I would vote that episode, by itself, AOTY 2022. I know it's a popularity contest and all but it actually irks me a bit that 86 lost Crunchyroll anime of the year to Attack on Titan Final Season part 1. I have watched every episode of Attack on Titan when it aired (one of the few shows I follow weekly instead of binging at the end of the season) since season 2 and that show hasn't been anything great for a while. The first half of "The Final Season" was some of the most boring and pointless stuff I've ever watched. I never quit shows and even I was thinking of dropping it. They originally announced that the last season was just going to be what ended up being Part 1 of the season and I was really pissed as it unfolded. I thought it was a going to be a similar situation to how Game of Thrones got completely ruined in the final season. I mean Game of Thrones was trash for several seasons but obviously the final season was even worse then trash. In my opinion the first half of AoT final season was almost that bad. I don't know much about the other nominees except Jujutsu Kaisen. I'd rate 86 as better than Jujutsu Kaisen personally but I would understand if 86 had lost to it. Everyone here seem to be raving about Ranking of Kings and it lost to AoT as well. I don't see how anyone could say the first half of the AoT final season was better than any of these shows. I also don't understand 86 losing to To Your Eternity in the best drama category. I watched To Your Eternity and maybe I just didn't get it but I thought it was kind of dull. It had some good moments for sure but overall it wasn't anything that great. I thought Eternity was pretty good but I'll never rewatch it. I'll definitely rewatch 86 many times. Edit to add:. The second half of AoT has actually been really good and I've definitely been enjoying it. I don't want to sound like I'm trashing the show. I just thought Part 1 of this season was terrible. |

Any recommendations for something kinda creepy or a bit dark? I liked Elfen Lied and Happy Sugar Life, so something along those lines. I'm thinking maybe Higurashi or Future Diary.

I'm thinking maybe Higurashi or Future Diary. View Quote Have you already seen Re:Zero? It's not as dark as Elfen Lied in my opinion, but was darker than most other anime I've seen. I'm still a novice though... As for creepy, I don't know if it counts, but I'm currently watching Blood Blockade Battlefront (another ridiculous title... ), which has lots of cool and creepy monsters in it. It is definitely more of a comedy rather than dark and serious, but the variation of monsters keeps it interesting, for me at least. I haven’t delved into too many of the really dark anime yet, but will be taking notes for future reference. |

I'm thinking maybe Higurashi or Future Diary. View Quote Black Bullet (post-apocalyptic/pandemic) Ergo Proxy (sci-fi/post-apocalyptic/dystopian future) Gunslinger Girl (pretty damn dark for what it is/sci-fi) Goblin Slayer (dark fantasy) Akame ga Kill (fantasy/action) Casshern Sins (post-human/sci-fi) Devilman: Crybaby (title explains itself, but really good) Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate (killing nazis and the undead, Ultimate is accurate to the manga) Samurai Champloo (not too dark, but is a historical take with some hip-hop culture blended in) Coppelion (Post-apocalyptic) Mushishi (some dark elements/supernatural/really calm) Terror in Resonance (terrorism, but makes you sympathize with the terrorists, my current avatar is from it) Parasyte (some pretty nasty looking parasites in this one, good story, sci-fi/monsters) Monster (a really good mystery/drama, but not on any major anime services) Ninja Scroll (the movie is a classic. The series that came later was crap, so avoid at all costs) Black Lagoon (modern day pirates/smugglers, great action) Speed Grapher (dark and gritty/sci-fi and involves some unique super powers) Golden Kamuy (bounces from comedy to the gritty realities of war and ethnic conflict, post Russo-Japanese War, and rather historical) |

Would Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash count as dark?
It definitely had a more somber tone than the standard isekai anime. |

You're all hitting me with some good-sounding recommendations!
Attached File I've seen Bryhyldr in the Darkness (pretty good, but I liked Elfen Lied better). Someone in this thread, a while back, described Happy Sugar Life as the most fucked-up version of wholesomeness; this is a pretty fair description. I'll probably do Serial Experiments Lain, Higurashi, or Golden Kamuy (I didn't have this on my list, but it sounds cool) next. I've been wanting to check out Valkyria Chronicles at some point too (not sure if it really fits my original request, but it sounds cool anyway). Does anyone recommend High-Rise Invasion? |

View Quote It's not like an anime series per se, because each short episode is self-contained, and what passes for animation is more like having crude stick figures occasionally being repositioned on the screen, but... Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories (a.k.a. Theater of Darkness) has some good creepy shorts (but also has a lot of lame "bump in the night, what's that peeking out from the shadows" stuff as well). They have lots of seasons on Crunchyroll - the 'animation' quality, such as it is, improves slightly in the later seasons, but it's still subpar. |
