I see I didn't know there was a difference among them...there's a lot of things I don't know ^^
Elfen Lied....YES ! That was one of my very first....and what started the anime snowball o.O The other ones you mentioned I haven't hear of I'm afraid..I'm not the most updated or knowlegable person on many of these things....But I just finished watching End Of Evangelion, and I just startede watching Mirai Nikki.
I can tell you I'm not sure if it's guro I like...but I DO like it RAW, as in, I like the rawness of guro, but just not in a sexual way..I think eh. I think we do need our dose of rawness at the very least, cause thats just the way I am I guess. Why do I like it ??
You might probably find it interesting to talk to decalcomania about these especially, cause he would know afaik...
Btw what is the difference between the two ?
My fav anime I think has to be (even though some is written on my profile)
Elfen Lied, Ghost int he shell (1995), Higurashi no naku koro ni, Evangelion, Death Note....ah there are many more, but when it comes to this kinda thing, there are just so many factors that goes trough my head that modifies or changes the list....^^
