Um, so, yeah, I am looking for some disturbing or scary anime series that I can watch. Specifically horror anime, but it doesn't have to be horror, it can be anything really. The most disturbing or scary anime that i've ever watched would probably be higurashi: when they cry, and also i'm currenly starting Shigurui: Death Frenzy. I didn't find Elfen Lied disturbing, but it did have lot's and lots of Gore and violence which was right up my alley. Deadman Wonderland also probably had a scene or two that made me cringe a little bit.

Also, I refuse to watch bible black or anything like it because I hate hentai (I used to like it when i was twelve years old and going through puberty, but not anymore.). If you're gonna suggest hentai, it better have a damn good storyline, plot, character development.

Ehhhhhhh, the most psycho character I've seen in a while is in Mirai Nikki. Wasn't that disturbing of a show though... actually it was disturbing that it lacked so much character development.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Just bear with it for 11 episodes... You will not regret it.

Jigoku Shoujo is not by any means the most scary, but it's quite disturbing in some ways. Great watch imo; I normally hate episodic anime but Jigoku Shoujo really sucked me in. Same with the Kara no Kyoukai movies. Not scary but it's pretty dark around the type of stuff you're looking for.

Seconding Another and Rainbow.

The most disturbing was probably Mirai Nikki... (Yuno is just... the definition of "psychotic")
However... the anime that was the most scary was probably Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni... particularly during the first few arcs.

I'll never understand why movies like these even exist. I mean they have no real merit except for shock value (which isn't meritorious at all). Would much rather watch something disturbing that has an actual interesting plot, dialogue etc. This is coming from someone who genuinely likes horror and disturbing movies/anime/books etc. I just feel like there is a line that shouldn't be crossed that is being crossed more often these days.

I've read about A Serbian Film and I honestly can't imagine why anyone would want to see that disgusting pedophilic garbage. And the pathetic excuse the director used for making the film was blatantly a bunch of bullshit. If someone actually enjoys that movie I myself would wonder if they might have serious issues they need to work out perhaps through counceling.

Hey guys, start reccing anime, and stop discussing what your opinions are for each post instead of reccing, cus nobody gives a crap. Did that sound too strong? haha, it's ok, be a man and take it.

I haven't been creeped out or disturbed in quite a while, and unlike a lot of people live action movies won't do it for me, for whatever reason the only time a movie can disturb or scare me is when animated movies...i haven't had that feeling in a long time, though....like since i was a child.

Alright, so this one hasn't even been suggested, from what im reading, but Boogiepop Phantom and Lain both creeped me out and really disturbed me. Just, the metaphysical atmosphere they have Projected towards me was what made both of them one of the creepiest anime I've ever seen in my life. What really highlighted the creepy atmosphere in Lain was the way it was so silent, yet still managed to have so much complexity in the storytelling.

Another-a bit gory, good horror though
Mirai Nikki-Not the best story, but fun nonetheless ^.^
Mardock Scramble-REALLY messed up, but it shows all the things that normal shows may blow off as actually being wrong, rather gory though
Deadman Wonderland--I recomend the manga here, actually, but yes, a tad gory
Witch hunter robin--I know its a bit different, and rather old, but if you watch through to the end you get some cool ideas
King of Thorn--kinda cool movie, a little strange though...
Myself/yourself--kinda gets overly dramatic/angsty near the end, but a tad disturbing nonetheless
UN-GO--just plain weird...good, but weird

Genocyber is great if you're looking for a ton of blood and gore. The story isn't very good, since it was adapted from unfinished manga, but it can be quite disturbing.

I don't know about anyone else but I found Claymore to be quite frightening. Maybe it's because I was half passed out though while watching it lol.

While I've only seen the 1st ep, Berserk looks like something that might be "scary" (I've heard of blood and gore)

A lot of people recommend Higurashi, I haven't seen it because I heard something about maggots (and I don't like maggots eek! >.<) but if you like creepy children, go for it.

Deadman Wonderland was a bit disturbing at times, so I say try that.

Hmm..

Blood-C (which is one of my favs) is VERY VERY VEEEEERY gory. Honestly it's incredibly disturbing to the point that I cringed and even covered my eyes once. While a lot of people don't care for it I found it to be very good, which tons of plot twists.

If you like ecchi try Freezing. I found the Nova (huge freakin' aliens!) to be creepy.

Also, Mnemosyne had some cringe-worthy scenes involving piercings and eating people. LOL it's really interesting though, however it's borderline hentai so if you don't want that, I would steer clear.
