What's a good mecha series with loads of horror?

Is that even a thing?
>>
Betterman

Though I'm not sure if you'd call it "good". I liked it anyway

It's mostly an OAV thing. The recent STRAIT JACKET anime was pretty horrific, but a one-shot. The BLUE SEED series had oodles of giant insectoid ickieness, TERRAFORMERS is not for the squeamish, and the GARO anime series matched the live-action originals with dark deeds.
>>
It's definitely an OVA thing. Iczer One might be something to look at. Not so much horror as "ugly aliens that actually kill people and the lighting's pretty dark most of the time", but you might like it.
>>
>>14010228
>loads of horror

Not really a thing in anime period
>>
>>14013884
Well, there's Gyo, and arguably Hell Girl too. Hell Teacher Nube sort of counts.
>>
M3 is pretty good once you can get into it

>---It's hot-----So hooot!! Higyaaaaaaaa!!
Visual novel or not this is the only answer that's the best answer.

For anime i would recommend Blue gender the first 2 episodes of Total Eclipse and the first episode of Iczer 1.
>>
>>14010228
Eva?
>>
Blue Gender
>>
>>14013964
EVA is a lot less horror and a lot more psychological experiment, really.
>>
>>14014683
Psychological horror IS a thing. And the angels look horrific
>>
GoGo V, although it is somewhat offset by the Tatsumi siblings being pros at fighting evil.
>>
>>14010228
Blue Gender was pretty alright.
>>
>>14014825
It really wasn't.

>>14014799
Are we making this a thing? I love GoGoV to death and all but are we really making this a thing?

I'm not quite sure if I want to make it a thing. Even though GoGoV is fucking awesome.
>>
>>14014742
If you want to go down that route, then pretty much anything is horror. Even Xabungle can be viewed as horror once you see the twist.
>>
>>14014914
Well, it is scarier than even some of the Soda Sentai. At least, when not having comedy episodes. Plus the fear of failing to save people.

Getter Robo

>>14014926
There's a dedicated spoopy ghost episode for sure and they take saving lives dead seriously, but gee when they break out VICTORY PROMINENCE it's hard to feel any way but hype.

Would still recommend to anyone.

Nigga you high. Sahaquiel and gahgiel are the only real spoopy looking angels. Most of them are kawaii as fug for kaiju standards.
>>
>>14015061

There's no such thing as a scary kaiju in the first place, so that's not a big deal.
>>
>>14015061
Well, to a degree they are purely horrific. Specifically, the concept of what they must look like in "real life".
>>
>>14013890
>Gyo
Of all the anime you pick a terrible adaptation of a weak Junji Ito story.
>Hell Girl
I can agree here.
>Hell Teacher Nube
Shonen series aren't scary.

Go watch Shiki and don't come back until you're finished with it.

Genocyber is a classic horror-inspired mecha

Dream hunter rem has a few /m/ moments and that shit is nightmare fuel.
>>
>>14013952

Loving it so far, we need more lovecraftian anime.
>>
>>14016447

Im fucking having nyaruko flashbacks

>>14016564

Nyaruko was fun though
SANCHI PINCHI NIGGA

Glad to see our numbers are hitting the double digits

Sue is wonderful

Is there any ani/m/e that deals with horror from the inside rather than the characters venturing in from outside?

Like, "wake up on a generation ship that has its lights either off or flickering and holy shit what are those random sounds and roars damn the calendar is three centuries ahead of the canned food WHAT THE FUcK is that tapping noise in the ducts?" kind of ani/m/e.
>>
>>14016885
I thought Pandorum was pretty fun too.
>>
>>14016885

parts of Betterman can fit that mold
>>
>>14016885
Oh you mean like Event Horizon?
>>
>>14015061
Well Anno always loved the Kaiju in Ultraman and felt guilty about rooting for them to get beaten up, so it makes sense that a lot of the Agnels are what he would find cute.
