GKIDS is an American film distributor based in New York with, according to the Los Angeles Times, a focus on "sophisticated, indie" animation. GKIDS releases critically acclaimed mostly hand-drawn, international films—such as the works of the independent Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli—to North American audiences. GKIDS also distributes computer animated and stop-motion films in addition to hand-drawn ones, as well as American films by independent filmmakers. The name is said to be an acronym for "Guerrilla Kids International Distribution Syndicate".

In this list are those anime that have been distributed by the distributor GKIDS.

Anime that can be classified as "edgy", but not in the usual sense (childish and pretensious). These anime have slick styles and aesthetics, you could say they have an edge. Their art usually resembles graphic novels and street art and are overall very stylish. That also echoes on their plots, generally pretty dynamic and fast-paced. That's this kind of edgy.

All these anime have leading characters that have no problems killing other people!

- there are more out there, I listed my favorites

For people who are bored of normal anime

Lines so sharp they could cut metal.

This list is a collection of anime with more edgy artstyles, this includes triangle-based silhouettes, prevalent pointy features and dynamic perspective shots.
I will not be including any shows based on theme/plot alone, it's all selected first and foremost art-wise.
