Best Horror Anime
The title says it all. Which horror anime freak you out the most?
Another is an anime based upon the Novel and Manga of the same name by Yukito Ayatsuji. There also exists a live action movie based on the novel. I don't consider this anime very scary, honestly, it didn't make me feel horrified at all and the deaths didn't get to me either. They were entertaining to watch and surprising since you don't know who's gonna live and who's gonna die, so I'll give the anime that. I mainly liked the last two episodes since everything went to chaos and it just felt... fun! Okay that may sound a bit messed up, but I like murder montages. I still enjoyed the whole anime altogether, the mysteries were good, and to sum this up, the anime isn't that scary except if you're frightened of gore, or if the tense situations got to you.
Arrivederci.
For me it was really scary .
It was acutaly my first horror anime ever .
I was back then 13 .
What was way to young .
The only anime I think was scarier is elfen lied.
I think if you're a real horror fan it's not that scary but if you're not then you should watch it.
It has to a great story and plotline.
Sorry for my bad English
Elfen Lied is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Lynn Okamoto. It was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump from June 2002 to August 2005, with the 107 chapters collected into twelve tankōbon volumes. I do love horror things, such as Another, Tokyo Ghoul, Higurashi, plenty others. But none of them scared me. Ellen Lied scared me so much, yet it's such a great series. If you're looking for a good horror anime to watch, I totally recommend Ellen Lied, if you want a good scare.
I loved this anime. It's very bloody and gorey, but it's also heartbreaking and sad. I feel bad for all the diclonii and I really hate that organization that they have. It's a very good anime, and if you say it's horrible and that all there is is blood and gore, you only watched 5 minutes of the anime. Finish watching the series
This is one of my favourite anime series of all time. Lucy is amazing my favourite character. The gore is perfectly balanced with the story line. I just wish there was more. The ending disappointed me a little. But is still my favourite...
Future Diary is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sakae Esuno. The plot surrounds a battle royale in which each combatant has a diary with entries from the future. The manga was serialized in the Kadokawa Shoten's Shōnen Ace between January 2006 and December 2010. A survival game for those who are chosen to participate fight to the death and the last standing becomes god and prevents the apocalypse from taking over. Beware of Yuno.
Even though this anime scarred me for life, it's still my favourite anime, up there with Elfen Lied and PMMM.
Truly amazing! So many plot twists it left me wanting more!
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, also known as "When They Cry," is a Japanese horror anime and visual novel series. Originally created by Ryukishi07, the series is set in the fictional village of Hinamizawa and follows a group of friends who become involved in mysterious, often violent events. Known for its nonlinear storytelling and psychological horror elements, the series has garnered a cult following... read more As much as I love Elfen Lied, this show fits the horror genre perfectly. I have watched most of it and it is so creepy. It isn't entirely gore like Elfen Lied but has a really creepy atmosphere keeping the suspense and half way through you can almost predict what will happen. Best horror anime. Recommended by me. ( I haven't actually watched another though )
Season 1 scares and confuses the crap out of you, then Season 2 wraps everything up satisfyingly and beautifully, while still scaring the crap out of you. It's characters are all deep and realistic to some extent and the mystery and story is excellently laid out for us
The best horror anime to ever exist. Has mystery and it's very hard to piece together. It's really scary and deserves to be number 1. Elfen Lied, and Another aren't really horror in my opinion.
Tokyo Ghoul is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump between September 2011 and September 2014, and it has been collected in fourteen tankōbon volumes as of August 2014. This is my ABSOLUTE favorite anime and I've watched a lot of anime's over my years and this is the most gore one I've ever watched.
I love it and Kaneki is so badass with his white hair and mask!
All we need now is a unsencored version
I suggest with my life this is the scariest series containing four episodes you will ever see. I nearly threw up watching them and actually made me gag several times with guts, gore, and extreme blood and torture! P.S. if you have wattpad, search up Sachiko's Game of Madness! Really bloody but quite good. It is a crossover between Mirai Nikki (The future Diaries) and Corpse party I found. Well, the anime is probably the best horror I have ever seen so go look it up (the anime) it's also a game too!
Watched this at midnight while home alone. It was a mistake. I couldn't go.to sleep. Because I was laughing too hard at the death scenes. Did the same with future diary, another, Higurashi, and Elden Lied. Again, keep in mind that I'm only twelve. I need help.
Good grief... I made a mistake of watching SOME of this... Even the RPG is so scary. I get easily scared of paranormal stuff
Death Note is a Japanese television drama anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
The show is centered around Light Yagami - a promising highschooler and aspiring detective with a strong sense of "justice". Not traditionally spooky, but certainly has the best story ever for a horror anime. Are you smart enough to predict what will happen before it does? Will you guess what happens at the end before you see it? Make sure Kira does not write your name on the notebook, for otherwise, your time is short.
How? It's a great thriller series, and a great anime in general, but there's nothing about it that makes it a horror.
I love Death Note but it's not a horror. It's suspenseful and mysterious but in no way is it meant to be scary.
Deadman Wonderland is a Japanese manga series written by Jinsei Kataoka and illustrated by Kazuma Kondou, who also wrote and illustrated the Eureka Seven manga, and published in Shōnen Ace since 2008. Can't wait to see second series of this totally awesome and gripping anime. Deadman wonderland is so bizzare and so brilliant. Love it.
This anime is so amazing!
This Prison is hell
Hellsing is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kouta Hirano. It chronicles the efforts of the mysterious and secret Hellsing Organization, as it combats vampires, ghouls, and other supernatural foes who threaten England. This one should be higher up on the list. It's
one of my most favorite horror anime
Violence Jack is a Japanese manga, co-written and co-illustrated by Go Nagai since 1973, all the way to 2008. It has had several serializations and one-shot stories which have run in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Most of the stories have been compiled in around 45 tankōbon while a few of them ...read more.Love it. But it didn't freak me out a whole lot. The second episode was the main one that scared me cause I was watching it when an old man walked on to the front porch and attempted to open the door. I went and got a knife and stood there mentally dating him to open that door and see how long he lasted. Also my second fear is being stalked do it freaked me out anyway.
The animation was great. The music was incredible. The story line towards the end of the season was really good, horror wise. This has become one of my favorite anime of all time.
The first episode is scary as hell! The rest was meh. But the animation was great.
This anime was entertaining and several times had me scared to go into any room alone.
The only anime that left me wanting more,but had the most perfect ending I don't know how they could continue. Love this anime!
Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014. It is best known for its emotional moments, apocalyptic setting, and its dramatic story line, and action packed scenes. The first episode made me feel sick due to its use of gore, but I have to admit it remains one of my favorites. It's relatively disturbing and not for the faint of heart, but it's beautiful and has a nice payoff. It definitely deserves a higher position.
What will Humanity do after an enemy appear who eat humans?
This is something nobody want to see happening to their loved ones...and in this anime, most just prioritize suicide before getting eaten. It's horrible.
This is relatively disturbing. You honestly cannot tear your eyes away. Although you may get used to the gore, you are always excited for the next chomp out of a person. The art is great and really gets the you!
Hellsing is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kouta Hirano. It premiered in Young King OURs in 1997 and ended in September 2008. Vampires and Zombies. Am I missing something?
Shiki is a horror novel by Japanese novelist Fuyumi Ono. It was originally published in two parts by Shinchosha in 1998, it was then reprinted into five parts in 2002. A manga series adapting the story, drawn by Ryu Fujisaki, was serialized in the Japanese monthly magazine Jump SQ from December 2007 ...read more. Easily one of, if not the best horror anime out there. It starts off somewhat slow, but the last few episodes are an unforgettable masterpiece that will stick with you and leave you absolutely terrified.
A frikin amazing anime! My 6th favorite of all time! This is a must watch horror anime!
Not scary just stupid
I love devilman. Its probably my favorite anime (both crybaby and the 80s ovas)
How is it a horror? The original was just boring and predictable with nothing interesting about it let alone scary. And the dub was a great comedy, but nothing about it was a horror.
Anime version of The Walking Dead.
It wasn't very scary to be honest but I think it was still pretty good
If you say that this is a anime version of the walking dead then you haven't seen this
Monster (Japanese: モンスター Hepburn: Monsutā, sometimes referred to as "Naoki Urasawa's Monster") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa. Monster has been critically acclaimed, with the manga having won several awards and its anime adaptation being called one of ...read more. A creepy and mysterious psychological horror anime that is (in one word) AWESOME!
It's awesome...! A must watch!
The anime was simulcast by Crunchyroll outside of Asia. Aside from the manga and anime, the series also has two live-action film adaptations. The Chinese Ministry of Culture blacklisted Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu as well as 37 other works on June 9, 2015. ...read more. It's just amazing, I watched it in 2 days.
It was really creepy, but the end was so beautiful! I was literally crying..
A must-see anime!
Way better than a lot of the horror animes on here, should be third to elfen lied and future diary.
Screw Tokyo Ghoul. This is obviously better.
Paranoia Agent is a Japanese anime television series created by director Satoshi Kon and produced by Madhouse about a social phenomenon in Musashino, Tokyo caused by a juvenile serial assailant named Lil' Slugger.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, written by Gen Urobuchi, music by Yuki Kajiura, opening sang by ClariS, ending by Kalafina (sometimes by the seiyuus) and original characters by Ume Aoki. This isn't even horror, why did this get mentioned? Sure there may be a few blood scene but it isn't really physiological or gruesome. Great anime in all comparisons but not scary
WHAT THE CRAP?!?! What the heck is this on here for?!?! This is not a horror it's just depressing
Most beautiful anime I've ever seen.
Boku no Pico is an anime series of three OVA episodes created by Katsuhiko Takayama. It was released to DVD on September 17, 2006. I am scared forever. Nothing can terrify me more than this anime. I can't sleep at nights because of this. Its very traumatic. Watch at your own risk!
With all honesty I respect this anime as a form of artistic expression as it says at the beginning of every episode. I don't personally like it but you could show some respect by taking it off the list
This is the most terrifying anime out there. The other animes don't come close! I had to watch the opening as a dare...
I was SH00K
