Deciding whether an anime is fitting for Heavy Metal music fans or not is a tricky proposition, but this selection ought to give a good sense of what it entails. A "metal" anime needs more than just a soundtrack full of screaming and guitars, though it does help. Rather, the following selection of shows has an edge to them that pushes audiences out of their comfort zone.
7 Bastard!! This anime is subtitled "Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy" in English for good reason. If nothing else, Bastard!!'s author loved the music genre enough to drop references everywhere in this over-the-top 80s fantasy that verges on self-parody.
4 Chainsaw Man As its title implies, Chainsaw Man is a superhero story skewed in all the ways black comedy can muster, as an orphan gains demonic powers and chooses to fight invaders from Hell to gain food, women, and attention.
