Why is the horror genre in manga/anime so shit?

Why is the horror genre in manga/anime so shit?

Only Itou Junji is decent, the rest are not fucking scary and laughable as fuck.

Because cartoons aren't scary.

/thread

Because you can take them at your own pace, and unlike books, they don't leave things to the imagination.

...

>Itou Junji
>decent
>not shit like the rest

Isn't ito entry level? When anyone talks about spooky manga he's the first thing that pop up

>entry level
Stop being such a weak-willed, limp-wristed faggot.

Anyways, there aren't that many decent spooky manga artists, so of course the decent ones are mentioned more frequently.

It's always so shit because we know we'll eventually masturbate to the scary characters and it then stops becoming scary and more sexy

>OP image

That series was such a fucking let down

i found jitsu wa pretty scary despite being comedy and all

I find most of the horror genre in any medium to be pretty shit.

does junji ito regularly pump a new series?
havent been catch up with his work since uzumaki
his twitter post indicated that he is travelling and taking pic of a cathedral?

Junji ito isn't scary either though. Sure the stories are decent and interesting but scary? I wouldn't go that far. Mainly because this . Its especially hard in a manga / novel form.

reverse search give me noting so can you tell me what series is it?

What, hundreds of copies of the same image tagged "Gore Anime" didn't help you?

hard to do jump scare with only static picture user

Horror is comedy for adults anyway.

Tell me, OP. Do you have a little sister?

I'd say that's not so much "fear" as it is "dread".

Your to smart for horror anime.

SPOOKY

What now?

Once I finished Ito's work I was hooked and then the cold realization came that there isn't other shit like it really. The best I can find is bizarre or interesting but not really spooky. And even that is hard to find without it being shit.

And so, I have merely given in to solely CGDCT.

>Itou Junji
>the rest are not fucking scary and laughable as fuck.

Every single Junji thread leaves me in fucking tears.

Flying homeless people.
spaghetti people.
That guy under the house.
The guy in the chair.

His work is the physical manifestation of the "but who was phone?" meme.

To be fair horror is hard to pull off in any medium. When was the last good horror movie? Or book? Stephen King is a meme, his books ae not that great. And with movies, everyone overuses jumpscares, completely missing the point of horror. Anime either goes jump scares, or does something so ridiculous that it's hard to take seriously. Like Another.

>people still equate entry-level to shit
wew lad

>When was the last good horror movie?
Came out in 1982

meaning?

American Horror Story isn't scary, either.

Horror in general is shit, especially if you want to be scared. Everyone just applies the same feeling they got the few times in their life they genuinely were scared to their expectations of how something labelled "horror" should make them feel, but getting that much of a rush from anything is rare.

meaning his work is as laughable an non-scary as "the rest", as OP put it

the horror genre in any medium is extremely difficult to get right, and even then there will still be people who arent affected by it

did anyone make a horror vn yet?

>Why is the horror genre so shit*
Fix'd.

No, never, not a single one

He's entry level cause he's one of the best. After the bit with the snails in uzumaki I was anxious as shit for days

pretty tough to do since any good VN is based on decision making, while horror is based around following characters that make piss-poor decisions.

>Only Itou Junji is decent, the rest are not fucking scary and laughable as fuck.
Ito is not scary either, his works are mostly a hilarious black comedy with absurd body morphing and silly storylines.

Junji has unique ideas, but to me they lose their luster the further they go on. Take the fish one for example, interesting concept, however devolved into nothing more than shock horror with each page being more and more gruesome just for the sake of disgusting the readers rather than write something compelling

Maybe.

What game?

There are no scary anime/manga
>Only Itou Junji is decent
His stuff has some shock value but it becomes almost comedic after a bit.

Closest is psychological horror, "makes you think at night" stuff like Shiki, Texhnolyze, etc.

>psychological horror
That's probably what the whole genre should be. A good horror makes you terrified after you watched/read it, not during with cheap effects. A good idea for a horror is to take something close to real life and make that scary, so when next time you see it, you will feel uneasy. The simpler the concept that gets corrupted, the better.

The thing with horror is that you have to have a lot of meaningful, dramatic buildup to draw people in. A lot of people simply forgot how to write or don't put a lot of effort into their writing. You have to slowly drag the audience (and the characters themselves) away from their comfort zones, into a situation where they have to adapt and survive.
Modern media has trouble doing this. It tries really hard to make the characters and the story socially acceptable (how many times does the slut die first). There's also the trend of meeting the audience's expectations ahead of time instead of trying something new. It's simply a bad time to be a horror writer, unless you're just doing it in your spare time and giving it away for free.

Probably not a real game just made for the sake of this webm. But something like this could work well.

Actually managed to find it, Kimi to kanojo to kanoko no koi.
Sounds like a crazy game.

nigga horror isn't "scary" in films, video games, or literature either, if you're an adult you shouldn't find any fiction scary.

The point of horror is to fascinate and unsettle you.

Eh, I just enjoy horror for the unintentional humor and practical effects. Silly ass movies like Killer Klowns or Puppet Master are my shit.

When it comes to Manga I just read them when the premise looks amusing or interesting at least.

I really like scary shit but I'm a little bitch so I can't read or watch it.
Those Mayoiga episodes before they revealed what the monsters were scared the shit out of me.

Ever heard of another
This is the literally the only anime in existence that actually has a good story with some interesting and chilling elements which doesn't rely on unnecessary gore or cute girls killing cute girls.

Junji understands the medium and designs to exploit the medium
Other horror authors/artists design the story before taking the medium in mind
It's also why adaptation of Junji's stuff is difficult because it's so tied to how manga is presented

Almost got baited

It's not profitable so we only get mediocre authors that make them.
Ito junji is a rare exeption cause his works sell.

Kazuo Umezu is pretty good.
It's not really "scary" either (I doubt any work of fiction is really scary if you're past 13 yo) but it can be really unsettling.
Just read Baptism or Drifting Classroom.

Higurashi no naku koro ni

what bait?

i like the ones from Nakayama Masaaki like:
>Kouishou Radio
>Fuan no tane +
Ochazuke Nori genre is a best
also the "6000" manga from Koike Nokuto was awesome

>jumpscare
>scary
srsly fag

Because life is horrible enough, why would I want to read/watch it?

Only normalfags need horror to spice up their dull lives.

you guys are fucking dumb.

you dont know the definition of horror and the diference of terror.

horror is about something unpleasant, disgusting, terrifying. Terror is about scary shit, scare jump and this shit.

Horror = the sensation of WATCHING
Terror = the sensation PRE-WATCHING.

comics cant be about terror, they can only be about horror, and seriously, GIT GUD
