Animes usually retarded, and anything but scary. But there are really some awesome movies that even I today as a young adult love to watch every now and again. Anime can do things that real time movies cant. Heres a list of the best horror anime ive compiled since I was a kid. Theres not a lot of anime in the genre of horror so the list is rather slim pickings.
If any of you have any others please post!
Whether you like or hate anime, I recommend picking these up.
1: Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Rj7nn0ZVs
(this was intended to be filmed as a live action sequence but an earthquake damaged the studio that was to pick it up and so it was sent to Satoshi Kon to be fast tracked into an anime. The BEST anime period and top 5 best horror movies of all time! Anime or Real time, hands down a great film!)
2: Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
(classic anime horror one of the first animes to hit America aswell in the early 70's. Classic story about the most powerful Dunpeal [half breed spawn of a vampire and a human] vampire hunter that is the son of the vampire king Count Dracula. Amazing gothic art!)
3: Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent
4: Blood the Last Vampire
5: Twilight of the Dark Master
6: Wicked City
7: Elfen Lied
8: Berserk
