Does Baccano! count?
>>63>Does Baccano! count?i'd say so, and it looks kewl i'll try watching
I used to be fan of bleak, dark & melancholic anime - while most of these might not be "dark western", some are for sure a downer. Here's a few I like.I recommend Texhnolyze as it's... very slow, and a little boring to watch, but that by itself maeks depressing and interesting. Just as reflects teh world teh main characters live in.Ergo Proxy has always ben a favorite of mine!For sure more sci-fi. What is life without Pino! Monster, i been meaning to read teh manga as it´s 10+ years since i saw teh anime. Bleak, yeah? Dark noir - no. Just to name a few; The Big O, Casshern Sins, Haibane Renmei, SoulTaker, Angel's Egg, Megalo Box
If you liek it, check out Durarara!! too. It's from the same author/studio, and has a similar "underground"-ish theme with gangs n stuff
to be clear, No.73 replies to No.64
I really didn't like Baccano too much when i saw it! also.PINO READING A BOOK! LOLi
>Monstermonster was fun from beginning 2 end
I enjoyed it, but i forgot most of teh story. I really like Naoki Urasawa works, 20 century boys is a masterpiece! Teh ost from Monster is really good too!
does death parade count? decim is hot. his voice gives me shivers.
>>77>but i forgot most of teh storythat's fair enough considering its slow-pacedness
>>76I watched Monster twice, which is rare for me to do for a show that long. I think it's because you have to appreciate how tight the show is. There's absolutely no filler, even at 74 episodes. The episode with picrel was my favorite one, and not just because it has a loli.That said, it's definitely gritty over stylish and perhaps not as much of a "noir." More like some post-1960s European Neo-noir if anything. But it is interesting for the same reason as some of these others in seeing a Japanese take on an extremely European setting with often extremely European themes.
>>134love Monster. it's a top 3 for me. been trying to get a lot of normalfags i know to watch it and i never recommend anime to normalfags. i think they would like it if they ever give it a chance. favorite character is the spy who grew up in an orphanage.
Naoki Urasawa has a manga that seems pretty lolicious, i yet not to read it - but main mc is a loli! One volume!https://myanimelist.net/manga/110313/Mujirushi/pics
Darker than black season 1 has a really nice noir energy i like
