Corpse Party is good for the gore and violent imagery

Very different types of anime. I don't think I would say either are horror. People definitely like both, but one is more like a Shonen adventure with a lot of creepy loli stuff, gore, and a bleak world and the other is more a standard Shonen.

Corpse Party is better to play on Steam rather than to watch the anime. If you want some horror anime I recommend Gakkougurashi and Sankarea.

Higurashi and Shiki are the best horror anime imo

Corpse Party is good if you play the game

wasn't a fan of Another

I forgot Corpse Party had an anime. I never watched it, but I'm sure it's terrible. The game was decent though. Definitely overrated, but it was still good, and I would still recommend playing it.

Since you said "dark" anime and not "horror" anime, I've got a few recommendations:

-Neon Genesis Evangelion - Maybe a cliche mention. I'm sure most have already seen it, but it deserves to be mentioned.
-Saishuu Heiki Kanojo (aka Saikano) - Very depressing, but definitely an experience. This anime really affected me at the time though. I had dreams of it for weeks after watching it. Despair is the best word I can think of to describe this anime.
-Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku - Different type of story from Saikano but similar feels. Also, while the world is definitely filled with despair in this anime as well, there's also a strong sense of hope.

I legit don't understand what people like about Shiki. It started ok, but was just boring. I figure it's one of those "the manga's better" anime. Haven't seen Corpse Party or Higurashi.

I haven't watched Higurashi for a long time, but I remember it being quite good. Most people recommend the VN leagues above the anime (I haven't read it yet myself), but the anime also held up well on its own imo.

Shiki is actually a Japanese remake of Salem's Lot. The book says it explicitly but the anime still has that feeling. It's kind of cool to see a Stephen King book turned into an anime with a setting change.

Made in Abyss has plenty of fucked up mean-spirited shit.

Another has a lot of hilarious deaths but I dont remember if the show was aware of how bad it was or if they treated them 100% serious though.

Hell Girl and Shiki are my favorite horror anime. Hell Girl's third season gets weird though. Not weird in a creepy way, but weird in "well I wasn't expecting this to be a thing" way.

I'd like to add Death Parade, Tomodachi game, Ghost hunt, Gantz, in/spector, and maybe Boogiepop phantom to this list.

Along with Shiki, as many others have said.

Made in Abyss has been a masterpiece, a fucked up one at that.

I never new it was explicitly a remake, I assumed it was more just a rip off relying on the fact an older King novel would be obscure enough in Japan to pass under the radar.

Author acknowledges it right in the book.

Made In Abyss is tops. Basically a 10/10 anime, but it has random creepy 0/10 moments. Youll know them when you see them.

I never saw the higurashi anime because I heard it was basically just shock value. The VN has quite an amazing story though

Yeah, this is the main reason I use myanimelist. It's less about what I watched, and more about what I need to watch. It is nice to have a list of what I watched too though, since it helps me skim over and make recommendations for people, rather than just going off memory.

It's been a long time, so I don't remember it too well, but I want to say the first half or so was like that, and then the second half became more story-focused. But yeah, if you've already read the VN then I'd just ignore it. Like I said earlier in the thread, I haven't experienced the VN myself, but anyone I know who has either loved the VN but didn't like the anime, or liked the anime but still rated the VN way higher.

If your primary concern is "fucked up" anime then you can't go wrong with Made in Abyss. Though I feel compelled to warn that the author is kind of man who talks about traveling to Malaysia while thinking about child porn. A certain degree of what makes it fucked up stems from that. How Hollywood thinks they can do a live-action version is utterly beyond me. Anyways, it's a very good story in spite of its very strong negatives. But you need a high resistance to loli / shota characters to tolerate it. It's not one I would recommend to most people unless they're really deep in the weeds of looking for anime beyond the surface-level normie stuff.

I can second Death Parade, Madoka Magica and Boogiepop. If quality is of no concern I guess I could recommend Chaos;Head too. It's not very good but it definitely hit a lot of fucked up moments that earned it a cult following way back when.

Personal recommendation would be Re:Zero. (Re: Life in a Another World From Zero). The protagonist has the power to resurrect to a predefined previous checkpoint whenever he dies. The author uses this to great effect in finding new, horrifying ways to kill off characters. The main character is highly divisive but he slowly starts becoming a normal human being as the show progresses and in the most recent arc he's even got a couple moments where he's almost kind of cool.

Some other good, dark series. Suffering Pariah Kaiji (Sometimes translated as Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor). Devilman: Crybaby. Paranoia Agent even if it's ending kind of sucks. Serial Experiments Lain and Monster are great. Another sleeper but I liked Grimgar too. Not really all that dark but it's a really down to earth, depressed kind of anime that might strike a good chord if you're looking for something moody but not too crazy. Maybe as a palate cleanser between other shows.

Another is taking its time spitting out wtf is going on. I hope the payout is worth it.

I loved madoka magica. Considering i thought i was being trolled after watching the first episode: it was fantastic.

I loved future diary as well. I liked code geuss just up to the original ending. The newer stuff sounded bad and sounded like they ruined the ending so i didnt watch.

the reason the second half aka season 2 improved was cuz the writer himself had to step in to fix the issues season 1 adaption left that is why you felt it improved higurashi strong points is more in characters story instead of horror as it deals with their past and pains and trauma season 1 screwed over most of the characters storylines best moments but thankfully Ryu07 helmed season 2

Im mostly through Another but so far:

Um, people die because theres an extra dead student. Like ok. And so people just seem to die if theyre in town and in class 3 or related to those in class 3. They can apparently just leave town to avoid this. And so far the deaths seem kind of random like it may or may not be supernatural.

Its taken a long time to not say much. I hope the ending is really good to make up for my opinion so far....
