I'm a big Junji Ito fan, but I haven't really found any good anime that come close to matching the creepiness of his manga stories, including that one Junji Ito anime series that's out there. I think the closest I've seen is Mononoke, though honestly I haven't seen a ton of anime, so maybe I'm missing something. I thought I'd ask to see what you all might suggest in terms of genuinely creepy/unsettling/dark anime movies or series, either similar to Ito's stuff or whatever else you think is good.

Any suggestions?

    Made in Abyss. It has some of the same problems as Eldin Lied so whatch for that.l. Unlike elfiin lied though it isn't trash that we remember fondly.

    The Vampire Hunder D movies might be close enough to scratch the itches as well

      I’ve heard of all those but haven’t watched any. I’ll definitely look into them more, especially Vampire Hunter D.
