both of these are hand-crafted raw spleen-venting psychotic demtia fests by hiroshi harada. if you really dig putting your brain in the blender and then jumping into the bottomless cesspool of humanity's dark psyche i highly recommend checking out both!

Both get pretty intense and have fucked up things happen with innocent adolescents. For everyone who can appreciate and enjoy tragic beauty. Grand Guignol!

Both are fairly short, (Nekojiru-sou only being a 32 minute long, 1 episode OVA) and both are very meaningful while not showing a lot and using less motion in their animations. On that note, both are very interesting artistically. Nekojiru-sou is DEFINITELY not as gory/dark as Shoujo Tsubaki, but I enjoy both of these and feel like they give off very similar type of feeling while watching them. Even if Nekojiru-sou isn't as dark/morbid.

This recommendation is in Spanish too. -The main character lose their parents and are taken to work. -The girls fall in love and their relationships have a very similar end. -Both have gore and sex scenes. -Las personajes principales pierden a sus padres y son llevadas a trabajar. -Las chicas se enamoran y sus relaciones tienen un final similar. -Ambas tienen escenas gores y sexuales.

If you're more into psychological horror elements in Midori, you will enjoy Perfect Blue. Not only that, but it's a better movie.

While neither have a lot of immediate similarities at a surface level, both were created almost single-handedly by one person and that unwavering sense of love and passion shine through here. Both of these movies could've only turned out the way they did since they had one talented creator behind them and they're better films partially because of that.

Both films are notorious for being banned around the world Both films are not afraid to go over board when it comes to Mature content Both films show gore, grotesque scenes, etc

Conveying words through art is a skill that is exceptionally fundamental and important to a films subtle qualities and is thus a very hard aspect of story-telling to fully grasp. Mononoke and Midori: Shoujo Tsubaki are two such shows that use art to its utmost potential, both films tell horrifying stories made all the more potent through the visual phantasmagoria that is Mononoke's hybrid of Japanese traditional paintings and watercolor pallettes, and Midori's relentlessly surreal and grotesquely callous environments. Both shows are must watches for anyone looking for something bursting at the brims with experimental, artistic flare.

Midori and Kanashimi No Belladonna share eccentric but interesting artwork that essentially boils down into high amounts of nudity and disturbing content. Furthermore, both are incredibly trippy and make you question whether the explicit content exists for the purpose of commentary or not. I support the notion that they're style over substance but if you liked either you're likely to enjoy the other. These are also two QUITE memorable movies but whether that is meant in a good or bad way is up for you to decide.

Both feature a bandage-covered guy displaying a mix of love and sadism towards an unfortunate young girl. Both are horror with drama elements.

Both of these animes are bizarre. The authors and creators have gone out of their way to come up with a plot-line that really makes you think. Neither if these are for the faint of heart and some of the scenes are NOT children friendly. Highly recommend both of these for a student of the psychological and horrific. I've had to re-watch both these animes at least once to attempt to wrap my head around them and I may have to back to them again. If you are looking for a light-hearted comedy or feel good anime, these are not them.

These are some of the most bizarre, disgusting, and stomach turning anime you will ever see! Both feature some incredibly dark and sensitive themes that's sure to make most viewers feel incredibly uncomfortable. Shoujo Tsubaki has gained quite the notoriety in recent years due to multiple Youtubers making videos on it and because it's readily available on Youtube. Dokushin Apartment is a lot more obscure and harder to find but you should totally try and track it down if you're interested in seeing just how weird and explicit anime can get!
