| It's simple really. Since there's demand for violent and gory shit the market delivers. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Some people like violence and brutality. |
| They wouldn't make it if there wasn't audience for it. I guess that answers your question. |
| Because there is a market consisting primarily of teenage edgelords willing to consume the brutal and gory anime. Capitalism. Simple as that. |
| better question: why havn't been any shows like that in ages? there's a huge drought. |

| Because we need really mature series like Akame Ga Kill and Deadman Wonderland. |
 |
| Because violence and murder are fun and not boring. |
 |
| you mean why there aren't more brutal and gore animes :D |
 |
| Because there is demand for it so naturally there is supply. Edge just like sex sells. |
Supply and demand, my friend, it's just basic economics.  There is anime for all types of tastes including those adults like myself who like a little ultra-violence now and then. |

| cuz it's just a splattering thing to watch |
| I mean, the most brutal anime you can ever imagine its still more normal than Kill la Kill for example. |
nyugvo6 said: better question: why havn't been any shows like that in ages? there's a huge drought. That is exactly my thought. the last good one was Goblin slayer. and mainly because of Ep 1 xD |
| Supply and demand. Someone made one and it was popular enough that it seemed like a good idea to make more. Same reason why there's any other type of anime. If you don't like them then don't watch them. |

| Some people like that kind of stuff. |
| Which anime do you specifically have in mind? I can't think of anything I've seen that is just violent for the sake of being violent. If there is violence it usually has plot purposes and thematic relevance, as it ideally always should. I really couldn't care less about watching violence or gore in anime or any media content though. It's one of those things where I can understand logically and intellectually why it might bother some people, but it isn't something I personally can relate to whatsoever. When I was 9 - 10 years-old I got obsessed with watching horror films and tracking down every horror film worth mentioning out there - including old, foreign, and underground/indie stuff, and so have been extremely desensitized to any depictions of violence in media since I was at least 10. Also, both in history and contemporary times, there is so much extreme violence and chaos happening and having happened somewhere on the planet basically every second of every day, 24/7 in real life, that I find it logically difficult to really even feel moved, perturbed, or otherwise affected by violent content in media. I'm just numb to it. I neither seek out nor avoid a series even a single iota due to violent content or lack thereof. It's just a part of a story that's utilized and relevant to some and not to others. It's the story ultimately that's most important, so I don't really even think twice of switching freely back and forth between G-rated and X-rated-level content in violence, sex, or any other sphere, without reservations, as long as the story itself interests me. |

| Short answer: because why not? Longer answer: A) Sometimes it is simply because someone likes to be edgy, either the mangaka/ the creators of the show or the audience. There is a pervasive but often wrong perception that something that's gory and bloody is also automatically mature and for grown-ups. B) Sometimes it might be simple artistic expression. C) Gore generally provides a safe space to explore themes of a dark nature because whatever happens only happens in the anime and no one in the real world is affected. Even though the watcher is exposed to extreme situations like death, dismemberment, rape etc. they are still and always in full control and can choose to not continue watching the anime at any time, safe in the knowledge that they and their loved ones are fine. It is also a way to test personal limits and in some cases it is also a certain exploration of evil, the monster, the other and the desire to understand, for example Shiki, Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul. D) It might also be a necessary plot element to tell a compelling story. Shingeki no Kyojin and Berserk wouldn't be so successful if the titans and demons brought flowers instead of killing humans. Since every decision could potentially lead to disaster and the stakes are higher many viewers are more invested in the well being of the characters. It also lends an air of realism to these sort of stories. In these cases the gore is merely a necessary story-telling trope. E) Sometimes it might also be a form of coping with real-world issues the viewer or, in case of manga, the mangaka has. F) In some cases, especially guro, it might be simple paraphillia. Rule 34 exists for a reason. In short short because there is demand. |

| Meanwhile, in another thread, somebody must be asking why is there moe anime. |
 |
| I have a better question. Why is this a thread worth answering? |

Jyoshiro said: This is hilarious. You watch anime with insane fights with people who have abilities that could totally destroy people. There are weapons and monsters and all kinds of things. How is gore and everything like that just not expected? It would totally unrealistic for all this stuff to go down without there being a ton of blood and gore and dismemberment. It would make no sense at all for there not to be. That's a really good point. I hate when there isn't blood in a scene when there very well should be. It is just really distracting...and also feels too child-friendly. Sailor Moon Crystal pissed me off with that. Even though there's blood in the manga. The anime removed it entirely when she stabs herself WITH A SWORD like COME ON....... |
|
| Everything isn't catered to you. I personally enjoy gore, and I know there is a big following of it. Simple. |
 |
| The same reason why you watch horror movies. Or ride rollercoasters. It's the thrill, it's by experiencing something disturbing or thrilling in the comfort of your own home, or in the comfort of the roller-coaster thingy. |
| Everything Go Nagai and Devilman's fault |
| Because people like that werid stuff and want to be edgy |
 |
| I don't get it either. Taking the time to carefully mutilate my own abducted animals and humans evokes a more powerful feeling in me. Be the creator of what you love. |
 |
| Because some people have yet to evolve from their reptile brains into a higher plane of thought. |
 |
I miss the 2000s when people weren't snowflakes and stuff like this wasn't frowned upon |
 |
| because the fictional mediums explore controversial subjects. I know you're not getting at that it should be stopped, still anime should never be barred from exploring gore. It's okay if you don't handle it though. |

| if there is audience for it than they will keep making it , But honestly I didn't see them making a one from a long time |
