I'm a big Junji Ito fan, but I haven't really found any good anime that come close to matching the creepiness of his manga stories, including that one Junji Ito anime series that's out there. I think the closest I've seen is Mononoke, though honestly I haven't seen a ton of anime, so maybe I'm missing something. I thought I'd ask to see what you all might suggest in terms of genuinely creepy/unsettling/dark anime movies or series, either similar to Ito's stuff or whatever else you think is good.
Any suggestions?
Shinsekai yori / From the New World
I have never heard of this. What’s it about, just curious?
These kids live in a peaceful pastoral town where everyone has psychic powers. Something is very off about the world they live in, and you slowly learn more about how off it is and how it got that way.
It's kind of hard to give a non-spoiler summary of it, because the status quo gets completely destroyed roughly every four episodes.
