Petshop of Horrors

TBS Wonderful was a late night anime programming block from September 19, 1997 to September 26, 2002.

Series with ghosts, spirits and the paranormal.

animes that are based on a magical/mysterious shop

These are darker based animes that are written for a female audience. not necessarily just horror but certainly not your average light-hearted girl romance. (but nothings wrong with that either!)

also if there's anything you wish to recommend dont be afraid to send me a dm!!!

The best blend of fantasy, supernatural, and a hint of romance all harboured by a dark overtone.
In short, they are the perfect serious late-night anime.

Get ready for Halloween with 30 nights worth of horror OVAs and movies that are guaranteed to deliver you spooks and scares.

***Some of these anime can be hard to find so its best to research for links or downloads beforehand for a smoother viewing experience.

I remember going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and picking out a movie based on the box art alone. I'd look at the front, I'd look at the back, and more often than not I'd put it back on the shelf. Occasionally there'd be something like Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll, and I knew I just had to rent it, or more accurately get my parents to rent it.

This isn't just a list of movies that were available on VHS at my local video store, this is also a list of movies that I would have rented had they been there. They have box art and synopsis appeal, regardless of the reality contained within.

This is my virtual VHS store, where we say Japanimation and we don't stock TV shows unless they're only a few episodes long. I hope you like violence and nudity. Things here also generally skew older, keeping with the VHS theme.

Mystery anime that center around a series of deaths, assaults, or disappearances that are somehow connected. Possibly feature: serial killers, organized crime, supernatural elements, etc.

Episodic mysteries will be excluded if the string of crimes is limited to its own arc and not a part of an overarching narrative.

Open to suggestions.

Anime featuring prominent female characters, or with a female target audience, with dark and/or edgy themes and aesthetics. Anime for your inner edgy middle-schooler

(one entry per franchise)

as a halloween lover as well as an anime lover, I always love horror/halloween themed anime. with October coming in less than a month, why not put out some halloween watches?

Don't have time? These are the anime for you! Anime with less than 6 episodes. Their stories are complete (you won't feel like it ended with a cliffhanger) and really enjoyable. For people who love anime but don't have too much time to watch them.
*Ayakashi includes 3 short horror stories (separate from each other). I recommend the 3rd one (episodes 9-11).
*Aoi Bungaku includes 6 short stories (separate from each other). You can watch either one and you will enjoy it.
*The Grimm Variations includes 6 short stories (separate from each other). You can't really go wrong with classic Grimm fairy tales.
*Anime classified as movies are less than 30 minutes long.
*All Itou Junji anime include smaller short horror stories (separate from each other). Most are of decent quality for a casual watch. (Also, give the World of Horror game a try, you'll be surprised)

Here is a list of the best animes I have seen, within these subgenres.
Not all of them are seinen, but most have an adult theme.

Some good or not so good anime for the spooky month

An assorted stack of anime series with some talented detectives and mind-boggling mysteries to uncover. Highly recommended for fans who love to put on a thinking cap and wrap their head around, trying to unravel secrets alongside the protagonists.

Anime series, OVAs and Movies transmitted in Locomotion Channel between 1999 and 2005.


Locomotion was a Latin American cable channel dedicated to anime and animated shows targeting primarily an 18–34 audience, broadcasting movies, TV series and shorts. It was launched on 1 November 1996 and was closed down on 31 July 2005.

A selection of shows that centralizes on the idea of evil, whether as a direct presence or a symbolic representation, that revels in themes of hostility, corruption, debauchery and death that ultimately, cause the grievous and tragic collapse of one's sense of humanity. Due to its dark nature, this list is unfiltered and therefore, may display lurid elements that are problematic. But if you're here to seek the thrills of violence and the spills of blood, then witness the dance of the Devil.

Caveats:

• Most entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Anime formats vary from film, anthology, short/ova and full-length series.
• If there are recommendation, I'll provide an extended note in the caption.
