CATDOLL: Japanese TV program reviews "the most shocking animation" as dark and depressing

Japanese animation works are not all so harmonious and pleasant. Many animations often give people an unexpected shock in the plot or ending. Recently, in a late-night program on Fuji TV, the guests were asked to recommend animations that make people feel "shocking". Unexpectedly, Makoto was on the list again.

No. 3: Invincible Superman Sambot 3

As the story draws to a close, the main characters die one by one. This work is one of the reasons why the general director Tomino Yoshiyuki is called "Tomino who doesn't spare any lives (皆杀しの富野)". Tomino himself mentioned in an interview with Tokyo Shimbun that after the final episode was broadcast, the faces of sponsors and advertising companies turned green.

No. 2: School Days

This work is really powerful in terms of impact. It has the most scumbag male protagonist, and in the end the girls who like him are either dead or crazy... The model Ichikawa Saya, who is famous for being a professional otaku, also said very directly: The protagonist Makoto is an unbelievable scumbag!

The final "Nice Boat" is also a classic. At that time, the TV station urgently stopped broadcasting the animation and replaced it with a picture of a yacht, which just echoed the plot of the last episode.

No. 1: The Legend of the Giant God King of Eden

In fact, "Legend of the Titans Eden" and "Invincible Superman Sambot 3" are both considered the two major animations of Tomino's legend. The death of all the characters in the end and their collective ascension to heaven brought an unforgettable shock to the audience. It also laid the foundation for Tomino's big bald head "murderer".

In fact, these three animations really don’t just make people feel “sad”, it’s no exaggeration to say that they are dark and depressing animations. Of course, there are indeed quite a few such animations, but TV shows don’t have so many of them. However, these three works can definitely be called classics, and I still don’t recommend that you watch them if you have nothing to do...
