Devilman is the only correct answer.

Yeah but what made grimdark mainstream though? Or at least brought grimdark to the forefront of the public conscientiousness. I would put it between Berserk and Eva really. Then deathnote and Full metal alchemist revived it/kept it going in the last decade I'd say.

>>150355201
The manga as per usual is supposed to be 100% better.

>>150355644
He is though.

>>150355644
I love him but he kindof is. I don't think it's bad edgyness, mind you.

>>150356354
Unce Go was mainstream. If you mean contemporary mainstream that will always shift with time depending on what's in the trend. When I was at entry level of anime, Hellsing and Elfen Lied were more popular than Berserk.

>Hellsing and Elfen Lied
I'll buy hellsing but elfen lies has always been just at cult following status as far back as I can remember. What can you back that up with? Hellsing had a cult status too if I remember too Hellsing ultimate was actually when people gave a damn about hellsing.

>>150356354
Berserk is obscure shit that keeps tumbling farther and farther down every year, no matter how much money they pump into it and try to revive it.

Best answer I can give you is Michael Moorcock, and I'm not 100% sure about that.

>>150355586
What manga is this?

>>150357050
>>150356604
he wasn't edgy

>>150354958
Lelouch is more Machiavellian than edgy.
Light isn't edgy so much as he's a legit sociopath.
Kurapika is just an angsty teenager.
Sasuke is literally autistic.

>>150356899
>cult
if you mean small group of fans then no. Pretty much everyone who called himself anime fan knew or seen it. At least that's how it worked on the online game forums and my friends.

If you want numbers, how about this?

>>150355298
>incest
Cousins do not count.

>edgy equals bad
What did /a/ mean by this?

>>150354958
You did.

I wish edgy characters would be more self aware.

>>150357282
>Antisocial with complete aversion to making friends or basic human interaction
>Random violent outbursts
>No attraction to the opposite or similar sex whatsoever
>Constantly flip-flopping on decisions and making homicidal decisions for shitty reasons
>Refuses to live with his family at the end and chooses to be a wandering hobo
Sasuke is both edgy and autistic. He's Edgetistic.

I found Berserk because it was "like Elfen Lied" too. It was a different time.

Bitch please, none of you know what the fuck edgy means with how often you throw the word around.

>>150355028
how do you figure

That actually sounds like the average denizen of 4chan.

>>150358240
4chan is very normalfag now, most of /a/ have an active social life.

>>150358272
Which means it's not as fun as it was, but it's still the best time-waster site on the Internet.
