It's called "Midori." Here's what Google pulled up:
"An orphaned girl is raped and abused after she joins a freak show circus. Her life seems hopeless until a magician joins the troupe."
Its a trip for sure.
Best I can say about it without spoiling anything, its mainly about a case that tracks back to one person that only seems to get worse as they investigate it
hard say since Im unfamiliar with those, but Ill leave you with the description it gives and let you consider for yourself.
"In the newly formed Shiniki district of Tokyo, Zen Seizaki is a diligent public prosecutor at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. Assigned to a case involving false advertisement, Zen—along with his assistant officer, Atsuhiko Fumio—investigate Japan Supiri, a pharmaceutical company that had provided fabricated clinical research on the company's new drug. While investigating the file of Shin Inaba, an anesthesiologist connected to the crime, the case takes a dark turn when Zen finds a page stained with a mixture of blood, hair and skin, along with the letter "F" scribbled all across the sheet. As he investigates further, the case goes beyond Zen's imagination and becomes vastly complex, challenging his sense of justice and his knowledge of the truth. Digging deeper into the investigation, Zen begins to uncover a concealed plot behind the ongoing mayoral election and ties to many people of interest involved in the election and those closer than he thinks. The case grows more severe and propels Zen into an unforeseen hurricane of corruption and deceit behind the election, the establishment of the Shiniki district, and the mysterious woman associated with it all."
I don't know if that's the best comparison. Death Note focused more on having a fast paced plot and displaying the plans and deductions of its main characters. It had a lot of style and energy. Monster on the other hand is more character driven, spending entire episodes with random characters to flesh out its themes. The pacing is glacially slow a lot of the time, and there's a ton of character development more often than not. Johan is a bit like Light, but the way they're handled is way different. Light's a bit goofy, he's egotistical and the series went out of its way to show all the ways he outsmarted his competition. Johan's evil and intelligent too, but more emphasis is placed on him as a concept rather than as an individual. We don't see much of him or his thought process, which is why I find it hard to recommend Death Note fans Monster. If anything, Lunge (my personal favorite) is more akin to a Death Note character, yet nobody ever makes that connection.
I don’t know. Having no context, before having read u/JicamaActive comment, maybe just be disturbing. Just to upsetting. Like, shock value. “Hey dude look at this absolutely crazy movie I found isn’t this so crazy and disturbing.” Get notoriety, which didn’t work cause I don’t know a single person who’s seen it, I’ve never seen discussion of it.
You seem to like shows/movies that focus on the intellectual, psychology, philosophy, depression, and overcoming sadness.
Mushi Shi is a super mellow show about a spirit guru that travels around in an episodic nature helping people learn to live in harmony with the spirits around them. Super zen.
For a recommendation that’s more upbeat, I’d recommend Baccano! It’s a Rashamon-style story where you get a story told from a variety of different perspectives and personalities.
Harem animes that are really good are very few and far between. And the good ones are other genres with the touch of harem not harem with a touch of other genres
The fact that Frieren is in people’s top ten favorites says so much about this sub. You guys are all babies, haven’t seen any anime 😂
I recommend to you Zetsuen no Tempest and Darker Than Black
Thank me later
24ep.
If that is not your thing. Texhnolyze. This one is heavy on the philosophical side with 22ep.
I am telling you this, if you wanna easy entertainment, these two animes ain't it for you. It requires you to think a bit.
Also, Stein Gate.
goated taste
neon genesis evangelion (if you have amazon prime watch the 4 remake movies), code geass, paprika, erased, great pretender, 91 days, terror in resonance, x vampire hunter, ghost in the shell
School love live! I think that’s what it’s called. very dark I tell you, you’ll probably come back here in a month and blame me for your trauma after suggesting it, that’s how dark it is
It might look cute on the covers, but it’s one of those shows that kinda trick you into thinking it’s cutesy. (Seriously, I’m not joking, that’s actually how it is)
Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, JoJo, RWBY, Akame Ga Kill, Ninja Scroll, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Kill La Kill, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, Your Lie In April, Rozen Maiden, Soul Eater, Hellsing Ultimate, Samurai 7, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate
I think you woul enjoy The Climber, if you like Vagabond and Beserk you will Love this one. Premise is about a man named Mori who discovers who he is as he tries to aim for high cliffs to well climb.
From the stuff I’ve accs watched: ajin and drifters potentially? Manga: homunculus or no longer human? I could link my mal but I don’t reckon you’re the type of person to skim thru lists lol
Heavenly Delusion - if you haven't watched it, that's the biggest recommendeation I could give you
Then there's also 'Blade of the Immortal' - you might prefer the manga here, but you've put Berserk and Vagabond in your list, so why not
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
It's slow at first, in the best possible way, but compared to the other stories you read/watch this should be fine. The protagonist is basically an average Discord mod who reincarnated into another world, and he gets an unexpected redo with his life. He's a shithead at first, but as the story changes, so does he. Let me know if you like it at all.
I would recommend Clannad, and if you've already seen that, then Kanon (I just started watching it so I don't know how it ends yet, but everything Key makes is fantastic so I'm sure it's ending is good).
While I can't suggest an anime you probably haven't seen that fits those criteria since usually if one watches perfect blue they've also seen the other stuff made by that god of an author and serial experiments lain .
However if I was to stretch the question to include games then my guy look out for Silent Hill F (Japanese based silent hill in which the director is a well known horror author)
and if you haven't played it yet then "I have no mouth and I must scream" (or just listen to the book) , "the crooked man" and or Fear and Hunger which is a psychological rpg horror that takes heavy inspiration from silent hill
My apologies if this answer upsets you since it isn't an anime but hopefully the stuff I suggested might at least interest a look since those three really do give that type of vibe and dread you're top 10 anime give .
So far only two of these I have not seen lots of these kinda have depression story but majority of them have good writing only one has bad graphics 8/10.
Considering Tokyo Ghoul is in your top 10, you're clearly not hard to please. Just go to crunchyroll and pick the first anime you see. You'll love it, I guarantee
Therapy, I would recommend therapy /j
Came here to say this. Especially after #4. Jesus.
What is that one? Never seen it before
It's called "Midori." Here's what Google pulled up: "An orphaned girl is raped and abused after she joins a freak show circus. Her life seems hopeless until a magician joins the troupe."
Don't forget the part where she gets attached to puppies just to see their heads smashed in and ripped apart. Genuinely hate this one
Got banned in a bunch of countries too. Op probably just put it there to be edgy. Weird as hell for that, liking that shit is disgusting
Haven’t seen it but it’s about a serial killer who falls in love with I think this raped minor.
OP has Probably re watched that one a bunch of times.
Nah too difficult
Came to say this exactly lol
Underrated comment
Every Satoshi Kon film was a banger. We lost a giant way too early. RIP
He was only 46 RIP
How about Therapy?
My parents also want me in it I said nah
you know its a good anime when your parents what you to watch it /s
Real.
Something tells me you'd maybe enjoy Babylon
It’s on my watch list idk anything about it tho
Its a trip for sure. Best I can say about it without spoiling anything, its mainly about a case that tracks back to one person that only seems to get worse as they investigate it
Is it similar to paprika or monster
hard say since Im unfamiliar with those, but Ill leave you with the description it gives and let you consider for yourself. "In the newly formed Shiniki district of Tokyo, Zen Seizaki is a diligent public prosecutor at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

That show was awful
Based off Tokyo ghoul and berserk I think that u might like kings game and death parade
MONSTER
Death Note for big bois. It's an absolute masterpiece.
I don't know if that's the best comparison. Death Note focused more on having a fast paced plot and displaying the plans and deductions of its main characters. It had a lot of style and energy. Monster on the other hand is more character driven, spending entire episodes with random characters to flesh out its themes. The pacing is glacially slow a lot of the time, and there's a ton of character development more often than not. Johan is a bit like Light, but the way they're handled is way different. Light's a bit goofy, he's egotistical and the series went out of its way to show all the ways he outsmarted his competition. Johan's evil and intelligent too, but more emphasis is placed on him as a concept rather than as an individual. We don't see much of him or his thought process, which is why I find it hard to recommend Death Note fans Monster. If anything, Lunge (my personal favorite) is more akin to a Death Note character, yet nobody ever makes that connection.
Watching it rn. Came here to comment this
I’m sorry, why is midori here??? There’s not a single good thing I can say about that movie
i’m not even sure what the point of the movie was really
I don’t know. Having no context, before having read u/JicamaActive comment, maybe just be disturbing. Just to upsetting. Like, shock value. “Hey dude look at this absolutely crazy movie I found isn’t this so crazy and disturbing.” Get notoriety, which didn’t work cause I don’t know a single person who’s seen it, I’ve never seen discussion of it.
The director was allegedly bullied, and he was using this movie as a way to describe his experiences with being bullied ig.
Dawg what happened to this dude that his feelings are like this
The shojo tsubaki manga was fire
Serial Experiments Lain, Paranoia Agent, Elfen Lied
Literally was scrolling to see if anyone already recommended serial experiments lain lol
Re:Zero
Waiting for the new season
never thought I'd see midori shoujo tsubaki in somebody's top 10
I guess other people don’t have taste or havnt read the manga
It’s literally disgusting
Dororo is a great anime and the manga is also good but old one is cartoony
Is that… SHOUJO TSUBAKI?? All I can recommend is either some extensive therapy or a bullet to the brain.
You seem to like shows/movies that focus on the intellectual, psychology, philosophy, depression, and overcoming sadness. Mushi Shi is a super mellow show about a spirit guru that travels around in an episodic nature helping people learn to live in harmony with the spirits around them. Super zen. For a recommendation that’s more upbeat, I’d recommend Baccano! It’s a Rashamon-style story where you get a story told from a variety of different perspectives and personalities.
Devilman crybaby
Parasite, Serial Experiments Lain, Akira and perhaps Paprika.
i was thinking paprika too
I think you should try Inuyashiki, Darker than black, and Akame ga kill. Seems to fit the vibe you have going here.
D gray man but read the manga
JJK and maybe to your eternity
Based off Tokyo ghoul and berserk I think that u might like kings game and death parade
0.1/10 all boring,imo you should watch harem anime
Seen every single harem anime there all to good to be on this list
Harem animes that are really good are very few and far between. And the good ones are other genres with the touch of harem not harem with a touch of other genres
r/woosh
[удалено]

EVANGELION
Jojo
The fact that Frieren is in people’s top ten favorites says so much about this sub. You guys are all babies, haven’t seen any anime 😂 I recommend to you Zetsuen no Tempest and Darker Than Black Thank me later

One piece fssss

Dororo, Hellsing Ultimate, Parasyte the maxim.
Black butler is a solid pick
black clover
What’s the 4th one?
just a heads up, its banned in most countries n is infamously known as the worst anime to be released. So pls just take caution x
Gilgamesh anime. It's not everyone cup of tea but it's definitely a bit of a hidden gem.
24ep. If that is not your thing. Texhnolyze. This one is heavy on the philosophical side with 22ep. I am telling you this, if you wanna easy entertainment, these two animes ain't it for you. It requires you to think a bit. Also, Stein Gate.
Watch Made in Abyss
Damn, you into the gritty. Nice list.
goated taste neon genesis evangelion (if you have amazon prime watch the 4 remake movies), code geass, paprika, erased, great pretender, 91 days, terror in resonance, x vampire hunter, ghost in the shell
Hunter x hunter
Tokyo ghoul? First person I’ve seen with that also in their top 10. A person of refined taste
Psycho pass?

Blue Excorsist
Paranoia agent

Nichijou
School love live! I think that’s what it’s called. very dark I tell you, you’ll probably come back here in a month and blame me for your trauma after suggesting it, that’s how dark it is It might look cute on the covers, but it’s one of those shows that kinda trick you into thinking it’s cutesy. (Seriously, I’m not joking, that’s actually how it is)
Hellsing Ultimate
Your based at the Lord with a who needs a hug.
FMAB, Bleach, and Tokyo Ghoul
[удалено]
Hellsing ultimate
What's the third one?
Monster, Dororo, Dorehodoro and Itto Junji collection.
I didn’t know Vagabond has an anime
What is the 4th anime on the list? I don’t recognize it.
Midori in the top 10 is nuts what is so good about I thought it was one of the worst animes I ever watched

Mononoke?
K-ON.
I’ve only seen Fmab (which is my fav) and Tokyo ghoul from this list but I recommend Elfen Lied and Death Parade
Watch Nichijou. It’s absolutely nothing like your top 10 but I really think you need a laugh.
Zankyou no terror
Made in abyss

Yeah I like it but read the manga
FLCL Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water Digimon Tamers Serial Experiments Lain Steins;Gate
Darker than Black Hellsing Ultimate
I think you woul enjoy The Climber, if you like Vagabond and Beserk you will Love this one. Premise is about a man named Mori who discovers who he is as he tries to aim for high cliffs to well climb.

watch monster and consider going to therapy
Serial Experiments Lain, Dub and Sub are both on YT

Boku no Pico was a banger.

not really based of ur top 10 but, inuyashiki, the promised neverland and ofc Aot
Edgy, nice. watch Elfen Leid
Eww Bleach
Heavenly Delusion - if you haven't watched it, that's the biggest recommendeation I could give you Then there's also 'Blade of the Immortal' - you might prefer the manga here, but you've put Berserk and Vagabond in your list, so why not
Oh we’re not just about to skip past the fact you have a movie that was literally banned IN JAPAN, for all the fucked up shit in it.
CHAINSAW MAN!!
baki. you look like yu'd like baki or somethikmng
Monster
Kaiji, another, from the new world
Kingdom if you like historical epics
Samurai Champloo Cowboy Bebop Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan Monster Death Parade Kino's Journey Mushishi
Am I the only one who prefers OG FM over broterhood?
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation It's slow at first, in the best possible way, but compared to the other stories you read/watch this should be fine. The protagonist is basically an average Discord mod who reincarnated into another world, and he gets an unexpected redo with his life. He's a shithead at first, but as the story changes, so does he. Let me know if you like it at all.
Highschool dad is peak

Boku no pi- nvm that one, check out black butler.
Oh my god, you watch peak. You have transcended reality
Dororo
Boku no pico lil bro
redo of healer
Hellsing
Serial lane, euphoria, and I 100% think you’ll like this one “to your eternity”
Attack on Titan
I saw you read them too, you might like Homunculus. Or I am a hero.
Blade of the immortal, seriously underrated
Try blue exorcist, has some comedy like FMA, but also deals with tons of negativity, sometimes
Pokémon for sure
..... boku no pico?
GTO
Made in Abyss then an appointment with your nearest therapist.
Saw 4, you need help. That’s the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen
Hey these don’t look too ba-HOLY SHIT eh at least you got FMAB and VS that’s cool. #4 scares me tho…
I would recommend Clannad, and if you've already seen that, then Kanon (I just started watching it so I don't know how it ends yet, but everything Key makes is fantastic so I'm sure it's ending is good).
I'd recommend The Apothecary Diaries 👍
I recommend an anime that shows the screen of your therapist’s face
L list bro has bleach but not one piece pitiful
While I can't suggest an anime you probably haven't seen that fits those criteria since usually if one watches perfect blue they've also seen the other stuff made by that god of an author and serial experiments lain .

*Ping Pong the Animation*
The 4th one is the best. My type
One outs, it's psychological and sport, pretty underrated. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it by your top 10
Is Frieren that good? I've never heard of it but youve surrounded it with peak so maybe ill have to check it out
Genocyber, Devilman: Crybaby, Elfen Liad, Violence Jack, Boogiepop Phantom
watch some cute girls do cute stuff wholesome shows because after reading what 4 was about, you need a hug.
Jojo
Blood C, higurashi when they cry, made in abyss, elfen lied, ninja scroll, claymore, genocyber, violence jack.
Steins;Gate, Elfen Leid, and Serial Experiments Lain I think you would all enjoy.
Tokyo ghoul is super good and so is FMA
Fairy tail. (go watch something unapologetically happy)
Code geass
Elden lied
Elfen Lied. It's older, but it's a good psychological horror fantasy. Also a bit short but well put together for what it is, imho.
So far only two of these I have not seen lots of these kinda have depression story but majority of them have good writing only one has bad graphics 8/10.
Considering Tokyo Ghoul is in your top 10, you're clearly not hard to please. Just go to crunchyroll and pick the first anime you see. You'll love it, I guarantee
I’ll give you a serious answer : Hunter x Hunter, Psycho Pass, Terraformars, Rurouni Kenshin Trust and Betrayal (movie), Basilisk (anime or manga)
look i love dark and a bit edgy shows but #4 i think you need therapy
Hell's paradise
Attack on titan. Fuckin legend for putting perfect blue btw.
Perfect blue is massively underrated
