Next stop, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!

The internet offers far more disturbing images. Consider yourself lucky.

Why so bad:(

In the end I didn't see the big deal about Elfen Lied. It was genuinely very good, but not mind-blowing or anything. Another wasn't perfect, either, but it had a lot more atmosphere. If you want something more disturbing than either of those, try Shiki - that one's a winner.

I just saw "elfen lied" and wanted to post this useful advice: "Never trust an elf!"-Gimli son of Glóin son of Gróin.

Another would have been a lot better if they hadn't tried shoving the horror down your throat every ten seconds.

Been told I should watch it.

I'd say it's an average anime. The plot is decent but there nothing that would make you go WOW, what did just happen
You can give a shot to Mirai Nikki as well (if you have not seen it yet)

I just finished watching Elfen Lied just now. Literally.
Personally, I thought it was good, but a bit disappointing. It was lacking a lot for some reason, it ended without giving me the satisfaction I get from watching some other stuff.

As for Another, it was okay I guess, but it felt a bit forced. "Someone died an awful way, oh my god." Moving on. "Oh look, someone else just died a gruesome way. Yay." Next episode. "Oh my god, stop just killing characters and give me some story for fuck sake."

Anyways, I enjoy these kind of anime regardless. I'm currently trying to find something new to watch (not necessarily a thriller/disturbing one).

I will have to add both of these to my watch list >.> In fact, I'm bookmarking this discussion. Definitely sounds interesting, and disturbing. But I like odd anime, so thank you :P

Might as well just go ahead and watch Corpse Party: Tortured Souls, Shiki & Higurashi while you're at it.

Just be careful not to bring umbrella when you're going down stairs
*insert evil laugh here

Not my type of story. I'm picky about what I choose to watch.

Maybe you should stop watch these creepy animes. I even don't watch most of them because I fear to get disturbed xD I've never seen an horror movie for the same reason(or from that moment on I would strike everything that moves because of the fear).

you are from the band ?

creepy anime is lightweight. you should see what i watched. and even that ..whatever it was failed to influence me

Oh thats so disturbing !!!!

:(((

The thing about Elfen Lied is that it establishes early on that it is all about melodramatic gorn and torturous dismemberment combat. This alone desensitises you to the overall subject, as you expect it. The tragedies reveal themselves long before there is any hint of what will happen, because you can already guess. That guy? Probably a molester. That girl? Probably gonna get butchered. That kid? Probably gonna get maimed. That notable character over there? Probably gonna reveal an overdriven sob-story, etc. I mean, don't get me wrong. Elfen Lied is depressing as hell, but it's also notorious and old. You often go in to each episode knowing what to expect.

You should look into Narutaru. Nowhere near as much gore or graphic detail, but creepier in the fact that it's true themes sneak up on you. Plus it has a (deceptively upbeat opening theme that is totally unsuiting)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIF5BLyh3Mk]. The best time to slap someone with truly creepy / disturbing stuff, is when they don't see it coming, and when the viewers are more invested in the character. A few animes and sudden fingernail-pulling torture scenes come to mind. Eeeegh.

Regarding Narutaru though, be warned that the anime was made before the manga was finished, so it never fully concludes (even if it goes out at the resolution of a piece of story). The manga is apparently even worse for being disturbing.

Meh, thought it's a thread about a new album of the band Disturbed :(

Then you've never been to /b/

Hi Disturbed. Your music sucks.

+1 to mirai nikki. 1 that is rated less in my opinion is Chaos Head

although the manga is far superior and way more in depth than the anime u could consider Gantz

if u want to see an Anime in the style of bakemonogatari wich the M.C get shot in the ass with a gun i suggest Mindgame

and if u liked the japanese classic Battle royale than u could check out Btooom

the super secret Disney movie playlist not anime but disturbing nonetheless lol
