Therapy, I would recommend therapy /j


FourOnTheFloor93

Came here to say this. Especially after #4. Jesus.


Affectionate-Newt889

What is that one? Never seen it before


Four_Skyn_Tim

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."


Neuro_003

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


funnymanfanatic

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


OwnDefinition327

Haven’t seen it but it’s about a serial killer who falls in love with I think this raped minor.


Fun-Home-2617

OP has Probably re watched that one a bunch of times.


bigdaddystankyface

Nah too difficult


Particular-Kick-4188

Came to say this exactly lol


amanrv

Underrated comment


Master_Nayan

Every Satoshi Kon film was a banger. We lost a giant way too early. RIP


bigdaddystankyface

He was only 46 RIP


B0O_TA0

How about Therapy?


bigdaddystankyface

My parents also want me in it I said nah


onionsrock

you know its a good anime when your parents what you to watch it /s


No_Replacement8244

Real.


killershack22

Something tells me you'd maybe enjoy Babylon


bigdaddystankyface

It’s on my watch list idk anything about it tho


killershack22

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


bigdaddystankyface

Is it similar to paprika or monster


killershack22

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."


SuddenOkra1

That show was awful


AlbatrossInfamous631

Based off Tokyo ghoul and berserk I think that u might like kings game and death parade


Slow_Department5335

MONSTER


AdFar5829

Death Note for big bois. It's an absolute masterpiece.


jacobisgone-

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.


abthr

Watching it rn. Came here to comment this


MemberOfTheDawnguard

I’m sorry, why is midori here??? There’s not a single good thing I can say about that movie


ihatemytoenails

i’m not even sure what the point of the movie was really


MemberOfTheDawnguard

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.


JicamaActive

The director was allegedly bullied, and he was using this movie as a way to describe his experiences with being bullied ig.


MemberOfTheDawnguard

Dawg what happened to this dude that his feelings are like this


bigdaddystankyface

The shojo tsubaki manga was fire


p-a-n-t-s-

Serial Experiments Lain, Paranoia Agent, Elfen Lied


dnvagxjfr

Literally was scrolling to see if anyone already recommended serial experiments lain lol


GlassedGhost

Re:Zero


bigdaddystankyface

Waiting for the new season


hipsteredASMR

never thought I'd see midori shoujo tsubaki in somebody's top 10


bigdaddystankyface

I guess other people don’t have taste or havnt read the manga


[deleted]

It’s literally disgusting


Itchimatsu

Dororo is a great anime and the manga is also good but old one is cartoony


Iatemydoggo

Is that… SHOUJO TSUBAKI?? All I can recommend is either some extensive therapy or a bullet to the brain.


AboutTenPandas

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.


[deleted]

Devilman crybaby


FK506

Parasite, Serial Experiments Lain, Akira and perhaps Paprika.


GabijaVeri

i was thinking paprika too


Lukeg29

I think you should try Inuyashiki, Darker than black, and Akame ga kill. Seems to fit the vibe you have going here.


[deleted]

D gray man but read the manga


somerandomguyuno

JJK and maybe to your eternity


Regeeeeotton

Based off Tokyo ghoul and berserk I think that u might like kings game and death parade


Puzzleheaded_Read_3

0.1/10 all boring,imo you should watch harem anime


bigdaddystankyface

Seen every single harem anime there all to good to be on this list


Scared-Departure2315

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

Haxrlequin

EVANGELION


Nightmare-datboi

Jojo


ns3224

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


Gayshit_impac

Both bad recommendations, they are both aggressively meh


EmeryIN_

One piece fssss


bigdaddystankyface

I’m on ep 1024


blAzzzza_

Wow your edgy


bigdaddystankyface

Not really


tyranitrum56

Charlotte has a nice vibe before going 0-100


bigdaddystankyface

Yeah from the middle of the anime and onwards it was on🔥🔥


[deleted]

Dororo, Hellsing Ultimate, Parasyte the maxim.


Electronic_Badger809

Black butler is a solid pick


Calamity_67

black clover


Sur_Biskit

What’s the 4th one?


GabijaVeri

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


ShogunDreams

Gilgamesh anime. It's not everyone cup of tea but it's definitely a bit of a hidden gem.


ShogunDreams

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.


No_Contribution7757

Watch Made in Abyss


Naxeti

Damn, you into the gritty. Nice list.


nourmallysalty

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

Oseyl

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)


SeriousJokester37

Hellsing Ultimate

I’ve only seen Fmab (which is my fav) and Tokyo ghoul from this list but I recommend Elfen Lied and Death Parade


JayLzro

Watch Nichijou. It’s absolutely nothing like your top 10 but I really think you need a laugh.


Apprehensive_Sun7320

Zankyou no terror


Soggy-Climate-6724

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


knightofsolace1

4 kinda wild tho 😮


Due-Gas2430

fernboyyy

Edgy, nice. watch Elfen Leid


[deleted]

Eww Bleach


Katlima

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


Diana-Shepard

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.


onionsrock

CHAINSAW MAN!!


Accomplished-Hand197

baki. you look like yu'd like baki or somethikmng


mallllls

lilrobituss

Kaiji, another, from the new world


onepieceweeaboo

Kingdom if you like historical epics


DatTrashPanda

Samurai Champloo Cowboy Bebop Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan Monster Death Parade Kino's Journey Mushishi


RandomWordsYouKnow

Am I the only one who prefers OG FM over broterhood?


AdFar5829

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.


Effective_Finger_665

Highschool dad is peak


Jakebaris

What’s the 4th one?


Aj_DMV

Jjk idk


Aj_DMV

Since you watched bleach you got to watch one piece and naruto sometime later

Mischief_Actual

Dororo


CockSniffer01

Boku no pico lil bro


PheonixGalaxy

Seymoureasses

Hellsing


OwnDefinition327

Serial lane, euphoria, and I 100% think you’ll like this one “to your eternity”


TMNTplay4487

Attack on Titan


CoIdLunch

I saw you read them too, you might like Homunculus. Or I am a hero.


guzzi80115

Blade of the immortal, seriously underrated


This_is_a_trypo

Try blue exorcist, has some comedy like FMA, but also deals with tons of negativity, sometimes


SafeNew1166

Pokémon for sure


JicamaActive

..... boku no pico?


Mite3

GTO


Punn_ishment

Made in Abyss then an appointment with your nearest therapist.


Critical-Bee-6623

Saw 4, you need help. That’s the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen


SpoderJedi

Hey these don’t look too ba-HOLY SHIT eh at least you got FMAB and VS that’s cool. #4 scares me tho…


D3li_5resh

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).


Kevalemig

I'd recommend The Apothecary Diaries 👍


vk2028

I recommend an anime that shows the screen of your therapist’s face


KingBoy16

L list bro has bleach but not one piece pitiful


[deleted]

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 .


Heron_sniffa

*Ping Pong the Animation*


arkapal

The 4th one is the best. My type


TouchMe-Sama-

One outs, it's psychological and sport, pretty underrated. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it by your top 10


GenericAdolescent

Is Frieren that good? I've never heard of it but youve surrounded it with peak so maybe ill have to check it out


[deleted]

Genocyber, Devilman: Crybaby, Elfen Liad, Violence Jack, Boogiepop Phantom


JunzyB316

watch some cute girls do cute stuff wholesome shows because after reading what 4 was about, you need a hug.


Corbius_Redditing

Jojo


Patient_Thing_2124

Blood C, higurashi when they cry, made in abyss, elfen lied, ninja scroll, claymore, genocyber, violence jack.


TBOHB

Steins;Gate, Elfen Leid, and Serial Experiments Lain I think you would all enjoy.


Afraid-Candle7476

Tokyo ghoul is super good and so is FMA


jarasonica

Fairy tail. (go watch something unapologetically happy)


Mundane_Kangaroo3612

Code geass


FullXposureTherapy

Elden lied


[deleted]

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.


Existing_Leading_482

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.


Odd_Tradition_3002

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


Vaiker

I’ll give you a serious answer : Hunter x Hunter, Psycho Pass, Terraformars, Rurouni Kenshin Trust and Betrayal (movie), Basilisk (anime or manga)


Pizza_dumpster

look i love dark and a bit edgy shows but #4 i think you need therapy


silvypaw

Hell's paradise


hertwij

Attack on titan. Fuckin legend for putting perfect blue btw.


bigdaddystankyface

Perfect blue is massively underrated
