I'm going to come out and say it to everyone,including Miss Loveridge. I'm not a horror fan. I don't like the blood and gore. It's stuff I really don't want to sit though and it's not really my thing. To be honest,stuff like "Scooby-Doo" are the closest things to horror I can reasonably stand although I do remember seeing a movie called "Saturday the 14th." when I was younger but stuff like the "Saw" films? No way. I'd avoid that stuff like the plague. Sorry,Ms. Loveridge. If you're going to binge watch a bunch of horror stuff,then count me out. It's nothing I want to put myself through.
But,if you guys want a horror anime,might I suggest "Little Pet Shop of Horrors?" It's about a detective who tries to solve a series of mysterious deaths that are all linked to a strange pet shop in L.A.'s Chinatown. For me,I rather watch stuff like "Soul Eater." That's more my speed,I think. |

Hell Girl didn't feel like "horror", more like what passed for horror in the 00's, where we just cathartically watch Nasty People mechanically being offed for being social symbols of greediness and self-centeredness.
Yamishibai has some great "ghost-story" creepiness to it, when it's not getting too wrapped up in its own "ambiguous" endings to slam "The End" down before we know what the heck we were just scared by. (One more reason to pretend S4 never happened, as S5 was glad to do.) The spartan quality of the animation actually gives it more of a "nightmare" quality, since our own dreams are spare and low-budget, and go wrong quickly before we're prepared for it. |

It’s currently available for legal streaming on Crunchyroll in the US, at least. Don’t know if you live there based on your comment, but just wanted to let others who didn’t know about it know now. |

Nice to see Shiki and Hellsing Ultimate as picks. I recommended both to a friend who is into vampire lore, basically as two very different takes, and he ended up liking both a lot.

Didn't care for Blood-C, but Blood + is on my all-time favorite series list and probably at least deserved a mention.
Meh. Like any sub-genre, it has its good titles and bad. Some are enjoyable, some less so. This year gave us Yujo Senki (IMHO, one of the best) and Isekai Smartphone (one of the worst), so in the long run it evens out. When they stop being popular, they'll move on to something else. But so long as the format is popular, they'll continue to capitalize on it. Which is fine with me. |

Some pretty good stuff on the list.
Reminds me of what a shame it was that the anime adaptation of Pupa was so badly adapted, though. The manga was interesting though flawed, while the anime hardly showed any of the source's merits. I think the biggest problem was that the premise was just inherently incompatible with such short episodes. I like plenty of short form comedy and iyashikei shows but I don't think it suited the world-building/atmospheric/suspense elements of Pupa. There just wasn't enough time to show rather than tell. |

Pretty sure that most (if not all) of those don't fit the requirement of "you can stream". |

Pleasantly surprised Tokyo Ghoul wasn't mentioned in the article or the forum! It gives me a strange satisfaction that Parasyte beat it as body horror in a way.
Shiki is a fantastic show. Vampires are such a fun monster to play around with, there are so many different types of vampires in anime and manga. You got your Twilight-esque romances (Vampire Knight), your existential dread of the immortal, and my favorite, the vampire comedy with a twist (Karin/Chibi Vampire). |

Blood C is available on Viewster. Blood + was on Viewster up until a few weeks ago, but now it seems to have disappeared. |

LOL Okay, who put "Giant Gila Monster" on the new poll?
MY all-time favorite horror anime is The DevilLady. When They Cry just makes me mad(as do all child endangerment shows/movies). From the List, Parasyte is my favorite horror anime. "I sing whenever I sing, whenever I sing..." |

Parasyte WAS pretty cool until it turned into pretentiously preachy garbage.
Isekai shows can be fun, like MOE shows, but they need to be well made.... like anything else, really, and they suffer more if they're not. Same with booby/fanservice shows. People are generally more forgiving with bad shows if they feel they aren't being pandered to. (At least that's the impression I get.) And a horror list WITHOUT Gregory Horror Show? You're slipping, ANN.

I tend to think this is an American opinion. Nothing inherently cruel about the villager's response to being killed off one by one, especially targeting family members to kill the rest of their family. spoiler[With the goal of the vampires claiming the village as their own, by killing or converting 'all' the humans.] |

If "Survival Horror" was part of this week's list, AoT is gruesome enough to be under that label.

I shall never see the appeal of being frightened or revulsed. It must be the case that there is some substantial affectional difference between me and horror fans; to enjoy emotions that one is usually glad to avoid is something I simply struggle to understand. Presumably, the horror fan's pleasure is a form of catharsis of a character more extreme than what I'm familiar with.

Maybe we didn't watched the same thing, because spoiler[Humans started to kill humans with no fact checking or remorse and while most vampires killed to feed (there was little choice), some humans indeed were killing vampires with a sense of glee basking in a sense of superiority, not the "rest in peace" kind of thing you expect from champions of justice] |
