Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, and our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit in a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief moonlights as a jack of all trades, painting ads on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-tied Mayu, who for many years worked as a Shinki - the Sacred Weapon of Yato - left the owner. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician, you have to hide (what a shame!) From evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial anyway?
One day, a pretty high school student, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” the body and walk on the “other side”. Having met Yato there and recognized the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live between worlds for a long time. But, having got to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally direct the tramp on the true path: first, find a good-for-nothing weapon, then help earn money, and then, you see, what will happen. No wonder they say: what a woman wants - God wants!

The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mostly in their raw form. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but they are few, because the ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and disguise, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not consider cannibals a threat, in fact, they see them as an ideal basis for creating super-soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time ...
The main character Ken Kaneki will have to search for a new path painfully, because he realized that people and ghouls are similar: they just eat each other literally, others figuratively. The truth of life is cruel, it cannot be changed, and the one who does not turn away is strong. And then somehow!
The action takes place in an alternate reality where the existence of demons has long been recognized; in the Pacific Ocean there is even an island - "Itogamijima", where demons are full-fledged citizens and have equal rights with humans. However, there are also human magicians who hunt them, in particular, vampires. An ordinary Japanese schoolboy named Akatsuki Kojo, for some unknown reason, turned into a "purebred vampire", the fourth in number. He is followed by a young girl, Himeraki Yukina, or "blade shaman", who is supposed to keep an eye on Akatsuki and kill him in case he gets out of control.
The story is about a young man named Saitama who lives in a world ironically similar to ours. He is 25, he is bald and beautiful, besides, he is so strong that with one blow he annihilates all dangers for humanity. He is looking for himself on a difficult life path, along the way handing out slaps to monsters and villains.
Now you have to play the game. What kind of game it will be - roulette will decide. The bet in the game will be your life. After death, people who died at the same time go to Queen Decim, where they have to play a game. But in fact, what is happening to them here is the Heavenly Court.
Anime-style series and shows, although popular among teenagers, still have a very dubious reputation. At first glance, the world of anime is cute in all its manifestations of heroes and their situations. However, for scary scenes in anime, there is still a place and fans. Let's take a closer look at the dark side of this trend using the example of the 10 most violent anime.
Elven song (Erufen rîto)
Translated from German into Russian, the name of the anime sounds like "Elven Song", although its story does not carry any positive load. The plot centers on a telekinetically gifted mutant named Lucy. Lucy has oddities in her appearance, such as horns and invisible hands.
The scientists hunt her for their own purposes, but their plans fail when Lucy kills the entire group of workers at the research facility and leaves.
Deadman Wonderland
The anime begins with Ganta Igarashi and his classmates making hilarious plans to visit an amusement park. However, they are not destined to come true because a man in the blood gets into the class, who kills everyone except Ganta.
According to the police, Ganta is the prime suspect and is sent to prison, where he has to participate in prison games in order to survive.
Corpse Party: Tortured Souls
This anime is based on the video game Corpse Party and is only 4 episodes long. This is a new high school built on the ruins of the Heavenly Host Academy.
After the friends cast the spell of eternal friendship, something strange happens: the friends again end up in the Academy of the Heavenly Host, only now in the form of raging inanimate creatures, thirsty for murder.
Tokyo Ghoul
The story of Ken Kaneki tells how the hero turned into a ghoul. It all starts with a harmless date, which he is forced to go on due to the lack of attention from the girls. The girl turns out to be a ghoul.
After an accident, the hero wakes up in the hospital and immediately notices changes in his body. It turns out that the doctors transplanted the organs of a ghoul into Kaneki's body.
It becomes clear that the hero is waiting for the difficult fate of a person who needs to suppress the constant thirst for human flesh and hide his new look from the public.
Other (Anaza)
Anime Another is a horror story about the death of Misaki's student in 1972. The teacher and classmates coped with the grief of loss in their own way.
The plot shifts to 1998 when Koichi Sakakibara goes to school. There he meets Mei's student Misaki, whom the teacher and the children simply do not recognize. Koichi's suspicions arise when a string of deaths of students and their families occurs.
Now Shinichi's life is a collaboration with a breathing being in his own hand.
Berserker
Judging by the trailer, the anime can not be called bloody. But everything opens immediately after meeting the main character named Guts. The idea of the anime is a medieval drama with elements of violence, or simply a game of thrones.
The hero equates courage with violence, and soon teams up with a band called the Hawk Band and their leader, Griffith.
This show has two adaptations - 1997 and 2016. We advise you to watch them in order as a sensible story with a modern continuation.
Blood-C (Blood-C)
Saya Kisaragi is a friendly and outgoing student, albeit a little scattered. What fundamentally does not fit with her hidden potential is the protection of the village from monsters.
In the anime, viewers will see pictures of the murder of Elder Burns and creatures that, taking the form of inanimate objects, prey on people. Can the heroine save her friends before Elder Burns sentences them to death?
Gantz
The main character is a good-natured and capable teenager Kei Kurono. He and a friend are hit by a train while trying to save a homeless man on the train tracks.
Upon impact, the friends are immediately killed and transported to a strange room with a group of other people who also faced death. They soon learn that they must take part in a game that involves finding and killing aliens scattered throughout Japan.
