It’s October and that means it’s time to get into the spirit of the season, and obviously nothing gets you into the Halloween mood better than horror. Unfortunately when it comes to most live-action horror films, there’s only so much that can be done and shown, but thankfully of all things, Anime can cross the line with story, gore, and intriguing storytelling. So for every day this month, I’ll be featuring a unique Anime that fits the horror genre that you can most likely find on any streaming service. Today we’ll be looking at Requiem from the Darkness.
Requiem from the Darkness (2003), also known as The Wicked and the Damned: A Hundred Tales of Karma, follows a young writer who wants to write a book of a hundred ghost stories as he travels around Japan, on his journey he encounters a trio of supernatural good doers that bring karmic justice to those deserving.
The art style of this anime is unique with its bold colors, backgrounds, character designs, and violence with some of the story’s contents not being for the faint of heart as some tales are pretty graphic.
