The show is available for free, legal streaming at Crunchyroll and should be relatively accessible to those new to anime. It’s unpredictable and intriguing enough to let you breeze through its twelve episodes. New elements are thrown in constantly, some simply to set you down the wrong path, so it’s unlikely your first guesses are anywhere near correct. What I like about the show is that it’s a mystery that kept playing with my expectations right up to the very end. The dwindling number of survivors must now seek a way to stop the deaths and answer the all-important question: who is the cause of this? When a new transfer student is placed into the cursed class and begins to notice a girl nobody else can seemingly see, the curse breaks loose once again and begins to claim lives. Students, teachers, and even family members are at risk of dying in horrible ways when the curse is active, similar to what you would expect in a Final Destination movie. AnotherĬlass 3-3 of Yomiyama North Middle School is notorious for being cursed ever since a student in that class died in 1972 and everybody pretended it never happened. With that said, regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of anime already, I hope you can find a few shows on this list that appeal to you. What I like about anime is that it’s an unconventional medium, and even something as straightforward as a zombie apocalypse story can become incredibly oddball ( H ighschool of the Dead). I must warn you, however, that most of these shows don’t tackle horror the same way as the video games we all know and love, even those of Japanese make. Now that Halloween is approaching, I have been given permission to run rampant for a night and share with you ten of the best horror anime that I could find.

We have probably all seen an anime at some point in our life-the Pokémon boom of the 90s was hard to avoid after all-but many don’t realize that there is a plethora of anime on the market that isn’t about pocket or digital monsters, but regular ones that simply want to eat you. Ever since I first joined Rely on Horror all the way back in 2011, I have wanted to talk about a subject that is very close to my heart, but falls just outside of our regular coverage: horror anime.
