The bus crash arc in The Fruit of Grisaia.
Vinland Saga
Psycho Pass season 1
Probably Akame ga Kill for me.
Plot is cool for sure but come on, the execution wasnt that Deep or dark
True but to be fair I haven’t watched many dark animes yet.
Fair
Madoka.
Even after all these years and rewatches, it can still draw me in. And Magia still sends chills up my spine.
Serial Experiments Lain.
I was rewatching a couple of episodes and I had forgotten how eerie and creepy this one was.
Present day, present time…
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - half of the episodes are so fucking dark that you literally can’t see shit
Takopi’s Original Sin
Even the “good ending” is a bad ending.
On the one hand, it’s incredibly well-made. On the other hand I’m not sure I ever want to watch that ever again.
That’s how I feel about Grave of the Fireflies. I’ve only seen the first episode or two of Tokopi, but my spouse and I knew we had to put it down at the time. Maybe someday.
It took me awhile to finish it too but I’d still recommend finishing Takopi if you started it
Wierd pick, but Dorohedoro.
The world and main plot are undeniably dark. But at the same time side threads and charachters have a juxtaposed wholesome and positive outlook, and tonally things work like a slice of life a lot of the time.
It’s great.
Followed up by Dai Dark by the same author
No anime for that looks like
Since nobody mentioned it yet: The Promised Neverland
It started with a very strong hook, had a middle section full of suspense, and ended the best way I could hope for.
The ending was good?
Yeah I never ended up finishing season 2 as I heard it was a mess and non-canon etc
That is what took me off from the show.
Yeah
The Promised Neverland ending
They managed to achieve the best possible outcome for Emma’s gang, getting everyone out from there.
The only thing they had to sacrifice was one of Emma’s ears.
- Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
- Vivy
- God Eater
- Gunslinger Girls
- Noir
- Area 88
- Ergo Proxy
- NieR:Automata Ver1.1a
Dusk maiden is so fucking underrated!!🫶
If you’re interested, the manga goes into much more detail about the history between the sisters.
Thx for the tip
Absolutely
Area 88 was a gut-punch I wasn’t expecting. So bleak.
The original even more than the reboot
Mirai Nikki Elfen Lied Psycho pass
Top three because I couldn’t pick a favourite from them if I tried.
Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied, Psycho pass. In case anyone needed commas.
Those were supposed to be on new lines. Will teach me not to supervise my own comments.
I’ve found in all the mobile apps I’ve used, ya gotta double enter to get new lines to actually show up. Maybe I’m also doing something wrong, but that’s what works for me on Eternity anyway.
That’s standard markdown
You can also force new lines by ending a line with two spaces:
End with 2 spaces of the end of the line like this
Then this appears on a new lineOtherwise with one space or no spaces at the end of a line, markdown dictates concatenating the lines
End with 1 space of the end of the line like this Then this gets concatenated on the end of a previous line.
or
End with no spaces of the end of the line like this Then this gets concatenated on the end of a previous line, but with a space mysteriously appearing between the concatenated parts.
I knew I should learn more about Markdown, was thinking about moving notes over to Obsidian but went Anytype instead.
Psycho Pass is good though it’s not SUPER dark. Very dystopian though. Good show.
Only season 1 though for any new people that haven’t watched it. What a shame there was only a single season… Guess if it got more seasons it could have ruined it /s
True and real
Berserk, Promised Neverland, Redo of Healer.
there’s more but I can’t remember their names.
I’d say Death Parade, Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel, Garden of Sinners and Phantom: Requiem For A Phantom
Death parade is fantastic
Yea the First 2 Episodes…
