Looking for Dark/Crazy Animes/Mangas!

Good evening!

I am currently looking for some Animes/Mangas which i didnt watch/read yet.

I am the guy who really likes the Darkish Animes/Mangas who are also really rare. Best example would be Death Note and Code Geass. Both main characters are devilish even tho they want to do the right thing. Both have the same expressions "devilish laughs" etc. Another example is Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu where the main character is at first the "hero" guy but he has a devil power and when he uses it he goes crazy and devilish.

So what i want is:

Protagonist: Dark/Crazy guy(no females) who wants to do good but has to do bad things in order to do the good things. Characters like Hei are also pretty nice.

Gore: Sometimes i like gores but it really depends on the story and such.

Story: I don't really care THAT much as long as i can take the main character serious (no childs) and the background is also darkish like Death Note or DTB.

Mecha: It depends, i like 'some' of the gundam animes but not all of them. Code Geass is also mecha and it was really good.

Cyberpunk: I hate most of them. For example Texhnolyze.

Comedy: I can have some of it but i prefer not much.

Spoiler for :


There are many many more Animes/Mangas but i can't remember those titles atm

Also, i found this thread: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=114187

We both like almost the same things so it could help a bit!

So yeah hope there are some pretty epic recommendations!

Try theTsukihime manga.
For anime, Try Fate Zero or Kara no kyoukai.

Too bad about female character part because Yomi from Ga-Rei Zero would fit nicely.
Another great female character would be Homura from Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. Both series and characters are awesome, you really are restricting yourself.

You can try Aoi Bungaku Series whih are set of mini stories, some could be of your liking.

Baccano! has a lot of psycho characters.

Naru from Ghost Hunt could work.

Hundred Stories, the main guy is not what you want but animation is dark/weird and disturbing just like some episodes so worth a check.

I listed Fate Zero in my spoiler already, its an amazing anime! Also watched Tsukihime and it was good too. There are many Kara no kyoukai movies, do they all have different stories?

I know the Ga-Rei manga and i really liked it! But yeah you are right, i am restricting myself but i don't really want to because i know there are some amazing ones! But most of the time i get bored while watching such Animes/Mangas

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica looks too childish for me. I think i will still try the first episode though.

I already watched Baccano! and it made me really sad that it was over so soon Really great anime!

Gonna try Ghost Hunt, thanks!

Hundred Stories might work

I'm sorry but the Tsukihime anime should not even exist. Try the manga instead because the anime is shallow, hollow and left so many things and unexplainable things.

Some of the kara no kyoukai movies ties to each other. But seriously watch it. Same creator of Fate Zero and Tsukihime and hailed to be one of the best movie series in anime. It's dark and it's gritty. Oh and mahou shojo madoka? Haha, yes you should watch it now too. You'll be surprised.

It doesn't start getting dark until the 3rd episode so I doubt you will like this one. But you should try to stick with it till Episode 3 and you'll be rewarded.This one was written by Gen Urobuchi who also did Fate/Zero which you said you loved. He also did some animes named Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom and Blassreiter. Also, don't know if you have a PC that can play Visual Novels, but his visual novel Saya no Uta is one of the best works in the genre.

Anyways anime:

D. Gray-man
Higurashi no naku koro ni
Mai-Hime
Victory Gundam
Bokurano
Chrono Crusade


Manga:

Shadow Star
Jiraishin
Lone Wolf and Cub
Blade of the Immorta

I personally liked anime prequel for Ga-Rei series more.

Don't let Madoka cover deceive you. This series are anything but childish, especially once you get pass 3rd episodes since that's where things really start to get grim.
A lot of people me included thought it was a children show and then all of us were proven wrong. Characters actually die here and atmosphere is dark.


Hope Ghost Hunt and Hundred stories will be of your liking

Yesterday i watched Ghost Hunt and Kara no Kyoukai until i went to bed. Both are very interesting, definitely a must watch till the end!

Today i will try Madoka Ep. 1-3. I am very curious if it will surprise me

I already watched Rainbow Ep. 1 and at first i didn't like it that much but it seems this anime is also about boxing(martial arts) and i think i will give it a chance.

NHK at first sight doesn't really look like what i am searching for. But i will gather some informations first and then i can say if it worth the shot :P

I watched some episodes from Jormungand because i thought it resembles Black Lagoon or Phantom. But i didn't really gave it a chance yet. But i will!

The manga looks interesting but i am going to stick with the animes first.

Baccano! and Durarara!! were written by the same person. Although I recommend Baccano! over Durarara!! in terms of what you are looking for, both however are quite good.

Yeh, give it a try. The ending of episode 3 was not what I expected and things just started to get grimmer from then on.

Glad you liked Ghost Hunt, it is one of my faves

I actually will second Rainbow series. It is not action heavy though but dark/sad theme wise it's strong.
Mario is a great and inspirational character. Especially towards the end.


Actually I also want to add Shiki to my recommendation list. It has a slow start but series are dark and towards the end it really explodes.
Doctor Ozaki is the kind of character you are looking for.
Real enjoyment starts in second half.
