No such thing. I don't understand why.

Maybe Japan's idea of horror is psychological.

I'm not sure anime can be that scary.

It can be disgusting, though. I guess that would be Blood-C.

>>142101690
wow, this is some delicious bait. Squid? Prairie Oyster? What's you're secret senpai?

Japan can't do good horror. There are very few mangas and (3d) movies that count as creepy, but that's about it.

I don't really scare of the first book since I was 15 years old and the later books become science fiction.

How does that bait taste fellas?

>>142101554
Naaah

Mayoiga is entertaining and somewhat suspenseful, but it's not even remotely scary or eerie despite the imaginary monsters

The fact that nobody has been killed on screen and the monsters were all more or less confirmed to be in their heads changed this anime from horror to just supernatural
>>
>>142101506
One episode of GiTS 1st Gig, when Togusa's desktop cursor moves by itself.
>>
>>142101614
Eh, the anime adaption is more just torture porn than anything.
>>
>>142101619
Wall Woman, Next Floor, Video and Tormentor are all genuinely creepy. The kind that if you watch late at night, you might turn on the lights when you go to sleep.

It's a shame season 3 was absolute garbage without any form of redemption. Season 2 at least had wall woman.

Kagewani season 1 reminded me A LOT of Yamishibai. Some of the episodes were really creepy and suspenseful, especially the underwater proposal. Though I enjoyed that it was somewhat storydriven, I feel Season 2 has strayed way too far from the original eerie monster of the week horror, into a more generic action paranormal storydriven anime much in the same way Supernatural did.

Horror is such a lowest common domino genre. This comes from someone that watched Happy Tree Friends at the ripe age of eight. That's who I'm comparing you to, to my eight year old self. Grow up will you.

>the monsters were all more or less confirmed to be in their heads

I don't see how you came to this conclusion.

>>142101773
Ring isn't good horror and I fucking love Ring.

I've seen the original Ring,i've seen Rasen,i've seen Kazenban i've seen Birthday,i've seen S,i've seen Sadako 3D and I -LITERALLY- do not have a hard on for it because it's "scary". I do because I appreciate the mystery behind the whole thing.

Which unfortunately ain't happening in the S or Sadako 3D movies because they've got these retarded and boring screamfest scenes but goddammit i've gotta take it. and i've tried to actually read Ring because I strongly dislike the films that have nothing to do with Suzukis writings/novels but fuck reading and all that.

>Horror is such a lowest common domino genre
So are SoL, comedy, action, and fantasy, yet here we are watching anime
>>
Shinsekai Yori
>>
>>142102159
False equivalence.
>>
>>142102106
Horror is a genre like everything else. There are good written horror and there's bad written horror.

Just because the latter is more common doesn't mean a well told horror story isn't worth the same recognition as any well told story
>>
>>142102182
>There are good written horror
Wrong. There's no such thing as good written horror.
>>
>>142102125
Because since nobody seems to be dying, and there have been no dangerous confrontations with the monsters, any sense of real danger kind of went away. Now it's just a bunch of nutjobs running from mysteriously caused mass delusions

It doesn't help that their representations of their fears is usually hilarious (giant stuffed penguin, laughing train, giant floating wooden blob)
>>
>>142102204
Shiki is one
>>
>>142101737
>Prairie Oyster
That's no oyster, I've been deceived.
>>
>>142102180
No, all these genres are for the lowest common denominator. Only literary dramas are aimed at the thinking man, and they don't exist in anime. Also they aren't even necessarily better, since "lowest common denominator" has nothing to do with whether something is good or not
>>
>>142102264
I'm just not sure how you can say it's a supernatural show when you just said that there's nothing actually supernatural in the show.
>>
>>142102292
Shiki is more a bad parody than horror. Horror with character designs like that? don't make me laugh.

>>142102315
Wrong
>>
>>142102361
Well the fact that they're all mysteriously having these delusions at the same time, and that some kind of mysterious force is more or less confirmed making them get lost whenever they try to leave the village
>>
>>142102364
>Shiki is more a bad parody than horror. Horror with character designs like that? don't make me laugh.
Shiki is fucking amazingly written and suspenseful as all hell

It does suffer a lot from the fucking atrocious character designs, but that's really the only flaw I'd contribute this anime
>>
>>142101506
>Horror

You surely mean comedy with just desserts
>>
>>142102491
Watch Kagewani episode 6 for some fucking great horror
>>
Horror in anime is hard to really make scary though

I remember back when I was younger watching Ghost Hunt. THe arc with the possesed doll and the final arc with the hands was prettty spoopy for younger me, but it didn't age well now.

Things like Shiki/Higurashi/Mayoiga/Another have a lot because of the suspension, you want to know whats really happening, but it doesn't make it scary unfortunatly.

doesn't help that some of those scenes are animated so weirdly that they become comedy like
>>
>>142101614
We've been over this, it's a great mystery anime but it isn't horror (with the possible exception of the very first chapter).

>All these the Ring
The Ring is not even scary. Every over exposed ghost is not scary.

>Pic related
The best Japanese horror show. It's yearly show (only on summer) and based on true story. It just like Live Action version of Fuan no Tane.

How is it that nips can make some of the most amazing horror games, and yet there is not a single anime that captures anything even close to that level?
