Why isn't "Horror" a popular anime genre?

because it's hard to make a cartoon scary and the anime industry is lazy as fuck

>>160609049
It's hard to get scared of something in a chinese cartoon, best they could do would be ambient horror but that would actually take effort or jumpscares which gets pretty cheap the more you use them.

Live action horror tends to be popular because it's cheap to make

In prose form, it's popular because people have a fascination with fucked up shit

Animation is incredibly cost ineffective so you either gotta milk the niche market (otaku) or go for broad appeal

Besides, all the most successful "horror" is horror hybrids, like action/horror Resident Evil or comedy/horror like Ghostbusters or even fantasy and sci-fi horror like Berserk or the Aliens movies

>>160609190
>>160609277
But there's been plenty of scary VNs. If still art can be scary, why can''t art in motion?

>>160609049
horror derives from being relatable and seemingly real. 2D is neither.

Horror elements can work in certain anime. I'm still waiting for my 'First day on the job, shits gone terribly wrong' cop anime.

>>160609309
just watch the Higurashi anime. It threw all the suspence and exposition, which were the highlights of the original VN, and made it just "cute girls killing each other".

>>160609309
Horror is basically fantasy that makes you feel scared. You could argue that crime novels about fucked up shit, or works that deal with how reality sucks are pretty scary, but none of those where made as "horror". Horror is supposed to be visceral and/or "not real". That's why it's a genre.

Ghost Hunt had a part that was pretty damn creepy. If only more of it was like that.

Japanese live in a horror story every day, why would they want to watch one?

>>160609571
this is true, they exist only to be slaves to japo corporations and then inevitably hang themselves in their literal forests of suicide, also most don't even make it to adulthood since pretty much all of them that arn't the top 1% of their class either go full NEET or Suicided or they end up living an IRL horror story themselves before getting murdered or some shit.
being japanese is suffering.

fucking crybabies, they live in one the most developed countries in the world and they whine because "wahh society is mean". If they really hate it they should either man up and stick it to their bosses or just get out. It's not like they won't be recieved by other countries. Quite the opposite in fact, since they are not latinos or muslims.

Horror has to have the "this could happen to you" element, which is especially hard to pull off in animation. Slasher and zombie flicks are especially ill-suited.
Surreality works better. They could probably get some decent ideas by ripping off Twilight Zone episodes.

Though once you learn what's actually happening, it becomes more of a thriller and not exactly horror

>>160611390
I found it more depressing than scary. Sure, the theme is scary, but the actual plot is more tragic than anything.

>>160609049
Horror in general takes talent, that's why.

>>160609049
Because it's usually done poorly and terribly, plus the jump scares are cheap.

>>160611390
Are you 10?

>>160609049
Made in Abyss is popular right now

Because most are shit. Ether everyone has amnesia or it's incredibly intense sadism that has no chance in hell of ever getting adapted.

>>160611578
Also the horror ends up being in the background of some shitty drama harem between the protagonists who are usually really unlikable or just generic as shit.

>>160609049
What the fuck is that?

Does anyone, as an adult, actually expect horror to be *scary*? I know that I don't. Almost nothing fictional is capable of scaring me. But that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy horror, or that I don't think that any of it is good. There are other things that it can provide.

>>160611390
My nigga.

Lovecraftian anime when?

>>160611593
MiA is hardly horror.
It'll have some fucked up suffering shit in a few episodes, but it isn't scary.

>>160611706
Madoka was pretty Lovecraftian, but it wasn't horror.

I find it funny that japs in pop culture understand the idea behind cosmic horror better than americans, who only use the "lel tentacles and shit" trite.

I hate horror, what kind of edgy faggot wants to watch scary things? Who likes seeing suffering and death?

Anything can be horror if you think about it too much

>>160611785
>murrikans in charge of not being dumb
>ever

>>160611499
>>160611518
It's more psychological horror once the initial shock value of the gore wears off, which admittedly doesn't take long. I liked it a lot more than I like most horror stuff, since the focus was more on the plot than just trying to scare you.
>>160611588
What didn't you like about it?
>>160611693
It's actually my favorite VN, I should reread it sometime.

Because idiots conflate horror with blood and guts. The best "horror" movies have little to no violence. Building a scary atmosphere or sense of dread works a thousand times better. The Ring was the scariest movie I ever saw as a teen and that had almost no blood or gore. Sure it had some cheap jump scares but most of the scares were created with great tension building and creepy imagery. It can be done but good horror takes true creativity and a bit of a twisted personality and sadly those are rare combinations.

>>160611785
Eh, Madoka doesn't really count, despite some slight similarities.
American's haven't fared too well at it either in tv/cinema but have had some decent stuff in board games and one video game.

I liked the third the most, where it starts to get into the broader story and mindfuckery

>>160612228
I usually not into horror stuff, and I scare easily, so that could be why I thought it was worse than it is. I liked it more for the plot than the horror anyways.

>>160611935
Comparing the Corpse Party anime to the Corpse Party game is a prime example of this. The game is capable of both creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere as well as putting dead people everywhere. The anime is just cheap blood and guts.

I want an anime that goes for horror in a different way. Gore and jump scares are not enough. I want to be freaked out.

Like, imagine a normal anime about cute girls doing cute things. Then suddenly on chapter 3 the protagonist just looks at the screen with a thousand yard stare and starts mumbling "help me help me help me" for 5 minutes straight. After that the episode continues like always and the next one too. Imagine the fucking shitstorm fans would make.

Or pulling some medium blending and making appear a real white horror face out of nowhere. Have some shadows always following the protagonists on the background. Shit like that, without any explanation or effort.

>>160609049
Horror is a normie genre

>>160612744
Yeah no, that sounds like something you'd hear in a boring creepypasta.

>Have some shadows always following the protagonists on the background.
I liked the early parts of the Higurashi VN, where MC occasionally hears a second set of footsteps behind his even though nothing is around, right before weird things happen.
To me, the best way to do horror is subtle mystery, not being in your face with something that doesn't really make sense.

>>160613213
Well the problem is that if it is too subtle it loses all the charm. I want it to be noticeable enough to scare people or make them think ("did this just really happened?"). Things like foosteps work perfectly in 3d but in anime i dont feel they are as scary.

>>160613207
Are you implying there's not a lot of successful anime that are normie garbage too? If anything that would only give people more reason to make horror anime since the audience is bigger.

>>160613091
What happens when you attempt to use uninitialized arrays.

>>160609303
This is actually a really good point which answers OP perfectly, and it's ignored in favour of "cartons cant b scary???" Never change, /a/.

>>160609049
Because horror is a shit genre.

>>160612313
the problem if you've actually read lovecrafts works is that even most lovecraftian content deviates from the themes that should make it lovecraftian. to hope something on the other side of the world would actually get it right is unlikely.

>>160609303
This is strikes me as correct, but to add to that it's more popular in literature because the author can just offload the problem of making things scary to the reader's imagination so they only have to handle the ideas and pacing. With visual works you need to have someone with real artistic vision to even have a chance of making something really good(this is partially why manga has successful horror series which rarely ever cross over to anime). On top of that there's all the other normal stumbling blocks like direction and writing quality. Once you have those sorts of limitations on top of being budget starved in an expensive medium like anime there's practically no reasonable way to do horror, let alone good horror.

That said I may just be biased, as I've never found almost any horror outside of literature to be very good.

>>160611785
Eh, in Madoka the whole story revolved around humans being somewhat important, even if it was only to a race of sociopathic magic talking wish cats/ovaries. A key part of lovecraft/cosmic whatever in my mind was always human's relative unimportance in the scheme of things, and when some human bumps up against the edges of the unknown horrors and starts raving like a loon it's more because whatever they bumped into swatted at them like a horse flicks it's tail at biting flies or violated their whole conception of self in relation to the universe, rather than because they are worth noting.

Because it usually turns into comedy.

>>160615741
This, Another was a 10/10 comedy and nothing else.

Cause it won't sell unless it's a survival game format, Ousama Game is getting an anime.

Ever since Murricunts decided that jump scares and gore porn are horror, there hasn't really been many good western horror works either.

>>160614609
I'd say you are right that madoka misses the mark on being actual lovecraftian, but I don't think the focus is on how small or unimportant the human is. that plays into it but writing about the things lovecraft wrote about was more of an escape from his belief that the world was mundane without god or anything higher than human understanding. He was missing it in his life so he put into his stories so many things that were "greater" than us. Not all of the stories even took a turn towards horror though again the human was usually terrified or insignificant.

tl;dr lovecrafts writing was a coping mechanism for his desire for something greater and that's why everything that tries to be lovecraftian fails even if it is good in its own right.

Then instead of taking the easy way out and just agreeing with everyone else, try saying what you liked about it.

I don't know, man. The animation sucked, the censorship everywhere makes the TV release unwatchable, the story is not engaging at all, the voice acting is bland. Like I said, I'm stupid and I can't explain why I like shitty shows. You're talking to someone that's enjoyed Master of the Martial Hearts without knowing the ending. It's not because I'm being a contrarian, I know they suck, but I can't help it.

>>160617278
fuck that anon, I hate when people say "I like X even though it's bad". even people who enjoy terrible b movies have something about them that makes their heart beat. I don't want an entire review or full on evaluation about what you liked about it. just one thing, I want you to throw out there 1 thing you liked about it.

>>160617333
Maybe the fact that it actually got to air after all the tumults it went is what made me like it? But like I said, I'm an idiot and I like bad things. Anyways, point is that the last time they tried to do a real horror anime it sucked.

>>160617278
I think you have a too negative opinion of yourself, and misunderstanding of what a "contrarian" is. A contrarian is someone who seeks out and forces themselves to sit through stuff that everyone else hates just so they can stand out and act superior. If you geuinely enjoyed something, you're not a contrarian, you're just someone who genuinely enjoyed something. And given that you genuinely enjoyed it, you should be able to defend your opinion isntead of just insulting yourself.

We just need some crazy genious asshole who can adapt a junji ito manga well

>>160617536
that's a fair reason. it has nothing to do with "being an idiot", there was something about it that caught your attention like I said. I love b movies because despite how bad they are a team of people got together and made their best effort at being serious at what they probably could tell was a ridiculous script. it's all taste and you like it for a reason.

>>160618127
I haven't seen it, but what exactly about it is Lovecraftian? It just looks really standard monster girl SoL from the promo material.

>>160618127
I really want to know how it qualifies as a lovecraft anime. I've only skimmed over the manga so I'm asking legitimately here.
>>160618087
most of lovecrafts stories if not all of them were not even about the person experiencing them. even the one about the guy who found out he had amazon monkey blood or something wasn't realy about him since that was only mentioned in the last bit of the story.

Shiki and Infinite Ryvius are horror in a human vs. human/human-like being kind of way and they're very effective in that regard.

>>160618231
>>160618254
There are creatures working in the background behind every major incident, trying to influence public opinion and steering the world on their ideal path.

Centaur's Worries reads as "a simulation of what would happen in a world where every crackpot conspiracy theory were true"

>>160618897
sounds like some kind of shadow politics far before it sounds like lovecraft regardless of if its a good story or not.

>>160619079
ah hey I tried going through that blind as my first vn. probably a mistake since I hit one bad end and Have no idea where along the path I got myself sucked into it.

>>160619112
Just read a guide, it could've been a better detective game but some assumptions only work through flat elimination and that's only because it's a restricted cast, forcing you to be quite gamey with the setting. I'd recommend trying Cartagra first, it sets the stage for everything in KnS.

>>160611706
it would be shit, and pointless since his works isnt really about seeing things. and for it to actually be a faithful adaptation of lovecraft, it would be slow as shit and people would get bored

Human Centipede has a manga, they could do an anime of that to gauge the horror interest.

>>160619166
I'll give that a shot, I felt I got myself in too deep starting with KnS, but I really liked the atmosphere overall. Also Revealing where I got my bad end, I cant remember the names since its been a while but I entered the clinic med room and saw the girl I just knew everything was bad. I know its hard without names but I saw her and knew everything was about to go to shit and from that moment on I had no control to back out.

I wonder if simply redrawing a horror film with an anime style but leaving everything else unchanged would work

beyond the mountains of madness is probably my favorite but when I try to think "how can this work in any other format" it just doesn't make sense. I mean it was basically a book about architecture being described so if you made it visual you'd ruin it and people probably wouldn't have the patience with a story that is 80 percent descriptions
>>160619312
I'll probably have to do this, but that first run even if I got killed it was really cool stumbling around.

>>160619288
Ah, yeah, that's one of the possible bad ends. There's quite a couple but as a rule of thumb, if you fuck in those games you die, and your partner ends up killed more often than not as well, so ironically enough you want to avoid getting too attached to anyone in that game, you're a detective trying to solve a mystery, and the game rewards you for that by shedding more light upon the entire story.
Some of the bad ends are ridiculously gruesome and the build-up to them is fantastic, I recommend getting all of them as they all hint towards the correct path in the story.
[spoilers]The one thing I hate about the game is how you have to play it twice to get the true end, so be ready to hold down CTRL eventually.[/spoiler]

Thank you kind anons. Christ, that image probably made the board immensely unbearable to comprehend. It's truly some of the worst images to analyze without knowing the context.

You should see the video where it came from and notice the eyes still move and blink deep down in those holes

I'd like to think it might be a defense mechanism in your body so as not to catch the same thing, but I could be wrong.

is that some kind of edgy fanfiction? They save the dog, you retard

Umineko chapter 1. Read that without checking the synopsis, completely blind. Thought it was just a fun family vacation but shit went south.

I think there's a biological aversion for the majority of people to tons of small holes in general, but it being on a skin-like surface just makes it even stronger.

Creating true horror is probably the hardest style of filmmaking. Everything has to be just right to get people sucked into it and then their own imagination can create the horror. Also, what people would find scary depends on the person so you're always going to disappoint some people. I thought that the beginning of Human Centipede was great horror. When the guy is giving his powerpoint presentation about what is going to happen. But then it turns into a comedy when rest of the movie is him training his centipede. The movie would've been more effective if they had just left it that and not really created the human centipede. The thought of getting turned into the human centipede was more horriffic than actually seeing it. The imagination of the audiance already more powerful than the most horrible thing you can show on the screen so don't bother. Just create the right conditions for us to imagine it. This is just my opinion though. Some hipster filmstudent might think different.

Was the anime good?

>>160624013
Gore Porn with Jump Scares.
Not actually scary

>>160624013
Which version is best?

The only two times I felt scared by an anime episode were episode 22 of Onisama e... and a small section of episode 12 of FAG.

I think the problem is that it's hard to draw scary things, so it's better to not show, but not showing is damn hard and requires a lot of skills.

Jumpscares are cheap, but effective for s shitter like me.

>>160624013
But that's a walking simulator and not scary.

Another was really tense. the cassette player scene was top notch.
Judge me all you want. it was brilliant.

>>160609049
If I want to see horror I just go to /d/.

Because in order to feel fear you must first have a soul, which is something nips lack.

Did Miyazaki just accuse an AI developer of ableism?

>>160611162
didn't something similar happen to a diver?

and they found his remains splattered miles away?

>I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself
What, has this guy never seen a horror movie in his life? "HURR DURR MY FRIEND IS CRIPPLED THEREFORE ALL SCARY THINGS SHOULD BE ERASED." What a fucking autist.

because drawings can't be scary like regular movies/tv shows

our fear receptors react more to "real" images

>>160609450
why is the dog a nigger in the manga

If that was true then a lot of other anime wouldn't work either, except they do.

>tumblr teens can't parse basic criticism for bad animation.
No wonder your animation industried died if these are your standards, america.

I remember foggily reading that horror tends to be more aimed at girls in Japan. I can't find the article now but I think it's not as cross demographic in Japan as it is in the West. Forgive me if I'm wrong about this. My memory isn't the best these days.

>>160633669
Found an article that may explain a demographic shift.

That sounds more like illuminati politics stuff rather than Lovecraft, Lovecraft always have this sense of the Thing not ever giving a fuck but you end up getting fucked anyway.

>>160619376
Mountain of Shoggoth fuckery would bore people to tears if it is to be animated, coming from someone who really like it. 30% percent of it is about the professor who found those Elder Ones and got offed offscreen, 60% of it about architecure, 9% of it is about how shit is really weird and only 1% of it is about the Shoggoths. If people could complain about MiA being slow I dread what they would think about that.

>>160619453
Yami Shibai is pretty damned goofy, it's like watching one of those pre-2000 B Movie Martian invasion spook flicks.

>>160628962
Is this show heresy? It looks like heresy.

>>160629273
Sure you're not mistaking tension for excitement? That's pretty much the only thing people look for in Final Destination flicks, people dying to crazy shit.

I stand by my belief that Magnetic Rose is the only good dedicated horror anime.

Some series have good horror episodes, but those are usually found in series that don't focus on horror specifically.

>>160634578
>Sure you're not mistaking tension for excitement
nope, I really got scared during the that playback. the ending really is not that important to me, but the build up to that point was brilliant for me.

I can understand, I guess. The very early parts of Another does build suspense pretty nicely. Shame it throws it all away by utterly goofy execution.

>>160631177
there was a guy who was sucked into one last year but he survived.

>>160631177
I don't remember that instance, but I do remember Byford Dolphin.

Jesus fuck that was horrfying, at least it was supposedly instantenous,

>>160610665
I'm still confused. What was the point of showing him this video? The "zombie" element was completely retarded.

All they did was take unrelated and underdeveloped research about A.I. locomotion and superimpose a zombie skin on the models. It's like they were trying to desperately shoehorn in some way to make it relevant to visual media.

>>160636868
Basically they're selling tech that isn't ready yet. The AI can do something strange and they're trying to shoehorn it into a product to sell prematurely. If they really want to make a machine that can draw like a human can they're a far way off from completing it and it was a mistake to try to get Miyazaki on board with a half finished mess that it was. They're probably desperate for capital and had some connections to the wrong people.
