I ended watching Shiki now, and I watch it alone in the dark room because I though it was scary, but at the end I felt disappointed because it was not scary...

Shiki is a horror anime so it's supposed to be scary, whether to determine if it's scary or not, is up to you

I was never really scared while watching it, watching it in the dark doesn't really make a difference with Shiki.

It really depends on how you define scary.

What is scary to you?

Shiki isn't a "cat jumps in front of the camera" kind of scary. You're not going to jump out of your seat watching it in the dark. It's the ideas and messages it conveys that are truly scary, especially as it nears the end.

Scary would be when you can't sleep after watching it, or you'r heart go crazy along with you'r adrenaline.

Give an example of an anime that you watched where you couldn't sleep.

It's not scary, but it gets creepy at times. Essentially, it's all about build up and atmosphere. It's less "oogaboogaboo" scary and more of a "okay, something's seriously wrong here" type of thing.

It probably wasn't intended to be, since they present the story from a more holistic approach. Rather than horror, this leads to a more thought provoking story.

No. Was that perhaps your experience with it? I mean, I just used the word disturbing since I found that's the closest anime usually gets to being scary for me. In actuality I felt indifferent towards it.

boku no pico was very soft core by most people's standards. the reason there is so much hate on the show is because it is a gay relationship. i mean imagine of boku was female; it would be treated the same as any other hentai

as long as you say away from hitmen, kiddy porn and terrorist forums (just the super illegal things in general) there is nothing to fear about browsing the deep web.

That's because you don't know the difference between horror and terror as many people, many people classify animes bad because they don't know the diference as well, horror is a diferent kind of fear, is a fear related to physical fear, like being tortured, so horror is more a fear of being killed, and is more related with disturbing images, like blood, fingers being cuted, so horror is a fear produce by the physical pain of yours or others, like when you see someone with a wound, you can ''feel'' the wound even if is not yours.

But terror is a fear of the mind, is psycological, normaly is a fear of things you don't see, like ghosts, terror is the feeling that you feel every time that you think about death, not about being killed, but about the fact that you gonna die, and you start to fear whats after. So terror is the fear of unknown.

In movies horror are saw, final destination. movies that you see macabre things
In movies terror are mama, the missing call, the eye, the ring, etc normaly ghost things

In anime is the same. In fact i don't think i ever seen an terror anime, terror is the one that makes you jump, and terror for me is the one that makes me fear the dark. Most of the animes are horror, for terror better watch movies.

I'ts horror because of all the killing, but it was definitely not scary. Only thing that was scary was Shizuka Matsuo because of how she acted.
