When most people think of anime, their brain usually shifts to Dragonball, Pokémon or Naruto. Many people aren’t even aware that anime in itself is about as versatile as live action movies and there’s something for everyone there. There’s an especially large volume of anime horror shows that are critically acclaimed and very successful, and it’s gotten to the point where some of them are even made by American or European companies.
Let’s take a look at some of the best anime horror shows we’ve seen in this century, despite the fact that we’re not even halfway.
Highschool of the Dead (2010)
It’s exactly what it sounds like – high school students trying to survive in a world where zombies roam the streets. This one definitely has some gruesome parts in it, mixed in perfectly with the typical teenage drama you’d expect from high schoolers.
Another (2012)
If you like your horror shows where the plot is about something ominous that happened in the past and a whole community that’s aware but pretends it didn’t happen, this is the show for you. Also, this show is infamous for its weird and cheesy deaths. Some of them are almost borderline hilarious.
Hellsing Ultimate (2006)
Much like all the other Hellsing shows, this is basically your supernatural horror show where a powerful vampire, Alucard, fights dark organisations among which for some reason a new and shiny Third Reich or the catholics.
