Is there anything that is dark or violent this season?

Maybe that Hakkenden show? Didn't watch that one. Otherwise, I don't think so. Otherwise, I think the only dark and violent show running right now is Psycho-Pass.

There's not much, but you might try The Unlimited.

EDIT: Hakkenden isn't that violent right now, though there appears to be some mystery at the center of it. It's more of a fantasy action show, though, and so far has been focusing more on slice of life and comedy elements. Could change, and there are some mildly grotesque/creepy elements since it's a youkai show, but I don't know if I would call it "dark and violent."

Yeah, you wanna be watching Psycho Pass, which started last season but is continuing this one. (Assuming you aren't already!) This season is pretty cuddly all around, but that show has quite enough darkness and violence to tide you over until next season, which will have some pretty intense stuff.

There's also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, though I wouldn't call it dark. Plenty violent though!

I also say Psycho-Pass. I guess you could say Blast of Tempest is somewhat dark, but it's not gross-out or horribly violent. It's just that there are people on the streets who have been turned into metal (or whatever it is they've turned into) and the characters are walking around this disaster area.

Then there's Btooom. I don't know if it still continues this season, but that's all about being dark and pushing your buttons.

Of the Winter shows I've seen, they're all not in a genre where things would be dark.

I would second The Unlimited, since it is a show about a spoiler[criminal organization], and one of the leads has no problem with spoiler[killing lots of people to achieve his objective]

Everything else that started this season, seems to be more character driven stuff, comedies, as slice-of-life.
