Dark Anime

Aoi Bungaku 青い文学シリーズ

2010-01-22T12:37:00.000-08:00

An adaptation of six Japanese literary works by famous authors:
No Longer Human (Ningen Shikaku) and Run, Melos! (Hashire, Melos) by Osamu Dazai, Kokoro by Natsume Souseki, Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen), The Spider's Thread (Kumo no Ito) by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita) by Ango Sakaguchi.

Manga artists Takeshi Obata (Death Note), Takeshi Konomi (Prince of Tennis), and Tite Kubo (Bleach) will be involved with the production. (MAL)I was impressed by this anime there was such a mixture of art styles and story lines. Must of the stories have a dark nature, but since there was a lot of writers and artists involved in this series, we get a variety of genres.There is a total of 12 episodes, containing 6 stories. the first story is the longest stretching 4 episodes, and will be made into a full feature movie later this year. I do think this anime is worth watching because there is a something for everyone.

Dance in the Vampire Bund ダンスインザヴァンパイアバンド

2010-01-09T08:48:00.000-08:00

The story revolves around Mina Tepes, princess-ruler of all vampires, and her "protector," Akira. Like other vampires, Mina has been in hiding with her people for many years. Seeking to end centuries of isolation, Mina gains permission to create a special district for vampires, "The Bund", off the coast of Japan by paying off the national debt of the Japanese government. Mina then reveals to the world the existence of vampires and her desire for both races to live together. Tensions, however, run high as fearful humans and extremist vampire factions begin to interfere with Mina's wish for peace with the human world. (Wikipedia)Now if the anime follows the manga then we can expect a good anime packed full of blood, gore and lots of action, i don't know if you have noticed but the cute girl is the vampire queen Mina Tepes and the guy above is her bodyguard Akira which she loves and makes dam sure that everyone including him knows it. The first episode didn't follow the manga, but if it did there wouldn't be any surprise left for us who have read the manga. There is only 12 eposides in the season, but i believe they will make another in the futureDownload or stream

Ōkami Kakushi おおかみかくし

2010-01-08T09:28:00.000-08:00

A 16 year old boy, Hiroshi Kuzumi, has recently moved into a new town in the mountains. The town is separated into new and old streets by the river, and many mysterious local cultures still remain. Although confused and enjoying his new life, one person kept her distance from him: class committee member Kushinada Nemura. In their few encounters she gave him a word of advice: "Stay away from the old streets. (Wikipedia)This anime follows the same narrative structure as Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which involves a conspiracy in the small town of Jogamachi. Now i haven't read the manga so I only own as much as everyone else, I also don't know how many episodes there will be, but as soon as they air and are subbed i will put them up.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni うみねこのなく頃に

2009-12-31T05:47:00.000-08:00

Umineko no Naku Koro ni takes place primarily in the year 1986, during the time frame of October 4 and October 5 on a small, secluded island named Rokkenjima (六軒島) 10 km around owned and lived on by Kinzo, the head of the wealthy Ushiromiya family. Kinzo is near death, and eight of his family members arrive on the island for the annual family conference, where the adults plan to discuss how Kinzo's assets will be divided once he is dead. Also on the island are three family members who live there, five of Kinzo's servants, and his personal physician. After the eight family members arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island, and shortly after, strange things start to happen and people start dying. (Wikipedia)
Umineko no Naku Koro ni is made by the same 07th Expansion but not a sequel to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni in fact it has nothing to do with the anime. But just like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni the anime is spilt into arcs or episodes where time has reset but in this case, only the game starts over and the players remain unaffected, the game includes two main players, the main protagonist Battler Ushiromiya is to deny the existence of magic and witches and the other player is the golden witch Beatrice she has to prove the existence of magic though the murders of the Ushiromiya household. This manga gives us a second season so it won't be long before a sequel to the anime is put into production. The anime is confusing at first, but it is a mystery anime and not all answers are giving to us, so there is lots to look forward to in the future.

Black Rock Shooter anime coming soon!!

2009-11-23T19:43:00.000-08:00

I don't think i need to tell you, but the Black Rock Shooter anime is coming in spring 2010. Well, personal opinions aside, oh fuck it, i love the Black Rock Shooter, the character design that is. I can't wait for an anime. For those who don't know the Black Rock Shooter was created by Huke and is the alter ego of Hatsune Miku a character for Volaloid software and serves them as a virtual idol to promote their voice synthesising thingy.The only information i have about the anime is the stuff i have read, well i do know that the anime doesn't invovle Hatsune Miku, but will be voiced by her i guess. There was a 90 second trailer released, so i nicked it of Youtube. (see below)

I do think this anime will be a big success, or so i hope.

Dogs: Bullets & Carnage

2009-11-23T17:29:00.000-08:00

It is sometime in the future, where a certain European city extends far underground, even secret, dark levels that have the key to the past. Ex-assassin Mihai has returned and is living with Kiri, who now runs a restaurant. Sword-wielding Naoto, Haine (white hair), a mysterious product of genetic engineering and his sometime partner Badou (eyepatch), not to mention the scary but cute twins Luki and Noki, hang around plying their dangerous, and often deadly trades. (ANN)

Dogs is a four part OVA series, that consists of separate stories within an episode relating to a different character, the different stories do merge and the protagonists of the stories meet. These OVAs are an adaption of the prequel manga series. Each character's story is like the beginning of there reputation which is seen in the manga.

I really like the OVAs, but i don't like how they are only 4, I believe that a series such as Dogs needs a full TV adaption, the anime kind of leaves you wanting more. And to top it all off every episode is only 15 minutes long which doesn't leave much left, specially since they have put more than one story into a episode....I want more.

Vampire Knight ヴァンパイア騎士

2009-11-08T09:32:00.000-08:00

Yuki Cross's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by an evil vampire and was saved by a kind one, Kaname Clan. Yuki is the adopted daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, who is an ex-vampire hunter that now wishes for vampires and humans to live alongside peacefully. She has grown up and become a prefect for the school which has one main purpose: for vampires to coexist peacefully with humans. Her fellow guardian and childhood companion, Zero Kiryu, whose parents were killed by a pure-blood vampire, is now determined to kill them all and refuses to trust them. Zero himself is now manifesting vampire traits, having been turned into a vampire after he was bitten by the vampire who attacked his family, Shizuka Hiou, four years earlier. (Wikipedia)Vampire Knight has 26 episodes which are compiled into 2 seasons the second titled Guilty. For most of the anime the setting is a school, for vampires known as night class and humans known as day class. Now the so-called normal students are unaware that the night class is composed of vampires. The main protaganists Zero and Yuki are the guardians which keep the day and night class separate. The anime has more than one story, which leads to the second season.There is so much in this anime including the Horror aspect there is romance and humour. I think this anime has something for everyone, and therefore can satisfy a lot of audiences. There is a lot of twists in this anime, which kind of leads you astray from the main narrative. The second season i believe ends with the suggestion.

Serial Experiments Lain

2009-09-27T09:05:00.001-07:00

Serial Experiments Lain deals directly with the definition of reality, which makes its complex plot difficult to summarize. The story is primarily based on the assumption that everything flows from human thought, memory, and consciousness. Therefore, events on screen can be considered hallucinations of Lain, of other protagonists, or of Lain fabricating the hallucinations of others. Story misdirection is central to the plotline; even the off-screen voices or narrations' information cannot be considered truthful. The series consists of a cross-reflection of philosophical themes instead of the traditional linear events depiction: episodes are called "layers". (Wikipedia)

OK, Serial Experiments Lain is another short anime, only containing 13 episodes, but in this case it is enough as if there was any more your brain would explode due to the over confusing plot. Lain the main character as the title suggests, starts life in the anime as a so-called normal school girl quit childish technophobe with few no friends, but starting with a suicide of a classmate and the talk of the wired, starts lain into acquiring technology and basically going overboard with accessories, this allows her mind to wander a virtual world as her body is left behind. How because the plot is so confusing even if I try to explain it you wouldn’t understand, you have to watch it to understand and even then you might not.

I do like this anime, or I wouldn’t be recommending it, because of it’s so hard to understand plot gives it an attraction and allows your mind to wander. I do like the ending it is uplifting and a bit sad. The first time I decided to watch this anime I stopped about five minutes into it. I came back to it and enjoyed it, to finish, this anime is a love it, or hate it situation.

Elfen Lied エルフェンリート

2009-09-26T08:50:00.000-07:00

Elfen Lied revolves around the interactions, views, emotions, and discrimination between humans and the Diclonius, a mutant species similar to humans in build but distinguishable by two horns on their head and "vectors", transparent telekinetic-ally controlled arms that have the power to manipulate and cut objects within their reach. The series is centered around the teenage Diclonius girl "Lucy" who was rejected by humans and subsequently wreaks a murderous vengeance upon them. (Wikipedia)

Elfen Lied has 13 episodes and a OVA, not long enough in my opinion, the first few episodes follow Lucy's escape from a research centre on a island near Japan and her interactions with other characters, where she learns they have a past filled with bloodshed, which she is the main cause. Lucy has two personalities which are total opposites, Lucy which is quick tempered, cold and will murder you if you so much as look at her funny and the other "Nyu" which doesn't speak, well like a pokemon she seems to only be able to say her name, well she seems kind and caring. Other Diclonius are sent after her to bring her back, one of which is Nana who plays a big part in this anime. Most of the episodes are flashbacks into the past of the main characters and we then learn about how the characters are connected, and it also explains Lucy's coldness towards humans, but she softens up as the series progresses.Another of my all time favourites with plenty of blood and guts, also some nudity, but its OK as they've Incorporated it to show Nyu's innocence and how humans have treated them as animals. It is a very serious anime and doesn't have much humor. There are a few bad things about Elfen Lied including its confusing but sad ending and how there's no fricking sequel.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ひぐらしのなく頃に

2009-09-25T10:23:00.000-07:00

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa (雛見沢) The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryuugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed. (Wikipedia)

The anime is split into three seasons, the first which is 26 episodes, the second (Kai) which is 24 episodes long and the third (Rei) is a collection of 5 OVAs which unlike the the first two seasons follows a different storyline The first and last OVAs takes advantage of the characters weird personalities and draw on that for humor, the three middle OVAs follow a more darker plot simular to that of the first two seasons. The plot of the first and second season like the OVAs are split into subchapters following the main storyline with different outcomes and focusing on different characters.

Well personally I love this anime, well from what you can see above it's pretty gory, but it does have a good plot. The first season doesn't give away that much information into the strange happenings, and it is confusing at first. As I've said before the whole anime is spilt into sequences or arcs, there time starts over and something different happens and we learn more about each character and gradualy the gaps are filled. There are funny moments, but since this anime is trying to be sinster theres not much of it. Overall the only bad thing about this anime is the live action films they made afterwards.
