your a side charatcer in a bad/hard anime but you dont want to be in it, what anime would that be and what would you do? also you have all you knowlege of the anime you have watched.
Anything with magic, super powers, monsters, daemons, aliens tends to be terrifying from a common persons point of view. Parasyte is rather disturbing even for the main character. The only answer in that one seems to be go live alone in the woods / hope for a quick death vs being infected.
Overlord, if you’re lucky you’ll just be ruled over by monsters that treat Humans as “sheep” to be bred, sheared, & slaughtered. If not, you’ll be genocided by a cute little Elf, hee hee. Only hope is to find some way to be useful, and get converted into a monster.
So I tried watching Redo of Healer solely based on someone saying it was too disturbing to watch. As someone who doesn't normally enjoy any anime someone would describe that way, I still felt compelled to take the challenge.
The only thing I have previously watched that I'd call truly disturbing was Gantz - and that was awful, but still had a sort of "can't look away" vibe. (But once was enough.)
I made it a couple episodes into Redo of Healer and I'm not sure I can go on. The very first episode more or less shows you what happens to side characters (and sometimes main characters) in this world, and it's just chilling in the malevolence on display from the group in power. The protagonist is on a revenge arc, but despite what was done to him, he's immediately just as bad or worse than his tormentors were, so he's impossible to root for, and the story is centered around him.
I'm not at all certain I'll be finishing it, and nothing I've watched would be as awful for a side character. I'd rather be a common villager in Attack on Titan than any character at all, especially a side character, in Redo of Healer.
Plenty! Apart from the obvious horror stuff like Berserk, worlds where humans face constant threats of extinction by herculean threats like Evangelion or AoT (on Paradis, at least), or “society is gone” endtime settings like Dr. Stone, one that comes to my mind especially is Psycho Pass. I’d rather not spend life in an Orwellian dystopia, thanks.
On a side note: I think the world of Dragon Ball wouldn’t be half bad actually. Highly advanced technology, a diverse society (a dog for a king! Need I say more?) and the guarantee that an afterlife exists. Not to mention that on the off chance a villain kills a bunch of people again, they’ll be wished back to life by the heroes once they’ve inevitably won.
The worst world of the ones I’ve watched is probably Rebuild of Evangelion, particularly if it’s during 3.0. Any Eva except for post-3.0+1.0 is pretty bad, but Rebuild 3.0 is probably the worst.
I’d say Psycho-Pass would be the worst I’ve heard of, but I’ve never actually watched that.
Honestly most shows that aren’t either in the slice of life genre or have the action hidden from normal people would suck to live in as a normal person. Even relatively light-hearted Dragon Ball would be a downgrade.
