I usually take articles like this to mean something that would be scary if you had to face it in reality. The last time I was scared by anything in fiction was when I was 12. (That same movie that gave me nightmares had no effect when I viewed it again a couple of years later). By contrast, I still see things that if I encountered them in real life would likely cause me to soil my underwear. That is typically because it is something from which there would be little to no chance of escape, and immense amounts of pain would be inflicted. |

Really? I found the opposite, the spiral... events just looked too weird to take seriously. It was a great manga but I couldn't find the big detailed panels really freaky. In regards to YuruYuri, they'd probably have to age the characters up to high school. While it's hardly explicit, you sometimes forget the characters getting sexually excited about other characters are thirteen and fourteen. Well, except Akane, but that actually might just be weirder in live action. I would adapt Jintai, it would do decently and I would be glad I didn't go SAO and make money from idiots. |

Kinda surprised the monsters from Blood-C didn't make the list...especially the ones from the last two episodes.
The spoiler[bunnies] at the end amused but also creeped me the hell out. |

Gotta admit, I was half expecting "Everything from the final episodes of Berserk" to be in the top spot.
Indeed. She should've at least tied Yotsuba for number 1.
Huh. It's been a really long time since I last saw the episode, but I always thought that the creature terrorizing them was some sort of alien mold/bacterial...thing...that had resulted from the (likely dead) lobster being left alone for so long, not the actual lobster itself. Granted, I once had a similar experience with a long-forgotten orange cake that somehow transformed into an unearthly green, flat...brain-like...substance. So who knows how that influenced my interpretation. Thankfully, mine did not go on to terrorize the residents of my apartment complex. |

WHY DOES NO ONE WANT KAIBA?!
Anyway, I would like the most obvious and vote for a Kokoro Connect live action. Next would be Joshiraku, then Humanity Has Declined, then Tari Tari.Although I think Tari Tari and Kokoro Connect would do the best. |

Though I had problems with freaking everything in my refrigerator freshman year of college molding fast and for no good reason as well, so... |

I stated at the beginning of the article:
That said, there are a lot of creepy ghost moments in anime. Right now one of the weirder ones I'm watching is Ghost Hound. The spirits in that remind me of Coralians a bit as far as looks. |

Because we all know 13 and 14 year olds have no sex drive. Nope. Not at all. |

You realize this makes you sound like a huge creep, right? Why do you say things like this? Do you think you're educating people? |

I voted for La Storia della Arcana Familglia. Not becuase it was particularly good, but because I think Hollywood could make something fun out of it.

Baking Soda.
If only the Bebop crew had Baking Soda, Ed wouldn't have to eat that living bile.
In that case, Envy would definitively make me terrified in real life. That dino thing from King of Torn, while fast, is not bright and can easily be avoided if you're thinking clearly. Envy, however, is rather smart and his body is covered with the faces of the souls he devoured *squick* so he'll traumatize you while kicking your a** at the same time.
So you have read this book! spoiler[Hint: The narrator is an Unreliable pedophile so try to believe everything he says.] |

Of the ones I've watched from this season, I'd have to say the one I see as being most likely to transition to live action is Kokoro Connect. Not so much live action tv/movie in the US because that sort of thing isn't really big here, but in Japan I think it would work. There's no big special effects that need to be done to pull it off, so as long as you get people who can act, it would be pretty simple to pull off.

Please explain what is wrong with acknowledging that middle schoolers can get hot and bothered over other middle schoolers. I mean this shouldn't be a controversial position or something. Its not like I'm saying that Akane (who is a massive, if entertaining, creep) should totally give in to her desires for Akari or something. But other than that, all relationships are within the same age group. So what, precisely, is the problem? |

Oh, I thought you meant the writer. As for adaptation, in Japan I'd go with Binbōgami ga; but they simply move up the main character age to College or first job, though. |

There's more to know about middle schoolers than whether or not they get horny for other middle schoolers? |
