I have run the Anime that scarred me for life panel for the last two years, I ran into a girl at Sakuracon who said I should do it every year at Kumoricon, and run it at Sakuracon also.
So I was wondering how many people liked the panel and would want to see it return?
The other thing is I need new suggestions for horrible shows to subject myself to, I don't mean badly drawn or English voices you hate. I mean a show that messed up your life, damaged your calm, made your pets leave you. Stuff like that.
So let me know what you think, either in this thread, PM me on this forum or email me through the link provided.
Thanks.
Beau.

Suggestions:
Ringing Bell (Sanrio's equivalent of Watership Down)
Saikano ("Hey man, I fixed your bike" "Geez thanks, now I can take my girlfriend on a date" bomb explosion)
I'd say End of Evangelion can be pretty scarring. Mezzo Forte could make your pets never love you again, especially if you don't know about a certain 2 scenes.

Suggestion:
"Mind Game"
That was the weirdest, funniest anime I have ever seen in my life. You literally have no idea what is going to happen next. Compared to "Mind Game," FLCL made perfect sense.

reigh need i say more?
-
Ive never made it to the panel but was aiming for it this year so yes please, again!
-
Its not anime, but Audition is a freaky J-horror that will screw you up pretty bad.
An anime, Le Portrait de Petit Cossette is really f-ed up. kinda like Lain creepy feeling, but set in a Victorian lolitaish world.

I don't think any anime has scarred me..I'm curious to see these ones you all are talking about now.. <.<
-
Yeah, I'm with Trumby on this. None have really scarred me that badly. However, if the focus on this could include really crappy anime that pissed us off, "Plastic Little" did that for me. However, it does have a fair amount of tit action, so I don't know if you'll want to show it.
-
Narutaru is kinda scarring... It's got a brightly colored kid's show feel, kinda Pokemon-esque. Right up until the sudden gore fest and rape scene (nothing's shown very graphically, but it's more than explicit).

HAH!!! I remember that anime! Plastic Little! LOL!! :lol: SOOO MUCH BOOBAGE!!! And I watched this back when Hollywood video was my anime source when I was like 8, LOL. Great kids movie. :P
-
Puni Puni Poemy was kind of a WTF!? anime for me.
-
Psh... The End of Evangelion alone? Please. The entire series will screw with you and, if I remember correctly, has literally scarred people for life. Series should come with a label like medicine and energy drinks come with. Something like "Not recommended for people with a frail grasp of reality and a recurring theme of emotional, nervous and mental breakdown/s. Consult your doctor before use."
On a more serious and somber note, that series REALLY effed me up, so seriously guys... It HAS to be apart of that panel.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Oh don't worry Yamcha, Eva is a pretty big part of that panel, I think that's the show when I said the Name everyone groaned because of their shared pain, any other panel and something like that would be bad. :)
-
I should do a panel sometime about the themes and motifs in Eva, because once you understand it, it ceases to haunt you. At least it did for me.

its not that reign is scary it just makes you eyes bleed
-
Seconding Evangelion. I was in bed for a week. D:
-
Jigoku Shoujo is really freaky.
Also Monster, I had to stop watching that because I didn't want to loose my sanity.
-
aaah, yes. Among my college friends we called this "getting mind-f*cked."
This applied to me in the following shows that others have mentioned:
Eva (JUST the movie though, I was fine with the rest)
FLCL
Abenoboshi Mahou Shoutengai
and
Tenshi ni Narumon (I marathoned this off crappy, shakey VHS tapes from ep 18 to ep26. I think I ate sometime in there, but I'm really not sure.)
Higurashi no koro ni (title subject to me remembering it right. Also, let's hear it for shows where the main character horribly dies and you say, "again?")
Sorcerer Hunters scarred me, but in a good way. A "Holy cow, can they DO that?!" way.
Hah, I saw the opening to Hellsing without knowing what it was. That'll screw you up something good!
-
LAIN.....
-
I know this is a really old thread, but "Tomie" - the manga.
ew
ew
ew
and more freaky ew.
But I liked it on some level.
But I had to get it out of the house, so I gave it to a friend.

It would be awesome to get a copy of the movie to screen as a midnight movie.
-
Digimon Tamers. It didn't scar me personally, but imagine Lain combined with EVA, with a demon biker impaling a lion with his fist.
If you're in the target audience, that'll leave a mark on your young impressionable mind.
-
Serial Experiments Lain... That show is just like... Wow...
Red Garden
Earth Girl Arjuna is pretty creepy too...
And there is some really mentally scarring stuff in Kino no Tabi... But I like my mental scars from Kino. XD Yeah, episode 12 immediately comes to mind.

Blackjack, if you can still find it in stores, I recommend reading the manga "Shadow Star." It's like Digimon but with a more grown-up feel to it. (There's death, blood, I'm pretty sure someone gets impaled in first manga....)
-
The whole series is kinda weird, but I'm focusing on Episode 26, of Excel Saga. THIS scarred me, because it was the summer after my 7th grade, with my young 'innocent' mind, at my friend's house, and they put the DVD in and it was the first episode of Excel Saga I actually saw. That, my friends, is why you keep certain things you can show on TV restricted <_<;
So what I'm trying to say, in a rather round-about way, yes, I'd like to see this panel at K-Con XD; It'd be fun to hear what others have to say.
-
Magikano. It's a very good ecchi comedy...that is, until the last episode. It shows just how much a series can be ruined by a single episode, and it has completely destroyed my ability to hope for any series to have a decent ending. I just can't rule out the possibility that whatever I'm watching might end up like Magikano...
-
Hah, I saw the opening to Hellsing without knowing what it was. That'll screw you up something good!
Ah yes Hellsing...I read the manga and I was like WHOA! I still enjoy reading it... guilty pleasure. >.>
I remember my first Yaoi manga, caught me completely by surprise so I guess it might count...
and the one manga that scared me was Angel Sanctuary... I don't mind any 'forbidden' love stories but incest, ya that I stear clear of. I thought it was going to be a cool gothic romance story, but instead...ugh.
