| Why aren't there any more gory shows? I feel like the amount of gore from the 90s-00s is as much as the amount of nudity in today's Anime. Is it illegal to make shows like Elfen Lied now? Well there is a fairly new Anime that is gory and that is Corpse Party but it's only an OVA and not released for television. WHAT HAPPENED? |

| Isn't there an anime from the previous season that has gore? Dunno. Probably just a change in business. |

| I'm too lazy to look up any sources but Japanese TV has become stricter recently with showing gore. It could be related to real life violence in Japan (for example, what happened with the ending of School Days) or some other reason but anime nowadays that has gore is heavily censored for TV broadcasts. The only recent example I can think of is Tokyo Ghoul. While it was airing, the blood was turned black for most scenes or they would just black out a majority of the picture. Because of that it kind of makes sense that not as many are being made for TV. But like the above poster pointed out, few are still being made.. |
| i dont think it was that many gore in 90-00.. |

|
| Inuyashiki had a fair amount of gore. |
| Watch Devilman crybaby from this season it's done! It has tons and tons of gore, gore, gore porn and more gore! Thanks to Netflix not censoring thier exclusive stuff, unlike most of Japan's TV networks |
| HACKs! ๐คข๐คฎ |
| Devilman crybaby was not just violent, it was more violent than any iteration before it in an already infamously brutal series. I feel like if you took a sip everytime someone got dismembered in that series youd die of alcohol poisoning. Yeah maybe you could argue the art style offsets that cause its more styalized, but hell no you see people getting their guts strewn, heads exploding, getting sliced into multiple piece, devoured, and all that pretty consistently. Anime violence just isnt as prevalent because of censors and OVA's dying out, but its been that way since the mid 90's. The hyper violence of stuff really only came from 1980's ova's that bled out in the early 90's. The really violent stuff was the big outliers, even today there are some really gory things out there, 18if's 2nd episode and weirdly only its 2nd episode, inuyashiki was fairly violent though much less than gantz, shiki last 8 episodes were essentially covered in blood and people having their heads smashed in, parasyte was full of dismemberment and body horror, and above all else devilman crybaby cause jesus christ that show was so fucking gory. romagia said: very early 90's there was, but not much. On TV fuck no there was less than there is now. later half of the 90's was when anime was putting alot of focus on more realistic movements in the more mature movies and shows of the time leading to blood getting toned way the fuck down mostly. i dont think it was that many gore in 90-00.. |

Tsukeru-kun said: You cant show dismemberment in a japanese game or you get the equivalent of the adults only rating. Alot of games censor their original release when going stateside to avoid this, resident evil 7 is a good recent exampleFor example in games too violent games don't become a rating where in most countries you can go ahead with +18. |

| Less focus on OVAs for a market base which had very little limits on content. I would also argue there hasn't really been a shift in the amount of nudity or if any it's likely lesser due to the limitations of broadcasts regarding censorship and again a shift from OVA focused markets. I mean with modern censorship the scenes themselves may be more lewd but the amount of Nudity as a result of the censoring would be less than say an original Gundam series. |
Tsukeru-kun said: to be fair its kind of weird elsehwere too with the reverse happening. Case and point tales of berseria almost got the M rating here and higher pegi ratings elsewhere cause one of the early scene depicts a child being stabbed with a sword. They had to edit the scene to this weird magic attack that ironically looks more brutal to avoid the rating increaseJizzyHitler said: You cant show dismemberment in a japanese game or you get the equivalent of the adults only rating. Alot of games censor their original release when going stateside to avoid this, resident evil 7 is a good recent example Yeah t's so ridiclous of japanese government bein so censor heavy. I mean they censor even their own original games in original country, and in another country you can have that game uncensored. ^^''  on top of that, theres stuff like the swastika being outright banned in certain countries so hilariously games like wolfenstein and cod ww2 remove it alltogether for a ton of releases. Theres odd censorship everywhere |

| Well it could be since the majority of seasonal shows nowadays are slice of life and school-based comedy shows, more intended for 'less mature' audiences, whereas back then there were more 'adult' shows. Plus, SoL is generally more popular now then other genres, which means that creators will tend to make more series' revolving around those genres I don't know about you but it'd be weird to see a slice of life filled with gore That being said, it's not like gore is completely gone yet. Monogatari series (Especially the prequel movies) has a lot of gore in them and they're relatively new |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I feel like in terms of TV anime though violence has always been pretty consistent. I cant really even think of that many R rated anime from the 80's for TV anime cause alot of them were aimed at children though fanservice was far more prominent and nudity heavy. Violent imagery almost always seemed deligated towards movies and ovas |

| Seriously?? -_- I was under the impression that anime became more and not less gorey after 2010, i mean, nowadays a lot of anime is rated R - 17+ and up for violence, don't those have a lot of gore? Before 2010 gorey anime was mostly restricted to Ova's/Movies was it not? Television anime was seldom rated above PG-13 - Teens 13, and most anime censored gorey stuff from the manga, like, compare the level of violence of the old Fullmetal Alchemist and D.Gray-man to Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood and D.Gray-man Hallow, who are much more gorey than their previous ataptations. Didn't gore in anime become the norm with stuff like Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, Mirai Nikki, Psycho Pass and etc.? |

| So your saying there's different levels of gore? Makes sense, since some anime are not consistently gorey, like Owari no Seraph who got toned down after a while. |

| What happened to dark, mature and NOT over the top action anime? There are no more Bebops, Black Lagoons, Jormugunds. The same applies here, it doesn't sell anymore. |
 |
| I would love to see more gorey anime, I know theres been a few some of them are really cool some not so much. Im sure there's still some hidden one around |
| Gore anime are usually pretty bad, so good that there is less of them. |
 |
| It got killed by kid friendly, try reading the source materials most of the time they still have the gore. |
Vorpality said: Black Lagoon is over the top action anime and looking at Jormugunds' cover, how the characters are clustered, how the white long haired character smiles I wouldn't be surprised this was over the top action as well.What happened to dark, mature and NOT over the top action anime?

| Higurashi, Another, Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied Is it that hard to find animes that suit you? There are probably more than that but I dont know much shows yet |
 |
| I think you need to watch Devilman: Crybaby. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I guess a lot of studio execs want their shows to air in the best time slots, which won't allow for explicit content. This is why a lot of today's royally fucked up content is relegated to OVAs and ONAs. |
Take care of yourself |
IdleSolution said: Higurashi, Another, Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied Is it that hard to find animes that suit you? There are probably more than that but I dont know much shows yet Done w/ all of that. I'm just hoping producers would make more gory shows even just short OVAs (plot shouldn't be terrible though) |

| We literally just got Devilman Crybaby... Still complaining? |

| we literally got devilman crybaby and afaik blame and blade runner had decent gore we had adaptation of king's edge game last season so Vorpality said: What happened to dark, mature and NOT over the top action anime?

Also theres alot more mature series that dont need to get dark to be matures such as the recent rakugo, which has a few very dark moments but is ultimately a true to life slice of life tragedy. |

| Made in Abyss was pretty gory and that came out half a year ago |
| There's still a lot of gory anime being made, maybe not to the level of 90's OVAs but making those kinds of OVA now aren't very smart if you're looking for substantial profit. |

| Only modern anime I would call gory is "corpse party" and maybe "another". Mirrai nikki is just bloddy same as the rest of them. Gore is more like Genocyber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXZ2bTigdGY |
