Hell girl
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The original anime aired for three seasons from 2005 to 2009, and a fourth season was made in 2017, a long time coming.
It is an omnibus episode about people who write the name of the person they want to drop into hell on the website “Jigoku Tsushin” and ask the hell girl,Ai Enma, for help.
There is very little visual grossness, but mainly mental grossness, such as the malevolence that humans have.
It is an anime that some people find not so gross.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is an OVA series based on a light novel and was released between 2005 and 2007.
It is an extremely rare gag anime in the grotesque genre.
The process of the angel skull-chan beating the main character, Kusakabe Sakura, to death with the bludgeoning bat “Escaliborg” and then restoring her with a resurrection spell is depicted in a grotesque way.
Even though it is grotesque, it is only visually grotesque and there is no brutality in it.
In a sense, it could be considered as an introductory work to the grotesque.
The director of this work is Tsutomu Mizushima, who also directed “Another” and “BLOOD-C”.
While he is known for his bright works such as “Ika Musume” and “Galpin”, he has also worked on many gory anime.
Degree of brutality：★
Elfen Lied
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is an anime adaptation of a manga of the same name that was serialized in Young Jump.
It was broadcast on CS in the summer of 2004 and on terrestrial wave in the spring of 2015.
It is a masterpiece and a lost work that is always mentioned together with “BLOOD-C” in the grotesque anime feature.
From the first episode, the secretary of the dodgy girl is beheaded, and after that, there are several scenes in which a cute girl dies in a tragic way, and it is a shocking anime in which the characters who have the furthest connection with gory things are the targets.
As expected, much of the brutality is regulated on terrestrial television.

GANTZ
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is an anime adaptation of a popular manga that was serialized in Young Jump.
It was made into a TV anime in 2004, and later became a full 3DCG anime movie under the title GANTZ:O.
The attacks of the enemy aliens are fierce, and although the protagonists fight in suits of armor, they are destroyed if they are attacked beyond a certain point, and if they are unprotected, their bodies are destroyed with a single blow.
For this reason, even the main characters often die in a brutal manner, and the gory descriptions are also noticeable.
GANTZ:O is not as gory as the original.

HELLSING
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is an anime of the manga of the same name that was serialized in Young King Hours.
It was produced as a TV anime from 2001 to 2002 and an OVA series from 2006 to 2012.
It is an OVA series that has a harsh grotesque portrayal, and the battle scenes are so thorough that they almost have a grotesque portrayal.
It is like a splatter movie and the gory details are mainly like a splatter movie, and some people watched it for that reason.
However, it is not only the gory details that make it stand out, as it is also highly rated as a work of art and has a parade of great characters, great quotes and great scenes.

Berserk
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The anime is based on a popular manga serialized in Young Animal.
The first anime adaptation was titled “Kenkaze Denki Berserk” and aired in 1997, followed by a theatrical anime, and then a new one was made from summer 2016 to spring 2017, mainly in 3DCG.
The work depicts a realistic depiction of war between humans, so physical damage can be seen throughout the scenes of killing the enemy.
The mentally grueling scene is the last scene of the Golden Age Arc, where many of the main characters meet a horrible end.
Degree of brutality：★☆★☆★
Evangelion series
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It is a mega-hit series that has been broadcast since 1995 and continues to this day.
A new Shin Evangelion movie, Shin Evangelion the MovieⅡ, is scheduled to be released in June 2020.
Particularly gruesome is “THE END OF EVANGELION: THE END OF EVANGELION: Air/Magokoro wo Kimi ni,” which is said to be particularly gruesome.
The scene in which Niboki turns into a tragic figure has traumatized many viewers.

Summary
It was shocking to see episode 7 of “Babylon” aired at a time when regulations were getting stricter and stranger and stranger depictions were becoming more and more difficult to depict.
The response was quite large, and I felt again the high demand for the depiction of the bizarre.
It seems that this genre will continue to develop in the future.
