| ef:A Tale of Melodies There are about six more, which are dark, but outright shocking, depressing and leave you thinking, "I want to skin the human race". |
 |
| Not entirely sure about your whole definition, but one of the darkest anime I've watched thematically has to go to Monster. Such a great show. Attack on Titan, Another, Elfen Lied, Black Lagoon are others that are "dark" in different ways. Happy Sugar Life has got to be one of the most disturbing I've seen. Goes out of it's way to be gross at times. |

| I've yet to watch the berserk anime but the manga is freakin awesome....i mean dark. Apart from that these - PrincessMeiMei said: No doubt about it, Flowers of Evil takes the cake. I'd say the most tough to watch - more than a bit disturbing at times - so yes it's up there. Tsarko said: Probably Texhnolyze. It's hard to be darker than that. Made me think a lot after that ending. Amazing anime. Oh boy. It's the single most depressing show I've watched. And those last few eps 18-22, just a masterpiece. Phlaryx said: I would have to say Texhnolyze.....I would not want to live in that universe. But whats really disturbing to me is how similar that universe is to our own world. |

| Hmm I think Paranoia Agent. You may not consider it "dark" but I found it eerie and confusing. I liked it by the way. Also Higurashi no naku koro ni and Umineko, Shiki, Another... I love Junji Ito's work, but that's manga |
| Chika Gentou Gekiga: Shoujo Tsubaki for sure so dark and disturbing |
 |
| Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most upsetting, but the 'darkest' that I've seen would either be Monster, Claymore or Gankutsuou. The Promised Neverland is one of the 'darkest' in recent memory. |
| Higurashi no naku koro ni is my top darkest anime for me. Psychiatrist irabu sensei (kuuchuu buranko) is also worth mentioning imo. |

| For some reasons, it's always been berserk. |
| Definitely Texhnolyze, it's despair and nihilism distilled into anime form. |
 |
| Grave of the Fireflies wasn't edgy but it was dark. My dad showed me that and Plague Dogs when I was 5 and I'm still trying to forget about them both to this day. |
| Not that kind of dark, but series like Gunslinger Girl (the anime and manga) and Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade sometimes makes you questions yourself whether one suffering should be traded for another suffering for the political goals greater good. Shows like these messed up your moral compass sometimes. The sick thing is it was you, the viewer, that has to answer to it's moral conclusion. Just like a quote once said "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster" |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Texhnolyze was pure nihilism, and that is not something I want to feel after having finished an anime, since I already have a tendency for it. |
 |
| Chirin no Suzu (Ringing Bell). I watched it last week and holyshiiit |
| Texchnolyze made Japan run out of black ink for like 52 minutes. |
| Monster probably , had a grim feeling throughout. Cowboy Bebop is deceptively depressing and grim. |
| "In this world, wherever there is light – there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars, and hatred is born to protect love." -Madara Uchiha  |
| i watched the first episode of chaos;child and was absolutely disgusted i do not need to see that stuff again lmao |
-SP- said: I don't think it get's any darker than Shinsekai Yori or Elfen lied my nigga elfen lied fav anuime frrfrffrrfrfr |
| The original Hellsing on my old TV. Couldn't see **** since the brightness was so low. |
