All the horror anime I've watched have been sadly pretty lacking; being either not scary at all or purely shock value. I'm looking for something that's neither of those, I want a genuinely scary narrative that doesn't rely on jumpscares or gore to be scary (I'm fine with them as long as that's not the main element of the show.) Any recommendations welcome!
gate: thus the jsdf fought there is a horrifying story of imperialist expansion and war against an "inferior" foe. the invading and occupying force engaging in sex trafficking (the ambassador marries a 12 year old and the figurehead of the invasion owns a sex slave), mowing down indigenous forces by the tens of thousands, forcing the government to negotiate at gunpoint and flooding their markets with cheap goods to crush their labor force
the scariest part is the creators think all this stuff is cool and good, and that it was used as a real recruitment ad for the jsdf
one of her servants is named beefeater
what the fuck
it's one of those shows where you watch it and think maybe the only way to fix things is with a time machine and a gun
