Posing as a Catholic priest, Donato opened his own orphanage where he reviled in torturing and eating the "adopted" children and feeding them to his other wards without their knowledge.

I think that that you meant revelled, not reviled.

Count me as an outlier, but I didn't find that Pierrot episode scary at all - that was just plain weird compared to the rest of the series Confused

I love that it was inspired by Batman: The Animated Series. It does a great job with the style, and I think even the music was similar. Talking about B:TAS, Harley Quinn is the best animated villain with a clown theme. She's actually funny!
I strongly feel that last week's poll should have been split into anime original series and series based on source material. There is a huge difference between asking for a sequel to a series that has more material to cover, and one which would be all new material.
Wish we could vote for more than one option in this week's poll. Why can't I hang out with Pinako Rockbell from FMA *and* the awesome granny from Summer Wars?

I don't know why so many people are terrified of clowns sure some clowns have been featured in horror movies but those are more the accept-in than the rule. So just like with Buggy I find clowns humorous rather than scary. Laughing
You can dress up as a disturbingly realistic zombie, but people only give you odd looks if you're out of context. But put on some white facepaint and a fake nose and suddenly you're terrifying no matter where you are.

Really, I can understand not being able to get over the fact that somebody watched It in front of you when you were a kid, but don't try and paint yourself as the majority. Most of the country knows it's just a guy in makeup.

Clowns in anime aren't scary to me.

The "Yu-Gi-Oh!" monster card called "Saggi the Dark Clown" is quite ugly.
