas of seeing ghost and they kill you if the found is terrifying
Scariest anime gotta be welcome to demon school Iruma kun
Best horror never get adapted to anime, animators already hate thier lives imagine animating horror all day and how that would effect your mental.
My favorite horror anime is another, the series is so good I wish i could see more of the anime
Another is one of my favorite comedy anime
I feel like a scary horror anime did exist waaaay back like in 2007 but i can't remember jack, then again if it existed its probably because it was new to me at the time or something just like how it is with video games.
shiki and another came out 2010s
