Top 10 Bloodiest Fights in Anime

We hope you have a strong stomach But hey, you did click on the video, and hopefully it wasn’t just to complain about the use of dubbed series. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we are counting down our picks for our Top 10 Bloodiest Anime. For this list we are limiting the list to only series, so films like “Ninja Scroll” are out, plus that arguably porno anyway. We’re ranking these series by how good they are, as well as how much blood and gore they contain, so these series need a good mix of quality to blood ratio.

Kicking off our list is some graphic cyberpunk violence. This OVA series tells different stories centred around the “Genocyber”, the ultimate biological weapon. The series is notable for its graphic depiction of blood and gore, as it holds nothing back as everyone dies within an explosion of blood and entrails. There is not just violence to people, as Genocyber destroys everything in its path with a fiery vengeance. Stay the hell out of Genocyber’s way.

What happens when you die? If you are in the world of “Gantz”, you become undead big game hunters who are forced to kill aliens in the hopes of earning a second chance at life. The world of “Gantz” doesn’t skip out on the violence and nudity, as the series isn’t afraid to maim or kill any character. In this world no one is safe, as major characters can be brutally killed off at any moment so make sure you stay glued to the screen. Just like the rules of Fight Club, don’t talk about Gantz, unless you want your head to explode that is.

Because many of the characters in this series have the power to manipulate their blood, you know things are bound to get messy. The story follows Ganta, a high school student who is sentenced to death at the Deadman Wonderland prison theme park after he is framed for the murder of his entire class. There, Ganta learns to weaponize his blood to fight in the arena against others with his power. Blood is continuously spilled, as these members fight, sometimes to the death, each manipulating their blood in unique and interesting ways.

We follow pure-blood Chiropteran Saya who hunts and destroys the monstrous abominations that feed on ordinary humans. There is plenty of human death and monster death to keep fans satisfied, and when Saya goes into berserker mode, nobody is safe from her rampages.

Only the best martial artists can defeat their foes from within, and that where all the squish bits are anyway. Set in the near future after a nuclear apocalypse, we explore the story of master martial artist Kenshiro as he struggles to survive in the wasteland. Kenshiro is a master of a deadly martial arts style that allows him to brutally murder his foes via internal vital points. This amps up the violence even more, causing many enemies to explode as they die with all their juicy internal organs ending up on the outside of their bodies.

Top 20 Anime That Are TOO Edgy

Need a twisted psychological horror with plenty of blood and death? Look no further. Telling the story of seven individuals living in a small rural village, our ‘heroes’ get wrapped up in a murder mystery that occurs once every four years. While the plot may be confusing as hell, it allows for many of the characters to be tortured and die in the most painful ways possible. Nobody is safe in this show, and the rules of good and evil do not apply here, everyone is fair game and nothing is considered too over the top.

#4: “Berserk” (1997)

Guts; known as the Black Swordsman, Hundred-Man Slayer and the Berserk Knight is one of the strongest and most formidable swordsmen in anime and he fights completely without remorse. In this dark fantasy classic, we follow Guts as he joins the mercenary group the Band of the Hawk and helps them battle it out in some of the, ummm, ‘meatiest’ fights in anime history. Guts may not be the only mercenary with something to prove, but no man alive can match his ferocity, body count or flair for over the top killing. How does he even lift that massive sword you ask? It doesn’t matter when the results are so spectacular.

#3: “Another” (2012)

If you’ve learned on thing buy now, it’s that school and no one of school going age is safe. The horror series ‘Another’, follows a cursed classroom and the mysterious deaths of the students who study there. Getting killed off final destination style is becoming something the characters in this series just… kinda learn to live with. This isn’t just limited to the students however, as one of the teachers commits suicide in one of the most spectacular and horrifying death scenes found in anime. Are you not entertained?

Make way for the vector killing queen Nyu! (soundbite of nyu being cute). Wait, sorry, Lucy! (soundbite of Lucy doing something violent). Good girl. In Elfen Lied we follow the Diclonius Lucy as she escapes from her captivity and attempts to hid herself among normal human beings. While the things that make this series truly great are it’s explorations of innocence, human nature and abuse, the blood is impossible to ignore. If you have any reservations towards mature content you may have a hard time seeing past the red, but those who do will find something worth talking about on every level. Before we bloody up our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “Attack on Titan” (2013, 2015-) “Claymore” (2007) “Corpse Party” (2012-15) “High School of the Dead” (2010) “Tokyo Ghoul” (2014-15)

You can’t have a good vampire story without blood, and Hellsing Ultimate pushes the supernatural violence to the maximum. In this OVA series we follow the vampire king Alucard and the rest of the Hellsing organization as they protect England and brutally kill a lot of Nazis. The monsters don’t hold back and neither do Alucard and his prodigy Seras Victoria, who defend humanity with, shall we say, extreme prejudice. If your looking for action and blood, or just a phenomenally entertaining and clever series, look no further than Hellsing: Ultimate. Do you agree with our list?
