top 10 anime moments
the leftist shook the
mother kicker
for this list we'll be looking at the
anime scenes that are so chilling
they cannot be forgotten please note
that spoilers will be everywhere

your core let us know in the comments
and as always you can catch me on
twitter at jbow
so head over there give me a follow let
me know which anime list you want to see
next
number 10 joker's past fire force
along with splendid action plenty of
humor and too much fan service
fire force can also throw out the
occasional haunting sequence
enigmatic and driven by a lust for truth
joker's endless charm makes the
character's incredibly dark backstory
all the more difficult to anticipate
during an invasion of the holy soul
temple's netherworld
joker's history with the church becomes
exposed one defined by abuse and
murder
although the flashback happens in an
episode that is rather atmospheric and
tense joker's backstory unfolds in waves
of suffering
and goes to wholly unexpected places
[Music]
number nine kaiji gambles with his
fingers
and loses kaiji as entertaining as
gambling anime can be
the fun comes from seeing how rather
than if the protagonists win
kaiji is the exception as it presents
its tearful main character
as fallible
still the anime seems to raise its
stakes a bit too high
when kaiji puts four of his fingers on
the line in a gamble against the taeya
corporation's
detestable
the protagonist of a typical gambling
anime would never lose such a bet
but kaiji is nothing if not
unpredictable
the anime also follows through on its
promise and kaiji ends the day with only
six fingers attached
[Music]
number eight shinichi's mum is a
parasite
parasites the best body horror anime has
to offer
parasite delivers not only creative gore
but also
psychological terror
an early example of the anime's
brilliance involves shinichi
the quiet protagonist with an alien for
a hand meeting his mother after her body
had been taken over by a parasite while
nobuko dying
so early in the anime is quite
surprising the most shocking thing about
this scene is shinichi's painfully human
reaction
despite knowing the truth shinichi
refuses to accept the reality that his
mother is dead
as the scene plays out shinichi grows
more emotionally broken
while the parasite uses nobuko's corpse
like a puppet
number seven the murder of mikasa's
family attack on titan
titans are not the only monsters
this modern phenomenon is synonymous
with shocking moments but mikasa's
backstory stands out
due to just how real it feels in a
flashback
her parents are murdered by bandits who
want to make a buck on the black market
the sequence is fantastically paced and
extremely graphic
and it eliminates the idea that attack
on titan is just a story about the good
humans taking on the evil naked beasts
this moment is not just gory and
unexpected
but it's also cruel while the titans are
depicted as mindless animals in the
early parts of the anime
these murderers are premeditated and
selfish
[Music]
number six kiritsugu's sacrifices are
all for nothing
fate zero whether striving to be a hero
of justice or sacrificing a few people
to save many
kiritsugu has good intentions at heart
joining the holy grail war to create a
world without conflict
saber's master soon learns that the
corrupted grail
twists any wish into one of destruction
this fact renders all of kuritsugu's
previous sacrifices pointless
but fate zero's climax delivers a double
dose of depression
after ordering saber to destroy the
grail kiritsugu's decision backfires
and leads to the decimation of a large
part of shinto
putting aside a small ray of hope in the
form of shiro emiya
this ending is a mega downer
number five toshio uses his wife as a
guinea pig
shiki a series of two halves shiki
starts as a relatively slow-moving
horror anime about vampires
taking over a town in denial before
eventually blurring the lines separating
the humans
from the monsters
the turning point happens when toshio a
pretty likeable doctor who is desperate
for answers
decides to use his recently transformed
wife as a guinea pig
[Music]
oh
humans are presented as nothing more
than victims for the most part potosio
experimenting on a confused
and frightened kyoko ishiki at its most
brutal
setting the tone for the darkness to
come
[Music]
number four the raid steins gate
following a dozen episodes of slice of
life hijinks
character development and okabe
hammering it up as a mad scientist
steins gate finally explodes in a moment
that changes
everything
the future gadget lab and specifically
kurisu
put the finishing touches on their time
leap machine an
uneasy air falls over the anime that
culminates in a raid that leaves one
character
dead and everyone else in shock
[Music]
although the series foreshadows this
event well enough this moment still
marks a significant tonal shift
okabe is never the same for better or
worse
number three lucy's puppy is killed
elfin lead
known for its gruesome scenes this retro
cenan goes to places few shows
are willing to explore in the most
infamous moment of the anime
a flashback shows how a young lucy was
tormented by an orphanage's bullies
and ignored by its uncaring adults
before finding some solace in a stray
puppy
[Music]
as a will this cruel has no time for
kindness
lucy can do nothing but watch as the
worst children ever
bludgeon her dog to death with a bars
i've never seen you this upset before
you must really like the dog
plenty of anime throw out graphic death
scenes but there is just something
different about watching a helpless
puppy be tortured for amusement
lucy does get revenge pretty quickly
though
people like you number two don't trust
rena
higurashi when they cry go as multiple
time loops are all par for the course
the anime can play around with
expectations
in the final arc of the 2006 anime
keichi learns that in the original time
loop
rena and meon were not trying to kill
him and the protagonist's paranoia
caused him to kill them instead so
when the 2020 sequel presents a time
loop where keichi manages to trust rena
everything seems right in the world
unfortunately this time around
rena is genuinely trying to kill keiji
the scene also manages to be unsettling
without the context of the original
series
as rena shows up for dinner with a bag
full of torture instruments

pruska's death made in abyss dawn of the
deep soul
innocence has no place in the abyss
this movie sequel delves deeper into
bondrud a human who is willing to do
anything to learn the truth
about the supernatural chasm he inhabits
it also introduces us to pruska
bondrewd's young adoptive daughter who
loves and idolizes her papa
unfortunately pruska's trust is
misplaced
as bondrewd ultimately uses his
daughter's love and life to protect
himself from the abyss's curse
while not surprising the scene is still
absolutely
devastating as the likeable pruska is
reduced to a bloodied tool
to be used and discarded
