What are the greatest Dark Anime?

Dark and intelligent Sci-fi anime are by far my favourite anime, or really any show at all, live action or not. Im trying to put a list together of "all" of them so I can know which I havent seen and check them out. I'll Kick off the list, but hopefully you gall can fill in the gaps: Akira Cowboy Bebop Serial Experiments Lain Evangelion Psycho Pass Steins; Gate Ergo Proxy Darker than Black Tokyo Ghoul Deadman Wonderland Elfen Lied Ghost in the Shell (original Movie... I havent seen any others) Full Metal Alchemist (sort of the PG version of Dark but still...) Black Bullet EDIT 1: [quote] Parasyte Death Note Attack on Titan Dollhouse (live action) Neon Genesis Evangelion Texhnolyze Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Bokurano Blue Gender .hack//Sign RahXephon Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor [/quote] EDIT 2: [quote] Madoka Magica Haibane Renmei (starts off pretty happy, but its totally different by the end) Another Higurashi Future Diary/Mirai Nikki Monster [/quote]

    Lain, Ergo Proxy, and Texhnolyze are the only anime up there that I'd consider dark. We have a collection of shows up there that have dark elements, sure. Bokurano is a good example, I love that show. It's bleak or hopeless, but not necessarily dark. AoT inspires more hope to me than it does a dark atmosphere. Cowboy Bebop is an overall chill show with sad elements. Tokyo Ghoul is kind of closer, but I dunno. Steins;Gate was crushing, but again, I don't know if I'd call it dark. Ghost in the Shell is another one that I'd say was dark. This mislabeling bothers me because I can't find good shows within the genre without someone recommending otherwise typical anime that have [i]some[/i] disturbing scenes, or what the hell moments, or what-have-you. I don't search for gore or disturbing scenes, it's about atmosphere. That being said, I know what you're trying to do here, I just felt like ranting a bit. So my recommendation for the list: Monster.
