  1. Recently I saw that Toonami was airing a dub for Hunter x Hunter so I wanted to know how good it is. From the little I heard in the commercial it was average but it could still be complete garbage or a great dub.
  2. I read Marmalade Boy but since I have read it I can't find another manga I wanted to get into. Is there a manga like Marmalade Boy out there to fill the void?
  3. Hideout The way the manga built its atmosphere was amazing and the characters were really great. I also really enjoyed the art for this as well. The only negative I have with it is that they have another female character besides the MC's wife but they never really went into detail on her back story.
  4. I read the manga and it was (in my opinion) a bit boring and more focused on creating bizarre situations than actual horror.
  5. Since you are reading this article I will assume you are a horror lover like I am. The horror genre in anime and manga can be really good but we come into problems with the lack of content in the genre. Anime Horror Recommendations Here are some horror anime titles to check out: 1. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni If you are a horror lover this is the first show you need to watch. The show has great psychological elements and a mystery to keep you interested in the show until the end. THe show has a second season but only watch it if you enjoyed this one. However viewer be warned: The English Dub is absolute garbage. Do not watch the English Dub. 2. Parasyte While this show focuses more on drama and action I do say that it definitely plays a lot with body horror. The way you see the parasites is absolutely bone shilling at times and is still a decent show all around. 3. Shiki Vampires. This is a show about vampires. The show has a slow start but quickly turns into a gore torn show and it is absolutely awesome. The horror towards the end of the show is really good and with the drama it adds even more to the MANY deaths in the anime. 4. Tokyo Ghoul (First Season) Again we focus on the theme of monsters but this show is more focused on plot and character at first. The horror is nearly there for effect at first but plays well into the show as it goes on. However two disclaimers for the show. Firstly the second season was absolute garbage and was a complete waste of time, don’t watch it. Secondly is that the show is currently censored on most legal streaming sites but an uncensored version is around and I definitely recommend tracking it down. 5. Corpse Party: Tortured Souls If you are looking for straight up horror this is it. This show is the finest horror and gore I have seen in the anime medium to date with every scene played to excellent effect. However with great horror you get only an average plot and kind of bland characters. THe show is not perfect but if you are looking for straight up blood, guts, and scares this is the show for you. Plus it is only four episodes so you hav eno excuse. Manga Horror Recommendations A list of a few horror mangas if you prefer to read your frights: 1. Uzumaki This is considered a must see in the genre. Similar to Parasyte int he fact that it is body horror but Parasyte does not compare. The story is overall very good and the art is f****** scary. However during the later chapters I felt the manga got a little more on the ridiculous side and that may turn off some people so be warned. 2. Franken Fran While focusing more on some comedic qualities this manga is absolutely still scary. It contains some of the best artwork in the genre I have seen and the characters are so much fun. WHile this is not straight up horror you will find moments where you gasp and amy stay up at night thinking about them. 3. Hideout My personal favorite horror manga and it is for a reason. The manga is THE BEST because of its story and art. THe story is very well executed and the art it just adds so much to the story. I really can;t say how much I loved this manga but the only downside to some is that it is very short. 4. Ibitsu This was my introduction to horror manga and if you were to start anywhere I would start here. THis manga plays a lot with talkers and the constant “I am going to get you” kind of plot. However Ibitsu makes the plot work withs some interesting character and an ending that will leave you wondering “Wha tthe f**** did I just read?”. 5. Doubt This manga has the main focus on psychological scenes but the tense atmosphere it creates makes the manga even scarier. I recommend this to people who are scared of the unknown and don’t mind solving abut of a mystery. Well those were my recommendations and I have not seen every single show or read every manga. If you felt that I missed something please feel free to comment them and I will be sure to include suggestions that I think should have been on the list.
  6. The manga is called Setsuna Graffiti.
  7. I have seen all those naime in that thread. Also I an avoiding the supernatural tag because I have read those types of manga and I don't find them very scary.
  8. Saw the anime versions but Deadman Wonderland's story didn't finish so I may pick up the chapters to get the full story.
  9. 11 eyes doesn't really fit what I am looking for. Trinity Blood sounds interesting though but the shoujo and comedy tags with it are leading me against it though.
  10. I saw the Ghost Hunt anime and it was really good so I think I may try that out. Also I read the first volume of xxxHOLIC and it wasn't really what I am looking for in a horror manga.
  11. I read Uzumaki but I didn't really enjoy it that much. I was thinking or reading Gyo, is that manga any good?
  12. I have a lot so I will just list them. - Both Noragami Openings - Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Opening - HOTD Opening - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood First Opening - Parasyte Opening - The entire Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works OST - Akame Ga Kill Second Opening - Both Openings From Durarara season 1 - Log Horizon Opening - No Game No Life Opening - Haikyuu! First Opening - Both Openings from Assassination Classroom Season 1 - Tokyo Ghoul Season 1 Opening - Gekkan Shoujou Nozaki-Kun Opening - Jojo Bizarre Adventure First Opening - Deadman Wonderland Opening - Overlord Opening - One Punch Man Opening - Mirai Nikki Opening * I know these are mostly openings but these are the songs that really stand out too me when I watch an anime.
  13. I really enjoy the horror genre and I have tried to find manga in the genre I like but it is rather difficult. Any suggestions for good reads?
  14. I like horror and psychological.
