scariest anime?

quraid · December 10th, 2004, 11:08 PM

now, Grave of the Fireflies is supposed to be the biggest tearjerker and the ping pong club the crassest one. but which one anime can be considered to be the scariest ever? not scary as in hellraiser and house on the haunted hill, we are talking here blair witch and ju-on (of course the japanese one) scary.
i am yet to see an anime show or movie or OAV that can give me goosebumps.

any takers?

Anime horror doesn't really scare me... I guess animated cartoons aren't scary. :/

I have yet to come across a anime that scare's me.

xxxholic, which is a manga, seemed a little freaky. It might be scary if it was an anime.

Anime is intended to be as realistic as possible, you haven't seen a scarey one yet.

I havent seen any anime that frightens me cartoons arnt really that scary at all, but the closest would be hellsing (for lack of anything else really)

Anime has yet to learn how to be really scary. End of Evangelion and perhaps Hellsing have only managed to create the initial atmosphere of scaryness. Still need those basic elements often seen in movies. The "sudden-sound" trick is yet to be even used.

You're thinking too correspondence to AMERICAN CARTOONS. Well, I suppose I see where you're getting at. It really depends on the seriousness (That a word?) of the anime.

Akira. It was so scary it really gave me nightmares in some nights after watching it.

What was it about? Sounds interesting

Akira is a neo-apocalypsic anime in which the end of the world is about to come.

I have seen only about 10-15 minutes of Akira. But I can never forget the scene of the city crumbling like glass and a car full of people was running on a bridge that's collapsing.

sounds somewhat scary, I mean doesn't seem like that.

Hm....Perfect Blue is the closest to me I guess.

The creepiest one for me was Magnetic Rose from the Memories collection...
