Halloween akan segera tiba, dan itu artinya sudah waktunya untuk menonton anime horor! Animasi mungkin tidak terlalu menakutkan seperti live-action atau gambar diam, tetapi ada banyak pertunjukan yang menciptakan dunia yang padat dan mengganggu atau menggali kedalaman horor psikologis melalui dialog dan suasana, jadi mari kita lihat lima favorit kita hari ini, Bolehkah kita?

-Spoiler Ringan untuk Shiki-

5. Dorohedoro
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=”imdb”url=”https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11147852/mediaviewer/rm2776074241″]
Kisah Dorohedoro sebenarnya lebih mirip dengan komedi hitam daripada apa pun, tetapi dunianya penuh dengan citra neraka dan kekerasan serampangan yang sangat cocok dengan semangat Halloween (terutama episode yang dibuat selama Blue Night Festival). Ini semua tentang Kaiman, seorang pria yang sangat ingin menemukan penyihir yang mengutuknya dengan amnesia dan kepala kadal, dan teman periangnya Nikaido yang sepertinya menyembunyikan sesuatu. Kota dieselpunk kotor yang mereka huni dipenuhi dengan pengaruh okultisme dan para penyihir yang menyiksa mereka memperlakukan pemotongan dan pemujaan setan seperti fakta kehidupan duniawi. Ini tentu saja pertunjukan yang aneh, tetapi Anda tidak akan melupakannya dalam waktu dekat!
4. Shiki
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=”ANZB-9413″text=””url=””]
Jepang memiliki masalah yang berbeda dengan xenofobia, dan sebagai Akibatnya, anime horor psikologis suka mengeksplorasi masalah ini secara mendalam. Shiki dimulai sebagai pertunjukan berburu monster yang relatif standar di mana manusia yang saleh mengalahkan vampir jahat (disebut”shiki”) yang meneror desa mereka satu per satu, tetapi segera menjadi jelas bahwa shiki hanya berusaha bertahan hidup seperti orang lain.. Meskipun kematian yang tak terhitung jumlahnya di kedua belah pihak dapat dihindari jika kedua kelompok melakukan upaya nyata untuk saling memahami, ketakutan yang luar biasa terhadap orang asing membuat mereka terkunci dalam siklus pertumpahan darah tanpa akhir. Jika Anda penggemar acara seperti Parasyte atau Tokyo Ghoul, cobalah yang ini!

3. Yakusoku no Neverland (Negeri yang Dijanjikan)
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=”crunchyroll”url=”https://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-1006541/must-list-for-darkhorroradventuradult-mangapg=1″]
Grace Field House tampak seperti panti asuhan kecil yang nyaman tempat anak-anak dan”Mama”mereka membentuk keluarga darurat yang penuh kasih bersama-sama. Namun, angka tato di leher anak-anak dan tes kecerdasan mereka yang ketat menggunakan peralatan futuristik membuat seluruh sistem entah bagaimana tampak tidak aktif… belum lagi anak-anak yang diadopsi tidak pernah mengirim surat… Ternyata, tujuan dari panti asuhan jauh lebih menyeramkan dan tiga anak terpandai harus menemukan cara untuk mengecoh Mama mereka yang licik untuk melarikan diri dengan hidup mereka (dan semoga saudara-saudara mereka juga). Pertempuran pikiran yang mengerikan ini hampir tidak menampilkan darah kental, tetapi tetap saja menanamkan rasa takut ke dalam hati seseorang.
2. Devilman: Crybaby
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=”ANZX-14231″text=””url=””]
Bagaimana dengan anime dengan iblis citra, tema xenophobia, dan permainan pikiran semua digabung menjadi satu? Ini adalah Devilman: Crybaby, remake terbaru dari manga Devilman 1972 oleh penulis legendaris Go Nagai yang bisa kita bicarakan berjam-jam jika diberi kesempatan. Tapi singkatnya, ini adalah kisah Akira Fudo, seorang remaja lemah tapi penyayang yang sahabatnya yang penuh teka-teki Ryo Asuka memutuskan bahwa cara terbaik untuk mengalahkan ancaman kerasukan setan yang berkembang adalah dengan mengubah Akira menjadi setan sendiri. Ini dengan cepat meningkat dari sana menjadi kepanikan dan paranoia di seluruh dunia, sebagian besar didorong oleh media sosial dan siaran manipulatif yang disengaja. Berhati-hatilah – pertunjukan ini bukan untuk orang yang lemah hati!
1. Monster
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=”crunchyroll”url=”http://www.crunchyroll.com/showphoto?id=4299555593″]
Meskipun Devilman: Crybaby adalah klasik instan (yang kebetulan didasarkan pada klasik terbukti yang sebenarnya), kita harus memberikan tempat nomor satu untuk monster karya Naoki Urasawa untuk menyelam yang menyayat hati ke dalam pikiran seorang pembunuh berantai dan ahli bedah yang berkonflik secara moral yang mempertaruhkan reputasinya untuk menyelamatkan hidupnya bertahun-tahun yang lalu dan sekarang bertekad untuk mengakhirinya. Pada 74 episode, Monster jelas merupakan komitmen waktu yang serius, tetapi seri ini sangat ahli dalam mengeksplorasi bagaimana seseorang bisa menjadi monster dan bahwa moral semuanya hanyalah bayangan abu-abu. Untuk anime horor yang akan membuat Anda mempertanyakan keberadaan Anda sendiri, sulit untuk salah dengan yang satu ini.

Pemikiran Akhir
Tokyo Ghoul, Paprika, Gantz, King’s Game, Elfen Lied, dan Jujutsu Kaisen musim ini juga merupakan pilihan bagus untuk ditonton sepanjang tahun ini, dan Anda dapat menemukan lebih banyak rekomendasi di versi sebelumnya dari daftar ini di bawah di bawah.

Ketakutan adalah salah satu emosi tertua umat manusia dan naluri bertahan hidup yang sangat mendasar. Ini adalah satu-satunya emosi yang memicu respons pelarian atau perlawanan kita dan menjauhkan kita dari situasi berbahaya. Namun, ada beberapa orang yang suka merasakan adrenalin yang datang dari rasa takut. Kami tidak hanya berbicara tentang orang-orang yang mencari bahaya, tetapi juga tentang mereka yang menikmati rasa jijik, menghadapi mimpi buruk yang mustahil, dan monster mengerikan yang tersembunyi di balik tabir kehidupan normal. Bagi orang-orang itu, genre horor adalah bukti bahwa mimpi menjadi kenyataan. Anime horor adalah genre yang sangat bermanfaat. Sementara Horror Jepang tidak mengikuti semua aturan yang dilakukan oleh Horror Barat, emosi utamanya sama: sutradara ingin kita takut pada monster yang mereka ciptakan, merasa cemas karena karakter yang kita cintai hampir mati. , menangis ketika mereka menemui ajalnya. Dan karena setiap tahun menghadirkan anime horor baru, sudah saatnya kami memperbarui daftar rekomendasi lama kami.
10. Kagewani
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B01IV45HJK”cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Informasi episode=”13″ditayangkan=”Oktober 2015 – Desember 2015″post_id=””]
Kriptid adalah hewan yang keberadaannya belum terbukti. Bigfoot, Yeti, dan monster Loch Ness adalah beberapa yang paling terkenal. Dan ada orang yang benar-benar percaya bahwa mereka ada dan mendedikasikan hidup mereka untuk menemukan bukti keberadaan mereka. Sousuke Banba adalah salah satunya, seorang profesor perguruan tinggi yang akan menghentikan semua yang dia lakukan untuk kesempatan menyelidiki rumor serangan oleh UMA – Hewan Misterius Tak Dikenal – di mana seseorang telah meninggal. Saat itulah ketika dia menghadapi kenyataan bahwa UMA tidak hanya membunuh manusia tetapi juga dapat menyamar sebagai korban mereka, dia menyadari kengerian”Monster Bayangan”lebih buruk dari yang dia bayangkan. Kagewani adalah serial yang sangat moody. Animasi dilakukan dengan nada yang sangat abu-abu dan, di beberapa titik, sangat gelap sehingga Anda tidak dapat melihat monster. Ini membuatnya lebih menakutkan karena, seperti yang telah dicatat oleh banyak penulis sebelumnya, tidak ada yang lebih menakutkan daripada imajinasi Anda sendiri. Konflik manusia muncul ketika Sousuke mengetahui asal usul UMA yang sebenarnya dan bagaimana hal itu membuatnya melawan Masaki Kimura, seorang ilmuwan yang juga berburu UMA melalui Jepang untuk mencari tahu apa yang diinginkan monster dan apa yang membuat mereka tergerak.. Jika cerita horor favorit Anda adalah tentang makhluk tak dikenal yang menyerang orang yang tidak bersalah di hutan, Kagewani akan menjadi hit lengkap.
9. Kowabon
[sourceLink asin=”B017D3KD7Q”asin_jp=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Informasi episode=”13″ditayangkan=”Oktober 2015 – Desember 2015″post_id=””]
Film horor yang ditemukan memiliki beberapa film yang bagus. Dari The Blair Witch Project hingga Cloverfield, sangat menarik untuk melihat kengerian dari sudut pandang korban atau kamera yang tidak berkedip, bahkan jika di beberapa titik Anda berharap agar karakter utama berhenti merekam dan mulai berlari. Kowabon adalah anime yang sangat menarik yang mengemulasi format dalam cerita pendek tiga menit yang hanya memiliki kesamaan yang sangat akrab dengan Gadis Hantu berambut berserabut yang muncul untuk menyiksa korban miskin yang akan mati dengan mengerikan di video. Kowabon adalah pertunjukan yang sangat baik bagi mereka yang menyukai cerita pendek. Mereka adalah anime yang setara dengan cerita api unggun: pendek, menakutkan, dan akan membuat Anda ingin tidur dengan lampu menyala. Itu memanfaatkan gagasan bahwa teknologi bisa sama angkernya dengan rumah dan manusia, dan pada titik tertentu, Anda bahkan bisa khawatir bahwa Anda akan menjadi korban berikutnya. Di sisi lain, tampilan serial ini bisa sedikit mengecewakan, karena sebagian besar memiliki rotoscoping, sebuah teknik di mana cuplikan kehidupan nyata dilacak untuk membuat animasi.
8. Ayakashi: Horror Klasik Jepang
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B000FG6BVQ”cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Informasi episode=”11″ditayangkan=”Januari 2006 – Maret 2006″post_id=””]
Di Jepang kuno, setan dan hantu lebih aktif. Roh akan menipu manusia, membunuh mereka untuk makanan atau hanya untuk menikmati rasa sakit korban mereka, dan siapa pun yang meninggal dengan kekerasan dapat kembali sebagai roh pendendam untuk menghancurkan kehidupan musuh-musuh mereka. Seorang wanita yang telah diracuni oleh suaminya, karena dia ingin menjadi kaya, bunuh diri untuk membawa rasa sakit dan kematian yang mengerikan bagi mereka yang menghancurkan hidupnya sebagai hantu yang mengerikan. Seorang pemburu disihir oleh wasuregami cantik, dewi yang terlupakan, dan mencoba merayunya bahkan jika cinta antara dewi dan manusia dilarang. Dan Setan Kucing yang mengerikan menghantui pernikahan karena bertekad untuk tidak membiarkan siapa pun memiliki kebahagiaan di mana dia tinggal. Ayakashi adalah antologi indah dari cerita horor tradisional Jepang. Masing-masing dari mereka memiliki tampilan yang khas, sampai-sampai mereka bisa menjadi tiga seri yang terpisah. Dan semuanya berhasil menjaga suasana cerita tetap misterius, menegangkan, dan menakutkan. Mereka semua sangat berhati-hati dalam menunjukkan asal-usul cerita: Yang pertama diriwayatkan oleh penulis legenda tertentu, sedangkan yang ketiga banyak meminjam gaya karya seni Ukiyo-E dari periode Edo. Secara keseluruhan, ini adalah seri yang tidak boleh dilewatkan oleh penggemar genre J-horror.
7. Yami Shibai (Yami Shibai: Cerita Hantu Jepang)
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B00IDVPT86″cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Episode informasi=”13″ditayangkan=”Juli 2013 – September 2013″post_id=””]
Setiap sore, pendongeng datang ke lingkungan sekitar. Dengan topeng kuningnya yang terkenal, dia menghentikan gerobaknya di sudut dan menunggu anak-anak berkumpul di dekatnya. Kisah-kisah yang ia ceritakan adalah kisah lama dan klasik yang mungkin ia pelajari dari pendongeng lain. Tapi mereka semua menakutkan dan akan membuat Anda tidak bisa memejamkan mata di malam hari. Dari hantu hingga iblis, hingga monster manusia, setiap kengerian yang bisa dibayangkan dapat ditemukan dalam ceritanya. Dan tidak peduli seberapa takutnya Anda, Anda akan kembali sore berikutnya, untuk mendengar cerita baru, seperti setiap hari. Yami Shibai adalah antologi horor lainnya karena cerita pendek adalah salah satu cara terbaik untuk membuat horor bekerja. Ini juga salah satu yang sangat sukses, karena tidak memiliki satu, tetapi lima musim, yang berhasil menjaga cerita tetap segar. Tidak hanya itu, ini memungkinkan para animator untuk melakukan beberapa eksperimen yang sangat menarik untuk menjaga tampilan cerita yang menyeramkan, meskipun kebanyakan dari mereka mencoba untuk meniru kamishibai, metode bercerita tradisional Jepang, yang terdiri dari papan bergambar di atas panggung. mereka membawa sepeda mereka. Meskipun episode-episodenya sangat singkat, semuanya sangat berkesan dan sangat cocok untuk semua anjing horor.
6. Koleksi Junji Itou (Koleksi Junji Ito)
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B005IAKQ0Q”cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”12″aired=”January 2018 – March 2018″post_id=””]
A young man is stalked by a monstrous model who won’t stop at anything to be alone with him. A woman is afraid to sleep, as she fears she will never wake up; while another man in the same hospital keeps having longer and longer dreams every night. A family chooses to live as marionettes in their own house. A girl runs away from her house and her family’s increasingly weird behavior to end up in a town where there are no roads. A couple finds a strange town full of strange bushes full of red bubbles. These are some of the stories that we can find in the Junji Ito Collection. Junji Ito is a very well-known name among horror fans. Every single one of his stories can cause fear in some level, from the purely psychological, to the gross-out, while stepping in every level in between. So it’s no surprise that a series based on his short stories would be in this list. While the animation could be a bit better, it doesn’t detract from the stories themselves, which never fail to horrify viewers all over the world.
5. Mononoke
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B000UNAE6W”cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”12″aired=”July 2007 – September 2007″post_id=””]
During the Edo era in Japan, Mononoke, a type of spirit that feeds on negative human emotions, roam free. They are dangerous and can kill many humans in their path. However, there’s one man who can fight them with a special sword that helps him exorcise the demons. Known only as the”Medicine Seller”, he walks through the paths of ancient Japan helping those who need his abilities. However, exorcising the Mononoke isn’t easy: First, he must know their shape, their truth, and their reasoning. And sometimes, those show that the real monsters are the humans who helped to create the Mononoke. Mononoke is an oddity both in this list and as a horror series because it’s one of the very few that is actually a spin-off. The Medicine Seller, who is the main character and connects every case we see in the series, comes from Yami Shibai’s last story, Bakeneko. While the series doesn’t have the same aesthetics as Yami Shibai, it keeps the same atmosphere of despair and creepiness that we’ve come to expect from good ghost stories. Each story is told in three episodes, so you get the chance to savor the experience and be surprised at the conclusion.
4. Mousou Dairinin (Paranoia Agent)
[sourceLink asin=”B003N3H568″asin_jp=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”13″aired=”February 2004 – May 2004″post_id=””]
Fear takes many forms. But while we can take comfort in the fact that many horrible monsters don’t exist, there are some other forms that are not easily disproved. After all, how do you prove that you’re not being watched? That you’re not being stalked? Of course, there’s a chance you are not, but that doesn’t change the fact that you think twice about walking down a particularly dark street alley. And while 99% of the time, that alley will be completely safe, there’s that 1% to worry about. This is what happens to some people in Japan, when a kid in inline skates known as Shounen Batto, or Lil’Slugger attacks them. And soon, everyone is afraid to walk the streets. Mousou Dairinin is an amazing psychological horror story. While the figure of Lil’Slugger and his M.O. are terrifying –seriously, just try to walk the streets at night after a marathon of the series, we will wait for you here-, the real fear comes when you start figuring out how he chooses his victims and realize that, in the end, we all have the kind of secrets that can trigger an attack. That’s right, Lil’Slugger could come to bat against us. And there is where the effectiveness of this horror anime can be found: When it gives form to the viewer’s own guilt and fears, to make them as paranoid as the characters in the series.
3. Perfect Blue
[sourceLink asin=”B0011FNDV6″asin_jp=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”1″aired=”February 1998 “post_id=””]
Mima Kirigoe is tired of her life as an idol singer, so she decides to leave her group,”Cham!”, in order to follow her dreams to become an actress. Unfortunately for her, this enrages her fans to the point that one of them starts stalking her, while others seem happy to send her threats by fax. Still, and despite the existence of a website that seems to be written by her and details her life with disturbing detail, Mima tries to keep going. Even her manager, Rumi Hikada, tells her to ignore the site and the stalking. However, that’s when things start to escalate, as many crewmembers of the show she’s acting in are murdered and Mima doesn’t even know what’s real anymore. Perfect Blue was the cinematic directorial debut of the great late Satoshi Kon, who also directed Mousou Dairinin. Both anime deal with the subject of reality, media, fear and identity in a way that became the director’s signature. And although certain elements of the story have aged badly and the final twist has been probably spoiled to everyone thanks to the internet, it’s still one of the scariest anime you can ever watch thanks to the excellent directing and the gorgeous animation.

2. Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””cdj_product_id=”ANSB-1838″text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”26″aired=”October 2005 – April 2006″post_id=””]
Grudges grow and can fester, a small injury can seem like the most terrible insult, and sometimes, those insults and injuries are really rage-inducing. No matter how big or small your grudge really is; there’s a way those who hurt you will pay with eternal damnation. Just find the mysterious site that only opens to those who harbor a deep resentment in their hearts, the Hell Correspondence, and put their names there. Soon, you will be visited by the Hell Girl, Ai Enma, who will give you a choice: Let go of your grudge or let your enemies be punished. Just be aware that if she brings the wrath of Hell onto those who hurt you, the payment will be your soul. Hell Girl, known as Jigoku Shoujo in Japan, is one of the most successful horror stories that we’ve seen in recent years, with five seasons to date. And, unlike other anthologies in the list, each chapter is half an hour long, and every season has a longer reaching arc that connects every episode. Keeping the tension for that long is a challenge for horror stories, and it’s the reason why Hell Girl is still one of the top titles mentioned in every recommendation list.

1. Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (Parasyte –the maxim-)
[sourceLink asin=”B019KDXAFY”asin_jp=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”24″aired=”October 2014 – March 2015″post_id=””]
Imagine this for a moment: One day you wake up, and your mother is not quite right. She looks like your mother, she sounds like your mother, but there’s something odd in her movements and voice. And then, before you can react, she grabs you, her head opens like a melon full of teeth, and you’re getting your head chomped. This is how the Parasite invasion begins, with people being infected by space worms while they sleep, and then the Parasites feeding on their unsuspecting families. The one exception so far is Shinichi Izumi, who would’ve been a victim of one of the parasites, only that since he was wearing headphones, the worm can’t reach his brain and instead ends up in his right hand, as a symbiote. Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu draws inspiration from one of the greatest horror movies of all times, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Just like that movie, it manages to maintain a mix of science fiction and paranoia during the whole story as we, just like Shinichi, can’t tell which people he meets are humans, and which ones are parasites that will kill him and Migi, his right hand parasite, for the simple fact that they are an anomaly. Adding to this the fact that the parasites are not only very unsettling even in human form, but also the murders they commit are particularly gory, making this a quite horrifying series.

Final Thoughts
Horror is a very hard genre to write, and even harder to show on video. Stephen King once said that there was nothing scarier than what the audience can’t see and that showing the monster immediately breaks the tension, and he’s partly right. No matter how horrifying a monster is, it can’t be as bad as the one we were imagining before. This is why good horror anime series should be celebrated, because a great horror series is only the result of a lot of hard work from animators, writers, and directors. And yet, we know that fear is something very personal. What we fear may not be what you fear. So let us know, what do you think of the series in this list? Do you agree, and if so, why? And of course, which series do you think we missed? Don’t forget to check our previous versions of the list, and then give us your comments below.

Introduction
Previously we had published a list for Top 10 Horror Anime almost a year and a half ago. In order to keep up to date with current shows, it is important to update from time to time, we bring you now an updated list! Be sure to also scroll down and read our previous list as well! Horror can run down a lot of different routes. There’s the horror that shocks you with a sudden jump scare forcing a little shriek from your mouth. There’s also the horror that sticks to you through a sense of paranoia that infects your head and gives you nightmares. There’s even some moments where horror is derived from just the sheer amount of gore that assaults your sight. Pulling from shows that masterfully portray at least one aspect of horror, if not ingenuously blending each together, this list is one best to watch with a friend. Don’t forget to scroll down below and you’ll see some similarities as there are just some shows that can’t be beat, but also some differences as new contenders over the past couple years have established themselves with the best of the best.
10. Ajin
[sourceLink asin=”B01FFB5HHY”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”13″aired=”Jan. 2016 – Apr. 2016″]
As one of the most recent horror anime on this list, Ajin, takes us into a world of terrorism, misinformation, and immortals. For a long time Ajin, supernatural/immortal beings, have lived in relative peace with humanity. At least that’s the status quo as there have only been a couple documented interactions. However, this all changes in Japan when one psychopathic Ajin, Satou, begins to bomb and terrorize the city all the while wearing his trademark close-eyed grin. Ajin succeeds in providing a unique blend of horror for its viewers. Between the gritty action sequences of Satou capping people in the foot, knee, face with a shotgun (still smiling) and moments of nationwide paranoia, you’ll be kept on pins and needles. Though many might not like the animation style, Polygon Pictures’s choice of CG is actually used to great effect. It creates this sort of puppetry quality, despite being very fluid, that unsettles the nerves. Most people feel like they’re wearing a mask of some sort and so it’s hard to weed through what’s true and what’s not.
9. Another
[sourceLink asin=”B00C3JUGZA”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”12″aired=”Jan. 2012 – Mar. 2012″]
Another sends you off to Class 3-3 of Yomiyama North, the class of which a popular student died within back in 1972. As we follow Kouichi Sakakibara into this classroom, we’re immediately thrown off balance by a rather eerie, gloom-filled class, complete with the eyepatch-wearing Mei Misaki. Despite, the eyepatch, no one seems to notice her except for Kei. Thus following primarily Kouichi and Mei, Another embarks on a quest to discover what phenomenon has been tormenting the students. This show is practically the anime equivalent of Final Destination, however, with a bit more narrative depth. The horror Another haunts us with is a combination of an extremely tense environment mixed with brutal deaths. Umbrella points impaling bodies, elevators crashing and speed boats cutting bodies apart are just a few of the type of deaths you can expect. Are you cringing yet? Ultimately, Another makes you aware and afraid of everything you do. Is it safe to be twirling this pencil about my fingers? What if it slips and pierces an eye. Time to put it down.
8. Gakkou Gurashi
[sourceLink asin=”B01DXHYUD4″asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”12″aired=”Jul. 2015 – Sep. 2015″]
Often times, the high school years are seen as the golden years of life. Yuki Takeya understands that her time in high school has been so great at Megurigaoka that she never wants to leave. However, the backdrop of her friends and all the awesome times they’ve had in their club is simply a façade. In truth, a zombie outbreak has left them isolated in their school. The other survivors are torn psychologically between the horror of their current predicament and their attempts to create a blissful world for Yuki, if not for themselves as well. Gakkou Gurashi’s horror is particularly well done in its contrast with the rather youthful animation style and character designs. This contrast dissects the reality of the situation and creates a confusing mess of emotions that you will need to sort through. Essentially, his show is a breeding ground for paranoia because so much of it depends on deception. Thus, it’s difficult at times to trust what you’re being presented. Nonetheless, it keeps you attached as you’ll be constantly wondering two things: will they survive and who’s really saving who in this terrifying situation.
7. Deadman Wonderland
[sourceLink asin=”B008NNY9J4″asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”12″aired=”Apr. 2011 – Jul. 2011″]
Deadman Wonderland is a terrifying adventure from beginning to end. It throws into what seems to be an average school life anime, but then Ganta Igarashi’s entire classroom is blown up and he is framed for the crime. From that point he enters the maddening, horror-filled world of the prison Deadman Wonderland. Each episode of Deadman Wonderland has at least one moment that makes you turn your head and cringe, physically in pain from the brutality and gore. His classroom being blown up and the carnage afterwards was already pretty gruesome, but the horror is taken to the extreme when shown the false video during the trial. The scene, in rather sickening detail, portrays a reel of atrocity, including the raping of a dead body. That’s how this show starts off. From there, its blood and death from obstacle course killing fields to underground fighting rings. Adding fuel to every moment is the disturbed nature of most of the characters, with several murderers having an almost child-like demeanor that will send shivers down your back.
6. Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen (The Garden of Sinners: Paradox Spiral)
[sourceLink asin=”B001HUN1OO”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”1″aired=”Aug. 2008″]
This fifth chapter of the Kara no Kyoukai film series follows the events following a double homicide committed by Tomoe Enjou. To Tomoe’s confusion though, it doesn’t seem that the media or police are covering the case. In fact, he finds out his mother, who he was sure he killed, is still alive. Despite being the fifth installment of a series, which is altogether worth your time, most people can jump right into this movie without feeling completely lost in its narrative. You will have to pay attention, because the plot can take some drastic turns, but it’s worth every ounce of your attention. Between an intensive noir-like setting with hard lines and dark colors as well as the number of corpses that pile up, Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen is one nightmarish ride. To grasp just how grand of a psychological twist this series can pull off, one character takes over an entire apartment building and causes the occupants to kill one another. From there, he has copies of the inhabitants re-enact their grisly murders/suicides hoping to find a deviation in their deaths. It’s this type of horror that makes up the entire series.
5. Ghost Hunt
[sourceLink asin=”B002FOQXUK”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”25″aired=”Oct. 2006 – Mar. 2007″]
Taniyama Mai’s school has been experiencing quite a few supernatural phenomena. To solve these incidents the principal has called in the president of the Shibuya Psychic Research Company, Shibuya Kazuya. During Kazuya’s initial investigation, Mai happens to interfere and accidentally injure Kazuya’s assistant. Thus, Kazuya drafts her into service and Mai gets to see behind the scenes of the stories she loves to gossip about. As an anime, Ghost Hunt’s horror is reminiscent of the ghost tales told around a campfire or while spending the night at a friend’s house. At that very moment, the story seems all too possible and immediately you begin to imagine monsters and ghosts to be hiding in the shadows. The show is filled with a range of suspenseful moments, but few have the lasting, bedeviling effect of the time Kazuya finds himself in a silent stare down with a ghost that intends to kill him at the first sign of weakness.
4. Yami Shibai
[sourceLink asin=”B019KDX9TQ”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”39″aired=”Jul. 2013 – Apr. 2016″]
Presented in the style of Kamishibai performances, which utilizes paper figures and backgrounds, Yami Shibai has rounded up its third season of terrifying shorts. With each four-minute episode being a standalone story of horror, Yami Shibai has a few unique qualities that make it stand out from the rest. First, and most obviously, its animation is an artistic mix of kamishibai, photos, and a moment or two of live action that create a peculiar static tension that is impossible to get away from. It creates a certain desire to see them move that’s akin to having an itch you can’t reach. It’s also reminiscent of staring at the dull and lifeless qualities of a doll’s eye, which works extremely well in this show. Mix these qualities in with impeccable sound setting the mood, and you’ll be captivated from season one’s ghost and curses to the inescapable, too-close-to-home situations of the third season. Truly, this show proves that no place is ever safe. From a simple drive home to your bedroom to a bathhouse, evil will find you.
3. Hell Girl

Have you ever wished death upon someone? Well, Hell Girl gives you a chance for that wish to become reality. In the world that Studio Deen created, Jigoku Tsuushin (Hell Correspondence) allows people to input the names of their enemies onto a website. The peoples whose names are written are then ferried to hell immediately by Ai Enma, while the prosecutor will join them upon death as payment. Hell Girl’s narrative, style, and sound come together in glorious unison to provide viewers with an exceptional taste horror. From the constant harassment and bullying of victims in the real world to the nightmarish traps for those being punished by Ai, there is always something haunting. When you first experience one of Ai’s nightmarish traps, set up with the help of three straw dolls in the school hallways, you’ll fully understand just how twisted and deceptive this anime is. Do yourself and remember Golden Rule, people. However, what really pushes this show so far forward is its ability to provide a lasting narrative. Most horror type shows can only provide so many thrills for so long, but Hell Girl is able to successfully introduce character after character, fleshing out the abuse and paranoia created from bullies and stalkers, and convince us as viewers to invest our time into another person’s nightmare.

2. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry)
[sourceLink asin=”B018AXRO1Q”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”26″aired=”Apr. 2006 – Sep. 2006″]
Studio Deen’s 2006 masterpiece, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, follows Keiichi Maebara as he moves to a quiet little village and quickly becomes friends with schoolmates Rena Ryuuguu, Mion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and Rika Furude. As the village gets ready for a festival, the show almost feels as if it’s about to turn into a generic harem. However, Keiichi starts to learn about murders and other terrible events that seem to have some connection with the festival and the village’s patron god, Oyashiro. Like any normal person, Keiichi turns to his friends for advice to find out that they’re not really people he should have ever called friends. First things first, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is incredibly well-written and staged out. Though, some might be confused when a dead character comes back, the episodes are composed in certain arcs, and it’s honestly for the best as it forces you to piece together certain narrative elements and relationships. Also, it allows us to better analyze the specific mental states of each character by dividing itself into these arcs. With all the madness and mental instability that are depicted in this anime, it might have been too much to handle if it followed a more normal narrative. Now, the narrative has a lot of other strong suits, such as its ability to suspend our disbelief and make us fully agree that these people we just met are cult/homicidal psychopaths. Nonetheless, the story would not have as much impact as it would have if it wasn’t for the gore that ensued within each episode. People drive pins through a finger and then axe somebody, people throw their own necks into knives, nails get ripped off, and that is only a taste of what this horror fest has in store.

[sourceLink asin=”B015UBO3SI”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] [Information episodes=”4″aired=”Jul 24, 2013″]
Nine students hold congress in their high school one night to say goodbye to a friend. With youthful tendencies, they decide that this farewell needs to be incorporated with a particular ritual using small paper charm dolls. These dolls, however, are connected to an alternate dimension of an elementary school that used to reside where their high school now stands. A maze of sorts, these nine students must work together to get out of this nightmarish environment. Cruel ghosts and maddening traps galore, Corpse Party is the Saw of anime. The mastermind behind every trap and ounce of torture that the students face is the ghost Sachiko, a young girl who was murdered back when the grounds were an elementary school. Now, she is one angry ghost and takes a lot of pleasure out of torturing the people who are unlucky enough to be sent to her domain. Whether it’s gouging out eyes, cutting of tongues or cutting a person’s head in half little by little with scissors, Sachiko doesn’t have any limit to the horror she can inflict. The gore alone is enough to sate most horror fanatics. However, the mystery and overall story behind is Corpse Party is strong enough that some with squeamish stomachs might even find themselves unable to stop. It’s compelling and even though it might terrorize your dreams, it’s hard to stop before finding out what drives young Sachiko.

Conclusion
Horror really is a wide genre and this list mainly covers the cream of the crop of the more “normal” type of horror. That’s to say these shows primarily stick with ghosts, mysteries, and murder. However, there are shows that fall 50% in horror and then 50% in the monster and supernatural category that will blow your mind with their own brand of terror. Vampire Hunter D and Hellsing are two great examples if you’re looking for something a bit more fictitious.

Anime in general is pretty unique and vastly interesting when it comes to imagination and story-telling.A lot of anime are very futuristic, eccentric, bizarre, etc. When thinking about anime, not many think about the horror that can be created with these same genres in mind. If someone, like a friend, were to say “let’s watch something that’s in the category of Horror”, you would immediately think about movies, not really anime. Hopefully, that will change when you check out these selections of anime that are based on horror. In this “Top 10 List”, you will find anime that has everything a horror story should have. For example, gore, tragedy, death, monsters, zombies, killers, etc. Get ready to clear your daily schedule, turn off the lights, invite some friends, and maybe have popcorn ready. Although, popcorn might be a bad idea, don’t want to create a mess or choke on a piece of popcorn. Now that would be scary!

3. Parasyte (JPN: Kiseijuu)
[sourceLink asin=”B00QTHHY84″asin_jp=””text=””url=””] This anime is very good and I noticed that the anime came out many years ago. The anime series going on as I type is probably the best adaptation to the manga I can imagine. The anime follows a 17 year-old named Shinichi Izumi, who lives in a quiet neighborhood of Tokyo. One night, weird looking creatures begin to surface on Earth, host onto humans while taking control of their brains. They become known as Parasytes, and they enter through the nose or ears in order to control their host. One day, Shinichi encounters a Parasyte, but it was unable to enter his ear or nose and instead burrowed through his arm. Preventing it from traveling further into his body, he contained it in his arm and began to restrain its influence while being able to develop a strong bond and work together. Thus, helping Shinichi keep his untainted brain from being hosted by other Parasytes as he struggles to survive. [hide]

4. Mononoke
[sourceLink asin=”B00IXL1J3U”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] This anime contains a number of short horror stories that are both scary and influential. The anime follows a character only known as the Medicine Seller, and follows a storyline similar to Mushishi. The Medicine Seller encounters spirits called, Mononoke, and sometimes fights them to the point of destruction. He gains knowledge by learning their name, truth, and reason for existing in the world. So he can exorcise the demon back from whence they came. It’s kind of hard to describe this anime without spoiling the series entirely. But, I assure you, its worth watching!
5. Corpse Party: Tortured Souls
[sourceLink asin=”B015UBO3SI”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] This is a great horror anime! Even though it’s a short four-episode series, it is memorable. It was originally a game, then turned into a manga, and then an anime. The process of transitioning from one category to the other in sense of media type, shows how popular this title was and yet, not many people know about it! The story takes place at an elementary school called, Heavenly Host, which is torn and destroyed due to occurring murders and disappearances of several staff and students of the school. As time goes by, another school called Kisaragi Academy, is constructed on the same grounds of the Heavenly Host. One night, a group of students begin to tell ghost stories when an earthquake begins and suddenly transports the students present at the time to another dimension. In this dimension, Heavenly Host still exists and is haunted by ghosts of the murdered students once enrolled there. [sourceLink asin=”B00J7FH3YU”asin_jp=””text=””url=””]
6. Requiem from the Darkness
[sourceLink asin=”B01AT7SNPM”asin_jp=””text=””url=””] This anime is pretty good. Its full of crazy encounters and lots of unsettling situations that would make a normal person go insane. This anime takes place during the Bakumatsu of the Edo period where a young writer named, Monosuke, begins to do research for his next project of writing a book that contains 100 ghost stories. While doing research for old myths and legends, he comes across a very mysterious group of three characters who call themselves the Ongyou.

Every time Monosuke crosses paths with the Ongyou, he faces the horrible truths and must battle his morals while seeing things no one should see…. [hide]

Ghouls are human-like creatures with a hunger for human flesh who hunt and devour anyone crossing their paths. The woman critically injures Kaneki sending him to the hospital.

9. Hell Girl

The website is know as the Jigoku Tsushin and is rumored that if someone has a grudge, all they have to do is enter a post about that person and they will soon be judged in some of the most scariest ways. In doing so, the Jigoku Shoujo (a little girl) will suddenly appear and drag whoever torments you into the firey depths of hell.
