Many years later, and now a full-blown horror fan, I made a second attempt to watch the series -convinced that no mere cartoon could possibly scare me.
I first saw it in high school when I was young and easily frightened. Why it’s awesome: Boogiepop Phantom has the dubious of award of being one of only two anime (the other being Higurashi) to give me nightmares. All you know is that you’re seriously freaking out. You have no idea what’s happening or what’s real. It’s like: Watching Jacob’s Ladder while super high. It’s another anthology of horror shorts, this time based on technology and cameras and using rotoscope animation. If you enjoy Yamishibai, watch Kowabon next. So just trust me when I say you have to check this one out. This one was hard to review, since each episode has a new, unrelated plot and characters. The show is rarely gory, instead relying on atmosphere, suspense, the supernatural events and darkly ambiguous endings to scare its viewers. ( Here’s a video of kamishibai storyteller if you’re curious.) It uses jerky, stop motions effects to make things even creepier.
CORPSE PARTY ANIME BGM LIST PORTABLE
The animation of Yamishibai (“dark play”) is based on the kamishibai, or “paper play”, a type of portable street theater that uses pictures and narration to tell a story. Each day at five, a man in a yellow noh mask brings his kamishibai theater to a playground to entertain a group of school children with spooky stories based on urban legends and Japanese folklore. Why it’s awesome: This horror anthology proves that good things come in small packages, offering up bite-sized horror stories that are both fun and genuinely spooky (despite being only a few minutes in length). It’s like: A Japanese version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Number of Episodes: 78 (but each episode is only a few minutes long) So, keeping all that in mind, here are the anime I would recommend for a night of chills. While a lot of “best horror anime” lists will include thrillers and whatever horror series is the most popular, I want to stick solely to the stuff I found scary and that actually belongs in the horror category. Erased, which I highly recommend if you’re looking for a creepy murder mystery, is excellent. So let’s save both for another list.įinally, and most importantly, the show needs to be horror. But it’s still a bit long at 22 episodes. But with several seasons and over 60 episodes, it’s not exactly binge friendly. Higurashi When They Cry is probably one of the most famous horror anime out there. Next, I like to binge my horror anime in a single night, so I’m going to narrow the list down to shorter series. Fighting vampires and other supernatural creatures isn’t enough to frighten me. Hellsing and Tokyo Ghoul are both well known horror anime, but neither are particularly scary per se. Well, first off, the show actually needs to be scary - something that will give you enough chills to cool off that summer heat. And with the Japanese Obon festival only a couple of months away, now is the perfect time to binge watch a bunch of horror anime! So where to start? As the temperature rises, it’s the perfect time to stay inside and binge watch horror, starting with these eight great horror anime series.
