3 Hellsing Ultimate 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.

The scene where the girl explodes both the boys' heads for murdering her dog was very satisfying, but extremely violent.

This anime makes Attack on Titan look like the Teletubbies.

5 Tokyo Ghoul 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.

8 Claymore Claymore is a dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Norihiro Yagi.

15 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is an anime and manga franchise originally written by Hirohiko Araki. It centers around the perilous journey of the members of the legendary Joestar bloodline.

All the parts have some sort of violence but Part 1 and 5 are the most violent. There are literal disfigurements in both these parts.

16 Parasyte 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.

Parasyte is more violent than AOT and Tokyo ghoul but it's also better

17 Deadman Wonderland 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.
18 Basilisk
19 Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc

This is so messed up. The characters are brilliant and likeable, but then all hell breaks loose. It may appear fine at first, but then there's brainwashing, the student council killing game, and scenes I refuse to even mention. I recommend this one if you're interested enough in mystery.

20 Genocyber

This show has the violence of Hostel, the entire Saw series, Green Inferno, and The Thing combined into one series

21 Kite
