bladegash 05/02/24 10:30:09 PM #1:	Some stuff without the over the top comic relief. I loved Demon Slayer but things like Zenitsu's overly dramatic ass really makes me lose interest. I loved Berserk but disliked Puck and Isidro. I liked AoT, shit was dead serious from start to end. Chainsaw Man had potential but i couldn't stay interested. Not even bc of the comic relief as it wasn't so exaggerated as other anime tend to have, and the 'mature' aspect was fine too. Anyways hit me with ur lists. I want dark fantasy settings, little to no comic relief, struggle and strife, basically a souls borne sekiro ring type anime. Old or new, doesn't matter. --- Snappin necks & Cashin checks <cite>bladegash posted [p:980212917] in Whats some... [t:80761066]...</cite> <quote>Some stuff without the over the top comic relief.

BDSMKane 05/04/24 11:12:27 PM #22:	Ill admit I get bored by gore fest anime that seem like theyre trying too hard to be edgy, which is what I classify Hellsing as. Im more into whats classified as psychological horror or psychological thriller. Attack on Titan for example was great because it wasnt just scary or bloody, it introduced terrifying imagery and ways to die. So thats where my list is coming from. Madoka Magica: looks are deceiving, watch the 3 movie series for the complete story arc Psycho-Pass: season 1 is amazing, and 2 was good, but skip season 3 (one of the most disappointing seasons of any anime Ive seen) Mirai Nikki: survival game anime with a yandere main character, which is someone who is obsessed with you in a psychopathic way Parasyte: the others are correct, this one is pretty dark and also very deep Death Note: maybe no one else mentioned it because it was too obvious Drifters: I really enjoyed this one, but dont expect a conclusion --- No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different. <cite>BDSMKane posted [p:980244800] in Whats some...

reincarnator07 05/05/24 1:12:07 PM #27:	Another vote for Madoka. Either the show or the first 2 movies, then watch the third movie if you want more. Fate/Zero (Fate/Stay Night is good too, but only Heaven's Feel I think is the sort of dark you're after which won't make sense without the others) A lot of Gundam is actually rather dark, with Iron Blooded Orphans being one of the darker shows AND standalone. Eighty-Six is great, but is another mecha. --- Fan of metal? Don't mind covers?
