Because they're usually more serious and sometimes have a much deeper/interesting plot.
They're fun to watch every 'once' in a while..

After looking at his profile.......I truly believe he is one. Now I feel violated because I told him I thought I was the only one who thought this way. I guess I truly am alone in this.

loooool Maybe you need to explain to @DPP21 why you like those stuff and why watching those stuff doesn't make you a pedo in real life. Good luck with that! Maybe then you will realise the frustration we went through to try and explain our reason for liking violent shows with you guys and that we are still normal human beings and not monster.
a am a pervert in real life, deal wid it boi. (i don't actually do illegal things tho)
seriously though, if i am a pedo for liking underage anime girls, 90% of all anime fans who like anime girls are also pedos. If you didn't notice, its a rare thing to find an anime girl that is, or looks of legal age. of course it depends on you own countries laws like the US (my country) is 18 and most anime girls are or look under 18, so in the us most anime fans are pedos apparently. However, in japan the legal age is like 13 - 14 (16 in some metropolitan areas) so most anime fans in japan are not pedos. Its all perspective bro.
I don't care about the law, if it suddenly becomes legal to have sex with babies it doesn't make it okay, and I'll not talking about girls who debately look legal, I'm talking about lolis, anime girls who are clearly drawn as children and are sexualized.

I'm not doing anything illegal either. If I'm evil for liking AoT and GTA then so is most of the population, you don't honesty think that's true, do you? You don't do anything illegal? Why are you trying to talk about morality and laws as if they're the same thing? The same arguments you making for us being sadistic can be used to call you a pedophile and the same arguments you're using to defend yourself can be used to defend the people you're attacking. Bringing up age of consent as a defense for fapping to cartoon kids makes you come off as desperate and even more perverted.

I don't care if you like lolis, I'm bringing it up because of how obviously hypocritical your arguments are. It's unreasonable to assume that everyone who likes them wants to have sex with real kids. Lolis are drawn to be attractive, so of course a lot of people are going to be into them. Similarly, violent video games are designed to be fun and action scenes in film and animation are designed to be entertaining to watch.

I only want to watch that kind of shows because I love the atmosphere, I love dark and creepy things, and that doesn't mean it's depressing, at least not for me. Psychological and dark plots make me enjoy a show, it's something unusual and different. I get bored if I watch things like slice of life, comedy or harem, I find them stupid and childish. Everyone has their own tastes.

@merryfistmas I was just about to reply the exact same thing to that user, but you've already done that for me. :)

Attack on Titan I would have never considered neither dark nor depressing XD. Surprised someone does.
For me, I tend to dark things because they're mature. I don't particularly enjoy watching people getting stabbed, but the reactions afterwards make me feel emotions. They might not be happy emotions exactly, but they're still emotions. I suppose I enjoy having my heart pulled in different directions.

It feels like I can just get past my stress IRL if a series makes me cry... I'm always so happy after a "crying session"... I sound like a creep. Kill me...

Because watching dark anime sounds cool as if you were a villain of the show. In this world, its not 100% pure good.

Because they force you to face your problems and not run away from them

Unfortunately many "dark" anime become edgelord material because the anime loses focus and just arbitrarily kills off characters for no reason.

I do because they often attend topics which are more serious.
