The 2010s also saw two fantastic supernatural driven narratives, Another and Shiki. The narrative makes for a consistent rush of suspense and tension, keeping viewers on edge and awaiting each new shocking surprise.

As one of the more highly anticipated shows of 2019, The Promised Neverland ’s first season proved to be a riveting experience. Where pre-2010 anime fans had the incredible Death Note, post-2010 anime fans have The Promised Neverland. It’s still one of the best anime to go into totally blind, for it subverts anime tropes in a fascinating way and presents a chilling psychological tale. School-Live! was also a surprising gem many did not see coming. At first the show comes across as a slightly darker version of the typical magical girl anime we’ve all come to know and love however, it doesn’t take long for the show to not only flip audience’s expectations, but also submerge them in an eerie and heartbreaking story. Looking back at the earlier part of the decade, anime audiences were gifted the incredibly subversive and grim Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Packing numerous twists and brutal tension, these titles do a tremendous job keeping the viewer in the dark and excited for what is to come next. One of the defining qualities coming out of horror anime this decade has been the emphasis on psychological and thriller based stories.

So with that said, let’s talk about some of the best horror anime of the 2010s. Shifts had to take place earlier in the year where the column came out bi-monthly, but I am proud to share that as of 2020, I am back to releasing new installments on a monthly basis. Anime was one of the first art forms I ever discovered in life, and I’m so incredibly thankful to Bloody Disgusting for allowing me this opportunity. With shows exploring various subgenres of horror, the 2010s have offered viewers an awesome selection of anime entertainment that exudes chills and adrenaline.īefore we dive into the focus of this article, I want to express sincere gratitude to the audience who reads Anime Horrors. This past decade has not only been tremendous for anime as a whole, but there have been incredible works of horror-related anime in particular. *Keep up with our ongoing end of the decade coverage here*
