Ghostony said: Red_Keys said: I have a similar question, and hopefully this doesn't derail the thread or anything.. But how do you people feel about a lack of gore? The Tiaga gif avatar made me think of this one, so thank you jimbob1141 lol. But anime with tsundere characters, although it's not exclusive to tsunderes, tend to have a lot of physical violence, specifically with the main protagonist being the victim. But this violence is usually done for comedy, and the "gore" is kept to a minimum, replacing things like fractured bones, facial bruising, split lips, black eyes, concussions, internal bleeding, etc, with cartoony bandages, bumps, and hand prints. The affect is, in my opinion, distasteful, as it creates a facetious outlook on physical domestic abuse. But I want to know your opinions. Thoughts? Watch dokuro chan Dat piece of crap can't be called anime. |

| I welcome gore and blood if its a tasteful incorporation into the story. I don't think it should be the centerpiece of the plot though. |
Ghostony said: Believe me I have. I watched the whole damn thing.Watch dokuro chan I just put it on my dropped list, because that is where this fucking cruel piece of shit belongs. Disgusting show. This is actually the on the opposite spectrum of my question. Excessive violence and gore for the sake of laughs. |

|
| It doesn't bother me unless that's the only thing the show has to offer. A good example would be Hellsing where it just banked on gratuitous violence and gore and suffered everywhere else. |

BlackSabotage said: FreakyTy said: Have you seen Urotsukidoji? I think thats the best and most depraved super gore anime.I think there is no where near enough of it. Honestly every gory show I've seen so far I've pretty much loved. I think you are referring to the part where Other than that part in the third episode, the rest of Urotsukidoji's violent scene cannot match the extreme and insane levels in Violent Jack and Genocyber. XD |
| I remember that one scene in Bakemonogatari That hurt me to watch. And it was just downright disheartening that half the comments for that episode were "LOL" or the like. It was an interesting scene artistically, I'll give it that. But not funny in the slightest. |

Paul said: I can't say I'm very fond of extreme gore. When it comes to intestines and other internal organs hanging/falling out, it's a bit too much for me. Not saying I can't watch it, but it isn't something I'll watch for personal enjoyment. Though these days, they're pretty rare. Most recent I can think of would probably be Blood C and I believe Muv Luv has some pretty intense gore. Paul pretty much summed up my thoughts. I'm not a huge fan of it, but if it's done well, it does add to the overall atmosphere. But if it's just sort of overdone and excessive, I tend to dislike it. |

I wonder if the "completely" uncensored version existed? :( Also, since you mentioned Violent Jack. I wonder why OVA2 is not consider as one of those Gory "Hentai" titles like Urotsukidoji made in the 80s/90s? Hell. There's even an uncensored Hong Kong VCD licensed release of Violent Jack OVA2 where they totally remove the mosaic in some scene. I want to find out this Hong Kong licensed version, but no luck. :( http://www.kentaiblog.com/2008/09/kentai-blog-earns-its-adult-tag-today.html |

Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: 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 |
| It doesn't bother me. One of my favorite manga is Dorohedoro, after all. Depending on how it's executed it can make a supposedly serious show seem kind of cheap and gimmicky, and/or unintentionally funny (like the end of Blood C) though. General rule of thumb IMO is it should usually be quick, brutal, and not be irrelevantly tacked on. |
| Lol ironically I've recently watched blood-c and it kinda made me......sick. Gore is good depending on how it's done I suppose. I mean Hellsing Ultimate is.......fucking awesome. |
IntroverTurtle said: If it's realistic or not that much then I don't mind and think it fits. But excessive gore is just useless and disgusting. I would rather watch shows without gore but for some stories I put up with it for the story.. Yeah, I usually don't like stuff that has excessive amounts of gore just for the sake of having gore, but if it has a good story, I'll usually put it up with it. |
 |
| the only gorey animes I've watched so far is elfen lief and mirai nikki but there's probably way more out there, and you'd probably think the ones I mentioned are a joke Although, it's interesting to watch gorey scenes in anime |
 |
| It depends, I don't mind gore unless there is just a gratuitous amount of it for no good reason like in Claymore, or Deadman Wonderland. |

By the way. I haven't read the Go Nagai's Violent Jack manga yet. Is the manga also censored like in its anime adaptation? ZetaZaku said: I only like old school gore OVA.

I like the old dark bloody violent classics from 80s/90s too.

By the way Apocalypse Zero is one of those crazy violent old schooler I watched . XD |

| With all my mild sociopathy morbid curiosity, I love gore - but not when it's totally ludicrous. A normal punch to the head isn't going to decapitate, and a normal sword blow won't cut a person in half. There has to be a good reason for a gibfest. Gore for gore's sake is just boring, and rude. |
Snake_tartareMar 27, 2013 8:41 AM
| Gore just to be edgy isn't needed. |
 |
| Gore for the sake of gore isn't really worth anything. I like Berserk for the story and character depth. Every now and then I like watching Guts take out 100 guys, but that's not what makes that paticular anime for me. Another violent show I like is Afro Samurai, but I like it for the style mainly, not just blood and body parts. However, I hate Shigurui Death Frenzy, a show that makes you as uncomfortable as possible. So overall gore isn't a bad thing, but it shouldn't make an anime what it is. |
| Gore makes everything better. I like it in some movies too, but I can't say that I'd watch an anime just for it. I remember my parents were horrified by Happy Tree Friends and in my mind I was like: "Must resist the urge of showing then Genocyber..." There's also a downside to it. People might think it's dangerous and blame a certain anime for some random bloody event that might happen. Every time there is a shootout in some USA highschool people rush to blame it on music, movies etc. I wonder if anime was ever used like this in Japan. |
If you are a fan of (or simply interested in) Japanese films then please join the Cinema of Japan club! Thank you (: |
| I dont consider red paint to be actual gore |
| i loovvee it, its pretty much the entire reason i started watching anime. Im not sure why but i find cartoon violence wayy more exciting then movie violence |
 |
| I like the part where the head explodes and happiness starts to fly everywhere. |
