| First up, dementia isn't a disease. It's sort of an umbrella term for a bunch of different forms of mental deterioration. As for the genre, it's just anime with dreamlike, otherworldly or themes inconsistent with reality. Essentially mind fuckery. |
 |
| for most of it, it's just experimental animation |
 |
| A lot of them are potentially seizure inducing... for real one of them goddamn legit hurt my eyes so bad ugh... |
 |
| Trippy visuals or nonsensical story that is not based on reality. In this genre there is no logic it is supposed to be like a weird dream. |

| The definition of Dementia is: "a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning." And the Dementia genre basically gives something along the lines of that. I usually just call it "Weird on crack trippy shits". |
| It's a meme tag that doesn't really have any reason to exist besides that. |
| To put it super simply, A mix of short and bizarre entries + ones that are "deep" and harder to figure out such as higurashi, SEL and NGE |

| It usually means there’s a surreal component, a psychological deterioration of a character, and/or psychological horror. Almost everything with a dementia tag will also have either horror or psychological also tagged. And in the rare cases that isn’t the case, it’s usually a surreal mind bend |
| Dementia is a disease that impairs a patient's cognitive abilities. Dementia causes a gradual deterioration of memory, the ability to orient in time and space, and to recognize people and objects. It`s important to keep in mind that even though there has been a change in personality, the personality itself has remained. It`s necessary to organize a space and a favorable atmosphere for the patient (e.g., to arrange the room with favorite furniture, old photos, etc), to keep in touch with the person and integrate him or her into society. Also, it is worth taking his needs seriously and talking about them. I know about a service thekey.com that cares for people with this disease. |

Stacias said: Maybe it could be considered as elitists anime :P Lol I would very much say that it is not elitist anime. Most of the anime in the genre are just geniunely bad. |
