Dark anime, with lots of plot twists and mindfucks if possible. Thought provoking, disturbing and upsetting stuff. Those characteristics listed in the title aren't exactly requirements, more like hints on what I consider dark. Controversial subjects are great too, I can stand everything: rape, pedophilia, torture, kidnapping, pain, incest, twisted things, etc. I believe things can only be positively triggering. :)

I'm into stuff like texhnolyze and perfect blue. Paranoia agent was very enjoyable as well.

I wouldn't call Another disturbing, however. The gore was only mediocre and it couldn't make up for the lacking story/plot. (gore is always a plus, though!)

Yes, that's my no. 1 favourite anime. It would have been amazing if I haven't watched it already, though. xD

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro has the main antagonist of this show fits the description.
Not a dark anime (at all) but both antagonist of Law of Ueki, fits the description.
Level E it's a comedy but the MC fits most of those described.

You watched all of the one I think completely fits the bill lol.

Please don't make me fall in love with the antagonist of any anime, because they all die eventually and I'll be left totally DEAD as always.

I'm interested in the first one.

Narutaru and Tokyo Tribe are the only ones I can think of that you either haven't watched or hasn't been suggsted already.
Just the cruelty in these titles are pretty disturbing. I can suggest some other plain gore anime, but that doesn't exactly seem to be what you're looking for..

That calls for Kumagawa (Medaka Box)

though the anime may disappoint you, because he only appears 1 and a bit episodes at the end of season two (and it's not exactly what you seek in terms of the overall setting :'D)..the manga is instead highly recommended

I see you like sci-fi, Mnemosyne does have a lot of if not everything you asked for, it is only 6 episodes long but they are 45 min long. If you liked Texhnolyze this is a good one, although they have different paces, I thought it was really cool the way Mnemosyne has diffferent amounts of time pass in between each episode & the mc's stay the same while their surroundings change

I second Black Lagoon & Berserk

The idea of having a student council is so overdone in my opinion, and to be honest, it looks more like comedy to me, but I'm willing to read more about it to see if it's for me. Thank you!

Asura - definitely
Jormungand - political
Level E - main character is a troll
Nabari no Ou - Yoite is the character you're looking for here
Togainu no Chi - not much of an anime, but has bloodthirsty characters
Peacemaker Kurogane - historical, has some creepy scenes when it's become serious
Zettai Karen Children - Hyoubu Kyousuke (he's crazzzzyyy)

If you've like Pandora Hearts and D. Gray-man, I take you have nothing against prettier characters as well, so I have also given you some of those ;)

I tried not to spoil stuff, so I don't explain much :(

Thanks a lot for recommending Jormungand, and the other anime too of course! I think people have been recommending this to me for a long time but I keep forgetting about it. I mistook that white haired woman for a bishounen. It's really too bad she's not a man. (I've got some kind of fetish for white haired male characters, I think.)

Try an anime called Kite.

It's really fucked up especially sexually ( Grown men are having sex with underage girls)

Kind of regret watching it even lol

Try Speed Grapher. Corrupt politicians in a fucked up organization and pretty decent plot.

Black Lagoon.
The taboos have been mild down by the kick-ass action, but the characters tend to be disturbing when their history (murder, rape, incest) is considered.
