Horror Anime (556)

Creating—and maintaining—a sense of dread in the audience takes priority, eliciting shock, fear, or disgust through atmosphere and frightening scenarios. Mood must be of equal or greater importance than setting and characterization in horror stories. Almost always, the main cast will be under constant threat of danger.

Many stories can incorporate elements of horror as a plot device to unnerve the audience, but the overarching narrative must be focused on evoking and maintaining apprehension to be Horror. Contrast with Suspense where the audience craves to know what will happen next rather than fearing it.

Arikitari Heroes is an original song featuring Hatsune Miku, GUMI, Kagamine Rin, and MAYU. It is the fifth song in the Bookmark of Demise Project. It can be interpreted as an answer song to the four earlier songs in the project, because it contains events from those songs. Events include A-ya playing hide and seek alone, C-ta's murder of A-ya, D-ne's imitation of B-ko, and A-ya and C-ta's childhood memories. After getting a couple words from each participent in the Demise Game, it opens upon the group play Kokkuri-san to summon the Bookmark of Demise. (Source: Vocaloid Wiki)

The expression of emotional desire called love. Everyone is an individual whose spirit and soul cannot be bound. The emotion between people leads to good and bad results, happiness or misery. In the river of natural life, it is the stream injected halfway and the water vapor evaporated halfway. Two very strong individuals, whether they are right or not, whether they need to be morally criticized, whether they need to be examined by us, in the end, death, rebirth, corruption are all part of the river.

In a town of South-East Asia, at night, a Yakuza is facing a bloody conflict with local gangs. During the fight, he encounters with a ghost called Krasue (pronounced Gasoo), a flying woman head with her guts exposed, and is followed by her because of his blood's taste. Their battle eventually leads them to the depth of a dark and damp maze-like jungle, where boundaries between humans, animals and ghost seem to fade. With a howling noise, "BOY MEETS GIRL" metamorphoses into "Encounter with another species." (Source: New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival)
