characters are put in depressing situations

Every anime directed by Ichirou Itano. Also includes series he only partially directed (i.e. Patlabor ep. 6).

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

A collection themed around the spookiest time of year, but it's always Halloween in my soul...

While most of this list falls under the horror/suspense/mystery genres, there are a few included based on their heavy themes of zombies/ghosts/vampires, etc.

This list ranges from incredibly good to laughably bad, so I've ordered it by score so you have a better idea of what you're in for. Sequels are not included.

Featuring Gantz like anime and everything about monster slayers.

These are some anime’s were the main character could be interpreted as the villain

All manga that fit the "Death Game" criteria. You can also look for the manga version.

It's scary and bloody time. High quality of action horror anime that will give you chills!!

Themes: Action - Horror - Gore - Psychological
Demographic: Shounen, Seinen

Animax was the Latin American affiliate of Sony Entertainment Television's youth channel.

Animax's headquarters are located in the Minato district of Tokyo, where it began broadcasting on June 1, 1998. The signal for Latin America was launched on July 31, 2005, replacing the avant-garde channel Locomotion. Its offices were located in Caracas, Venezuela, where those of its sister channels Sony Entertainment Television and AXN, belonging to Sony Pictures Television International, are also located.

Like the other subsidiaries around the world where it is available, it broadcast anime series, and since May 2008 it began broadcasting live-action series and movies distributed by Sony Pictures.

On May 3, 2010, the channel was renewed with a new logo and graphics. From May 1, 2011 it became the currently defunct Sony Spin, disappearing as a television channel.
