Could an anime adaptation of the Ring or The Grudge work?
>>134521826
Only if it's creepy as hell.
>>134521826
But anime can not be scary. It just can not.
called ghost slide
>>134521826
why is japanese horror so formulaic and filled with cliches when their culture has a huge tradition of freaky weird monsters to draw on
I'm fairly certain there was a Ring manga.
On a /co/ related note, the webcomic is adorable as fuck
>>134521826
ME on the right
>>134521945
Because the vast majority of youkai are either hilarious or largely nonthreatening.
>>134521872
There's a handful, but good psychological horror is vastly underused in anime.
>>134521945
Say what you want about Junji Ito, but it's hard to call his stuff formulaic.
>>134521826
>"watch this anime and you will die in 7 days"
>"tune in next week :^)"
Nah
The Wallflower was already made
>>134521945
You should watch Korean stuff.
>>134521967
It's a novel trilogy
>>134522120
>It's a novel trilogy
There's a manga. I think I own it, for some reason.
>>134522120
>watch Korean stuff.
Which is easy since any media with Koreans qualifiers as horror.
>>134522120
>It's a novel trilogy
I know dipshit, but there was a shitton of noncanon spinoffs including a fucking manga
Shit was even translated
>>134521826
But we already do
>>134522243
came here to post that
>>134521826
I remember there was a hentai doujinshi about the grudge.
>>134521826
yes
>>134522243
Sadako is best girl.
All of that stuff with the video tape was a misunderstanding, she was just taping herself practicing talking to people!
And the the anime cleared all of it up!
>>134521967
>>134522149
>>134522220
Yup I managed to dig it up from my collection, it's pretty damn old though I think the original was printed in 1999.
>>134521826
It can.
Subete ga F managed to feel creepy enough for me.
>>134521826
there should be fluid animation and the jagged animation or something, for the ring anime to work. It can only be done on OVAs
>>134522213
Why?
>>134522531
WHAT SAUCEE?
>>134521826
I have yet to be scare by anime yet. I do remember Courage the Cowardly Dog being freaky as hell back when i was a teen, so maybe its an age thing.
because anime is never scary
>>134522531
Dude sauce
>>134522540
kyoani needs to do spooky shit.
>>134522120

Anon
Why would you do this?
>>134523385
>>134523429
I remember when I was child I was always watching Hell Teacher Nube while hiding behind sofa.
Cute!
>>134522243
beat me to it
>>134522531
This?
>>134521945
>when their culture has a huge tradition of freaky weird monsters to draw on
Well the formula an cliches did came from their culture and tradition actually. The ring and the grudge ghosts are based on Okiku and Oiwa, ghosts from kabuki and folk tales.

>they haven't browsed through the ghost tag

You don't need any other horror anime after this gem
>>134527081
People will laugh at me, but I watched the original version a long time ago and the ring and the grudge ripp off episodes scared the crap out of my ten year old self. Also the eyeball-mouth bitch episode, fuck that one.
The rabbit and mirror ones were always ridiculous though.
>>134527350
Rewatch the abridged version
Why is the psychological horror genre so neglected in anime?
>>134521826
Yea but it's really hard to make anime actually scary without having jumpscares.
>>134527551
I already did and I loved it. I'm just sayin that the original version managed to scare me.
>>134524590
10/10 would bang
>>134527004
On what site? Exhentai doesn't give me shit except 11 pages of worthless stuff.
>>134528046
Not him, but I know nhentai has a ghost tag. I think Pururin did as well, but since Pururin is kill I suppose that doesn't matter much.
Only if it is romance
>>134528187
>nhentai
Noice, thanks for the site.
Also, I THINK I found something, don't know if it's the right doujin though.
Moomin had better horror than most modern anime. I know a lot of people say they were terrified by the Groke, but personally I was more scared by stuff like Moomin transforming into that weird monkey creature, or by the girl who turned invisible, or all those goddamn Hattifatteners surging across the landscape like some sort of milky white river of the vaguely anthropomorphic ghosts of ants crossed with electric eels. It was all just really messed up when you think back on it.
>>134528252
This is cute but Ringu-chan would jsut bite your face off
>>134528187
>Pururin is kill
Forever mad. I'd favorited a bunch of stuff on that site, and I liked its tagging system because there were so many unique tags. Now that it's gone there's a bunch of h-manga I'll probably never find again unless I take the time to browse through many thousands of results from general searches on other sites.
>>134528252
A ghost falls in love with a boy. Unable to confess, she is gifted by a deus ex machina with the boy's television. Never minding the strange model number, she immediately crawls through the screen, and is overjoyed to find out that he has a crush on her as well.
>>134521826
it work!
