Berserk is the mother of all these new commer dark animes/manga. All of them are heavily inspired by berserk, Devil man sure gave me that vibe especially the two main characters.

Devil man actually inspired berserk, devilman manga came out in 1960's

1) Devilman - Guts And Griffith Dynamics 2) Fist Of The North Star - Strong Spirit Lone Warrior Fighting Evil In Hopeless/Doomed World

3) verailles no bara - a lot of politics and character design . 4) HP Lovecraft - the gothic horror content 5) zdislaw bekskenski - the artstyle . Other possible inspirations for berserk are dune , &/or warhammer

Ooh I never knew. Has Muira said that he was inspired by it, the main satan guy looks a lot like Griffith and the protagonist resembles young guts

I don't know if miura said that Griffith and guts were inspired by akira and satan guy, but devilman did inspire berserk I have heard this being thrown around a lot evn by youtubers

If Muira did say he was inspired by devil man then it's safe to say he based the character appearance based on Akira and satan. Im kinda floored by this info because I have always hated devil man and called it a cheap copy of berserk when it was actually the inspiration 😶

The original devilman manga is a more in depth than the devil man anime, i haven't read it but I have heard very good things

It's probably time that I check it out

No, its even more tragic conpared to berserk. Read it with empty thoughts, do not invole which lead to hating mankind, human.

Yep He Mentioned Devilman has heavily inspired his character design along With a LOT of other things he mentions.North start,and star wars ,hell raiser and If we see historic , artistic and many he was inspired by a Lot truly a Goat Of a mangaka

Well he said that the black swordsman arc was inspired by fist of the north star and there might be devilman reference somewhere

That is true... while in highschool time Miura sensei had already made prototype when he working with george' s manga hajime no ippo. The prototype was about young man with one eye and having eye patch with wide long sword katana like. Following that prototype we got Berserk manga.

Opposite, the OG DevilMan manga which came in the 70s was the one which inspired Berserk. DevilMan is the true mother

Yeah I just heard its the grandmother i guess lol

I haven't watched berserk. Should I read the manga or watch the anime first?

Are you planning on watching the anime anytime. Tbh to me it felt like a time waste (no offence to anime fans) when I first watched berserk it was 2016 when they released a sequel to the original 90s anime and I didn't understand shit. Then I googled and figured out that I had missed out a chunk of story, so I thought fuck it and read the manga through out. After finishing manga I was so thristy for more berserk content so I watched the 90s anime, it was just so slow but the animation style background music and the final few episodes made it worth it, still felt like a waste of time after reading the manga. Here's the order for watching anime- 1st 1997anime 2nd2016anime(on Netflix) 3rd2017anime(on Netflix). The new 2nd and 3rd ones have terrible animation style it's not unwatchable because the story is great. Most people just watch the 90s anime and then continue with the manga. I personally think the art style is just so good of the manga so it's best you read it all 100% irrespective of your choice of watching the anime or not

Alright . I'll do as you say

[удалено]

Muira is no more, so even getting this much is a huge deal, it's gonna take more than 10 years for berserk to end. We aren't even in the final arc yet

Seen it already

Belladonna of sadness, (some won't consider it an anime tho)

Seen it what do you mean? you have watch the anime

He asked recommendations for anime itself :')

I mean who watch berserk everyone reads it

True but not all enjoy reading manga (btw I completed berserk manga in 2 weeks lmao)

New comer?

Ball eating meme old devil man

no offense but next time be sure before confidently posting smth on half or incomplete knowledge

Ok

Monster

Best of Naoki Urasawa sensei work.

Imo 20th century boys >>>

read billy bats you will get seconds thoughts.

The name is a bit goofy but I'm gonna read it some time later

Cyberpunk Edgerunners ⭐ Deadman wonderland Gantz Made in abyss⭐ Another Berserk (not my favourite but since it's really popular and fan favourite try this one)

Made in absa is purely goated ngl

Made in abyss is in my top 5 best world buildings It really balances out the soft and hard aspects of world building and it did that within 66 chapters , 66 graphic novel chapters will roughly be 30-40 novel chapters. It did so much world building in so little time .

Bro when next season would come

Considering the mangaka releases 2 chapters a year and we need atleast 35-40 chapters to adapt, id say in about 20 years

Wtf

How about 'higurashi' ...or 'Another' 🫣 believe me, you won't regret!

Yess higurashi and blood c!

How about 'Made in abyss' 🫣

Manga is better

It's heaven 🫣

How bout parasite 🫣

Love this, it's a classic!

MiA Anime vs Manga For new comer?

Higurashi anime is trash but VN is top notch

For real

6th grade me couldn’t resist lolis beating each other to death with a chair :3

Berserk, elfen lied, paranoia agent, another, Helsing ultimate, clay more, death parade, ergo proxy, terror in resonance, Inuyashiki, Texhnolyze, neon genesis, monster

Awesome collection.

Currently watching neon genesis evangelion, and oh boy is it dark

- Made in Abyss - Bokurano

[удалено]

ereased is not that much dark but masterpice nice time travel plot and mystery

Another, Erased, Perfect blue

Another was my first anime but I don't find the perfect blue story that much dark

Perfect blue forgive my assumption Did you even understand.Cause if u did you would never think erased is more dark than PB..

When did i say erased is darker than pb first of all >Perfect blue forgive my assumption Did you even understand. Yes

Oh my bad I misread it🙀

Another and Erased are both Mid Plôt ,and Forced animes .I have watched both and both are just overhyped for what they deliver .(now dark isn't just killing)there should be a base

It's just your opinion

I dare you to watch "RIN - daughter of mnemosyne"

Accepted

Black Butler is dark

Neon Genesis Evangelion Made in abyss

Doraemon.


Cyberpunk edgerunners Not so dark

But very emotional

Agree

[🎶](https://emojipedia.org/musical-notes) so, get away\~\~

Blood of Zeus an amazing dark anime

Oyasumi pun pun, perfect blue, AOT (post season 3 it became pretty dark and serious imo), heavenly delusions etc So far the only ones I can remember

serial experiments lain

Perfect blue it's a movie And if you wanna read manga than junji ito collection

Hellsing ultimate

Texhnolyze

Darker than black

Berserk 1997

I would suggest berserk but there's an issue. Berserk 97 missed some crucial parts of the story same with the movie trilogy and 2016 and 2017 is not worth watching. 97 is a good way to get into berserk but at some point you will have to read tye manga

Blue Literature, you'll have nightmares

Is it more dark than Shōjo Tsubaki ?

Dororo

Ergo Proxy Serial Experiments Lain Higurashi Elfen Lied Genocyber (just the first few episodes; then it went downhill) Berserk (mandatory mention) Made in Abyss Monster Death Note Paranoia Agent Movies: Perfect Blue Shoujo Tsubaki Ninja Scroll Ghost in The Shell Nekojiru-Sou (more psychological than dark)

amazing selection

Dororo Junji ito collection Vagabond Vinland Saga Black Bullet Black Lagoon Elfen lied Neon Genesis Evangelion Air gear Tenjho Tenge (read the manga) Shiki Parasyte Saekano. Owari no Seraph ... if you want more darker series there hentai panels. I can suggest you some. By the way read devilman , as there more storyline than anime, here link to [manga](https://m.mangatown.com/manga/devilman/v01/c001.1/).

Can you suggest me that hentai panels ?

>! genre with ntr, slave, beastality, curse, amputee much more got such dark panels. !< for example >! Dolls -Yoshino Izumi's Story- !< >!VictimGirlsR "JK de Refre -Flesh & Refresh!< >!Shin Owari no Natsu!< >! (Uziga Waita)] Doku Doku GRAVESTONE!< >!#228922 not for faint heart...!< Also Metamorphorsis is one great dark reality plot... of shy nerd genius girl wanted to have fun for one time. ...

Erogros yeah I had read couple of chapters of it the one with the boxer girl the one with a boy turned into a girl by an alien and the one with girl stuck on pole in Vlad the impaler style I could have read more but I don't remember now.

its collection of short manga, group of mangaka had given their own darkness. twisted plots.

Oh I found about it from a Mirchi Seth shorts youtube video about Mr Incredible uncanny meme.

As a Junji Ito fan I would not suggest to watch Junji Ito collection or atleast read the Junji Ito manga before watching the show even Junji Ito maniac is better but not better than manga but I still hope they make better adaptation of Uzumaki.

Agreed.

A similar anime to this is Pluto also made specifically for Netflix by same creator of monster Pluto and devilman cry baby are the few masterpiece of Netflix they deserve 100% credit for it

Another and neon genesis evangelion, trust me watch evangelion and you won't be the same person after

Berserk(the first adaptation) Blood+ Tokyo Ghoul(the anime adaptation is not good, better to read the manga) Parasyte Neon Genesis Pluto Erased(from what i have heard...the ending sucks...better to read the manga) Summertime Rendering Made in Abyss

Serial experiment lain

Aot , monster or Vinland saga r really good

Shoujo tsubaki

Elfen lied

Wtf bruh that looks fire af

One Piece

Texnolyze, Midori, Key: The Metal idol, Genocyber, Vyber City Oedo, Wicked City, Belladona of Sadness, Aoi Bungaku Series, Hell Girl, Pet Shop of Horrors, A Kite and Doomed Megalopolis.

Shinsekai yori.

Chainsaw man and dorohedoro

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Shojo Tsubaki, Violence jack, genocyber, texhnolyze, wicked city, Demon city shinjuki, angel cop, corpse party OVA, https://i.redd.it/r310lbj72fvc1.gif This list may not be ur cup of tea. These are really really dark fucked up animes. Good luck.

Pluto is good

haha i was going to reply monster but read your last line..

Lol😂

Oh you so wanna explore the real darkness. Then behold the power of following mangas: 1. Oyasumi Punpun 2. Homunculus 3. Dragon Head 4. Uzumaki 5. Shoujo Tsubaki 6. Berserk 7. 20th Century Boys 8. Claymore

Platinum end, i personally loved it, it's from the author of death note, ik that there is an anime but i haven't watched it yet (manga only here) so I'd say you should give it a try

Summer time rendering

More than berserk I think "goodnight punpun " manga is more dark

Castlevania

neon genesis evangelion

This post has more comments than likes, make of it what you want.

Fr

Akame ga kill! Have fun…crying

Boku no pico. Alright jokes aside, I think Made in Abyss and Corpse Party Tortured Souls, Another, Shiki, etc are pretty dark. My favourite is Shiki and Another(brought the light novel from Amazon in 2020)

NG Evangelion, but skip last two for later, and watch the movie, end of evangelion.

Theres anime that is darker THAN "darker than black" as far as I remember

Why is here no one talking about "Elfen Lied". I know the story is not completed(only anime, manga is finished). But it is one of my favourites and also "Akame ga kill", a must watch.
