    Serial Experiments Lain.

    I was rewatching a couple of episodes and I had forgotten how eerie and creepy this one was.

    Madoka.

    Even after all these years and rewatches, it can still draw me in. And Magia still sends chills up my spine.

      On the one hand, it’s incredibly well-made. On the other hand I’m not sure I ever want to watch that ever again.

        That’s how I feel about Grave of the Fireflies. I’ve only seen the first episode or two of Tokopi, but my spouse and I knew we had to put it down at the time. Maybe someday.

    Wierd pick, but Dorohedoro.

    The world and main plot are undeniably dark. But at the same time side threads and charachters have a juxtaposed wholesome and positive outlook, and tonally things work like a slice of life a lot of the time.

    It’s great.

    Since nobody mentioned it yet: The Promised Neverland

    It started with a very strong hook, had a middle section full of suspense, and ended the best way I could hope for.

    Psycho Pass is good though it’s not SUPER dark. Very dystopian though. Good show.

      Only season 1 though for any new people that haven’t watched it. What a shame there was only a single season… Guess if it got more seasons it could have ruined it /s

        Those were supposed to be on new lines. Will teach me not to supervise my own comments.

          I’ve found in all the mobile apps I’ve used, ya gotta double enter to get new lines to actually show up. Maybe I’m also doing something wrong, but that’s what works for me on Eternity anyway.
