If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

I thought it was gory, but it didn't bother me. The only part that did was when they first introduced Nana in the test room. That and the loli rape, but close enough.

How did you not think Elfen Lied was gory. I have to wonder what you people define gory as haha. The only other anime that I can think of that's gorier is the End of Evangelion movie when they show Unit 02 after 04-13 got through with it.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Yeah, I don't think you can really deny that it's gory, just on whether it's too much for you to handle, or isn't.

guess i have to torrent =/




Ghost in the Shell has one of the better dubs in all of anime. Normally dubs bother me, but I seriously thought that the major's voice in Japanese didn't suite her personality at all. But if you really want them, there are subs on the internet. Just look harder

Yeah there was a scene where you see Mayu as like maybe a 10 Year old getting nude for her stepfather.

I was kind of surprised that she wasn't more traumatized by that experience. I mean she didn't pull a Kouta or a Lucy/Nyuu where she sealed off her own memory, but she just lives. Doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the other characters but whatever.

Eh, it all makes sense to me. The situations are all very different.

Kouta flat out sealed everything off, but you have to consider that the events happened 7-10 years ago (not sure on the exact amount of time), so it's possible that it isn't a sealing that occurred right away, but he forgot the events over the course of his life (because he didn't want to remember something so terrible, so he told himself that there was an accident).

The first appearance of Nyuu, as far as we could tell, was on the beach after Lucy escaped from the facility. Likely from the impact of the bullet/helmet, not triggered by seeing Kouta (as they found her on the beach as Nyuu). The instances where she reverts back to Lucy, she's well aware of the things she did. Been awhile since I've watched the series, but I don't believe they really went into why she was going in between Lucy/Nyuu.

With Mayu, the events were all recent. She ran away from home because her step father was doing the things he was. So, while it's something she could seal away with time, it's still all fresh in mind, and living on the streets, she has a reminder every day of her life.

There's several other things to consider. I think, though I'm not positive, that Kouta may have been a bit younger than Mayu was when everything happened to him. That would make it a bit easier to forget things. + Show Spoiler +
Also, the actual events that would cause memory lapse are completely different. I'd say that watching your little sister/father be torn apart by invisible arms, right in front of you, being splattered in their blood is quite a bit different than your step father molesting you. Sure, the second isn't any fun, and is quite a traumatic experience, but I personally don't think they're on the same level.
And then there's just the different personalities to factor in. Kouta's a bit of a pussy, while Mayu just wanted to get away. She may have problems later on in life, but for now she's just happy to have survived the ordeal, and found some friends.

Texhnolyze (amazing in every way)
Kemonozume (difficult to stomach)
Baccano! (not all that dark though)
Berserk (if you haven't seen it)
Darker than BLACK (as you can see on the name, it's REALLY REALLY DARK)

the last one was a joke btw

Off the top of my head, I can't think of much gorier/darker than Elfen Lied, that directly fits in the realm of anime... >_>

Watched Basilisk a few months back. Lots of blood, not a lot of dismemberment from what I remember, but it was pretty good. Basically a love story about the head of rival ninja clans that are in a battle to the death. Some unique abilities (ninjitsu?), and fighting sequences. Generally gory, but I wouldn't really say it's darker than Elfen Lied.

Unless of course you just mean darker/gory in general, and not darker/gorier than Elfen Lied.

Edit: Which I'm pretty sure you did mean. Just still had Elfen Lied on the mind. Still can't think of many dark series off the top of my head though. Berserk was good (as mentioned above), but most people will have seen it by now, I reckon.

Elfen Lied isn't really dark, it's just a pseudopsychological anime that doesn't really have much depth. Cute nyuunyuu girls killing eachother... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
