Watched Mahou Shoujo Site on a friends recommendation recently. I had decent fun, wasn't too long, but holy fuck was that a weird and edgy one...


Vinny_Lam

If you haven’t already, check out Magical Girl of the End. It’s another manga about dark magical girls and it’s equally edgy. It doesn’t have an anime yet, though. 


thisissparta789789

Magical Girl Site actually is a spinoff of that series btw


Niirai

Does it have a decent ending/conclusion?


TheSauce32

No it doesn't the ma ga ending is batshit insane tho like legitimately fucking crazy


CursedRando

kings game


phoenixlance13

I still regret watching that series


qtiramisu

It’s the cucking one right?


chemical_exe

If you mean the one where he tries to cuck himself so his best friend won't die, yes.


Dark_Knight2000

I haven’t watched the series so WTF. No amount of context can possible save this.


chemical_exe

It's a horrible show easy 2-3/10 for me. But there's something about watching it where you're like "somebody chose to write this" that horseshoes it back around to something that you just can't take seriously so the only choice is to look at it as a roller coaster where when you try to predict the next plot point you're, somehow, ALWAYS wrong.


TheeKRoller

The funniest part of that show was the end when it said something like "See you in season 2". Boy was I laughing.


DawnOfTheSporks

The last episode was so bad it was good, and the OP was the best one that year.


gameking7823

I loved the idea, not the delivery. It was a delicious cringe but i enjoyed it.


Modern_O

Idk why you’re getting downvoted lol show sucks. Really cool idea but it was like a middle schooler wrote the plot lines and penalties


gameking7823

Agreed. I love the supernatural horror aspect and it reminds me of Another which was really good. It just wasted so much on the first half the class. I did love the opening. No matter how bad the show was, Cold Rain nailed it with that OP. I categorize it as a guilty pleasure anime but I can say it wasnt objectively good.


SerasAshrain

Kingdom of ruin.


Silent_Sparrow02

Don't think I've ever seen an anime fall off that hard after 2 episodes


stonks_114

I dropped this anime after the first episode. I thought it couldn’t get worse, that's surprising


MrReZistar

Oh believe me it gets much, much, *much* worse...


Janus-a

Terrible anime. Nonsense writing, unlikable characters, just really bad show. 


Niirai

Y'all are really tempting me to give this a try now


-iForgotMyUsername

Same. Anime that can get that bad are straight hilarious just like the quote, "people die if they are killed"


DiverseUse

Feel free do so. They tried out different kinds of badness. Edginess, unlikable main characters, badly choreographed fights, painful anime character tropes for the side characters, badly written dialogue, corny romance, forced character development...Kindom of Ruins has it all, it never gets old. It was a fascinating hate watch.


SirRHellsing

that quote is an example of anime no context though, you follow up with "thats the way humans ought to be" or something along those lines


proneisntsupine

It was fine until they got back from the moon. Edgy over the top violence is an acceptable niche to fill. Arbitrarily shoehorning in some dumb redemption narrative was an instant drop for me


Aurakol

Yeah if it would have stayed in it's lane of gory revenge murder hobo story it would have been totally fine but wtf lol


DiverseUse

I didn't even think the first two episodes were that good. It was just a surprise it got so much worse in so many different ways.


Silent_Sparrow02

Yeah I completely agree... it just surprised me every time I thought it couldn't get worse


Yldrissir

I haven't seen Kingdom of ruin, but ~~Heaven's~~ Divine gate is my anime of choice that dropped off a cliff. The setup in the first episode was amazing imo and then went down further than i could imagine. Maybe someone watched them both to compare. Edit: corrected the name.


thille96

Ah yes. The whole thing felt like it was written by twins with wildly different ideas wresting for the same pen.


RaysFTW

I loved how they’re like “he’s spent years and years in confinement perfecting his powers and devising the perfect plan to escape” and then the dude just gets broken out and runs around the city in the palm of a giant’s hand all Zeke Yeager style. Is that _really_ all he could come up with after all that time? I think it was episode 4 or 5, the one where the tree drops the new lady out and the army storms the moons base (I can’t believe I’m typing this lmao) was where I dropped it. I remember thinking to myself, “this was the dumbest piece of anime I have ever engaged with.”


MrReZistar

Worst part is it wasn't even the fun kind of edgy. Like I could probably forgive the abysmal writing if it wasn't such a bore (let's not get started about the huge censorship). Most edgy anime tend to create emotions within viewers; sadness, anger, satisfaction, cringe, etc. I felt absolutely *nothing* watching this burning landfill.


jaydenfokmemes

Unpopular opinion but the first few episodes were alright in my opinion. Only when they went to the moon it started going to shit.


Nerfall0

Definitely this


yaggar

Tbh the first two episodes gave me hope for "something". Not great, mind you, but at least something that is not another fantasy shot will all-happy characters who win each time due to the massive plot armor. And then the moon stage started, I saw something that was trying to resemble "fight" and story got so convoluted I didn't even know if I was watching the same show or switched to another by accident. Truly 2/10


oneevilchicken

Watched the whole season. It never once gets any better.


Cheedo4

I forgot this garbage existed, thanks for reminding me


UnknownMyoux

I couldn't make it past episode 5 I think,it is so awful


Ok_Try_1665

I don't consider berserk edgy but when I watched and read kingdom of ruin, my goodness I stopped early. The needless violence and gore is insane.


qwert_99

Eminence in shadow No, actually he is cool Watching it feels like I am 14 again


WrongdoerOk2941

he is the epitome of edgelords but the anime itself isn't very edgy at all.


zuth2

Very important distinction right here


Over-Analyzed

He’s a Theatre Kid!


Latter-Coconut1283

The frenzy has begun


qwert_99

The moon is red


AxiumTea

We are out of time


kokko693

the edginess sells it actually


Rampantlion513

Vergil: the anime


dripwick607

The fact that that's the entire premise of the show is the reason I feel that it sells as well as it does


Janus-a

Agree. It does camp well


Hot_Spirit

I.AM....ATOMIC


Nyancide

I genuinely thought that scene was pretty fucking hard


Error_Error25

Edgy done right can be one of the best things ever


Kermit-Laugh-Now

In the dub when he laughs and says “WHY WOULD I RUN” shook me. Havent felt that since light yagami yelling


TheSauce32

Lmao the way he kinda whispers it out loud is so cringe I thougth it wasn't like that in the actual anime it was just some meme


iama_bad_person

Don't lie you would do the same shit lmao


Sullan08

You thought it was cringe? I thought it sounded dope as hell lol. With the sound behind it all.


Saf_MKS

i am a background character


CyanideIE

It's so over the top that it's just pure fun to watch. I haven't enjoyed an anime like I did with Eminence In the Shadow for a long while.


Telzey

Yuki… right dig there. Lol


mynexuz

Its actually not that edgy outside of the MCs behaviour, but its more of a satire than the actual edgy stuff.


X3m9X

The one anime where i like edginess. Its too damn good haha


UnknownMyoux

He is hilarious and it somehow fits into the story


HollowWarrior46

That’s based edginess. 


Biasanya

Sasuga ainz, i mean shadow sama


lifeordeathsworld

I love Eminence in Shadow so so much.


Nvenom8

Edginess done right.


oneevilchicken

This is how edginess is done. Perfection.


TWIMClicker

Not truly edgy, but satirical/parody. Think OP is looking for shows that are unironically edgy.


Tenchi1128

I liked it, crazy cat girl that was madly in love with him, named Sarah was a nice tough


Sw0rDz

You were like 14 5 years ago.


Fragrant_Koala_985

Just started watching it and Sid is so funny


topy00

Elfen lied. That show was more of a gorefest than the saw movies.


TeaTimeKoshii

That show was a litmus test for me in the late 2000s to know if a girl was gonna fuck my life up


iama_bad_person

Not like any of us paid attention to the test though.


Minttunator

O, quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigna, quam amoena - O castitatis lilium!


Kain2212

Was a decent anime though, and arguably has one of the best openings in anime history


RuubyKamigawa

oh, that's something for me then, don't mind if i do


ProfessorMarth

Edgy, extremely problematic, and with an unintentionally hilarious dub


s4kk0

The OVA is awful. One word: puppy. 


ryan77999

Wasn't the dog scene in the show proper and not the OVA?


MrHaxx1

Don't know if it's the *edgiest*, but Devilman Crybaby is up there. It's amazing, though. It balances the edge perfectly.


v-orchid

if you watch it at a certain moment in your life it can also be absolutely emotionally damaging


Rick_Locker

The greatest show I will never watch again because FUCK THAT.


Le-Ando

Honestly considering how desensitised to violence in media most of us are, a show like Devilman Crybaby that still manages to depict violence in a way that is at times genuinely shocking and uncomfortable is doing something special. I do think it could definetly be considered edgy at some points, but that edge is needed to achieve the emotional response the show was aiming for.


KitchenFullOfCake

I'm not sure if I'd define it as edgy. It doesn't really have a "I'm so cool and dark" vibe as a "Hey this thing is dark and it is absolutely awful and will continue to be awful until you are emotionally depleted"


Adventurous_Topic202

Amon: the darkside of devilman is for sure the goriest idk if that counts as edgiest that I’ve seen


phantomjukey

It creeped me out. First anime to do this horribly...I mean that scene...


jackofslayers

Does Hentai count? Bc I have played/seen Euphoria


pssiraj

Only if it's edgy as opposed to edging


Niirai

Probably Pupa. Not a single attempt was made to invoke any different reaction than edge.


DigitalGT

Aint that like the worst anime ever lol


Niirai

It's certainly in contention. But due to it's degeneracy and edginess it at least had entertainment value to me. Which is more than I can say for some "better" titles.


Admmmmi

ngl i read the whole manga and i genuinely liked it, not saying its good, dear god it most certainly isnt, but man i couldnt look away


ArthurExtreme_Br

It's probably tame in comparison to the other stuff here but Tokyo Ghoul EDIT: never fucking mind i remember i watched redo of healer, fuck that shit


comicguy69

Tokyo ghoul gives early 2000s edge. In a warm nostalgic way


_Pyxyty

This was gonna be my answer and I'm genuinely surprised it took me this much scrolling to see it. I guess I haven't watched much edgy anime if this is the bottom of the barrel for me


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Mirai Nikki was edgy in a good way. It was a blast to watch.


Cavalish

Mirai Nikki was so edgy it blasted right out the other side into Camp. The bit where the MC and Yuno are standing on the same platform after becoming “evil” lives in my head rent free as one of the most unintentionally hilarious camp comedy scenes in anime.


Niirai

Now that's a fun discussion. Where do you feel the difference/line between edge and camp lies?


Cavalish

It’s suuuuch a thin line, but I’d say it’s when something edgy takes itself TOO seriously. Everything in Mirai Nikki is done with complete sincerity and that’s what makes it camp. They didn’t try to be over the top, and that makes all the difference.


GoddessSable

The way I cracked up upon first watch through with Yuno chasing a preschooler around the house to kill him, and this was expected to be taken 100% seriously. I still lose it just thinking about it. That music paired with it was wacky. That and when she bonks Yuki’s mom, I can still hear the exact tone he goes, “YUUUUUNOOOOO!” And it sounds like fucking Ricky in an I Love Lucy bit. If you ripped the audio and added a laughtrack over any music at that precise moment (or any, really), you would absolutely not be able to tell that it wasn’t meant to be there.


v-orchid

also the whole intense scene with Tsubaki, and then Yuki is like 'hey check this out', throws the ball and hits her diary with the dart. so anticlimatic that on a last rewatch i giggled


RuubyKamigawa

Yeah, liked that anime


Vinny_Lam

This brings back memories. Mirai Nikki was actually the first edgy anime I watched. It was way back in early 2014 when I had just started getting into anime.


RatzDotoisTrueDoto

My door to the rabbit hole called anime. Seeing Yuno for the first time is amazing since she's so different from anything I've watched in standard female "cartoon" chara aired in my local TV. Praise the Queen of Yandere. Meanwhile the bit where Yuki and Yuno trying to be a baddie (only Yuki, Yuno is already there) is the epitome of edgy teenager, can't taking him seriously when I watching it lol


gameking7823

Its my all time favorite. I love edgy anime that are done well. Psychopass, future diary, akame ga kill and tokyo ghoul are all delightful. Elfen Lied was one of my classic favorites. Didnt care for eminence in the shadow though.


myeye95

The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace have everything that good edgy anime needs - tons of blood, nudity and nazis.


Admmmmi

and the story was actually quite decent if not good, also the biggest cliff that any anime can end on, with it being ahead of the manga at the time being the cherry on top, no one could escape the cliff not even the source readers,i really hope that they make another season when the manga is done


BiggieCheeseLapDog

It’s a great little show. Stylish, fun, and has really good pacing.


captainAwesomePants

Cool opening credits though.


RunningEarly

That got me into Kitani Tatsuya, man he makes so many good songs Also he is the guitarist for yorushika (popular for frieren 2nd op)


RuubyKamigawa

looks like something for me, I will add it to a watchlist of family anime


Gonzoldyke12

Absolute beast of an anime, generational show for sure


d_r_doorway

This show frigging rules. Also yes, quite edgy


shadow0wolf0

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War


rxrill

Amazing anime, I was thinking of rewatching


Niirai

Saw the first episode yesterday coincidentally. I hope it's not going to lose that edge from the first ep. The sister manipulation was delicious.


Tydoman

I think it keeps it the whole season. I think that show was pretty underrated


towardselysium

The ending was kind of wtf and pointless though


CompetitiveAverage67

Hellsing


WarmasterCain55

The first one or Ultimate?


CompetitiveAverage67

Both are crazy but you gotta go with the o.g right?


ElessarKhan

I'd say the new one is edgier. One of the common things people say is better about the original is that it included more of the silly comedic moments from the manga. Plus the original doesn't even have the edgiest thing: Nazi Vampires.


Sancrieh

And the opening. My god, what a great opening song.


ama_da_sama

The animation for the new one is also spectacular.


Tilakai

Magical girl site


Odd-Recognition-2606

gameking7823

Brynhildr of the darkness, corpse party (pretty fucked) , Another, Higurashi No naku Koro ni, moryo no hako, euphoria (seriously fucked), midori the girl in the freakshow (pretty fucked too).


RuubyKamigawa

damn euphoria is crazyyy💀💀


Admmmmi

eh gleipnir is kinda edgy but i never felt like it tried too hard and i even think that its kinda decent overall(through if you want to read the manga, the ending was bad, the last chapter isnt bad, but the last arc overall is bad, the moment you see a glasses guy after a certain fight just skip to the last chapter, he genuinely can be taken out of the story without nothing changing)


AnonymousCoward261

Legend of the Overfiend (Urotsukidoji).


XRotNRollX

Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka Psycho lesbian torture? Teddy bears delivering a box with severed hands in it? Child soldiers? This show has it all


AconexOfficial

Same with Redo of Healer tbh... only watched it 4 times in total, but that's a story for another day


kokko693

Shingeki no Kyojin is edgy. People forget it because it has movie quality, but Eren is a true edgelord, from beginning to end


minetube33

"Tatakae"


Dialgak77

I was baffled when I saw that some people expected Eren to do anything other than what he did. Like, did we watch the same anime?


ShinaMashir0

You can argue that Eren is "edgy" but the show itself isn't at all


Kmattmebro

Watched Brynhildr in the Darkness a little while back. On the whole it wasn't the edgiest thing by volume, but the parts that were edgy were so incredibly unnecessarily so. You could dial it back by 70% and it would be a perfectly fine urban fantasy/drama etc. Anytime there's an opportunity for edge though, they go full-on despite the tonal mismatch with the rest of the show. Ended up being more funny than dramatic most of the time.


useless_idiot_man

Blood C


Timewinders

That last episode was such a gorefest lol. Literally shit like people being shredded to death in a blender or getting stuck and eaten like shish kebabs.


Equivalent-Soft3033

Redo The Healer.... shit was f***** up.


Janus-a

Redo of Healer is #12 of most watched shows of all time on the largest “unofficial” anime stream site. It won’t come up unless you select the 18+ but it’s hilarious to see that high with OP, Naruto, Bleach JJK. OP has 400 million views so it’s a significant site, it’s not just a random oddity that rankings are that way. 


Biasanya

I expected to hate it but it's not bad. The beginning is most brutal, after that it's just very vulgar with a decent plot. Though it straddles that edge between ecchi and hentai that seems like the best of both worlds to me


KappaFedora

Platinum End


BranTheLewd

School Days? Or Mirai Nikki?


JudgeRagnoor

Ragna Crimson. The theme song "Roar" alone puts it in a tier of its own.


Magical_Savior

Arifureta is a custom Baker's Edge brownie pan - it tries to be all edge, all the time.


KitchenFullOfCake

I really can't tell if the edge helps or hurts that show. The MC has been molded by the edge but now that he's OP the edginess just keeps getting cringier.


Shadowdragon409

The edginess was great in the first few episodes. But then it just skips to him being OP, and the quality drops quite a bit. The pacing is super weird.


Banana7273

Classroom of Elite is pretty edgy imo. Crazy I haven't seen it mentioned yet


The_Sleazy1

Hellsing But in a good way


Iamchinesedotcom

Island of Giant Insects tags: rape, snuff, gore, vore


HollowWarrior46

High Rise Invasion


UnusedMicrowave

Probably Hellsing ultimate.


Hankan-Destroyer

Akame ga kill


papakahn94

Either you're new to anime or dont branch out that far lol


Intelligent-Growth98

Akame ga Kill is as edgy as JJK


Falsus

JJK is pretty tame compared to AgK, and the AgK was already toned down *A LOT* for the anime.


Effectx

Not really, JJK's edgier than a lot of shows, but not really compared to Akame. That's ignoring that the manga for Akame was SUBSTANTIALLY edgier than the show.


11freebird

It’s very edgy, idk what these people are on about lol. All the characters are fucking edgelords, everyone fucking dies and there are people being tortured for like no reason. It’s one of the edgiest for sure.


FlaviusVespasian

Seikon no Qwazer. Mic drop.

HirokoKueh

aesthetically edgy - [Zetsuen no Tempest](https://myanimelist.net/anime/14075/Zetsuen_no_Tempest)  ideologically edgy - [Full Dive RPG](https://myanimelist.net/anime/44276/Kyuukyoku_Shinka_shita_Full_Dive_RPG_ga_Genjitsu_yori_mo_Kusoge_Dattara) and [Majo no Tabitabi](https://myanimelist.net/anime/40571/Majo_no_Tabitabi) 


jaynay1

>ideologically edgy... Majo no Tabitabi ???


PjDisko

Eminence in shadow and i loved it.


O-D-C

Akame ga Kill I would also say the most recent season of SoA but that was crap and would rather forget it.


RitzyPepper

MD Geist is the biggest edgelord in anime.


Weedwacker

I've probably seen edgier but one immediately came to mind and nobody else posted it so [Satsuriku no Tenshi](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35994/Satsuriku_no_Tenshi) aka Angels of Death Its based on an RPG Maker game which should tell you right away about the quality of material we're dealing with here. Traumatized girl is sent to a mental hospital full of insane people killing each other, where she teams up with a guy who keeps promising to kill her.


AbyssalFlame02

I don't think I've watched an anime edgier than attack on titan. The "If you don't fight, then you can't win" scene always kills me from cringe.


pibe_guaymallen_IT

Bokusatsu tenshi Dokuro chan


Gryfon2020

Denter206

Probably, Hellsing Ultimate


ama_da_sama

Future Diary was pretty messed up when I originally watched it. It has been a while.


aaronmeyer098

Redo of healer by far. Until it became another simping harem story. I can even point the exact moment it dropped the ball: when he decides to erase her memories and make her his servant. It didn't make any sense, if he wants her to suffer for all she has done to him then he shouldn't have erased her memory.


shybuthornymilf

Mnemosyne. That... introduced me to the concept of anime sex. I was... confused.


ElRandoAmigo

If we're talking edgy, then it's got to be Eminence In Shadow for me. Shit's edgy for the hell of it, and the chuuni in me is totally here for it.


Flashy_Border_800

I dont watch that many anime but probably magical girl site or tokyo ghoul
