is there a really good yet dark anime out there? not dark like higurashi but something that shows how corrupt society is. i just finished this romance manga and i actually cried a couple times throughout the story because i just wish my life was like theirs and i got so unbelievable jealous of them (i know this sounds like an exaggeration but i really did) so i want something really dark that will make me forget about it.

i like death note and berserk and stuff like that for dark. nothing too cruel that shows people getting tortured alllll the time (if it happens every now and then for the sake of the plot then it's fine)

soukyou no fafner dead aggressor, it can be lighthearted at points but it always rings it tragic head around sooner or later to ruin everyone day, very bleak series. Has a sequel airing right now that looks like its gonna finish off the rest of the surviving cast just to add onto the tragedy.

mobile suit gundam war in the pocket is one of the harshest and most brutal looks at the consequences of war(and yes its standalone you need no knowledge of the other installments), its first half is very calming and fun but the second half will break you, its only 6 episodes long but is one of the best stories ive seen in an anime, despite the old age the production values are outstanding and outdoes many movies.

Likewise if your ok for a long one LOTGH is a extremly depressing and bleak show, it is one of the best showcases of corrupt society cause the show has 2 protagonist which you shift perspective between with both of them being on oppossite sides of a war, you get to see the corruption in democracy as well as a totalitarian government as well as how the shifting advantage of a war affects both sides.

gungrave is definetly a really dark show that will kick you while your down, (skip episode 1 btw it spoils the entire show and isnt needed to understand the story at all, just keep in mind it is a sci fi series) Has one of the most depressing but memorable endings ive seen to a show



Now for the all time champion of suffering and misery
now and then here and there

i wont even describe this show, the harshness this show portrays is simply ridiculous. I dont recall any torture scenes but really everything the character go through can only be described as torture.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

boku no pico? it just looks like some romance anime between two guys. i'm assuming it's disturbing instead of dark since the kid dresses like a girl and probably does some weird stuff with the guy but idk... looks weird lol is it just one episode?

i will definitely try out rainbow though that looks awesome. same with gungrave

Don't let the first couple of episodes throw you off by its comedy.

A character for you, OP.

By the time you get done watching the show, between her and Satoko Houjou, you'll probably have a hard time deciding who got the shittier end of the stick called life.

shinsekai yori (fantasy, dark atmospheric anime, takes a while to get what is sooo dark about it, but you get just a few small pieces at the beginning, like at the end of the 1st ep the background voice says " And after a few weeks i have never seen her again".
