Alright, /co/, I wanna get scared and depressed. What, in your opinion, is the piece of western animated media that best expresses the ideas and themes of Grimdark? Comics are fine, too, but I'm really looking for animated stuff.

I'd cast my vote for pic related. Rewatched it recently and it's just as distressing as the first time I saw it. Probably the best thing to come out of the franchise.

>inb4 it's not animated by a western animation studio so it's not muh /co/

If The Boondocks is /co/, so is this.

Also, I should mention, I'm looking for overtly Grimdark shit. Yeah, the Land of Ooo might just be post apocalyptic Earth and everyone in Hey Arnold! might be fucked up members of a disenfranchised urban generation, but I want that shit up front.

That whole sequence fucked me up badly as a child. I still feel so uneasy and awkward looming at it. I can watch rekt threads all day but that still fucks me badly

Same, man. It's honestly some of the most horrifying shit I've seen to this day.

The part where they're poking around in the guy's brain and he goes from laughing to sobbing, all at nothing? Awful. It's a combination of an horrific situation and the realization that that's all anything we've ever felt is, just electro-chemical reactions in our brain.

It's fucked, man. It's that feeling of horror I've been chasing since then.

How about the episode "Thanatophobia" from Aeon Flux?

Never got around to watching that show and everything I've read about it made me kind of feel like avoiding it. Sell me on the episode.

Is there any animated /co/ material that pulls its visual style from HR Giger?

Certainly not horror, but Don Hertzfeldt's World of Tomorrow can give you a pretty similar feeling if that's more important than the horror aspect.
>>
Animatrix doesn't freak me out anymore.
I think it's because they're robots dissecting people.

People doing experiments like that to other people, that's the truly scary thing and it has happened
>>
>>86830277
I mean, The Second Renaissance, but that's more because the Wachowski's did first and it's set in their world. Other than that, none that I can think of. But I'd like to see it if there is.

Ok, well, I'm feeling something, but it's mostly just amused.

Go back to your capes if you don't want to think about what you watch.

OP here, just finished this. Really really good, thanks for the recommendation. Certainly not the typical interpretation of Grimdark, but Grimdark all the same.

Also, quite funny.

>>86830364
Eh, Spawn is ok, but it's more fun 90's edgy than anything.

That line is 1) about 30 seconds into the film and 2) meant to be fucking funny. I though people with autism were supposed to be smart?

>>86830629
Suuuuuuuper sad and really well animated, but it's not really grimdark, is it?
>>
Obligatory list
>Plague Dogs
>Watership Down
>When the Wind Blows
>Felidae

There's also the animated Heavy Metal movies, an old anime called Ringing Bell, and Ralph Bakshi's Wizards.

There's an asian movie about a wolf and a lamb, that I forget the name of. The wolf kills the lamb's mother and the lamb follows the wolf around in order to one day become strong enough to kill it.

It's kinda sad what happens at the end. The lamb becomes a strong ram and becomes kin to the wolf. Eventually, after many years, the wolf circles back to the lamb's old herding spot, and tries to kill another mother sheep. The lamb takes up his role as a ram and protects the herd and fights the wolf to the death. In the end, the wolf dies and congratulates the grown lamb on his strength.

The herd however, still as meek as they ever were, are all terrified by the ram, and he ends up spending the rest of his life in isolation, like the wolf did.

Seen all that except When the Wind Blows, Felidae, and Ringing Bell. Wind sounds pretty good.

There's a lot of comic stuff with the guys of Métal Hurlant/Heavy Metal (Jodorowsky, Moebius, Druillet, Bilal) which are more or less close of Giger work. Maybe some animated stuff made by them or adapted from their work can fit what you're looking for?
