No you wont have hordes of zombies and the characters are better and it will have some comedy...
But its an interesting genre, its different from shiki, thats for sure...

The black and white ink of manga usually get me into the mood for horror stories more than anime, because colorful color usually make you feel peace...

I'm not saying Shiki is bad, but imo the anime drawing style isn't suitable for a serious horror story. I haven't watched anime Monster, but i had read the manga, and I think if Shiki was drawn with those kind of styles, it would be a lot better.

djisas · Jul 17, 2010

Have you watched higurashi no naku koru ni??
You wont find cutter characters, not even shiki's characters are that moe or cute, rika was just a lovely loli, but when they get serious you will get scared of little girls for the rest of your life...

I like the character design of shiki, it contrasts with the awesome backgrounds...
Some ppl like more the straight horror action HSOTD can provide than more complex stories and with more color to them...

kid41212003 · Jul 17, 2010

I haven't watched that, closest I could think of is probably Mirai Nikki, lol.

I've just finished watching episodes 1 and 2 of Shiki and Occult Academy. Shiki is a completely new style for me, but I'm liking it. I agree with kid though, horror works best with black and white manga. But let's see how it goes.

Occult accademy is like a Japanese anime version of tomb raider in my opinion. Mixes the paranormal with a kick-ass main character. Think I'm going to love this one.

You do, and check out this cool occult suspense anime called ghost hunt...

KieX · Jul 17, 2010

Since I'm building up a new list of anime to watch right now, is there anything else like Berserk?

djisas · Jul 17, 2010

There might, i haven't watched that or read, but there's claymore, i think it might be somewhat close to it...
Cant be of further help...
You can check on the orb, mb on my recommendations there's something...

Cold Storm · Jul 17, 2010

Maybe something on the page.. Chrono Crusade.. It's not as "DARK" as the other two but still nice.. Trinity Blood was nice.

djisas · Jul 18, 2010

for some badass action, cat hit one
KieX this will help you build your new list: http://www.animeorb.info/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7202

Anyone looking forward to what they will do with the Dragon Age Anime?

Also Heroman sucks.

Cold Storm · Jul 18, 2010

I've only watched the episode 1-3 of Heroman. I probably won't think its bad due to the factor of it being around a old comic. That has my soft spot for it..

I watched the first 3 episodes of Legend of the Legendary Heroes. It's not that bad. I feel I'll be watching more of it. Just gotta go with Commie as fan subs..

Heroman is not based on an old comic book of any kind. There is a manga of the same name released last year. The only claim to fan was the production by Stan Lee business. The only funny part of the show is Stan Lee is in every episode I watched. Seeing anime Stan Lee was worth the wasted time.

I am currently watching Requiem of Phantom and the second act is much better than the first, but still a little stale.

Cold Storm · Jul 18, 2010

I could of swore that I read somewhere, when it started, that Bones took a old comic from Stan Lee and is now trying to modernize it.. But, knowing me I was wrong.

remixedcat · Jul 18, 2010

hey! something like fullmetal alchemist?! anything like it? I'm almost done with FMA:BH and I'd like to get more of that kinda thing later.

No Bones produced the manga and the anime that Stan Lee created. It was a pet project Stan wanted to try and Bones helped him make it a reality. Unfortunately, the anime was boring and just made no sense. It was...exactly what you think, an American with little to no knowledge of Japanese anime attempting to make an American cartoon as an anime. It is a bland, uninteresting story with massive plot holes and little to no explanation for anything that happens filled with 1 dimensional characters.

Stan Lee's Marvel characters were different and unique because he approached the matter with the intent to be different. This is why we get characters from Stan Lee like Spiderman, The Thing, Scorpion, several X-Men who actively try to get rid of their powers. His characters had emotional depth at a time in comics where everything was flat and 1 dimensional. He is the guy that took the very black and white world of comics and painted the whole thing Grey with help from Jack Kerby of course.

Then he went crazy and green lighted some terrible movie adaptations, created a piss poor reality show full of nuts, and now he seems to have IMO insulted anime by creating something just like the comics he is directly responsible for helping to kill.

Maybe I expected too much from it.

aka alchemy arms/arms alchemy. i quite enjoyed that show.

djisas · Jul 18, 2010

That is about the only thing that can get close to FMA while being a little different itself...
Watched assobi ni ep 2, there's a lot of shit going on in that anime, but if you ignore any misconception, its a lot of fun...
