| I don't mind anime gore as long as it feels like it has a purpose/isn't just there to be like "LOOK AT THIS". For example, the gore in Perfect Blue was mostly just brief shots, but it made much more impactful when a gory moment did occur. Fantastic element of a fantastic film. Hellsing Ultimate is hella over-the-top gory, but it sells the action scenes and fits with the overall atmosphere of the series. On the other hand, Elfen Lied is an edgy eighth grader's wet dream. |

| Awe geez man~ I really agree! I love gore! But it's disappearing... And the gory anime that do exist, are shitty as hell and nothing compared to the older ones... I want good old good gore anime with good stories... |
nocoolnamedanny said: Also, i havent seen perfect blue, is it good? Really good. All of Satoshi Kon's movies (Millennium Actress, Paprika, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers) are, though Perfect Blue is the only one that has any gore/horror elements. |

nocoolnamedanny said: TheHonestThief said: Its a strange combo, but i am really fond of gore with elements of romance to it like RE Monster or Akame ga kill. And i agree with you on hellsing, nobody can pull off mindless gratuitous gore like hirano kouta (author of hellsing, drifters)I like gore as long as it has an accompanying element. Gore for the sake of gore is boring, but in something like Hellsing Ultimate I'm quite fond of it. I'm also fond of an accompanying romance element (to be fair I like romance in just about every genre there is). In regards to anime with a lot of gore, I think the romance being there just adds that extra weight that should either party die, it will be in an absolutely brutal fashion. |

| I like it if there's a good story to go along with it. Gore on its own isn't enough to carry a show for me. Look at Ousama Game, it has plenty of gore but is also a great comedy anime. |

Yeah even SnK didn't have much gore detail despite the concept... It was just a ton of blood but like no organs or anything... Season 2 had some real gore but only towards the end |
| Great comedy. Love it when a character gets stabbed a little and starts puking blood or dies because that's how the human body works. |
| if the stories good i don't care but if they are just doing it because it makes them look mature/edgy then no sorry but snuff film are not my cup of tea. im find with violence death etc but without a well constructed story its just dulll. i enjoyed deadman wonderland because its story was welll develop and has a great bit of character development in it as well and its not static character A murders everyone. (oh wait i forgot many hate character development.) another good manga that has extreme gore is Franken fran as its done in a morbid dark humor/ physiological study. (still want an anime of that manga) but ya gore for the sake of gore and little substance is just dull and not mature at all. |

| I like how the shift pointed towards how moe/SoL series is the evil behind why gore series has been on decline. You just need a few data, YT links or even MAL links, and boom~ it's a very neat shitposting thread. On that note OP, I don't really mind gore/violent series, I just lean more towards series is have a pretty laid-back atmosphere or like, "there's nothing that's gonna stop our everyday life!" kind of series. I dunno about gore manga but pretty sure there's more of it than anime. |
| I'm a horror fan in any medium so of course I like gore. However execution is still key in making it not make me scratch my eyes out. The difference between Higurashi and Umineko for example is that the former backs it up with its very paranoia inducing setting and good characters while at least the anime adaptation of the latter lacks those and other things to make it worth it and it shows in the ratings both in general as my personal one. |

| I used to be a gore fanatic for a few months a long time ago Now it just bores me and I'm not really into it. I'm into stylized violence, sure, but it doesn't have to include long scenes of limbs getting chopped slowly. I also prefer it in live-action. The illusion feels more real and it's more impact-ful. Gore in anime isn't as impact-ful, so I'm either indifferent to it or find it too distracting. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| Imma be of different mind here and say gore in anime is usually really fucking shitty. Like honestly it's animation they could do anything with it, but majority is just adding shit-ton of blood and call it a day. Few heads being shot, few limbs getting cut off, but nothing else really there so it would actually be "disturbing". Manga and Asian movies are better at it. Now for just using some gore for otherwise doesn't really interest me. Works with action heavy scenes, but those can easily go to "trying too hard to be edgy". |

| I love horror, not that big on gore on it's own but it's still satisfying to watch when I'm in a terrible mood. I just like the thrill and suspense of something unknown that might be lurking around the corner instead of straightforward brutal killings for petty reasons. Horror mixed in with supernatural and mystery is definitely the best instead of plain gore. I'm definitely not a fan of unreasonably violent characters who only enjoy killing just for the heck of it. It's more amusing to watch a perfectly sane character lose his/her mind and go insane over a character who has been a psycho from the beginning. Higurashi (manga), Another (manga), Shiki (anime, haven't read the manga yet), Blood+ (anime), Corpse Party (manga) are some that I like. Elfen Lied and Akame ga Kill is something that I dislike. |
| How I feel about it? Sure if it's about fighting and war, it'll make more sense if there is gore/violence. I just don't need shoved everywhere for no reason other than for shock value. |

| > How do you feel about violent, bloody, gore filled anime & manga. 1) I don't like blood and gore. I'd much rather watch a show where girls hit each other with attacks that shred their clothes without leaving even a scratch on their nicely exposed skin. 2) Sure, I am an adult and can handle some of that in a show I like for other reasons. Like having violence, blood and gore inflicted on people I dislike IRL. 3) But when Attack on Titan ends its first episode on a bloody massacre without giving me any actual reason to watch it, I know I'm dropping the stuff. 4) For some reason, I expect shows that are explicit in violence to be the same when it comes to sexuality. Kind of like Highschool of the Dead does it. It gives a "they live fully on the edge" feeling. When this does not happen, like when people tell me that women of Attack on Titan are always well-dressed, it makes me suspect these shows are actually just torture porn meant for evil people to enjoy when they can't find a puppy to kick or a kid to steal a candy from. nocoolnamedanny said: I have noticed a trend these last few years of less and less gore, and whole lot more of "Moe sexualized preteen schoolgirls type anime". It doesnt bother me that much as i dont watch that garbage, but i am really craving for new material. Well, times are changing. We don't get much space sci-fi now, because starships seem a lot more of a distant dream now that the space race is over. We don't get much old-school cyberpunk, because it's pretty much here, the worst predictions have not panned out, and the actual problems with technology are more like Netoge no Yome than like Ghost in the Shell. Likewise, the old age of OVA gore seems to be over. Doesn't mean we aren't getting shows like Blood-C, but it's not fashionable anymore - only people who like that stuff make that stuff. nocoolnamedanny said: and if you dont, what do you think about most anime that happen to be violent story wise? Stories about violence have always been bread and butter of storytelling. It has all the explosions, and secret powers, and conflicts. I like that. It's just that I am not a fan of good people dying, and do not find blood and gore to be adding anything to these kinds of stories. |

The thing is that Anime has minimal Gore (only blood and etc) because they are made for tv and thus aren't allowed to go all out. They are only allowed to go all out on Movies, OVAS and etc. I don't mind gore at all to be honest. |
| I don't like Splatter and Gore. One of my least favorite genres but I still do watch Animes with these Genres because I never want to judge a Anime without watching it. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| I'll watch anything so long as its not gratuitous for the sake of being gratuitous, and has well-written character. |
 |
| As long as it has a story past all the guts and gore like Berserk and Tokyo Ghoul (manga) Or just add an OP vampire and a maniacal priest then I'm fine with that too. |
| It was good but the quality severely dropped this days. |
