Mermaid Forest

Alt titles: Ningyo no Mori

Mermaid Forest main image

It is believed that to consume the flesh of a mermaid, means that you will never show signs of age, and live forever. However, many cannot handle its taste and become demons for eternity. Towa is a woman whose thirst for this flesh consumes her, as she was made only partially immortal by drinking the blood of a mermaid years ago. Unable to cast her demons aside, she destroys everything in her path on a search for this legend.

Don't see the sequel without seeing the original. Mermaid Forest is longer (15 minutes) and has a lot more build up with flashbacks, twists, and secrets. Plenty of horror and violence, without overdoing it. Both of the Mermaid OVAs are simply fantastic.

Pet Shop of Horrors

Pet Shop of Horrors main image

At Count D's pet shop, you can acquire any form of animal, from an ordinary canary, to more.. "exotic" creatures. Made to sign a contract before purchase, Count D claims no "responsibility for actions incurred" if the purchaser does not follow its instructions completely, as results can be fatal. Patrons of this shop are able to get the rarest of creatures, but often, their purchases are coupled with demons from their past that won't go away easily.

Another great show about humans whose demons overcome them, strange/bizarre animals, and general horror/fear/violence/pain.

Mermaid Forest TV

Alt titles: Ningyo no Mori TV

Mermaid Forest TV main image

Legend says that if the flesh of a mermaid is consumed, the body becomes immortal. However, with the small chance of immortality comes a high chance of being poisoned, morphing and mutating into a monster beyond comprehension. Yuta is a wanderer: one of the few who has eaten the flesh and survived, and lived to tell about it -- for 500 years. By chance, Yuta meets a young woman named Mana who also shares the same fate, and together, they wander the land, searching for a mermaid who can free them from their immortal lives.

Most people don't know Scar exists... so if you haven't, see it! Or, if you've seen it, check out the TV series. Dark, gruesome, horror-filled goodness.
