Was on /a/, they were nice and helpful as usual.
I'm trying to figure out what a certain anime I watched once several years back was. It was fully dubbed, but I have no idea which publisher it would be.
All I specifically remember is a fight scene climax happening on what I'm pretty sure was an airship, at night-time, involving an antagonist who was trying to complete a transformation into a large humanoid monster. He had just reached a stage where he had tried growing a head for his nearly-finished body, and only had part of his face and torso left from his original human body. He was doing the usual slow-walk-with-monologue thing towards a female character who was sitting there scared out of her mind, and I think there was a male protagonist somewhere near trying to reach them in time to stop him. The evil guy was talking about needing to absorb her to get enough energy/flesh/whatever to complete his body.
It was a contemporary setting, with some sort of monster-like antagonist(s?) who were human (but were trying to become superhuman), and were not aliens or paranormal or the like. I'm pretty sure they had a specific name for the monster (e.g. golem, chimera, something simple along those lines).
I'm pretty sure it was mature; at least for teenagers, but considering it would have been a 90's series it was most likely filled with violence and blood all the way through. The guy had absorbed/eaten several background characters on the way.
I have far too little to go on to look for it myself, but I'd be grateful for even just a list of similar-sounding stories. Hell, I don't even know if this was anime-original or adapted from a manga.

That kind of sounds like Blood the Last Vampire (Animated Movie).

If not Blood the Last Vampire, it sounds really close to your description.

Forgot to ask is this something you watched online or did it air on TV?

I see how you mean (I've seen Blood far more recently and can remember most of it), but it was much older than that.
I said 90's, but it might even have been a late 80's one. It was on a VHS tape, so certainly nothing recent.
The antagonist was looking physically warped in the scene I can still remember, like pic related, and all visible skin was a dark red colour. The head I mentioned that he'd tried growing was sort of 'deflated' and unfinished.

Genocyber (1994)?

From what I've read online its considered really gory even for an anime.

It's certainly in the same vein and artstyle, but I'd have to watch all the episodes to say immediately.
Thanks anyway though, I'll have a watch

Unless the later episodes are vastly different, I'd say it probably wasn't this. I think I would have remembered the borderline non-existent plot, large number of inappropriately Brooklyn accents and strange old-sounding feral girl.
It was... it sure was something though
