15 Anime With A Dark And Dark World From Monster To Goblin Slayer

15 Anime With A Dark And Dark World From Monster To Goblin Slayer

Anime Creators Have Not Forgotten The Fans Of The World Of Fear And Darkness. We Can Name Several Animes That Have Captivated The Viewers With The Darkness Flowing In Their Taropod.

There are endless reasons that tempt audiences to watch anime series. Maybe the audience is looking for excitement, a colorful and fascinating world; perhaps they have limited their search to deeper issues that are not afraid to focus on the answers to dark questions; anyway, anime can be an ideal option for all classes and age groups. Of course, anime has another feature that may not be to everyone’s taste. In anime, darkness and fear can easily capture characters and sweet and colorful stories.

Anime is indeed suitable for any age group and audience, but some of the content produced is so bold in expressing controversial ideas that it may not be ideal for everyone to watch. The happy ending of some anime works comes after long periods of pain and disappointment. However, others withhold even this happy ending from the audience to show how sad, depressing, and disappointing the world can be.


What are the darkest animes?

Attack on Titan anime, Elf lead anime, Another anime, and Resonant Terror anime are some of the most famous anime with a dark world.


This group of animes is unsuitable for weak people; in fact, it is better to keep a balance in watching them so as not to fall into the trap of darkness in their theropod. Anime can show this darkness through extreme violence, scary characters, or a world full of despair, where victory over pain and suffering seems impossible. Finally, it must be said that although some of the sweetest animes of all time sometimes show sick moments, there are also very dark series that are not recommended to watch, especially for those with a sensitive and delicate spirit.

If you are confident of your mental strength and are ready to watch such anime, stay with us as we look at some of these dark series.


Sato's character in the anime Happy Life

15- The anime of a Happy and sweet life (Happy and sweet life)

Happy Sugar Life anime

Don’t let the name of this anime fool you because, in any case, there is no joy and sweetness in this story. By the way, the title, and the visual effects of Happy and Happy Life, make the audience feel a false sense of security from the beginning. But everything changes with the advent of murder, kidnapping, and brainwashing, and this false security fades.

Sato is a young man who becomes so infatuated with an innocent little girl that he is willing to do anything evil to protect her. In the future, the audience will be accompanied by Sato and his evil deeds, which may be done out of love and compassion.


Shion or her twin sister with bloody face and scary laugh from Higurashi anime when they cry

14- Higurashi anime: When they cry

Anime Higurashi: When They Cry

The anime Higurashi is about a group of seemingly innocent characters who live in a small and quiet village called Hinamizawa. The soft and friendly art style used in the creation of this anime unconsciously makes the audience think that they will not witness anything unpleasant. But very soon, with the start of rampant murders, the flower of terror blooms again. Higurashi is the playground of an ancient evil trapped in a time loop, forcing the characters to live through the horrors repeatedly to achieve their goal.

The original Higurashi anime spanned 26 episodes, but the universe continues expanding through spin-offs, side stories, and sequels. However, each new work still reflects the uninhabited world under the mercy of the evil gods.

13- The Goblin Killer anime

Goblin Slayer anime

An important detail noticed in almost every dark anime is the nihilistic attitude or “nothingness.” A philosophy that is sometimes only used as an excuse to show the character’s anger, and this is the case we see in the Goblin Kill anime. For example, the futility of the priest’s sacrifice in the first episode of this anime has always been one of the most controversial issues regarding such animes, which do not have an excellent reputation.

Another issue with this anime is using violence as a source of character development. The storyline of Goblin Kash anime may not have many ups and downs, but it has maintained its validity and value in the end. At the same time, we do not see excessive use of dramatic story twists in advancing the story.

12- Another anime

Anime Another

It is unlikely that you are among the fans of horror anime and you have not heard the name of the anime “Digarim,” an unusual story of the presence of ghosts that, throughout its 12 episodes, leaves the audience confused about whether the characters are alive or spirits.

Koichi Sasakibara is a new student who soon meets and befriends a girl named Mei Misaki, but there are many things about this strange class that he still doesn’t know. Koichi is looking for stability and peace, but nothing but death and despair comes his way. A horrifying murder mystery is intertwined with the horrific death of innocent students. Koichi is involved in bigger questions, the answers of which may have a heavy price to pay.


The angry young boy on the stairs in the anime Technolize

11- anime technology

Anime Texhnolyze

The world of technologized anime is dark and depressing, yet this world helps to strengthen the motivation of its main characters. In this anime, the audience faces a futuristic dystopia where happiness is forbidden in the era when most residents are exiled to an underground city full of many problems; it becomes increasingly difficult to survive in those conditions.

This is a warrior who experiences a horrific attack, the aftermath of which leaves him dependent on Prosthetic Technology for his life. His life continues in this bleak place, while every day, other problems arrive and make him wallow in despair.


The robot-like old man with his head separated in the anime Inuyashiki

10- Inuyashiki anime

Inuyashiki anime

Inuyashiki deals with issues such as the importance of power and responsibility and tries to show how the creation of equal opportunities can cause evil and corruption or the motivation of altruism and empathy, depending on the circumstances.

A strange meteorite event puts an older man and a teenager in a difficult situation. Inuyashiki is a teenager who vows to use his newfound power to help others, but he soon has to find a new priority for himself. Because Hiro (the older man) recklessly uses his power to massacre. Now Inuyashiki becomes a symbol of hope, and as Hiro engages in senseless killing and the number of corpses increases, the burden of his responsibility to cope becomes heavier and heavier.


Resonant terror anime character with a background of crows and flying feathers

9- Resonant terror anime

Anime Terror In Resonance

Shinichiro Watanabe is a creative director and skilled storyteller whose works include Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Space Dandy. But among these well-known and successful works, the resonating assassination anime has received very little attention and, in other words, has not been seen much.

The story of this anime is about two young terrorists who carry out horrific attacks around the city. However, the pinnacle of their subversive activities is creating a nuclear weapon. Next, we see the cat-and-mouse game between these amateur terrorists and the police force, which is full of suspense. Meanwhile, what stands out is its emphasis on accidental deaths and how sometimes living and surviving is the hardest thing in the world.


Lucy and Kota sitting on the stairs talking about the anime Elf Leide or Fairy Song

8- Alfan Lied anime (fairy song)

Anime Elfen Lied

Every episode of Elfen Lied’s anime should be considered an emotional torture that sneers at fallen humanity. The story is about the acquaintance of two warm-blooded and optimistic students with a girl named Lucy. A girl who, behind her calm and innocent appearance, is an amnesiac mutant who has many powers and kills easily. Agents of a secret government agency are looking to hunt down Lucy, but the operation involves a lot of blood and gore.

Anime series that deal with such a theme usually end with saving the main character or showing the importance of accepting others’ differences. But Elfen Lied has acted differently in this regard, and the end, he condemns humanity, and even his message shows that peace is impossible.

7- Anime causes paranoia

Anime Paranoia Agent

Satoshi Ken is one of the leading storytellers who started a new wave in the film industry by making exciting and surreal psychological films such as “Paprika” and “Perfect Blue.”

Paranoia Agent is a thirteen-episode series by this prominent Japanese writer and director, who brilliantly used television’s episodic structure for deconstruction. This anime shows how an urban legend can create terror stronger than any real villain and take full advantage of this situation for immortality.

In this anime, society fears possible attacks by “Lil’ Slugge,” a stick-wielding teenage assailant who may sneak in and harass people. The Paranoia Factor showcases the characters at their most vulnerable and allows evil to flourish.


Lin and his friends from the serial experiences of Lin

6- The anime of Lin’s serial experiences

Anime Serial Experiments Lain

The anime story of Lane’s serial experiences is sad. A narrative that deals with ideas and topics whose meaning and meaning will be determined years later. Lin Iwakura is a fourteen-year-old girl who immerses herself in the limitless world of a digital world called ” The Wired. ” Lynn should be considered a digital martyr because she is part of something bigger, trying to help others understand and process pain.

Although the story moves forward with the presence of young characters, it expresses concepts such as suicide and being abused, which essentially belong to the world of adults. In general, the anime of Lin’s serial experiences has an enlightening look at technology and the world of communication. However, it uses the innocence of the world of teenagers to express its concerns.


Anime Madoka Magica Witch Girls With Umbrella Graduation Hat And Hoodie

5- Madoka Magica anime

Anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Magical girls are the stuff of popular anime series, but the world of Madoka Magica anime is a little different. Where the witch’s daughter is also in a battle with the darkness. Madoka Magica bitterly turns the privilege of becoming a witch into eternal death. It is a great sacrifice to help maintain balance in a chaotic world.

The entire series revolves around the main character’s life, who misses the chance to become a witch lest he is doomed. In this way, even when we see success, we look at self-inflicted failure.


Some pictures of different parts of the second season of the anime made in Abyss

4- Anime Made in Abyss

Anime Made in Abyss

With a general look, it is easy to guess that the anime made in Abyss is an animated adventure series whose young and brave characters can do incredible things. Indeed, this perspective is true, as Riku, Reg, and Nanachi show considerable courage, tact, and sacrifice on their way to the depths of the Abyss.

However, the anime made in Abyss is not supposed to be full of colorful images and decorated with courage and bravery because the closer the characters get to the depths of this bottomless pit, the more powerful the curse will attack them in this trap. We witness the maturation of both the characters and the overall structure of the anime.

In this way, what starts with a fun concept gradually ends in unfortunate encounters that tear apart the protagonists’ physical and mental existence so that sometimes we feel that they are doomed. Fear and darkness are constantly hanging over their heads.

3- Neon Genesis Evangelion anime

Anime Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a deep dissection of concepts such as humanity, religion, and human existence. The anime portrays depression with a brave but raw authenticity that ultimately makes the final episodes a terrifying experience and a nihilistic look.

Every character in Ongleon passes their breaking point, as the number of kills pushes their physical and mental capacity to the brink of destruction. In anime like Neon Genesis, we always see how human pilots are sacrificed, but the depiction of this sacrifice and destruction in this anime is very dark.


Monster anime and two main characters in a desert landscape where one is trying to shoot the other

2- Monster anime

Anime Monster

Monster anime is about a famous surgeon who has to face the consequences of his actions. Dr. Kenzo Tenma manages to save the life of a patient named Johann Liebert, a man who, years later, is known as a ruthless serial killer. Tenma feels hopelessly responsible for Libert’s crimes, and this begins the game of cat and mouse between these two brilliant minds in a dark world.

Monster lets the philosophy of absurdity run free, especially as we get closer to the end of the anime, where we see that Tenma is only a sad shell left. All in all, the creators have made the most of all 74 anime episodes to tell their story in the best way, an account of the opposite characters getting lost in a battle that seems to have no end.


A titan watching from the top of the wall

1- Attack on Titan anime

Attack on Titan anime

Attack on Titan had an unsettling and depressing start from the first episode, where humanity must prepare to face the giant, carnivorous menace. But Eren’s commitment to stand up to this threat and destroy all the Titans lights the light of hope in the hearts and makes the viewer hope to watch the story continue. Protecting Eren and the other characters engaged in a grueling struggle was exciting, but seeing what was lost in the process was heartbreaking.

While the betrayal of ideals becomes normal and corruption becomes more and more difficult for the fighters, Eren, a character that many love, undergoes a terrible transformation that overshadows the entire series. With these interpretations, it is clear that the end of the Attack on Titan series will be bloody and painful.

At the end of this article, we would be happy to know which anime you have seen. How did watching it make you feel? Do you know a place for another dark collection on this empty list?
