that show was a roller coaster of feels from start to finish ya there was some humor in it but I think its a stretch to call it a comedy

failmastergerg (09/09/2015) [-] it is sort of depressing but I feel like the overall message can give you a bittersweet sense of closure. Its not one of my favorites but it was definitely interesting, insightful, and worth giving it a shot.

It is undeniably objectively good. If you're a fan of dubs, I'd definitely recommend it simply because Chris Patton's performance is nothing short of amazing. The manga is also good, though it is slightly different. It is certainly funny, but it also speaks to some very real human emotions. I hope you enjoy it!

pokemonstheshiz (09/10/2015) [-] You should also read the light novel. It's surprisingly even less happy, but the characters are a bit more extreme and therefore not quite as relatable.

Ditto! It kinda made me better my self then how I was. It pushed me to do other things on my free time besides watching anime. But it also shows you how that problem is starting to affect the world we live in today.

pokemonstheshiz (09/10/2015) [-] I thought the message was the exact opposite. As much work as Misaki put in, he didn't really break out until he was forced to. The message being "Other people can give direction, but in the end it will have to be you who changes you"

frankbeeflinks (09/10/2015) [-]
Well that is true to the story but put it in other aspects. It does not necessarily have to be a girl it can be a push or pull from a friend or family member. Or in this case people that hunt down neets and show them how to progress.

neostar (09/10/2015) [-] Think of it like this:
Theres an image that goes around showing a before and after. The before is "Haha, this guy looks like a loser, this will be great!" and the after is "oh god i am that loser."
Not only is Sato completely relateable, but while you're watching it, you will find a situation he's put in that you've been in before. It will also likely feature a problem Sato has that you too probably have, and it makes you confront this problem just like it makes Sato confront this problem.
Watching it can make you feel horrible, but just like with Sato, you come out of it wanting to be better than you are. While its a horribly depression show, its one that lifts you up at the same time and tells you to do something about the cause of your problem rather than simply ignore it or grovel in your depression.
As of right now I have the DVD sitting right next to me in a stack. Its still one of my favorite shows ever.

edraham (10/03/2015) [-] Don't get me wrong, Samurai Champloo is my favorite anime. That **** just beat all the other things I saw, and I don't even like r'n'b.
But it's one director with one way of doing things. And usually if you saw Cowboy bebop, you know you have to see Samurai Champloo.

anon (09/09/2015) [-]
Guts's girlfriend was gangraped in front of him by his best friend and a horde of demons and he cut his arm off with a broken sword to try and save her. His adoptive dad also sold him to be assraped by a black dude for pocket change.
Jojo isn't really that ****** up after reading berserk.

theguywhofarted (09/10/2015) [-] It's not a competition about what is most ****** up, what defines genere is if the content contains things that kids should watch.
As jojo progresses it looses gore but gains some deeper subjects that are not so easy for kids to understand.

kurtlanglie (09/10/2015) [-] I'm aware of the twisted and depressing things that happen in Berserk, but that's not even close to the point I was making. It has nothing to do with it at all.
JoJo's got a lot of stuff that clearly was meant for older audiences, I would argue that its target audience is for them and not for the preteen bracket.

akkere (09/10/2015) [-] I don't really know if JoJo really could fit in any of the genres, due to the whole 'Bizarre' theme that shifts constantly. It's a strong mix of Comedy, Thriller, Action, and Adventure, but I suppose genre mixing could be said for a couple of these other animations (as well as their manga counterparts).
Lists like this always have room for expansion, and then you end up with stuff like the /a/ recommends post.

pokemonstheshiz (09/10/2015) [-] A person who stays inside all day, at least the japanese term, is hikikomori.

graphomaniac (09/10/2015) [-] Hmm, if you like psychological horror I would go with Another, Higurashi, Psycho-Pass (it's more of a thriller but with many haunting Madoka Magica, Future Diary, Shiki, Shinsekai yori, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia I haven't seen these and apparently Perfect Blue is a good ******** of a movie I haven't seen it yet either, so I can't judge it .
If you're into the Splatter film area there's Elfen Lied, Genocyber, Berserk, Deadman Wonderland, Corpse Party, Tokyo Ghoul, I guess Psycho-Pass at times, I love it so much, Blood+, Gantz just.... what the **** .
That's the extent of what I know of or found. Hope I helped!

kimiixpyro (09/10/2015) [-] I just googled horror anime and picked out the ones I enjoyed, even if they're mainstream and you may have already seen them.
List of anime I suggest that fall under horror;
Attack on Titan Post-apocalypse style action and giants that eat humans. I love the lot for it, and the animation style is very unique and looks awesome when the humans are fighting. Lots of blood, gore, and dying.
Blue Exorcist I personally wouldn't consider this one to be overly horror-like. It's about Satan's son becoming an exorcist to try to kill Satan for revenge and to save people. It's actually kind of a comedy-action, but I'm assuming it's also listed as horror due to Satan and demons. Not a lot of blood, it can get creepy though. It's one of my favorite animes regardless of genre.
Deadman Wonderland This would def be my top suggestion, it's my favorite horror anime. The plot is outstanding, fighting is awesome, lots of blood and death, but still very interesting and well-done in my opinion. A lot of people hate it because of the ending and that they had to dull-out some stuff in the anime compared to the manga, but I still loved it. There's also cussing in it.
DeathNote I'm writing these under the assumption that you haven't seen or heard of them. I feel like I don't have to for this one, but oh well. Human gets a hold of a shinigami's notebook, so when he writes someone's name in it, they die. /plot
Elfen Lied Truly wonderful, and all the gore you could want. Girl with killer powers and instincts escapes lab and gets a split personality disorder and memory loss. I highly suggest watching it if you haven't already.
Highschool of the Dead I personally liked the plot and idea behind this anime, zombies and such, however, there's non-stop panty shots and it's sexual all the time. I just ignored it and watched it for the story because I like zombies a little too much. The name really says it all.
Higurashi When They Cry 110% horror, also mystery. If you haven't seen it, this is the one you're going to want to go with for a new good horror series. I think there's 3 or so seasons now. It's really amazing and twisted. And I will warn you that it will be very confusing to watch at first, but eventually towards the end, everything falls together and what's happening will hit you, with lots of gorey deaths in between.
Tokyo Ghoul A human gets transplanted ghoul body parts thus making him half and half. I actually haven't finished watching it myself yet, due to it being VERY slow paced. Apparently the last couple episodes are when it gets good, and I'm too impatient to sit down and watch all the slow ones at once. However, it is good so far, and I've only ever heard fantastic things about it.

kimiixpyro (09/10/2015) [-] Well to be fair, I heard they were supposed to make a second season but weren't able to due to the violence etc. If that is the case, then I could see why they didn't make a finalizing ending, otherwise then it'd end up like season 2 of Black Butler, which was god awful.
Speaking of which, that's a horror one I'd suggest too, just not season 2. Halfway through the season 1 it splits from the manga until BB Circus but it's still not bad.
On DW though I haven't read the manga yet so I don't know how it's supposed to end or anything, so coming from that stand point I didn't mind it, but I'm sure once I read it I'll get upset, but until then I like it.

amonamonamon (09/09/2015) [-] If you find the humor in Welcome to the NHK a little dark or depressing, I'd recommend giving Genshiken a watch. I usually hate slice of life student comedy stuff, but I found Genshiken has its own realistic charm.
Also there's tons of anime/game/movie references in there...a lot of them focused around Guilty Gear for some reason.
