Why Don't You Watch More Spooky Anime?

Mushishi is kinda spooky, but highly rated.

@Zarutaku I haven't watched it so I wouldn't know.
Also, why is it tagged "Iyashikei"? Doesn't this tag only exist after that frieren/dungeon meshi cringe thing? Am I wrong and it's always been there and I'm just too new to know this? Lol.

D.Gray-man isn't that spooky though, and I say that as a fan of the anime. As for that other one, I can tell you right now I'm not going to watch it for two big reasons, and neither is because it's spooky.....It's her boobs. Just gunna come out and say it, way too big for me from what I saw. If a series is labeled "ecchi" I gotta like what I see. And again, doesn't look that spooky.

I don't really think there's many anime I would find spooky though. Made in Abyss was mentioned, but that's more disturbing than spooky or scary.

The Level 4 Akuma is a type of incomprehensible horror that should have never been allowed to manifest in a drawing, let alone a shonen jump show. Please don't say it's not spooky.

@LenRea It kinda gives creepy doll vibes, but personally I think the most "spooky" part about it is that it seems to have nipples. Those nips will haunt me way more than the thing itself.

@FanofAction there's more to it than just being a creepy doll, it is uncanny in many ways and just simply shouldn't fucking exist, even as a concept imo. But yeah, if you actually watch the episodes this thing appears in you'd get it. (Hallow completely ruined it tho)

there are just not that many good ones out there.

Give me an anime that looks like bloodborne, and I'll watch it first thing tomorrow morning.

I'm watching mysterious disappearances... it's kinda mid

Honestly, anime horror is at it's best with body horror. Unironically the best horror anime that I have seen is made in abyss. specially golden city of the scorching sun.

Made in abyss spoilers:

@LenRea And what is the difference between "spooky" and "horror" by the way? Do you mean more of Blair Witch/The Ring/REC or a Human Centipede/Hostel/Antichrist type of things? I wish to see some anime similar to the second category, would be grateful for any suggestions.

While Mushishi does have a slow pace & it’s true that the mushi aren’t purposefully malicious, there’s still too much nightmare fuel (memorably the ep with the mushi that eats light living in the girl’s eye & also Ginko’s origin ep) in it for me to personally consider it Iyashikei.

Some titles I consider spooky & enjoyed:
Mushishi
Mysterious Disapperances
xxxHolic
Ghost Hound
Midnight Occult Civil Servants
In/Spectre
Mieruko-chan
