Scary anime recommendations, please

Can you recommend me some scary animes?

 

When I say scary I dont mean anime series that relies on jump scares or gore. I mean atmosphere and suspense, like a psychological horror movie.

 

 

Thank You!

If psychological is what you want Id recommend something like Monster or Perfect Blue. The later one inspired the movie Black Swan.( also reccomend Paprika by the same director but its less horror and just strange and abstract)

 

You could also try Serial Experiments Lain and Hell Girl. 

 

The most classic horror shows you could get with anime would be Yamishibai, Elfen Lied, Another, and When They Cry. But all of those have either jumpscares or gore, so you probably won't like those.

Amazing! Monster and Perfect Blue sound very interesting. I dont mind gore and jumpscares, I just prefer suspense and psycological. Thank you!

Any time~ Im the same way lol, psychological always seems to scare me more than any other type of horror. If you end up watching any of them, let me know how you like them!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, maybe? Never seen the show but I remember fans saying that there was both gore and psychological horror in it.

 

 

Higurashi

Mirai Nikki

Psycho-Pass

Shikabane Hime

Shiki

 

 

 

Yami Shibai the first 2 season

 

 

Another, shiki, paranoia agent, monster

 

 

Cool! I think I will be very occupied with these.

Thanks

Try Madoka magica. It's just a bit scary and more on the psychological side. I know it doesn't look like it but appearances aren't everything~

It's definitely psychological horror, especially since the show does an about face to show the dark sides to the magical girl genre.
