Not much into pure horror I suppose. I like to have a dabble of other things, mainly psychological, but psychological to a point though. Series like Homunculus and Parasyte just creep me out to no end but ones like Tokyo Ghoul, are just fine. Terra ForMars has a lot more than just death and horror so it is superb. The scientific side is appealing and the largely elaborate anatomical detail really sets it apart from usual horror anime and the realistic art that isn't trying to be forcefully horrific(like Parasyte) is also good. I loled so hard at the initial TV version's censoring(they just covered the destroyed heads with a black ball). Best part was the release of the uncensored almost as quick. The funny and somewhat annoying thing was that people were put off from watching/reading it simply for the cockroaches. I kill cockroaches the moment I see them as much as the next guy, but that just made the series more interesting. I think it has something to do with the terrible kids' show 'Oggy and the Cockroaches' which establishes in a way "animated cockroaches = unwatchable" Some say the cockroaches are depicted in a racist way, but meh, that's nothing new in manga. You see that kind of thing from slice-of-life to fantasy.
