ninjewtsu: Oct 9, 2012

You've checked out currently airing dorohedoro right? I wouldn't really call it horror but "horror adjacent" is pretty right on the money, though the manga leans more horror the further into it you get so the anime might not be the best source of that

the higurashi anime really plays up the violent horror-y bits tbh, the actual core of the story by the end is. way more of a goofy adventure story about everyone coming to terms with their personal trauma and anxieties

Tales of Woe: Dec 18, 2004

yeah the second season of the anime is a lot slower and more mystery/thriller than horror

i dunno how the anime handles episode 8 but in vn form episode 8 of higurashi is legitimately just like, a fun thrill ride where everyone gets to look super cool for at least one scene lol

The second season has some neat tone shifts like that, yeah.

Some of the non-gore oriented horror recommended earlier in the thread is much appreciated since I genuinely can't get enough horror anime, but I'm interested in seeing if anyone has any recommendations without any restrictions? AKA the gorier the better in contrast with the previous recs

I watched Higurashi no naku koro ni as a kid and it's due for a revisit. Same with Elfen Lied, though it may not be due for a revisit, thinking about it. Another was very good, Shiki was fun if not overtly impressive. I've watched a ton more but have the issue of not being able to recall their names in retrospect.

Monster is one of my favorite pieces of fiction in any media, period, so I'm open to slow pacing and long series, along with stuff that might only be horror-adjacent.

i suggest getting into horror manga instead as theres way more, and way better of it but

alien 9
the first 2 devilman ovas
Kikoushi Enma (ova series, not the other 2)

and uh check my post history in this thread as i think ive made horror recs like 30 times now

IShallRiseAgain: Sep 12, 2008; Well ain't that precious?

Aside from the super anime character designs, Shiki is actually really good. It allows itself to be slower paced, and has a neat approach to a horror story. Make sure to watch the OVA right before the final episode though, it wraps up some of the subplots and I'm not sure why it wasn't part of the original broadcast.

Mononoke is another good horror anime. Its a horror anthology series with a wandering protagonist linking them all.

I made a halloween thread in ADTRW awhile back, and I was surprised how few horror animes there actually are.

Genocyber, stop after the first episode if you want good, stop after the third episode unless you hate yourself.

On the higurashi note, watch both season if you do but skip the ovas they are traaaaaaaaash.

if you can handle following an ongoing manga Monkey Peak is a survival horror thing with a group of employees from a pharma company on a day trip to the mountains who run afoul of some very murderous monkey-creatures. There's some gore but I don't care for really gory stuff and it's been at a level that was fine for me so far. It's updating about twice a month right now.

Binged this. I like how the office dynamics are carried into the survival scenario. Plus the monkey is very cool.

Fat surprise it's apparently a light novel or something.

Really makes me want to revisit Death Note.

There's going to be a new Higurashi anime, so you may want to wait on that until they announce what it actually is.

the death note guys are really funny because their manga about shonen jump, bakuman, has a segment where one of the guys goes 'huh, girls read shonen jump, right?' and their editor immediately goes "YES BUT THEY ARENT IMPORTANT" and this is never acknowledged again. the death note guys should be kissing the feet of and swearing loyalty to the fujos who read shonen jump, lol

IMO the designs are a big part of what make Shiki work. Everyone has a very over-exaggerated hairstyle to serve as visual shorthand so that it doesn't have to spend even more time establishing its huge cast. Also as an English viewer it made it easier cause I remember a lot of the names in it being unfamiliar to me, whether it's due to time period or writer fiat

My sister in law asked me for suggestions for a show to watch with her kids (girls, 10 and 11 years old) which would also be a good candidate for group cosplay for the three of them.

I would have just shoved Precure at them, but unfortunately it has to be something available on Crunchyroll.

Sadly anime for young girls is a massive blindspot for most streaming platforms.

Crunchyroll does have cardcaptor sakura, though. Shugo Chara as well, though I'm not sure if that would have enough charactwes for everyone. Maybe Wish Upon The Pleiades? For non magical girl anime, Yuru Camp would be appropriate and I could see kids finding it funny and relaxing, rhough it might be too laidback for them. Depends how much of an attention span they've got.

And its on netflix, not Crunchy, but if theyve got netflix as well, Little Witch Academia?

Cardcaptor Sakura or Shugo Chara might work! Thanks.

I actually gave them Yuru Camp and LWA on a USB stick ages ago, but no dice, despite one of the kids being a huge Harry Potter fan.
