| (I was going to put 'shocking' instead of 'disturbing'... until I remembered that part of School Days' charm is knowing how it ends. It's hard to be shocked by what you see coming!) 1: Berserk Berserk has stellar characterization. Its characters are built up gradually over the course of the story, as well as their relationships with each other. Medieval warfare/light political intrigue, mixed with excellent characters, at its best. Then... 2: Barefoot Gen When you watch a film about Hiroshima, you SHOULD know what you're getting yourself into. And, though I was well aware what would happen, it was hard not to be disturbed by the bombing sequence where, out of nowhere, people's skin started melting off and the entire area was transformed into the hell so oft pictured by those who want to stick images alongside the definition. Not pleasant. 3: Koi Kaze There's no single scene in Koi Kaze that's good enough to be singled out and listed. Rather, the growing sense of despair as two siblings edged closer to a relationship society would never permit made me think of the entire show as disturbing. But if you want me to mention a scene, then the one at the end where the amusement park the two first met at was revealed to be closing down - further highlighting that the two's love could never be in the real world. 4: Shadow Star Narutaru Kitoh's drawings of children being depicted doing horrific things are always disturbing. But I think he topped himself when he had pre-teens bully another pre-teen girl by making her swallow worms/raping her with a test tube. And as for the bullied girl's revenge, where... ...I think the description alone will suffice. 5: School Days More disturbing than the ending itself, for me, was the big-breasted girl's psychological breakdown which occurred over the course of the series. But it isn't exactly everyday... Nice boat. I'll add more depending on the thread's activity/my memory. |
| Before death, this thread deserves a bump. No responses... seriously? :'( |
| The most disturbing anime scene I've ever seen is probably in Shigurui. Seriously. A pedophile giving himself a blowjob in the woods while thinking about little boy, who is dead. Can it get any worse? I really don't find violence that disturbing in anime. Sure blood is fun to watch, but I've never found it disturbing. |
| Ok, here goes. Not in any numerical order but here are mine. Aki-Sora: Yume no Naka Blood+ Elfen Lied Koi Kaze Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Perfect Blue Also perhaps the odd scene in Higurashi....actually no i was expecting bad things in that so i had my guard up i guess. :L |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Yosuga no Sora Gundam Seed Destiny Victory Gundam There are a lot of disturbing things in this anime but I'll pick two. |

| Elfen Lied Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Nightshift Nurses Yeah... Ghost in the Shell Green Green |
| Probably Texhnolyze. |
| Speed Grapher |
| I think the whole concept of Boku no Pico is disturbing... |
| I'm not really going to put them in an order because they all made a memorable impact... Well, Elfen Lied was pretty disturbing but... It was the Mayu's Past scene that really got to me. The puppy scene was pretty nasty too (I can't stand anything with animal abuse) but Mayu's... They really went unnecessarily far to get that point across. For some reason, Evangelion Rebuild 2.0 really disturbed me with that scene of Kurokami had one of these moments too. I mean, you know it's bloody well coming because she just mentioned seeing her twin but Christ, I thought they may flash away and show a blood splatter on the pavement, not just have the truck... collide with her like that, especially a kid. I remember being just utterly shocked. This one is the most recent, episode 14 of Shiki where Jigoku Shoujo had a couple, but Ai's death takes the cake (I would not consider this a spoiler since it's obvious she died at some point from the get-go). I'm sure there is more, I just can't think of them. |

| Perfect Blue Higurashi Garzey's Wing Kaiji Princess Tutu I'm sure there's more that I can't think of right now. |
| I'd definitely agree with you on School Days. Like seriously, the whole imagery just stained my memory and its still there even now. I also found some parts of Elfen Lied very disturbing... |
  The love never stops |
| this is weird, my mind is totally empty when I saw this thread >.>" maybe stocking and pants is the worst nightmare I know.... |
| I don't think the "nice boat" ending from Summer Days wasn't as bad as the other endings in the game. Nice dive ending: Nice saw ending: I like this one: |

Metropolis Ending: :'( sorry i don't know how to embed videos, so just a link... Totally agree on the massively epic ending I don't recall many disturbing moments from anime (I need to see more disturbing stuff lol). The only one that comes to mind would be in Monster: |
| Well I must say I really enjoy getting my mind raped by anime, but the only anime that scarred me for life was Clannad After Story. Those who have seen it know which episodes and scenes I'm talking about. I still can't shed a tear after watching it... everything else I see seems so...empty. |
Epicbrofist said: Well, pretty much everything after episode 18 (or was it 19?) was sort of disturbing to me, because of how they went ahead and completely ruined the great themes they'd brought up till then with such a contrived and childish ending.Well I must say I really enjoy getting my mind raped by anime, but the only anime that scarred me for life was Clannad After Story. Those who have seen it know which episodes and scenes I'm talking about. But granted, more annoying-disturbing than squick-disturbing obviously. Also, End of Evangelion. Another slightly disturbing/creepy one is the first part of Neo Tokyo. Particularly that trippy creepy circus procession. It's probably because they reminded me of Dali's Elephants. That's one bloody creepy picture, I should look into buying a copy sometime. |

I remember being just utterly shocked. You know, there's a scene that's practically identical in Blue Gender. Gigantic bugs do the job, instead of a truck, but the same thing happens: the lead is left watching on helplessly as a little girl is killed, right in front of him. (@ 17:40ish in this episode: http://sky7anime.net/anime/blue-gender/watch/blue-gender-episode-5) Also, FYI, that scene got inserted at the end of episode 1 in the anime butchering of Kurokami for shock value. It happened later, in the manga. |
| I find most of the characters in Aki-Sora to be very disturbing. An older sister rapes her non-blood related brother and they become a secret couple, the twin sister is a lesbian and has ungodly issues with her brother, that one girl who invites the protagonist to an orgy just to let him see her lose her virginity. The list goes on It's actually not the deeds themselves that disturb me, it's how the author tries to convince us to be OK with all these things happening. |

I haven't read the manga (Or even finished the anime yet) so I had no idea what was coming. The only thing I really know about the manga is that they traded arms instead of hearts or something... |
| The Blue Gender version was much more disturbing because, in the episode before, the little girl had got to know the lead. In Kurokami it was random. Yeah: in the anime, they made Keita far more appealing to females by throwing in a cheesy heart exchange, not having him beat-up Kuro whenever she annoyed him, not having him take money from Akane like he's her gigolo, and making him into some sort of emo who's afraid of forging bonds with others. He's a very selfish guy, in the manga, and that made him standout. (Team 'Butcher Kurokami' also reduced Keita in age: in the manga, he works as a game designer; him being college age.) |
| Elfin Lied Lucy back story with the puppy. Easy win. |

| Off the top of my head, in no particular order Higurashi School Days Mnemosyne There are definitely more, but I cannot remember enough details to warrant posting. |
Will you be able to do.... what must be done? |
| ehehe Chains of Lust Higurashi Mnemosyne Elfen Lied Hellsing Ultimate |
 |
| Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Pretty much everything. Rena and Mion at Keichi's door with the needle dumplings, Rena trying to break into his house when his parents are away and having her hand slammed in the door, the moment you first find out Rena's a psycho, her eyes change and she becomes so much darker. Hats off to ol' crazy Shion later too. School Days - The ending, although it was so good to watch justice finally get served. Ghost Hunt - There was a ghost with red eyes that stared at the main character through a window, and later appeared down a well too. Welcome to the NHK - The first episode was just trippy. Talking fridges and whatnot. Mushishi - There were a few disturbing stories in this anime. The one about the fungus children springs to mind. |
