I want something dark, really dark. something like gantz, where it's so dark it's messed up. I thought about Boogiepop Phantom, but i'm not sure how dark that is, and i haven't looked to deeply cause I don't wanna spoil anything, so if someone could give me a little non-spoiling info about it that'd be great.

Denpa teki na Kanojo (this is a dark tale of two individuals possibly forming a romance solving disturbing murders that get deeper and deeper as they discover more and more info.)

Pet shop of horrors (a pet shop that doesn't sell your normal pets. It sells exactly what you're looking for and those pets somehow teach the buyer some sort of life lesson in a brutal way)

Cossette no Shouzou (a tale of love that went sour and now she is trying to get out of the hell she lives in, but someone has to take on that hell for her to get out)

Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi (immortals and things they call angels. These two cannot even be in the same room or terrible things happen. Two immortals continue to try and live on without being caught that they are immortal)

Gankutsuou (betrayal, and terrible deeds done in high society to maintain social class status.)


(just some of the darker anime out there)

Boogiepop Phantom:

Dark music, dark colors, dark sound, dark content, dark emotion, dark voices, dark everything.

It's a classic and should be seen by everyone, even if they aren't anime fans and is pretty much the best psychological thriller in the realm of anime and there's drug abuse and insanity overflowing out of it.



If you want the Darkest and Grimmest Anime ever made, watch Texhnolyze. It's pure awesome.

Another great Dark Anime is Shigurui: Death Frenzy (This is da REAL STUFF! This is how the samurai era was (OK, maybe it has its little unrealistic parts). It's violent, it's dark, it's gory, and it's awesome! *__*)

Also going to second Evangelion and Kara No Kyoukai because they are sooooo good.

What! if you want something dark I would start with denpa, the one i recommended above. It's two Ova's and it will def. leave an impression. Then watch texhnolyze..

In terms of being dark and quality Evangelion is the best choice. It's not the darkest, but yeah... quality.

I simply have to second this.

been meaning to watch it, i actually have it sitting on my hard drive. just always decide not to for some reason.

denpa, Cossette no Shouzou, and Pet shop of horrors are all really short, so it kinda turned me off. Gankutsuou didin't seem to up my alley (however, I thought the same about anohana and tokyo maginitude 8.0 and absolutely loved them).

everyone recommends this for everything... and one day i'll watch it. but for now, I just see it as a "one size fits all" type of thing. not looking for that.

I know that shorter anime or a few OVAs can seem disheartening, but the ones I gave you are amazing and can really capture your attention with just the few ovas they have. With Gankutsuou, I thought the same thing, but it's really dark. I loved how dark it was behind the scenes as well. The betrayal, the heartbreak, the very need to put yourself above others to get ahead and karma coming back. IT's good. Anyway. Hope you enjoy.
