• «Perfect Blue, and there's no doubt that Midori is too».
• «School Days was recommended to me as a romance anime when I first started watching anime. I was screwed.».
• «I don't know, probably "Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku (Now and Then, Here and There)". I've never seen a more depressing isekai than this one.».
• «The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace is so fucked up.. still waiting for season 2».
• «Made in Abyss, without a doubt. Brutal to watch, but an amazing anime, it's so unexpected from the beginning, that you don't even imagine it's going where it's going, but it leaves you speechless».
• «Devil Man Cry Baby screwed me over. It was good, but my life would have been better if I had never seen it.».
• «In high school, I used to buy unrated Suncoast anime at the mall and get away with it because 'it's just a cartoon, nothing bad happens in cartoons'. Well, I bought Wicked City and I still have WTF flashbacks to some of the things in it. Maybe I need to watch it again because it might not be as bad as I remember.».
• «Definitely Pupa».
• «Narutaru and maybe Bokurano».
• «I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Shinsekai Yori, probably because it's so good, but wow, I've seen everything mentioned in these comments and this anime is still a nightmare to think about. The past, present and future of this story are fucked up; the protagonists and antagonists are fucked up; of course the deaths are also fucked up. Every bit of this anime is a big bad feeling. 10/10 I recommend it».
• «Elfen Lied, without a doubt».
• «Have you ever seen a show where a group of kids get stabbed mercilessly while screaming “it hurts”? I have. It’s called Corpse Party and it’s horrifying.».
• «All Legend of the Overfiend OVAs».
• «Texnolyze».
• «Higurashi when they cry. Children inflicting such traumatic violence on each other was very disturbing, so I had to leave it.».
• «The Grisaia series, especially the Amane route, traumatized me for days. Just thinking about it now gives me chills.».
• «Happy Sugar Life, seriously, you mentioned things like Re:Zero etc. but not Happy Sugar Life? What?!».
• «Urotsukidoji was deeply disturbing. Lovecraftian tentacled demons raping and murdering high school students, all to unleash a demon that would unite the demonic, animal, and human worlds.».
• «Berserk (I'm new for now)».
• «I'm sorry to say (and I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention this on this forum), but Redo of a Healer is basically anime rape. It's just... yikes.».
• «Made in Abyss Season 2. Why the hell did I watch this?».
• «Blood-C was very screwed».
• «Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies). It deals with the consequences for a Japanese man after his city was attacked in a war. I recommend it to everyone. It is a great movie.».
• «Magical girl website. The puppy game was something I didn't need to know about, but then a girl getting stabbed in the throat with a broken bottle, it's a mess since episode 1, but I checked it out after that».
• «Genocyber».
• «Gantz was shit. Elfen Lied was also honest. I also think some scenes in Tokyo Ghoul were heavy (end of the first season)».
• «Ghost Stories made me say wtf more times than necessary and laugh out loud with its dark and not so politically correct humor.».
• «May I suggest Madoka Magica? It's a completely normal magical girl anime. PERFECTLY NORMAL».
• «Devilman Crybaby, it's pretty fucked up, but it's still good».
• «I wouldn't dare say it's the MOST, but I think a lot of people don't give it the credit it deserves; A;Zero. To us viewers, it's nothing more than Subaru dying again, "let's add 1 to the death counter", but to Subaru, well, can you legitimately imagine dying even once through a brutal death? That's pretty scary. People are scared of some random guy on the street with a knife, imagine how bad it would be to not only die from that random thing, but then come back to life and die 48 other horrible and painful deaths on top of that. Personally, I would have given up WAY sooner than Subaru did. I would have said, fuck this shit, I'm going to hide in a hole somewhere».
• «This movie is amazing, and there's a lot of meaning behind it. After the end of the original Evangelion, the creator received several death threats due to the optimistic ending of the original Evangelion, with the last 2 episodes basically being months of therapy condensed into two anime episodes. Shinji being horrible and someone who only knows how to hurt others (masturbates watching Asuka, trying to hang her neck after the "end of the world") is a reflection of the public's reaction to his original work. In the movie, they even show some real-life scenes with people watching a movie in the theater, showing some people cosplaying as Evangelion characters, and showing pictures of the threats. All to show that "we try to be optimistic and say 'life sucks, but it has its good side', but if you're screwed, fuck that shit. "Is this what you wanted?"».
• «I didn't see it, but my boyfriend saw Euphoria and then it wasn't the same».
• «Yosuga no Sora, without a doubt».
• «Probably a remake of Healer».
• «The first one is Devil Man Crybaby. I had no idea what was going on. The second one was RahXephon. I know a lot of people are putting NGE, but at least I knew what was going on.».
