Gyo

wide range of anime from the 90s to the mid 2000s that deal with themes of paranoia, technology, and violence. presenting that turn of the century dread.

Anime with bugs that are big or bug-like creatures that are also big.


Things to note:
🐛 We will be using a very liberal definition of "bug" here, assuming it as interchangeable with "insect," or even with "creepy-crawly" in general. It then follows that "bug-like" can mean "similar to an insect."
🐛 We will also be using a liberal definition of "big," where we count the anime as long as the bug-like creature is big for a bug, regardless of whether it is an actual bug or just a bug-like creature. If the shark is acting like a bug, it counts as big even if it stays within the normal size range for a shark.
🐛 Some of these entries toe the line or straight up do not have bugs (see the shark example), but are here because they manage to keep the spirit of big bug-like creatures. If it creeps like a bug and crawls like a bug, we will be counting it as a bug(-like creature). Specifications in the notes.


Feel free to comment or PM with suggestions for additions to the stack because I can't remember any 💚

the list mainly includes feature films over 1h20 but also some short and medium-length films/OAVs, which are also worth a watch!
