We watched Ichi the killer, but the movie. Well, that was disturbing enough lol.

Also slowly watching Gankutsou, its interesting but the drawing style sorta makes me a bit dizzy sometimes.

So, any new suggestions?

If you like Gankutsou, read the original novel.

OK, being the resident Monster pimp, I just have to mention it since it actually fits the requirements:

Dark Enviromented - hell, yes.
Male protagonists - yes, male protagonist and male antagonist, too; no cuteness, no fanservice.
Violent but not too violent - alot of people die but the anime doesn't revel in the violence.
More oriented through psycological drama (not a requirement) or a really catchy storyline - what about having both a storyline with a lot of twists and psychological depth of the characters?

Also, you may try Speed Grapher.

MONSTER

if you have'nt watched this then you're missing out my friend

GreatTeacherKen · 2007-12-23, 15:13

how about Now and Then, Here and There?

The artwork may look kiddy and the first episode may give off that impression, but the show overall definitely is not. I mean it deals with child soldiers and other mature issues like rape, war, etc. so it's not exactly going to be very pleasant viewing. And it has a rather gritty setting, a harsh desert ruled by a maniacal tyrant.

It's also a very emotionally powerful show. I don't know if I'd say it's a psychological show, but nonetheless it is very dramatic and well-paced. Violence? It's a bit brutal at times, but it's not particularly graphic, but it is very effectively used to enhance the story as opposed to being violent for the sake of being violent.

Great soundtrack too.

Ok, we watched Monster and OMFG it was SO damn GOOD. Will be hard to find something that can come close to it..

Just wanted to say this, ichi the killer movie is <3. Just brought it on DVD a few weeks ago. Shame the anime was not as good.

In terms of other dark anime...... seems you have watched most of the ones i have liked.

Perhaps Mnemosyne (a little adult mind you)

Arngrin · 2009-01-12, 14:50

Oh, we forgot to put that on the list.. but we also already watched that haha ^^

f4nt4 · 2009-01-12, 15:10

hmm... it seems your list already full of those that i want to suggest, but probably Skullman and Desert Punk will meet your criteria. Both are quite dark and violent.

Arngrin · 2009-01-21, 20:19

OK!

So, we finished Now and Then, Here and There.

It was ok.. but.. not enough pixel violence :P.

All the themes are shown in a very.. "unrelated" way. And with a villain like Hamdo, it's hard to take it seriously.
Anyways, we got Wolf's Rain and we're loving it. It's gonna be over soon tho!

MOAR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!

Arngrin · 2009-07-03, 12:36

I'm back! And the list got updated. Finished watching Eden of the East, was quite nice!

More suggestions please! The criteria are in the first page!

Shadow Kira01 · 2009-07-03, 13:53

Watch these!

Kara no Kyoukai
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~
Shikabane Hime
Umineko no Naku Koro ni

signorRossi · 2009-07-03, 14:38

Shigurui definitely is violent with plenty of 'pixel violence'. Don't forget to have a puke bag nearby.

You sure are quite the excited child. And "We", twins?

Try:

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal just the movie...not the series.

Arngrin · 2009-07-04, 05:33

we (my girlfriend and I) and i'm not an excited kid i'm an excited adult. I'm 28 ^^

We already watched Shigurui & Trust / Betrayal. They were both decent.
