I've watched Mirai Nikki and quite recently BTOOOM! and thoroughly enjoyed both series, especially due to the factor that neither was that censored on the killing or other gruesome aspects to Survival and fear that is attached along with it.

It seems to bring a more realistic feel to anime for me, especially in Survival series. I want to get some recommendations based off of this. Note that I largely liked most characters in both series that I've mentioned above and I think the pacing was good too.

Lastly, if anything else does give a good indication of the kind of anime I may enjoy based off of art/pace/characters-types from other series, read my anime list:

At this time I'm only really looking for Survival anime or similar.

I can only remember 3:

Mujin Wakusei Survive -> it is a childish anime but it was exciting and heart-warming. But it may not be your type.

High School of the Dead -> Zombies, but it's very bad imo.

Bokurano -> Maybe your best shot.

I think you'll like Bokurano. It's not very gory, but it's extremely cruel.

You should try Gantz as well. I haven't seen this one myself, but a friend recommended it to me and I think it'll fit your liking.

Higurashi somewhat. It only sort of fits after Season 2 explains stuff.

You can recommend manga, I'm not forcing anyone not to, but I tend to not keep up with manga as well as anime which is the main reason I said anime for now. Feel free to drop me some titles though!

Thanks blessofcurse/Kirie for your suggestions.

Fate/Zero I've already watched, wasn't too bad but I felt a little lost. Shingeki no Kyojin also watched and loved and with Shinsekai Yori I feel I dropped it prematurely and has been on my list to return to.

Thanks for your time. :)

+1 for Danganronpa, Gantz, Deadman and HoTD. Just remembered of Devil Survivor, it's a ok show but I guess it fits in what you're looking as well. ;)

If manga is okay, try Keiko Suenobu's "Limit". It's a shoujo, but good.
