10 Gore Anime That Will Give You Nightmares

In a western market, you'd probably expect a series set in a high-school to be devoid of gruesome gore, as the image of young teens covered in the crimson liquid is particularly grotesque. However, in the world of anime, it's not just common but somewhat expected, and Another delves into such an idea unapologetically.

The show follows the young Koichi as he joins a new school and finds himself drawn to a mysterious girl named Mei. When enrolling in the new class, he discovers a strange mystery that sees many of the students and those associated with the class dying in grisly, elaborate, senseless ways.

Often, you don't need a distinct and convoluted story to be engaging, you just need a boatload of shocking demises, and that's something that this show delivers by the bucket-load.

Some of the most disturbing deaths include an umbrella to the throat, someone getting caught in a boat propeller, and a particularly haunting scene where a character takes a knife to their neck and sprays the classroom with blood.

That's just touching the surface of this gore anime, and it's safe to say that when you watch it for yourself, you'll see why.
