Anime Recommendations

[Atsushi sheep]

Can anyone recommend animes like nge, magica madoka and when they cry?
 

[Expendable]

For mecha animes, I can suggest The Big O, Godzilla Singular Point



For magica madoka and when they cry, try School-Live! or The Promised Neverland. Maybe Hellgirl.

Depends on your access to older titles.

Tokyo Ghoul/Tokyo Ghoul √A/Tokyo Ghoul Re S 1 & 2

A sinister threat is invading Tokyo: flesh-eating "ghouls" who appear identical to humans and blend into their population. Reserved college student Ken Kaneki buries his nose in books and avoids the news of the growing crisis. However, the appearance of an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro shatters his solitude when she forwardly asks him on a date.

While walking Rize home, Kaneki discovers she isn't as kind as she first appeared, and she has led him on with sinister intent. After a tragic struggle, he later awakens in a hospital to learn his life was saved by transplanting the now deceased Rize's organs into his own body.

Kaneki's body begins to change in horrifying ways, and he transforms into a human-ghoul hybrid. As he embarks on his new dreadful journey, Kaneki clings to his humanity in the evolving bloody conflict between society's new monsters and the government agents who hunt them.

Blood +/Blood C

Saya Otonashi is a seemingly ordinary girl living a mundane life with her adoptive family in Okinawa City. In fact, her only peculiarities are suffering from anemia and being unable to remember any of her life beyond the previous year.

However, Saya's forgotten past quickly comes back to haunt her—one night, she is attacked at school by a creature that feeds on human blood. Just when all hope seems lost, a mysterious man named Haji appears and fends off the creature temporarily. But when her rescuer forces her to drink his blood, Saya suddenly enters a trance and slays the monster with ease, using her own blood as a catalyst.

Saya then learns of an organization named Red Shield, founded for the sole purpose of defeating the hellish beasts. Now Saya and Haji must work together with Red Shield to fight these fearsome monsters and unlock the secrets to the girl's past.


Ajin/Ajin 2

Mysterious immortal humans known as "Ajin" first appeared 17 years ago in Africa. Upon their discovery, they were labeled as a threat to mankind, as they might use their powers for evil and were incapable of being destroyed. Since then, whenever an Ajin is found within society, they are to be arrested and taken into custody immediately.

Studying hard to become a doctor, Kei Nagai is a high schooler who knows very little about Ajin, only having seen them appear in the news every now and then. Students are taught that these creatures are not considered to be human, but Kei doesn't pay much attention in class. As a result, his perilously little grasp on this subject proves to be completely irrelevant when he survives an accident that was supposed to claim his life, signaling his rebirth as an Ajin and the start of his days of torment. However, as he finds himself alone on the run from the entire world, Kei soon realizes that more of his species may be a lot closer than he thinks.


Corpse Party

Nine students gather in their high school at night to bid farewell to a friend. As is customary among many high school students, they perform a sort of ritual for them to remain friends forever, using small paper charms shaped like dolls.

However, the students do not realize that these charms are connected to Heavenly Host Academy—an elementary school that was destroyed years ago after a series of gruesome murders took place, a school that rests under the foundation of their very own Kisaragi Academy. Now, trapped in an alternate dimension with vengeful ghosts of the past, the students must work together to escape—or join the spirits of the damned forever.

A feast for mystery fanatics, gore-hounds, and horror fans alike, Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou shows a sobering look at redemption, sacrifice, and how the past is always right behind, sometimes a little too close for comfort.

Elfen Lied

Lucy is a special breed of human referred to as "Diclonius," born with a short pair of horns and invisible telekinetic hands that lands her as a victim of inhumane scientific experimentation by the government. However, once circumstances present her an opportunity to escape, Lucy, corrupted by the confinement and torture, unleashes a torrent of bloodshed as she escapes her captors.

During her breakout, she receives a crippling head injury that leaves her with a split personality: someone with the mentality of a harmless child possessing limited speech capacity. In this state of instability, she stumbles upon two college students, Kouta and his cousin Yuka, who unknowingly take an injured fugitive into their care, unaware of her murderous tendencies. This act of kindness will change their lives, as they soon find themselves dragged into the shadowy world of government secrecy and conspiracy.

Can anyone recommend me a good horror anime? I'd really appreciate it!

The Promised Neverland is quite the psychological horror. These children with large numbers tattooed on their necks believe they're in an orphanage, waiting to be adopted. But it's not an orphanage - it's a farm. And they're on the menu.

Jigoku Shoujo: Hell Girl - older horror anime. If you've been wronged and you desire revenge, there is a website that's only open at midnight. Enter in the name of the one you seek revenge on, and you may meet the Hell Girl, who will drag your tormenter off to hell. Of course, there is a small catch....




Another: older horror anime. In Class 3-3, when Misaki, a popular honor student unexpectedly died, her classmates decided to keep on as if she was still alive, her desk left in its place in the classroom and even brought to the graduation ceremony. What nobody can explain is how Misaki, their dead classmate, long buried, appears in the Class graduation photo.

Decades later, a transfer student joins the current Class 3-3, but right away he can tell something is wrong with this class, especially how they all ignore this girl sitting alone in the back of the classroom. A girl named Misaki....

This one gets bloody.

Black Butler: After a fire gutted the Phantomhive manor, the young master Ciel unexpectedly reappears in the company of Sebastian, a butler of incredible skill and loyalty, who takes over the running of the Phantomhive estate. But there's more to Ciel and Sebastian than meets the eye.

Deadman Wonderland is an unusual prison set up like a theme park, where visitors can watch as prisoners participate in deadly events. Igarashi Ganta's class was planning a trip there when they were all killed - all except Ganta, who is charged and sentenced to Deadman Wonderland for killing his classmates despite protesting his innocence. But there's far more to Deadman Wonderland than the tourists ever see.

Paranoia Agent - after a designer is attacked in a car park by an elementary student on inline skates sporting a bent golden baseball bat, Lil' Slugger starts appearing all over town, leaving his bloody mark on the city. Yet the police can't seem to find him... This one gets bloody too.

Wow, I'm spoiled for choice! Thank you Ex!

[Expendable]

There's a lot of horror or at least supernatural anime out there, so a lot of choices. Here is some lighter choices:

Xxxholic

Watanuki can see the spirits everywhere he goes. And they can see him too - giving chase, sometimes piling on. But then one day he stumbles on a very unusual shop. Yūko sells wishes - and she can arrange for Watanuki to be left alone by the spirits, but he would need to become Yūko's personal servant - temporarily, of course.

Of course, it also means learning far more about the spirit world than he ever knew.

This one is very episodic, rather than one long plot. It's also an older series.



Bleach

High School student Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see spirits, those who stayed behind. However, they can be preyed upon by Hollows, former spirits who hunger. Thus, Ichigo runs into Rukia, a Soul Reaper whose job is to collect these wayward spirits and protect spirits and the living from the Hollows - and one is after Ichigo. But in order for him to face it, he will have to become a Soul Reaper himself.




You'll see a lot of black butterflies in both series. They represent souls in transition, leaving this world and heading to the next.

Xxxholic's opening seems quite funky. I like it!
