| What anime do you think had incredible atmospheres? ___________________ Personally, I think both Texhnolyze and .hack//Sign we’re perfect in this department. Nothing can beat Texhnolyze in how well it crafted this miserable, nihilistic, downright oppressive mood. I felt sick to my stomach by the end, sheerly because the atmosphere was so suffocating. //Sign felt like you were experiencing the world of an early 2000’s mmo, embodied by this nostalgic and adventurous feeling. I remember playing games like Ryzom when I was young, being enthralled in its world, whilst using my imagination to fix all the technical limitations and the god awful game designs. Watching //Sign years later felt like I was a kid again, engrossed in this magical fantasy world inhabited by other players. |

| Aria's ability to create a soothing, tranquil experience is unrivaled. It's soundtrack can set the mood perfectly and the design for Neo Venezia can make you feel at ease |
    beep boop bop pow |
| Revue Starlight. Basically visually ambitious and thematically majestic that both get me hyped and drowned in a sea of feels in every major event. |
| Shinsekai Yori, Higurashi no naku koro ni (Deen), Nagi no Asu kara. Deen's Higurashi does an excellent job at creating an eerie and off/creepy atmosphere, especially in the early episodes and the buildups before the gore takes over in each arc. I can't really describe why I chose Shinsekai Yori & Nagi no Asu kara too, but they immediatly came to mind when I read your question ^^' |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Mushishi and Non non Biyori Both anime nailed the setting and the atmosphere... once you start watching, everything around you ceases to exist |

| Hakumei and Mikochi, as soon as the episode starts, I get sucked in their daily lives for 20 minutes. Grimgar, I wish more isekai took such a slow approach to their world and characters, and the backgrounds man. Mushishi, man, watching just one episode a day is enough to make your day so much better, Ginko's personality and adventures just hit differently. |

| +1 Mushishi for slice of life. Berserk for seinen. Hunter x Hunter for shounen. Monster and Ergo Proxy for psychological. |
| Mushishi Mononoke Hyouka The Garden of Words Etc. |
| Konohana Kitan, Aria, Mushishi, those are the thing that comes to my mind at first. |
 |
| Mushishi Nagi No Asukara Your Lie in April Tatami Galaxy Kyousougiga Tokyo Godfathers |
 |
| I’m seeing a lot of Mushishi. It’s been on my radar for quite some time but now I know I gotta check it out soon. |
|
| For me its Kingdom and it brilliant Battle Environment. |
 |
| I will get pegged for this but I think Sword Art Online had a great atmosphere. |
 |
| SEL really creates an atmosphere of its own that you can't really find in other anime. |

2077 said: Whilst I personally did find it interesting I will admit the pacing was garbage. The last 3 episodes were especially horrific, and it ended on one of the most bullshit uses of deus ex machina.Monochrosanity said: Personally, I think both Texhnolyze and .hack//Sign we’re perfect in this department. tbh i found .hack//sign the most boring shit ever, the atmosphere was pretty decent but god was that pacing awful |

I will stream Aria’s soundtrack while I work because it brings my mind back to the series and it’s so calming. There’s a reason Aria is the premier “iyashikei” (healing) series, it was just perfectly executed. |

| Serial Experiments Lain and Mononoke. |
| One Piece for the whole infinite world building it has. It feels real. Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin. It's just so serious with its theme that it nailed the right atmosphere for me. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. It reminds me of the fun times I had with high school. It had this nostalgic school atmosphere that is just so fun. And this is not an anime but Saya no Uta has this unique and disturbing atmosphere. It's a great VN, I recommend for anyone to read it cause it's a short read. |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| I don't think I've seen a steampunk anime nailing that victorian atmosphere as well as Last Exile did. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| Yuru Camp can physically make you feel warm and cozy with its unbelievable amount of wholesomeness and visual comf. |
   I wanna be the true savior, the one with a terrible demise. I wanna be a white angel, the one with two billion of eyes. I wanna be like a fly on the wall to watch you, until you die. |
| Most things Yasuyuki Ueda was involved in: Haibane Renmei, Serial Experiments Lain, Shigurui, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy. Special shoutout to NieA Under 7 which is completely overlooked but any bit as good as the ones mentioned before. Want a hidden gem among hidden gems? Watch it :) |

| The first anime i thought of was MUSHISHI, for real, the director did such a great work with the setting, feels mysterious, uncertain, melancholic in a way yet calm .... oh the music uffffff , the ost nailed it . Steins gate , that anime totally got the scifi vibes Monster, thats the best seinen hands down, the way you feel scary of johan is just amazing, i never felt so uncomfortable before with a human like johan, you can understand right away why the anime is called monster. Is a slow burn tho, i seen people call it boring, ewww they dont know what they miss Maybe not that much but Madoka magica did the trick too, you feel miserable for the poor kids lifes |
| Higurashi (Deen), Serial experiments lain, Shouwa genroku Rakugo shinjuu and steins;gate |
 ManWild |
| Houseki no Kuni Anime actually gave a desolate melancholic atmosphere with a lot of mystery of what happened to everyone Samurai Champloo The atmosphere of samurai and the Japan back then is perfect alongwith some additions of hip-hop jazz music Death Parade A bar where people play their last game and get judged, a very interesting take on purgatory. |
 |
| Mahoutsukai no Yome: its animation and soundtrack are so incredible that they can give you a signal when something bad is going to happen, as if the same atmosphere had a dark background that in the end explodes into a majestic or murky event. |
| Mushishi, Mononoke, and natsume yuujincho are the first anime that come to mind when I think of atmosphere and aesthetic. I also really like Mugen no Juunin: immortal a lot, which I am currently watching. I've noticed it gets a lot of flack though, but I think the aesthetic is really pleasing. |
 |
| 35 replies and no Hunter x Hunter 1999 mention yet? this site never ceases to amaze me... |
| FLCL for me personally, I will never be able to forget that soundtrack |
 |
| Grimgar and Nagi no asukara. Both has different atmospheres but they really nailed it, made me enjoy the anime even further :) |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| Girls' Last Tour, Yuru Camp and SEL. These shows have relaxing one or rather creepy one. |
  |
| Fate/Zero, the past of Kiritsugu and that Steins;Gate nailed that thrilling sci-fi feel Code Geass ending Yuru Camp, you can feel that warmness |
 |
| Yuru Camp. If you are ever tired, just take a blanket and lie in the couch then watch this anime. |
 |
| Cowboy Bebop. Especially with its use of music |
 |
| 3/4 of the way done with "Shiki", and it has an almost perfect atmosphere When I finish it, it'll probably be a 9/10 for me |
| I prefer juice than water :/ kfjhfhkjkhsejkohdiojd |
| i want to eat your pancreas has an incredible atmosphere of sadness and depression |
 OBAMOS |
| One Piece's wordbuilding is so incredible. |
Sore wa chigau yo! - Junko Enoshima, probably |
| Made in Abyss (How in the piss did no one mention this) Cowboy Bebop Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World FLCL Evangelion And just because I like the city night vibe, Erased and Detective Conan |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
