It's spelt Parasyte*

I think Devilman Crybaby is similar to parasyte, but much darker

I don't enjoy or seek out horror, so take this with a grain of salt:

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (I dropped it merely because I got too creeped out. Take that as you will.)

My absolute favorite horror is Mononoke. I can't recommend this one enough, but it's more psychological / body horror. Monster is also a good show, but not nearly as bloody as you might like it to be.

Shiki is probably the best horror anime out there. Parasyte as well. Those two had an actually good plot to go with the horror/gore, unlike something like Corpse Party which was just bloody.

Generally, I'm not a big fan of this type of anime, so it's not the sub-genre that I watched the most. Some animes like Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu, for example, I haven't watched it yet (and I intend to see it in the future), so I won't be able to give my opinion. However, if I had to choose some of those I've seen, I think Shingeki no Kyojin and Made in Abyss (although the latter is not specifically from Horror or Gore) do incredible things involving gore and horror within the narrative. Yakusoku at Neverland also deserves mention for the horror, the suspense itself, but it's not as gore as the others that people are quoting, so I don't know if it fits the topic.

Also, in my opinion, BTOOOM! it also has great merit within this genre, since it uses the gore and scenes of great traumas of the characters to provide a reflection on people in their states of nature, the return to barbarism and the wildness within the Battle Royale that builds. The first season of Tokyo Ghoul also does this well, in a way, by exploring the protagonist's clash with the Ghouls' underworld and the question of his new reality, the gradual transformation of personality, etc.

Higurashi and Bererk are gorey as well as have a very good storyline.
Also Uzumaki manga is a great horror and getting an anime adaptation as well.

To be honest, I've never watched a good horror anime
Tried another, deadman wonderland and Mirai Nikki (is it horror?) and they're all terrible
Another is easily in my top 3 worst animes, Mirai Nikki I couldn't even finish.

Can anyone recommend me a good horror show?

Maybe Shiki 😕 i think it's a decent horror anime and personnaly i enjoyed it

Angels of Death (Satsuriku No Tenshi) is obviously my baby...but it doesn't have that much gore. xD It also likes to be funny instead of scary so I cannot call it 'straight up horror' because it isn't.

One series NOBODY F*CKING TALKS ABOUT?

Night Walker.

You will like it. Vampires. Lots of monsters. Lots of gore. Lots of blood and death. But also really good characters. And it's older so that gritty look really works for horror anime.

Perfect Blue is the only horror anime which scared me only because it takes the psychological route.Most of horror like Corpse Party & Yami Shibai fail hard for trying way too much and relying on jump scares and gore.It's coming from a guy who sleeps with lights on.I am some of a scaredy cat myself.

Moved from Anime Discussion because this is a thread asking for recs.

Please don't ask for links/websites where to watch/download something, that's against the rules.

I don't watch much gore/horror anime, but here's what I think are the best anime from that genre:

1. Another
2. Serial Experiment Lain
3. Corpse Party: Tortured Souls (Twisted as ****, so what it on your own accord.)
4. Hellsing Ultimate
5. Blood-C
6. Elfen Lied (More gore than horror though)
7. When they cry (Higurashi no naku koro ni) - (Again, Gore instead of Horror, The story is pretty messed up though.)
8. Boogiepop Phantom
9. Devilman Crybaby
10. The flowers of evil

As an horror fan, The only two anime i consider as horror are Another and Corpse Party.
I can see why people consider Higurashi as an horror tho.
All the others that have been listed are just psychological mystery/thriller (Shiki, Jigoku Shoujo, Serial Experiment Lain....) or just action (Satsuriku no Tenshi, Yakusoku no Neverland....)

So if you're looking for a real horror I'm sorry to tell you that there aren't anymore shows for you out there.
While if you are still interested in psychological and action ones (that are considered somewhat as horror) all the shows that have been listed here are really good.
I'd like to add just a few:
-Ghost Hound (Psychological)
-Danganronpa (Mystery)
-Elfen Lied (Thriller)

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is a really good horror. I'd also recommend Devilman Crybaby. If you are interested in something like Mirai Nikki, I'd recommend Madoka Magica, Promised Neverland, and Erased. I don't really consider them horror but I'd recommend them if you liked Mirai Nikki since they are in the same genre.

For me, it's the three-episode "Bake Neko" arc that closes the anthology series Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales. That story spawned the Mononoke series, but I still think the original "Bake Neko" is the best of all the medicine-seller tales.

I'm guessing if you like horror, then thrillers are fine as well?? So just going to mix them** I don't really have a favorite, since it really all depends on when I watched it and either way I can never only pick one, you've already seen some of the horrors I'd say are favs of mine sooo here's a bunch that I think you might like:

Deadman Wonderland- Amusement park for a prison, with people with blood wielding abilities..

Blood + - starts slow, and takes a while to get into, but it has over 50 episodes and once you start getting into it, you'll wish there was more episodes..

Gakkougurashi!- Seems like a cutsie show, but is actually dark underneath

Happy Sugar Life - MC is a lot like Yuno.. seems like a very sick show, which it is, but it isn't exactly sick in the way that it seems in the beginning.

Hellsing - An Older anime, a classic if you ask me..

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni- Psycho people in a psycho village, very confusing, but it all makes sense in the end..

Ibara no Ou - Movie

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri - I wasn't a big fan of this, due to the main character being annoying, but it has zombies and there aren't a lot of good zombie animes out there.. (of course it doesn't compare to highschool of the dead, but you already watched that)

Magical Girl Raising Project - Magical girls gore fest.

Magical Girl Site - if you like the above one then you might like this one, personally this one wasn't as good, but if you are looking for a similar show to the above then this is it.

Mayoiga - a lot of bad reviews on this, it is about people wanting to disappear, and go to a lost village, where all kinds of nightmares await, I liked it*

Shiki - slow start, if you get past the first 5 episodes, you'll know if you like it or not, the gore part comes later in this show.

Satsuriku no Tenshi - a death maze where a young girl has to find her way out* really good

King's Game - has a survival game using phones (like mirrai nikki) but it has more gore i'd say.

Uncharted Walker - people find themselves on an island, with no idea how to escape all the deadly things that come their way (warning the ending isn't perfect..)

The Promised Neverland - Orphanage where kids are being raised as live stock... really good, but don't expect to much action*

Not sure why genocyber hasnt been mentioned, its a cyberpunk but definitely has strong horror elements and id be interested if anyone could point to an anime with gore and body horror as vivid and extreme as genocyber
