| osed125 said: It's been a looooong time since I watched/read a good anime/manga. I recently wanted to pick something up but I can't really find anything interesting. I'm kind of fucked in the head, the mangas and animes I enjoy the most are gore stuff like Berserk and Gantz or more adult psychological stuff like Monster, 20th Century Boys, Elfen Lied and such. Any recommendations? I tried to read Tokyo Ghoul but for some reason it didn't picked my interest. |
As everyone has said Parasyte sounds like it fis what you want. It is similar in Tokyo Ghoul in some aspects, but it does do a lot of things better.
Ergo Proxy is a very good psychological anime, a little old, but it's aged well.
Higurashi is great, very bloody and each arc has a definite purpose to fulfill that you won't get until after you finish it.
Also, if you want somethin that messes with your head, Serial Experiments Lain is very nice, it can be very cryptic at times, but as long as you pay attention you should be fine.
A movie I'd recommend is Perfect Blue as it really digs deep into the psyche of the MC as she becomes an idol and realistically avoid certain things that happen in the industry. Directed by Satoshi Kon, if you like this give other things directed by him a chance like Paprika.
As for mangas.
Dead Tube is one that I think you'll like as it is very psychological and does not hold anything back with a lot of intense stuff going on from the very first chapter.
Oyasumi Punpun is one that I highly recommend. It's a masterpiece that will never get an anime adaptation and is very mature in a realistic way and definetly messes with your head. It's one, if not the most depressing thing I've ever read.
Uzumaki is pretty messed up, can't really see spirals the same way because of it and from Junji Ito, you know you're getting something good.
Fire Punch is a good one that started recently too, its pretty tragic as well.
