Is there any genuine scary horror anime?

None. Anime is too visually unrealistic to depict horror. The most 'horror' you'll ever get in anime is a cheap jump scare.

If you throw enough spooky music and those creepy Japanese dolls, sure.

Normal horror shit doesn't do anything to me, but I'm scared of dolls.
>>
>>138280949
What kind of horror is it? I'm hoping for something really disturbing like Silent Hill.

>>138281067
There's no anime that disturbed you even a little?
>>
>>138281127
What is this and why should I watch it? He looks unsettling like he's about to kill a lot of people and I can appreciate that.
>>
Paranoia Agent is pretty spooky desu.

this definitely wasn't horror (more SOL/coming of age) but it definitely had a very disturbing and eerie atmosphere. it's one of the few things i've watched that actually made me legitimately creeped out.

a lot of the spookiness comes from the rotoscoping and what the fuck was up with that one girl with pigtails that totally had a man's face
>>
>>138281067
a similar can be said about anything you watch through a screen
>>
>>138281462
that's just uncanny
>>

I thought Madoka was great at psychological horror. It started uncanny and only got worse. I actually felt relieved when I finished it.
>>
>>138281667
> Madoka
> good at anything
I kept cringing until episode 8 hoping it would get better and then cringed so hard I broke my face in two. When people say "bad writing", I think of Madoka. My only guess as to why would anyone like that is ryona boners.
>>
>>138280931

This reminds me of a question I've always wanted to ask /a/: is it possible for a girl to be scary in an anime? It seems like anyone who is supposed to be scary or intimidating is either turned into a waifu or not taken seriously.

>>138280931
Monster
>>
>>138282164
Monster is a supernatural dramedy like Akame Ga Kill. Retard

>>138281173
>Hasn't seen Perfect Blue
Go watch it, it's made by Satoshi Kon.

>>138282285
should i know who that is?

Just watch it, it's better if you go in blind.

Don't listen to him, Pupa is just awful, at least in animu format.

good music/atmosphere.

Shiki started out with some good, creepy moments that even gave me goosebumps but the more I understood what was happening the less creepy it got. Once the unknown becomes known, they just turn into generic villains.
>>
>>138280931
Never really found anything that disturbed me that much. Some manga are disturbing though
>>
>>138284296
This. Shiki and Another were fun for the first few episodes until everything became clear.

I could say Alien 9 was disturbing but the rape metaphor in this anime is completely unwelcome and unrealistic, and the MC is more insufferable than Shinji.
>>
Serial Experiments Lain made me feel uncomfortable.

Also shin sekai yori ended up doing horror when everything went to hell towards the end
>>
>>138286533
Shin Sekai Yori is one of my 3 10/10s. Would def recommend to anyone who likes a good story.

Squealer did N O T H I N G wrong

A few good ones.

Corpse Party
Higurashi
Gakkou Gurashi! (Casual shit though)

I actually think Future Diary has a ton of horror elements to it.
>>
>>138286830
I'd say the manga does the horror better for Gurashi, since the anime made it a bit more light-hearted in tone.
>>
>>138280931
Oreimo.
>>
>>138286656
Does the faggots in the show ruin the mood? That's the only reason why I couldn't read the manga properly
>>
>>138287157
You might as well skip it. You probably couldn't get through Yamada-kun either, could you?
>>
>>138286830
>Corpse Party
Too bad it wasn't longer. Since they fast forwarded through most events there was too much focus on gore at the expense of atmosphere.
Good ending though.
