There is an opinion that a large and tender heart beats in the chest of even the most severe bearded programmer, in the depth of which there will always be a place for a good anime. But in life there are moments when the mood does not have to kavaynosti: the code is not rushing, the bug is not caught, the algorithm works crookedly, the team leader inserted for the deadline. And then you want to see something harsh, brutal, masculine. Well, the world of anime is very diverse and can offer works for every taste.

So, what can be offered to those who proudly reject for themselves the possibility of watching the next series about fairy girls or cute fictional creatures with supernormal abilities ?

Basilisk (Basilisk)

The series " Basilisk " tells the story of the war of two clans of ninjas in ancient times. An implacable enmity has been going on for many years, and the degree of mutual hatred soared to the skies when it came time to choose a new shogun from two candidates: the grandson of the head of the clan Koga and the granddaughter of the head of the clan Iga. All anything, but the situation is complicated by the fact that the heirs of two warring families love each other. And for 24 episodes, real drama unfolds before us, when two people are torn between love and devotion to their clan. Where is the brutality, you ask? I remind you: these are two ninja clans, and even yard animals are able to kill there. They die there with enviable regularity and very cruel. Until the very end, it is unclear which clan will triumph, the scale pan swings one way or the other. In this case, fights are staged and shown very exciting. Decent graphics (especially by the standards of 2003), a good portion of the mystical abilities of high-class murderers, bloodshed and dismemberment will delight notorious misanthropes and will not let everyone else get bored.

Claymore

In the alternative world of the Middle Ages, side-by-side with humans, werewolf-cannibals Yema. Ordinary peyzane, like ordinary infantry, is unable to cope with them and turn into a snack.

Blood here too poured a lot.

Kite (Kite)

Old (1998), but well-drawn full-length movie about a girl who was brainwashed and turned into a high-class assassin.
