But then again, it probabbly isn't illegal for me to, completely without suggesting any course of action which might lead to breaking of the law, mention the existance of other means of getting anime, such as EDonkey or Kazaa Lite.
Not that I'm suggesting you should use either. I mean, I'm not. I sure as hell don't have both installed right now. |

I'd agree with the earlier recommendation of Perfect Blue... I know a lot of people who really didn't like it, but I loved it, thought it was excellent. Very much what David Lynch might make if he got into anime

Narutaru
Just one comment on the Narutaru's suggestion as a dark anime... well, there's no doubt that this isn't the thing that I would expect to find at "Kid's Station", it has some really dark scenes (if they only showed it throughly), but the problem with this anime and the reason why I won't recommend anyone to watch it is that THERE IS NO STORY! None of the 13 episodes make sense in the end... maybe just the last two.... but those don't hold any relation with the previous eleven... of course the characters are the same, but no one can figure out anything about how they are going to act... I was more pissed about Sakura and what she does in the end... WHO IN THE WORLD SAW THAT ONE COMING... or those episodes where the story is all about making a point just like the one they go fishing... what a pointless point... it didn't really reflect in anything later on... that anime reminds me of a bad acid trip... there is nothing in conection with anything and in the end... you will just regret they time of your life that you lost seeing that useless and pointless anime. You have been warned DONT WATCH IT!!!!

kousetsu_hyaku_monogatari
I really recommend (after seeing till the 7th episode) kousetsu hyaku monogatari aka Hundred Stories... it is a really twisted terror anime with tons of weird stories and the best part is that this anime tells a lot about japanese folklore and their horror tales .... it is really something no one should skip...
Obs. I just resented a little the fact that there is a gang of three undead in this anime and even though I like these characters a little, I think the story should be more focused on the writer (main character) instead of leaving the gang to solve the mess in the end of each episode... the result is that this anime looses some of it's natural creepness... the writer character is really nice and I love when he is listening to a new kadai he just found out... that's the best part of this anime! |

Violence, SEX and Wolf's Rain
Quote:
I don't think Wolf's Rain is anything close to dark and it tends to be something more like a fairy tale instead of facing any questions or problems more complicated than that. The only thing dark is the setting (post apocalyptic future). But the script is all childish and lame really...they always come up with softer and milder ways of describing the actuall things that might be happening, not to offend or pervert the little children that might be watching... As for the violence note... well, violence might be just a way to measure how much of the story is being told, just like sex and the materialistic interests behing it all. I most animes I saw the "evil character" is someone that just woke up one day and decided to be a bad person...and nothing more to it. In other words, violence is just one of the most common elements you would find in any story, so it is a little strange not to see any and a little boring when it is always concealed or sugar coated. If you want to tell a story, just tell it! Don't make lame allusions to what is really happening. SEX for instance... tens of millions of people are doing it right now and why is it that sex is only shown in hentai anime or labeled like that? It is so common in any ones life! Cowboy Bebop, for instance, when Faye was pursuing someone, she found him in bed with another guy. That's something that can happen but it is more usual to anime scripts to show perfectly decent people just brushing their teeths when their doors is broken down. I don't take more than 15 minutes a day brushing my teeth, what are the odds? Last edited by gho; 2004-01-04 at 13:20. |

I think there's more meaning to it that you might see on the surface...i.e. the individual's quest to belong and yet maintain individuality, overcoming adversity and deciding when it'll overcome you...etc. Quote:

I mean, if it's a part of the story, that's all well and good...but I've seen some anime where people are constantly gushing blood and losing body-parts and heros and heroines are constantly doing things no "good person" would ever do to another living being. Flamethrowers and woodchippers and eaten-by-bugs, oh my. Quote:

Gilgamesh is alright, not the greatest, but interesting.... I do have to agree with slc about it being a darker version of e's otherwise.... you know, with the powers and the teleporting........ but it's still kinda weird and dark.........
100 stories is another good dark anime in my imo........
