| Well, not really.. I don't find any anime very scary, except for some random scenes here and there, which were a bit creepy. |
 |
| I literally screamed 2 times while watching Vatican Kiseki Chousakan.. there were a lot unexpected jumpscares Also I didn’t screamed but one Shiki scene really scared me. I nearly dropped my laptop. |
This is Nanba Prison. No one has ever escaped successfully from this prison. -Nanbaka |
| Another. I watched it when I was 13 and it was first anime that wasn't PG13. I loved the aura of it but I remember it was terrifying for me. I had fear of umbrellas and elevators for few weeks after. I think about rewatching it some day since now I'm more comfortable with horror stuff but tbh it probably would still scare me. |

Deathko said: @traed I agree on Boogiepop Phantom, really great atmosphere ;). Ghost Hunt tho... if it's the one I'm thinking about, I wasn't scared. Japanese dub, or english dub? I saw the japanese one, but heard the english one is supposedly better for this show. Yeah I was disappointed Boogiepop & Others didn't have that atmosphere because I need more of that. I think I may also have seen a similar atmosphere to Boogiepop Phantom in a fairly short anime about vampirism but it was boring as fuck so i barely remember it. Guess I need to watch more early 2000s and earlier anime. It's the shoujo one where the title is just Ghost Hunt in katakana in the Japanese title so appears in English on MAL because the title is just that. I don't remember which I watched it's been years and when I watch subs my brain sometimes turns what they say in Japanese into English sometimes. Was just one or two parts of episodes most wasnt scary. I guess when I say scary here I mean anxious suspense not paranoia inducing or anything like that. Some parts made me tear up too since it had a few sad things in it. Sure you arent thinking of Ghost Stories (Gakku no Kaidan) which the english dub is better because it's intentionally a parody of the show because it was so mediocre they decided to make a shitpost of it? Lol |

CQLLIST said: Perfect Blue and Higurashi gave me nightmares but was worth the experience I guess. oooh i've become more interested now with higurashi and i just started that a few days ago i think, thanks for your comments! If you like it, be sure to read the Umineko manga. Or the VN, but the manga is more accessible. |
 |
| It’s not horror but 7DS animation was pretty scary |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Perfect blue was probably the closest. But nothing has straight up terrified me |
 |
| Scared no, but the feeling of "this is something I shouldn't be watching". The only time I ever felt that, was when I was watching "Elfen Lied". |
 |
| iirc the first anime that scared me was actually Steins;gate. I think it was around episode 11 there were some scenes that really creeped me out. |

ACasualViewer said: episode 8 of dusk maiden of amnesia I don't remember that specific episode but DMoA is genuinely creepy during some scenes, it has a disturbing atmosphere when it wants to. |
 |
| I think Moomin was the first anime that has ever spooked me. Groke and the Ice Queen haunted me as a kid. Otherwise there is the Devil in Ousama Ranking which kinda gives me the creeps for some reason. The curse of Abyss in Made in Abyss scares me. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I don't usually watch horror or mystery genre. So not really |
 |
| Only one, really. It's a dentist in Speed Grapher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJJhQjagyhs ^ this is really not sounds i like to hear |
 |
| Haven't finished Monster but there're some scenes that scared the shit out of me, especially |
 |
| School Days. The ending somehow keep haunting in my mind for weeks after finishing the show. |
 |
| Only Ghost Hunt. Other anime don't sacare me. |
| Not really. The only show that came a bit close was the last 10 episodes of Shinsekai Yori. |
 |
| I jump scare easily, so I'm grateful I haven't seen any anime that uses it. The problem is that anime doesn't have the freedom to show what it wants, unlike manga. |
| Serial Experiments Lain and Robertas Blood Trail. Although the latter made me cringe moreso than like a jumpscare. |
| Grisaia no Kajitsu The anime didn't scare me but Amane(best girl) backstory was pretty horrifying af for me, the first time I watched it I wanted to throw up but I couldn't stop watching either |

| Parasyte the maxim was scary for me. One of the few anime that has legit scared me. Yugioh used to scare me as a kid. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
| First season of Higurashi was pretty fucking intense for me back when I watched it in 2014 |
 |
| Higurashi is the only anime I can think of who fits the description, especially the needle scene... yikes never eating that again. |

| Now that i think about it it's hilarious how n Anime actually managed to scare me, No i don't have balls of steel in fact i shit my pants just by watching some old creepyasta yet it's weird idk if it's the art style or just the vibe of "Anime" on general but nope i don't think i ever got scared not even while watching a Horror Anime but i still believe tho that Animation can be Scary if done properly. |
 |
| honestly Shiki kind of freaked me out when I first watched it, just the atmosphere itself creeped me out but I really enjoyed it at the same time. |
 |
| Y'know I never actually thought about this before. i can't think of anything that has actually scared me. I've definitely been made uncomfortable by plenty though. Like Yami Shibai, Nekojiro, or some of the gorier shows like Genocyber and Elfen Lied. |
 |
| Higurashi. Not so much the element of 'horror' but the fear of the unknown happening in the story itself and the reiteration of the story unbeknownst to me at the time. The first three episodes of the Umineko visual novel were genuinely terrifying as well, in the exact same way. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Anime is pretty bad at the realism needed for body horror and jump scares to actually work. Where it can compete is psychological horror and cosmic horror. Both take place between your ears and not mainly on the screen. Advanced search horror + psychological: https://myanimelist.net/anime.php?cat=0&q=&type=0&score=0&status=0&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=a&c[1]=b&c[2]=c&c[3]=f&genre[0]=14&genre[1]=40&o=3&w=1 Examples listed this thread include Shiki (the specials in particular), Higurashi, Boogiepop Phantom, or Perfect Blue. Let me add a few lesser known TV ones with the two tags I'd recommend. https://myanimelist.net/anime/2246/Mononoke https://myanimelist.net/anime/279/Kyougoku_Natsuhiko__Kousetsu_Hyaku_Monogatari https://myanimelist.net/anime/37517/Happy_Sugar_Life |

| deshelled unit 01 was not good for my heart and the ending of devilman crybaby was a lil bit too bleak for me |
| As others already mentioned, Shiki has some scary scenes. Generally, there's not much horror themed anime. If you want some scary japanese stories then you should look in other media. |
| Non. Perfect Blue and Berserk's ending however had put me in the edge, and Serial Experiments Lain gave me some anxiety with its 'nothing' atmosphere. |
 |
Never maybe bkz I haven't watched horror anime but this episode scared me all the time even it isn't scary |
 For your Information: |
| For me, it's Re: Zero. Especially in eps 15 season 1 make me more realize the suffering that Subaru has been through.. At first, I underestimate this show because I thought it was gonna be some comedy isekai (I didn't read the synopsis and the genres lol) |
| Higurashi nail scene is still engraved in my memory for the rest of my days. One thing that get me is the ambiance, like perfect blue and cat soup are scary while paranoia agent wasn't (still a great show!) Another was funny to me. (meh) Edit: i'm tired so it didn't make any sense lol |

ryo-san said: Yes, the post apocalyptic ones. Like anyone who is in my field of work, would know we're heading for one.. the tropics are already done, won't last till 2040 and then the world by 2100. Also medical mangas made me aware of so many diseases that scares me too. So there really is no way to save the environment? Please do you have some studies or sources I could read about this problematic? (its not that I dont believe you, I just want to immerse myself in the sense of dread) |
