    What do you watch to give you that spooky scary feeling? 👻 Coming soon to Get in the Robot: • Ghibli 🎋 • Super Hero Anime 🦸‍♂️ • Evangelion 🤖
  • @dandman3300
    To be honest I never found it scary, it was the mystery that made me interested.
  • @vAqeii
    The anime may be dark but it has many layers and that's what makes it really enjoyable
  • @TheQuagmire9735
    How come alot of anime onlys think the Promised Neverland is a horror anime ? When it's a mystery thriller/ adventure series
  • @Spirit0mbYT
    Spoilers It caught me off guard when they showed connie dead in that truck
  • @rocklover572
    You know what's really scary?.... SAO's nonsensical plot P.S. End of Evangelion should've been mentioned, still got existential and emotional scars from that one
  • @cool_kai3298
    The Promised Neverland left me “Wow” “WOOT” “WHY!!” 🤭😓😭 “no!” “Hmm” “awww” “oh my gosh” crying
  • @gliter250
    I'd argue that Monster (2004-2005) counts as more of a psychological thriller that warrants further exploration!
  • @AdaraFukuchi
    wachu talking bout gurl? junji ito's collection was a MASTERPIECE! best comedy of the year! :D
  • Aw, I'm a bit disappointed there wasn't a slightly deeper dive in Shigeru Mizuki's work beyond the mention of Gegege no Kitaro. He is celebrated in Japan not just for his work in manga/anime, but as a scholar for Japanese folklore and was pretty much responsible for preserving those works after Imperial rule. It may not have been 100% related but... His influence deserves more than just a passing mention. Still a great video!!
  • @501BlakeG
    The promised neverland is honestly one of my favorite manga/anime in a long time
  • @sinom
    Some really good ""horror"" that will NOT scar you for life like junji Ito will: Ghosthound Serial Experiments Lain (atmospheric and phycological horror)
  • @TheEvilHumanist
    I have to say, this is probably one of the best written pieces on Anime. What I like about your video is that it is educational, entertaining and doesn't try to push an idea but shares a love and knowledge of a culture.
  • @NeonMilkTea
    Mirai Nikki was def an anime that really chilled me to the core. It was like Death Note meets Battle Royale (the manga.) Wild!!
  • We've been knew we're all out of vitamin d But man, you guys do some incredible deep dives!
  • @natalua1277
    I found promised neverland to be not scary, but suspenseful.
  • @KaBoomStock
    English dub of “Ghost Stories”!!!😂😂😂😂😂
