Ultra-violent Anime.

[shadyh8er]

I need recommendations for the most extreme, brutal, messed up and twisted animes everyone can think of. Thank you.

Baccano: Those poor characters' fingers...


Kite: Just look at the "Violence and Gore" section in its IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246734/parentalguide

Violence Jack (the uncut version, which is hard to find, even online) was here. Everything else is small time. I'm not even sure I'm allowed to mention some of the things that happen in those three episodes, which may also be the worst in the history of Japanese animation. If you watch it, I suggest you get some steel wool ready to scrub yourself with afterwards. And when I say worst, I also mean that it fails so completely as a work of film that Manos: Hands of Fate looks competent in comparison.

It is worth remembering that, whatever anyone tells you, the most violent anime was all made during the late eighties and early nineties when the OAV market was in full swing. The gore and insanity in titles like Angel Cop and Apocalypse Zero put modern attempts to shame in terms of detail and animation quality.

As far as manga goes, I think that Violence Hero Riki Oh has a title that speaks for itself. Don't watch the anime, though. It takes out all the good parts.

Wow, thread resurrected after six months. Thats gotta be some sort of record.

I remember Ninja Scroll having lots of blood, but it has been a few years since I've seen it so I'm not sure how violent it was (other than large spurts of blood). But I'm guessing it was.

Edit: And I'm talking about the series, I have not seen the movie.

Read the Berserk manga.

Seriously, Elfenlied and Higurashi ain't got nothing on the amount of fucked up violence that occurs in Berserk.

 

[MadBlueWinnie]

I know its been said 20 times before, but Higurashi is your one stop anime for what you're looking for.
Also contains a brilliant story, hilarious cute moments which strangely contrast the violent stuff, and Rika.

 

[AngelicSven]

Hellsing has been said but i will reiterate it.

[b/]Watch Hellsing Ultimate if you want awesome gory violence!!![/b]

Yep, I haven't someone grind an immortal's face onto a wall till it was complete nothingness in any other anime.

Also, Elfin Lied, Gantz, Darker than Black, Higurashi...

Genocyber

Shigurui

No seriously, bloodshed is pretty much the only thing that Shigurui has going for itself and I must admit that it does it pretty interestingly.

Edit: Oh yeah, Kemonozume is pretty violent too, in addition to being strange as hell.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Oh god don't remind me of Genocyber. I was young when I watched that and it pretty much traumatise me, well it wasn't bad but I did felt pale watching it.

 

[Semi-Human]

Personaly if its just ultra violent a show starts boring the shit out off me though.

Elfen Lied okay i guess

Hellsing, Gantz, ninja scrolls are good. So's berserk but a little old. Neo genesis and Akira both have there moments. Shiguriu is ultra violent but sucks as a story.
You might wanna try Ichi the killer the anime

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Evangelion
Fist of the north star ( come on guys that literally explode when Kenshiro taps them)
Hellsing ultimate
Higurashi
Elfen lied
High school of the dead

There are a lot more but thats all on my mind right now.
