Prepare to cover your eyes, because this is a list of the bloodiest anime ever made. Sure, a lot of anime has some violence in it, but these shows will really gross you out with torn limbs, spewed blood, and whatever else you can think of.
People are eaten alive in bloody anime or action anime TV shows like Attack on Titan. Doesn’t that sound like a good time? If so, you should watch these anime, as they can be quite violent and bloody.
Before committing to an entire series, try a few out. These are possibly the most jarring anime available today, but if you think a television show is missing, you can let me know in the comments.

Can Shinji muster the courage to confront the parasites and defend humanity? And what difference would it make if he did?

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (2016)
During the Industrial Revolution, a mysterious virus appears that transforms infected humans into Kabane and rapidly spreads. Kabane are vicious undead creatures that cannot be defeated unless the glowing golden heart, which is protected by an iron layer, is pierced or an important body part is completely severed (such as the head). Unfortunately, most melee weapons and the bushi’s steam-powered guns are ineffective against them.
People on the island nation Hinomoto have built fortress-like “stations” to protect themselves from these creatures. People use fortified steam locomotives to access the stations and transport goods between them.
A hayajir hijacked by the kabane crashes into Aragane Station one day, and they take over the city. A young engineer named Ikoma takes advantage of the opportunity to successfully test his anti-kabane weapon, the “piercing gun,” but becomes infected in the process, though he manages to resist the virus and evolves into a Kabaneri, a human-kabane hybrid. Ikoma and the other survivors of the station board a hayajir named Ktetsuj, aided by Mmei, another Kabaneri who appears to help them, and depart to seek shelter elsewhere, fighting hordes of kabane along the way.

Though the Night Raid members are all experienced killers, they understand that taking lives is not something to be proud of and that they will almost certainly face retribution as they mercilessly eliminate anyone who stands in the way of the revolution.
Tatsumi, the newest member of this merry band of assassins, is a naive boy from a remote village who had embarked on a journey to help his impoverished hometown and was won over not only by Night Raid’s ideals, but also by their resolve.
