These scary and disturbing anime They have different shades to suit all tastes, but if you think we missed any, you can leave it in the comments.
yamishibai
This work directed by Tomoya Takashimapresents a very peculiar animation style that resembles the kamishibaia Japanese method of telling stories that would be translated as “paper theater”.
In each chapter there is a man who tells children scary stories inspired by Japanese folklore, but believe me, they are not suitable for them.
Each episode featured a different legend, animated in a way that could easily make you shiver, and even cover your eyes to avoid being startled.
In total, seven seasons were released, and if you want to see them all, we recommend that you do it with the lights off and after midnight to set the mood.
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
This anime, currently available on Funimationwas considered the number 1 horror work for the Japanese in 2021, and it is not for less, since the story is disturbing.
His story takes place in June 1983, when Maebara Keichi and his family move to Hinamizawa. Everything seems calm in his life, until something terrifying escapes from the forest.
During the local festival, Keiichi finds out that four years ago a person died and another disappeared on the same date, since this event unleashed the curse of the god Oyashiro-sama. From this moment on, his friends, his family and his world will turn against him to the last consequences.
