With anime making great strides in being more mainstream than ever in the west over the last decade or so, several TV series and movies have come out to play with various subgenres. Horror is one of them, and while that subgenre is difficult to execute regardless of the medium or format in question, there have been several noteworthy anime to incorporate it into their respective narratives, worlds, and premises.
Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, the organization’s leader, commands a powerful army to deploy against these shadowy creatures — but her greatest weapon is the vampire Alucard. He’s a rare case of a vampire engineered to side with the living, and the story gradually evolves into a fight against monsters and rival organizations. The series will be sure to satisfy fans of stylish action, horror-driven atmosphere, and morally gray characters.
Jujutsu Kaisen Though comparatively on the lighter side when it comes to horror, Jujutsu Kaisen is arguably among the best shounen anime series to weave the horror genre into its world while being widely palatable. It takes place in modern-day Japan where “Curses” are regular threats. These Curses are demonic entities born of the negative emotions of humanity, and the story revolves around how high schooler Yuuji Itadori is thrust into this grim world.
Perfect Blue A cult classic in and out of anime-centric circles, director Satoshi Kon’s movie Perfect Blue is one of the more outright horror-focused anime. The catalyst of the story is when the movie’s protagonist, Mima Kirigoe, leaves her J-Pop group to pursue a career as an actress, but her life takes a grim turn and begins to crumble around her.
While it isn’t currently available to stream, the Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust Blu-ray is available to purchase on Amazon.
