"Anime isn't usually the go-to form of media for horror lovers. Anime excels at action, comedy, romance, and a ton of other genres, but it traditionally struggles with horror. For one reason or another, horror anime just isn't anywhere near as prevalent as horror movies or games. Even some of the best horror anime aren't seen as pure horror.
Maybe that's the charm of horror anime, though. Perhaps it provides a unique experience that other forms of media don't really provide, especially those with that uniquely Japanese edge. Regardless, the greatest of these horror anime definitely still have some spine-chilling moments, with some of them counting among the greatest shows across the whole medium."
