Supernatural?  Supernatural?!

Hellsing, of course :D

Manga, though.
Well if we're going that route, there's also Berserk. It's undoubtedly far more disturbing than Hellsing, though.

I'll add Blade of the Immortal, then, because I remember that hitting pretty high on my disturbing charts.  Uh, and I really, really love that manga.

Just try to power your way through episode 4. It gets better. A lot better, in my opinion.
Better? Around episode 4?

You want a larger list, try asking us what show's/manga we've picked up but for some reason or another haven't gotten around to finishing yet. ;p

For anime I'll say Darker than Black is always a good place to start, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood works too I guess but you should check out the source manga too.  Neon Genesis Evangelion might too if you like that stuff.  For manga I would always recommend anything Naoki Urasawa touches (or watch the anime :P), anything Satoshi Mizukami touches, Liar Game, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, and Shin Angyo Onshi are good.  For the even more adventurous, some good visual novels are the Ace Attorney series as well as the When They Cry series (or watch the anime :P).  For light novels there's Suzumiya Haruhi (or watch the anime :P), Toaru Majutsu no Index (or watch the anime :P), and Baccano! (or watch the anime :P) although you'll probably just watch the anime.

:\



Oh look, volume 2 of Index got translated by Baka-Tsuki.  Yah, that means I can read almost the whole series now.

Man I didn't like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time at all, if you want a better one watch Summer Wars.

I feel the opposite way too.

The Girl That Leapt Through Time got a lot of praise but I don't really know why.  Most of the reviews said it looks really nice which was true but so does Summer Wars since they're the same animation studio.  TGTLTT was pretty dull for me the whole way through but at least Summer Wars had an interesting story for me.  I was probably expecting something more with the time travel and not caring for the romance aspect at all, the comedy was good though hehe.  Summer Wars reminded me of the Digimon movie Our War Game too except with FAMILY and NOSE BLEEDS.  :P

Hmmm, was just about to watch Summer Wars myself...I find it more "eye catching". Oh, which version of Saikano do you guys recommend? the anime adaptation or the manga?
I'll add Blade of the Immortal, then, because I remember that hitting pretty high on my disturbing charts.  Uh, and I really, really love that manga.
That reminds me....I was reading that years ago but stopped. Now I have no Idea where to start again.

Oh, well. And now for something completely different...

Definitely manga.  The anime adaptation is Gonzo and very strong, but I feel that it really just works better as a manga.

This is a very good question.  What manga is that?
