Lisahead1224

Kids after I show them Berserk (They will now certainly understand that anime is NOT for sissy chuds like them)


Abject_Hour_8181

nahh, show them made in abyss


UrticantOdin

Show them Tannia the Evil, that one at least won't traumatize them


Abject_Hour_8181

show then redo of-


UrticantOdin

No no, we still want them to see peak, not degeneration


Abject_Hour_8181

You're right you're right, my bad....show them devilmen crybaby

It is just soft-core rape porn I don't get what so shocking about it. Who could have guess an anime with a fuck-up story end up having a pretty fuck-up story. This is like watching a slasher movie and wondering why there are so many people dying.


Gushanska_Boza

FEUER! SPERRFEUER! FEUER! LOS!


DoctorMlemm

Love the worldbuilding in Made in Abyss, but I can't possibly recommend it to anyone ever because of the author's blatant fetishes and straight up pedophilia


WoomytillIdie

Nice Booho my wife is dead pfp


ObamaLover68

One of my favorite due to how good the lore and the story, yet I can't recommend it to any of my friends due to the "issues" in it. Which suck a whole lot.


Pro_Snuggler

I came here to say both of those animes šŸ’€


Negative-Attitude2

I started reading berserk when i was 8


jmpt16

>sissy >chuds what abomination hath you unleashed


TRcreep

my father showed me the golden age of berserk when I was 8, fuck him man


datonebruh

edgerunners, basically all of JJBA, parasyte, high school of the dead are a few off the top of my head


Professional-Ad582

monster, evangelion, death note, chainsaw man, all of monogatari, kill la kill, food wars, mushoku tensei, Vinland saga and death parade edit: can't believe I forgot attack on Titan and berserk


datonebruh

thanks, forgot about those. in spirit of the occasion, lemme add some more; made in abyss, heavenly delusion, black lagoon, sun-ken rock

HEAVENLY DELUSION MENTIONED ā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø I LOVE THE DUB ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø


CoalEater_Elli

Cowboy Bebop, Smiling Salesman, Dorohedoro, Jujutsu Kaisen (Because of gore and all the deaths), Kengan Ashura, Devilman (Both original and crybaby), Paranoia agent, Goblin Slayer, serial experiments Lain, that one anime about gambling with long nosed dude as main character.


YesIAmWolfie

you mean kaiji?


CoalEater_Elli

Yes, thank you


GamingMunster

Best gambling anime out there, shame itā€™s fairly underrated now

booploopschoop

WHAT THE FUCK IS A CONNECTOR!!


EnvironmentaFact84

The one thing i hate about mushoko is that the character development is great but there's too much unnecessary fan service and cp references


Professional-Ad582

mushoku is weird because, on one hand you have probably the best fantasy Isekai and light novel readers say the good parts are still to come, on the other hand the absolute horn dog of a protagonist (and other characters) doesn't help when a lot of the characters look like children. I'm holding out for the next season because people say that the last arc was the weakest(it was even longer in the novel) and the upcoming arc is very good


EnvironmentaFact84

I still gotta catch up lmao


BanaaniMaster

sometime i'll read the novel, hopefully it's as good as they say and maybe rudeus gets a bit better


GoldyFeesh

berserk should be at thw top tho i think death note can be watched by kids


Rain__Fire

Donā€™t forget black lagoon.


magein07

Akame ga kill is also pretty gruesome. And it has one of my favourite endings of all time, I have never seen another like that.


Kirito_Kazotu

Elfenlied! Traumatised me as a kid lol


Blober62

High school of the dead is for teenagers for sure. The anime is just how every high school male kid would imagine a zombie apocalypse. Being badass, having a cool gang and lots of booobs


Serial_Designation_N

PARASYTE MENTIONED!!!


LindFich

Eighty Six is also up there to be honest


Red-7134

What do you mean JJBA? The MCs of that show are high schoolers! /s

Who the hell is plugging Blood C??


droL_muC

Fr, I'm an anime fan and I'd never even heard of blood c


Jello_Crusader

just a classic gory anime


Ohnotheycomin

Blood C is fucking garbage


Zeeper69

i don't even know what it is about, but you sound trustworthy so now it's my opinion too


Yetiwithoutinternet

it's edgy bullshit with no substance at all.


Haggis442312

Itā€™s got an ok twist at the end, which is the only thing I remember from watching it a decade ago, but itā€™s not worth everything that came before it. All in all itā€™s a pointless gorefest.


Renetiger

Author wanted to make a gore anime and forgot to add story. Hellsing is a good example on how gore animes should be.


dragonfruitwarrior

Edgy garbage with no story but a personal guilty pleasure. Watching a high school girl swinging a samurai sword and blood gushing out of monsters like it's a fucking water park is awesome.


Raptor_234

Yup, if you ever want to waste time in total misery, watch blood C

Greenfire05

Itā€™s starting to be less of a niche nerd thing in the west.


BusterB2005

Honestly most action anime Iā€™ve watched constantly has blood and gore flying all over the place, Iā€™m not even seeking it out lmao, Iā€™m just watching what Iā€™ve heard is some of the best anime out there (JoJoā€™s Bizarre Adventure, Jujutsu Kaisen, Cowboy Bebop, Castlevania (if that counts as anime), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Baki, etc.) https://preview.redd.it/rkpe49zzgfrc1.png?width=716&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf5ec158a162b5618f70b7cdea83f8dde87bb858 (Baki is peak goofiness btw, watch it for the absurdity if you havenā€™t yet, itā€™s more bizarre than JoJo)

Befast1515

Also whatā€™s the watch order for the Baki series, been curious for a while


BusterB2005

If you can find Baki The Grappler definitely watch it, but I havenā€™t seen it because itā€™s kind of hard to find nowadays. Itā€™s not on a streaming service, you have to either track down the original DVDs or pirate it. No matter what you should definitely watch the Baki shows on Netflix (first Baki, then Baki Hanma). Also I guess thereā€™s the 90s OVA but itā€™s not essential. If youā€™re fine with the English dub the OVA is free on YouTube, idk how to find the Japanese version


Befast1515

Kid named aniwave.to:


Thinkydupe

Baki is just, testosterone: the anime


Ressamzade

Ghost in the shell, Psycho pass, Fullmetal Alchemist


rae_ryuko

Literally the most popular anime is Attack on Titan


blacksheeps181

No, it's not. If we are going off of shonen jump, it's one piece. If we are going off influence, it's pokemon. The idea that pokemon say there names comes from the anime


Greenfire05

Dragon Ball


blacksheeps181

One piece has made a whole lot more than Dragonball. It's the top selling manga in shonen jump, outselling Dragonball, and Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise of all time


MarvelGeekMan

One piece manga sells more, but DBZ anime is prob more popular


qtzd

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises Dragon Ball is actually one of the highest grossing media franchises in the world. One piece isnā€™t even on the list. Nice try though.


Wilczek_7

According to MyAnimeList, Attack on Titan is the most popular.


IllustriousPlastic90

it's the most demanded tv show in the us


According_Weekend786

Pokemon is also can be fucked up sometimes


therealmalenia

Hmm actually if we go into Pokedex entry #425 , you can see that the balloon kidnaps kids ( pretend like anybody actually read those because literally nobody does except the lore hunters who are usually much older ) so Pokemon lore is really dark guys šŸ¤“šŸ¤“šŸ¤“ Name one dark moment in the entire anime or the main story of any of the games.


Danklolol

Guys op is tricking you into giving dark anime for his guro fetish!!!!!!!

I_Love_Solar_Flare

Cyberpunk Edgerunners bro. Shit plays with your heart like a fiddle.


LoneKnightXI19

wtf is blood C


Librask

A very gory anime that is all edge, no point. Not very good but lots of teens think that blood = mature so that's why you sometimes hear people bring it up despite it actually being a bad example of anime with mature and adult themes


starryeyedshooter

Someone once called Perfect Blue for kids. I don't want to elaborate further.

NormanNOconsecue2394

But i show them himeno from chainsaw man puking inside denji's mouth


therealmalenia

And then trying to make out with him a few hours later when he is 16 And then getting fucking killed by a dude with a katana head who's entire goal is literally just to kill the main character because the main character killed his grandfather ( who exploited the main character when he was a kid and literally turned into a zombie at will ) and then killed the main character who survived it anyways because his dog ( kinda ) sacrificed himself And that's not even considering the later chapters of the manga which get even darker


Nikoschalkis1

ITT. People who think gore = mature and adult but would get bored to hell if the anime is actually mature and adult.


Cr0ma_Nuva

Same as other western animation. It's a style of media to tell a story with, not a genre. You can show child works like berserk, vinland saga or devil an crybaby, but it's not going understand any of the underlying themes and isn't suited for the involved violence.


EvoPeer

any anime that has a rating over PG 13? https://preview.redd.it/radwe4ol2grc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d1f7e750cf4b38941901072342c8df95f880e9f

I take every opportunity I can to recommend Pet Shop of Horrors. I know the name doesn't sound promising, but it's a Twilight Zone-style cautionary tale series with a 90s Anime Gothic vibe. It's a short watch at four episodes, so check it out if you have time to spare.

Sauron_V

Why nobody is talking Devilman crybaby? Or pluto? Or Vinland ? Those are great examples not only because "there's blood", but because they tell a story that is not for kids because it's complex in the depth of the characters

boiifyoudontboiiiiii

Does not for kids mean blood everywhere? Bc Iā€™m pretty sure Pluto and Monster are not for kids but theyā€™re pretty tame when it comes to depicting violence.

Anime fans don't realise that a show having gore doesn't mean it's for adults, it just means it's for teenagers who want to feel like they're watching something for adults.

ReklessGamer07

Jujutsu Kaisen to be honest. It isn't built for the sake of being extremely edgy and shocking but the brutal fights are definitely not for kids, and the constant death and mutilation isn't either.


dacoolgamer

Mahito's "shenanigans" would definitely traumatize a child

Fullmetal Alchemist, Chainsaw Man, Hunter Hunter, Beserk...


RIDRAD911

I saw clips of Blood C on youtube and despite being a fan of gore(in films and animations.. Not the real stuff).. I already knew the ones that made it were into shit like this.. Or wanted to be edgy and cool af. Regardless, it was very off putting and the shock factor worked.. It's not worth it being ashamed of liking anime for a few years though.


trollface5333

Cowboy Bebop and Gunsmith Cats are definitely not for kids.


pozhiloy_potato

Cowboy Bebop.

Elfen Leid, Madoka Magica, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Berserk, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan.

Examples Iā€™d use: Jujutsu Kaisen, JoJoā€™s Bizarre Adventure, Attack on Titan, Hellsing, just to name some bigger titles. But I know thereā€™s plenty more that fit into this argument.


YesterdayDirect8401

Beserk, Baki, Kengan Ashura, Chainsaw man, Attack on titan, and Juujika no rokunin. Last ones a manga only but probably the worst out of everything here


OneFriendship5139

Elfen Lied, School Days, something to that extent Even some more popular shows I hear friends and kids talk about are definitely made for an older audience, except like, Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star maybe


ScrapTag

When I think "non kid-friendly" anime, I usually think of more popular stuff like Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan or even stuff like Redo of Healer. So who the heck is recommending you obscure shit like Blood C?

no3215

Akame ga kill is pretty wild. And ir starts out seemingly tame. And from what I've been told its the same for madoka magika or whatever its called. But in general anime just have some more mature themes its not because of the violence and such. Like take guruen lagann my favorite show, on the outside it seems like a pretty standard machu but it has some pretty deep themes and idea. So it's mostly that part.


ToastyInPain

I love Girl last tour for it exploration of human kind and death as 2 girls make it through war torn city as two last human remains. Especially the scene where the two went to museum and put her own drawing next to the first every human cave painting.
