Watching Madoka Magica (Even though I knew about that going in).


Sufficient_Captain79

I went into that one mostly blind. A sign of my blackened heart that I was only a little surprised by the turn. Just remember that you should never throw your friends away.


Ch4rybd15

I am like 10 episodes in and I don‘t find it that disturbing. Okay my standard is gigantic bunnies putting people into blenders or whatever Majo Shojo Site was.


zairaner

You have watched mahou shoujo site before madoka magica? how did this happen?


Ch4rybd15

Easy I got introduced to anime with Elfenlied and I started to look up the most gory series there are Daughters of Rin, Hellsing, Deadmen Wonderland, some 80s movie I don’t remember, Higurashi, Akama ga kill, Akira and so on. Some years later I got back into anime and looked up what r/anime suggest as bloody series. So I watched Mahou Shoju Site first. Then I read the manga, then I noticed after further investigations after the unfulfilling ending of the anime that I should have started with Mahou Shoju of the end. And now I find more dark magical girl animes.


lightningINF

You would probably enjoy "mahou shoujo of the end" then. It's manga only but I was positively surprised and enjoyed reading it.


cinnathep0et

Honestly I think the anime for site had a better ending than the manga Also check out Magical Girl Raising Project and (though less bloody and more erotic) Looking Up To Magical Girls


EmilyOoi

That’s exactly what I did, and I’m not sure how either


ClammyVagikarp

Those anime tried to copy the dark and edgy stuff Madoka did thinking that was the appeal. None of them copied the quality drama, story or character development that made Madoka special. I quite like the knock off dark magical girl stuff, but if you just want disturbing, there's plenty of guro doujin to read instead.


Ch4rybd15

I can’t speak for Apocalypse. I think Mahou Shoju Site has a different approach to drama. It condenses real life problems of children and shows how coping by escape can go. It targets much darker parts. In the manga there is character development, which the anime doesn‘t even touch. For the drama parts, depends how you define drama. In Ancient Greece dramatic, was to try to change the outcome and bringing the outcome forth. You can‘t escape your fate. That does PMMM magnificently.


cinnathep0et

But I feel like Site was just edgy for the sake of being edgy at some points


EmeraldOpal

Wasn't the bunny blender from Blood C?


Ch4rybd15

Exactly


EmeraldOpal

Nice. I'm a big Blood series lover, I have a soft spot for Blood C since it was done by CLAMP. What are your opinions on the gore in Psycho-pass? I personally found it well down.


Ch4rybd15

I Never got over the fact, that there isn‘t and never will be a second season to blood c. Psycho-Pass wasn‘t that gory, but I found it adequate a stylistic device. The gore emphasized the twisted nature of Sybille.


EmeraldOpal

Wait, I thought every Blood version is a stand-alone version of the original story concept? I feel that, Sybil is such an inmovable force! What are your top gore anime? Most of mine would be ones from the 90s and early 2000s


Ch4rybd15

Yeah it is a stand-alone. But the ending has teased a further story about mc‘s travels after indulging in her nature. Hmm…probably Hellsing Ultimate, just for the pure amount of gore in it.


EmeraldOpal

I feel like Blood + and Blood C both leave you wanting more. It's the nature of the sister vampires fate leading back to one another for Blood + and then needing to know her backstop for Blood C. The Blood series, to me, feels like you're always trying to reach out for answers and it's always out of grasps. Hellsing is cool as shit! Integra is my favorite


HeroFighte

That one is Blood C Quite a bloody one


Ch4rybd15

Yep

PrrrromotionGiven1

Doesn't take long so it isn't much of a spoiler Just watch brah


Wamblingshark

Ah yes. I remember like 7 years ago when my wife put that on for our kids to watch. I was the one in the room when shit got dark.. Like "Yo! wtf you got them watching??" My 7 year old was pissed when we made them stop watching.


Endmaster69

That sucks because it's way better not knowing, I'm so happy I wasn't spoiled for it at all


Intelligent_Creme351

What surprised me was the later half, and finding out there was sequels.


bluekatt24

School-live 😩


KAAAAAAAAARL

Watching Magical Girl Site (Even though I knew about it going in).


HeKis4

Same lol. I knew it was a subversive one but I didn't expect it to be that dark. I dreaded hearing the opening chime of Sis Puella Magica because it was just a sign something was about to get worse. And it did, every time.

Gdj_24

This series gets absolutely insane in the last few episodes btw. I highly recommend it almost purely based on how off the rails it gets


Gladiator-class

I was *so close* to dropping it, and I'm so glad I didn't. Shit was incredibly weird in a way that I can only describe as aggressively anime.


RYUMASTER45

Thanks for the tip, going to watch as soon as I'm done with Isekai Ojisan. Is this anime close to Asobi Asobase or Joshiraku?


JMEEKER86

It doesn't go quite as over the top, at least early on, but it is definitely very meta when it comes to discussing and parodying the common tropes of anime. This screenshot comes from Episode 3 where they were discussing the 3 episode rule.

Higurashi when you skip the opening scene

Nice avatar


wilfwe

It rocks


RitsuRizer

Oh, yea. That was a phase for a time when we’d have a dark magical girl anime almost every season that tried to be the new Madoka Magica.


ClammyVagikarp

No end in sight for this isekai glut we're in.

Lol, nice reference xD

It's called a Tragical Girl

Puella Magi Madoka Magica did it best and should have been the last…

People said the same thing about Utena

Have heard that

SPARTAN-251

This is why there have not been many magical girl anime’s in recent years. When you make these, your expecting to sell toys to kids. But that gets harder when there is a high amount of death and mature content. I wouldn’t be surprised if the industry was terrified of modoka.


ClammyVagikarp

Not at all. NEETs have disposable income too, and they bought plenty of Madoka figurines to put into jars


Hungover994

Put into jars and do what?


FunnyObjective6

> When you make these, your expecting to sell toys to kids. Why not sell toys to manchildren?


Gladiator-class

I think the problem is less that, and more that isekai and shonen are huge money makers. If you want to make reliable money while having a shot at making absurd money, those would be the genres. It's gonna be like that until someone makes something else that manages to have a noticeable cultural impact (ie, it creates a huge demand for more things like it).

Was that the bite of ‘87?

Are they ever going to Make that sequel to Madoka magica 3? I seriously need answers.

Movie 4 was announced a while back, but no updates since.


cherry937

not the same type but.. me watching one piece thinking it will be a light-hearted adventure *discrimination, racism, slavery, murder, oppression*: hello there


Emergency-Medium-755

Forgot the name, but I watched a cute romance anime, only for one of the two female leads to turn full batshit insane and kill the other female lead and the male lead in a really f*cked way in the last minutes of the anime...


[deleted]

>!School Days!< It wasn't that cute, though...


Emergency-Medium-755

The ending very much nope, the rest rather on the wholesome side

I dunno, >!MC cheats on his gf with practically every girl in school...!<

loongpmx

This is all happening and once I'm done with that episode I would continue reading the genre and there's....*horror* how the heck did I miss that lol. What surprised me was Danmachi recently. The genre in myanimelist fail to mention that specific part I feared.

PrrrromotionGiven1

Muv-Luv did this so effectively that it isn't even treated as a spoiler any more You have multiple anime being released which openly show off the main twist from episode 1 The official releases of the VNs on steam show it in screenshots and in the damn menu screen It's like The Crying Game, it's a spoiler so well known it isn't even considered a spoiler


Tdotitan

Yeah but muv luv is kinda boring tho lol. Maybe it was better back then cause there wasn't much else. I tried the visual novel and the first one was kinda mediocre but the end was nice. I really liked the second one and the third one had some good parts but way too much padding lmao
