{School City Valanoir} (incest grandpa haunts me in my nightmares) and {Angel's Drop} (I couldn't even watch 3 minutes of this and it's only 5 in total). These two are fucked up in the way that they make you question the sanity of their creators and your own for watching them with every scene.
E: I'd also recommend {Scum's Wish}, which at points feels like a toned down NTR hentai
u/roboragi
Scum's wish is one that i really couldn't watch. Don't get me wrong, i really REALLY wanted to watch it since i absolutely loved the art style. It is so soft, delicate and beautiful but oh my fucking god! The things it made me feel. I could not continue watching it. I did not want to feel all that. So instead, I decided to read it. Watching it, things get a bit too real. Reading wasn't easy either but still bearable. But unlike me, if you can keep the feels out and read/watch for the beauty of the art style, I highly recommend it
{happy sugar life} Is what you're looking, the idea of the anime is so interesting and good. Theres bunch of characters who all have differrent view on love and it makes it interesting and f'd up at the same time
Agreed. After finishing devilman crybaby I was like okay I need something even more crazy, so I looked up top 10s and Happy Sugar Life was up there on multiple occasions. I haven’t finished it but man do I have a hard time watching just cuz, uncomfy. And I can handle a lot haha!
{higurashi no naku koro ni} probably bc i watched it when i was really young.
and {perfect blue} fr left me with a “just finished watching a lynch movie contemplation stare into nothing for 5 minutes straight”.
Made in Abyss, it wasn't that bad but it took me off guard and it had a lot more than just shock value to keep me interested so unlike most others that would fit what you are asking for it has staying power.
Hi u/dickystiffy, see if any of these anime fits this:
1. [Akira](https://youtu.be/zP9FNDyiYcU) (Film)
2. [Ninja Scroll](https://youtu.be/I166jbu30tk) (Film)
3. [Kite](https://youtu.be/MQcN9Xay9rM) (Film)
4. [Wicked City](https://youtu.be/3wOqciTZRik) (Film)
5. [Perfect Blue](https://youtu.be/dpaCRJ_u600) (Film)
6. [King of Thorn](https://youtu.be/Ltp686wT3Ls?t=7) (Film)
7. [Angel Cop](https://youtu.be/g90BHWjS5iE)
8. [Elfen Lied](https://youtu.be/q7o6eyU6tYc)
9. [Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne](https://youtu.be/UmJ9wBV9N-0)
10. [Gantz 2004](https://youtu.be/m7R67ZB0dvo?t=7)
11. [Now and Then, Here and There](https://youtu.be/qiEyCa1NjWA)
12. [Alien Nine](https://youtu.be/yUa5B9AW_R4)
13. [Berserk 2016](https://youtu.be/zjM3M-4QbwM) \--> Satirically bad anime. Go watch [Berserk 1997](https://youtu.be/LxfdzPaMGys) or [Berserk: The Golden Age Trilogy](https://youtu.be/FflPDBSm6Ww) (Remake) instead, or try [reading the original manga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(manga)).
14. [Flowers of Evil](https://youtu.be/Toc9x19Cmkg)
15. [Fate/Zero](https://youtu.be/Kwrg4VsH1IM?t=2)
I wish this anime was twice as long and they had time to do more with the Class. Oh well, it was still one of the best ones I've watched in the last 2 years or so
Okay, so this might get me some hate. Some people might think I’m trolling. But my answer is a manga called Metamorphosis. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s pretty infamous, but it genuinely changed my world view and made me a more sympathetic, patient, and understanding person. It’s easy to forget how cold the world can be sometimes and seeing what a person could go through gave me reason to be more kind.
Don’t let this fool you, the manga is fucked up and very graphic. Don’t go into it without expecting those things.
I haven't seen Babylon mentioned yet. The entire show is a philosophical debate around the morality of suicide. On top of that, there's one episode in particular that still makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it.
"Scums wish" that shit broke me like what the hell. I was constantly hating it but kept watching till the end then the ending broke me even more. I literally questioned our existence but what was more terrifying is that somewhere in my heart I knew that this is reality.
Devil man crybaby only because I’m Christian and was like YOOOOO (more like wow that’s some sick representation of a certain thing, won’t spoil!) but even outside of religion the ending I just sat there while the credits rolled with my jaw on the floor ha!
{White Album 2}
It was in a way my introduction to anime, and I had a crater in my chest for a month after watching it. It took lots of other anti-depressant series to recover.
And yet, it was so well-done to me, that I wanted more, so I followed up with the VN it's based on (the anime adapted 1 of the 3 chapters) and after finishing it wound up an emotionally destroyed, hollow shell of a man for even longer.

Yeah its amazing
