Babylon
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Airing in the fall of 2019, this TV anime is based on the novel series of the same name by Dr. Nozaki Mado.
It is a suspense anime featuring Zen Seizaki, a prosecutor in the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Investigations Department, and the story of how he and his friends investigate the mystery of a woman, Magase Ai, who is involved in countless suspicious suicides.
The gory element of this work is the seventh episode, where Kyokuse’s “ability to make people choose to commit suicide” decimates the members of the investigation team.
Good’s companion, who had been a main character up until that point, dies of her own accord, and Sekuro Hisa is captured by Kyokuse.
When Zen opens the URL in the email she sent him, he finds Kyokuse and Yoma in captivity.
Kyokuse raises his axe and cuts off Yoma’s limbs, then kills him.
It’s one of the most gruesome scenes in the history of anime, as the protagonist watches, and his fellow young woman, a main class character, is shockingly killed in a shocking way.
The description itself isn’t shown, but it’s a psychologically too hard episode.
Degree of brutality：★☆★☆★☆
CHAOS;CHILD
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This is the fourth installment in the Science Adventure Series, following the adventure games CHAOS;HEAD, STEINS;GATE, and ROBOTICS;NOTES.
The anime aired in the winter of 2017.
The Science Adventure Series is not a basic horror series, but it does have a few gory scenes thrown in at the drop of a hat.
This film is one of the most egregious scenes in the series.
The same thing happens in the anime, especially the incident where the main character’s best friend Itou kills his sister-in-law Yui, which was very shocking.
Degree of brutality：★☆★☆★☆★
メイドインアビス
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The anime based on the manga aired in the summer of 2017.
It is the story of Riko, an apprentice grotto girl who is an apprentice explorer who aims to go to the deepest levels of a vertical hole called “Abyss”, and Reg, a robot boy.
Although the story is heartwarming in design, the setting and style of the work is sometimes dark, and it is sometimes depicted in a grimy manner as the girl is driven into a severe situation due to the “Curse of the Abyss”, an upward load that affects the human body more and more as one goes deeper into the depths.
Things like Mehta’s miserable appearance as a result of the experiment were pretty mentally gruesome.
Degree of brutality：★☆★☆
Magical Girl Raising Project
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is an anime based on a novel that aired in the fall of 2016.
It is a battle royale in which girls who have become magical girls fight for their survival.
Despite the cute character design that seems to be typical of a magical girl anime, the battles are quite brutal and the girls kill each other, and many of the defeated magical girls actually die.
There is a death scene with physical damage and the gap between the picture and the scene is quite gruesome.
Degree of brutality：★☆★
Occultic Nine
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is based on a landmark novel created by Chiyomaru Shikura, the president of MAGES. and creator of Stages.
The anime aired in the fall of 2016.
It is a science fiction story in which the administrator of a summary blog,Yuta Gamon, gets caught up in a murder case after an encounter with a high school girl fortune teller,Ryoka Narusawa, and is gradually swallowed up by an occult phenomenon.
Since the theme of the story is occult, there are quite a few scenes that have a horror taste, but there are not too many gory scenes.
Degree of brutality：★☆
Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This landmark anime aired from spring to summer 2016 and was extremely popular, and a second season is in the works.
Because the main character, Natsuki Subaru, has the ability to rewind time by dying, called “reverting to death”, there are quite a few death scenes of him, and in some cases, his head is torn off or his body is cut in half.
Also, due to the fact that time can be rewound, there are many scenes where the main characters including the heroine Rem and other main characters die, and in some cases, they die tragically, so it is a pretty gruesome anime despite the impression it gives from the design.
However, since it can be redone, it is not too gruesome to be detracted from.
Degree of brutality：★☆★
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This popular original anime aired in the spring of 2016 and was later made into a movie version.
It is a steampunk and period action series about a 17-year-old boy, Ikoma, and a 12-year-old girl, Mumei, fighting a monster, Kabane.
There are some scenes where humans are grievously injured and their bodies are damaged, but the frequency is low.
As for the gory elements, there are more scenes of Kabane’s body scattering, but it doesn’t feel that gross.
Degree of brutality：★☆
