Thankfully there is plenty of anime that is perfect for watching if you want to get into the spooky spirit too.Some of my personal favorites includeThe Promised Neverland, Castlevania,andBlood, The Last Vampire, areperfect anime to watch.Check out my list below for more anime to watchto get in the mood for the spooky season. From cute and comedic to dark and horrific, this list consists of anime I highly recommend.
Little Witch Academiakicks off this list off with something light, cute, and magical. The series follows Akko Kagari, an ordinary girl who joins the renowned witch school, Luna Nova Academy, for witch girls. Ever since, Akko was younger and went to a magic show hosted by the famous witch, Shiny Chariot. Mesmerized and inspired by Chariots performance, she becomes determined to become a cool witch just like her hero. The only problem is that she is a bit ignorant about magic; nonetheless, that doesnt stop her from working towards her dream.
Next on the list is Soul Eater. Setin the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 duos. These pairs are a partnership between a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to reach a ranking of Death Scythe (and thus fit for use by the Shinigami), they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch. However, forces outside of the Academy make it more challenging of a feat causing trouble worldwide.
The PromisedNeverland centers on Grace Field House orphanage children, Emma, Ray, and Norman. The childrens lives are suddenly turned upside down when they learn that their loving caretaker, Mama, has actually been secretly raising them like cattle to be fed to demons. Having learned the truth, children decide they have to escape the only home they have ever known. Now they must pool their resources and work together if they want to escape with all of their family. One misstep could mean sudden death if Mama finds out, but it is worth the risk to escape the dark and twisted fate that awaits them.
In Tokyo Ghoul,aTokyo college student, Ken Kaneki, is attacked by a ghoul, a superpowered human who feeds human flesh. Kaneki barely survives the brutal attack thanks to an organ transplant. However, the organ donor just so happened to be from the ghoul that attacked him. Now he has become part ghoul and must learn how to eat human flesh to survive.He meets the helpful ghouls that manage the coffee shop Anteiku who take him in and teach him how to deal with his new life as a half-ghoul.
In Castlevania,vampire Count Draculas wife is wrongfully accused of witchcraft and burned at stake in Wallachia. Dracula declares that humankind will pay with their lives for killing his wife. He summons an army of demons that quickly overruns Wallachia, causing the people to live lives of fear, distrust, and despair. The outcast monster hunter Trevor Belmont combats Draculas forces, with the help of the magician Sypha Belnades and Draculas dhampir son Alucard. Together with their power combined powers and strength, they seek to save humankind by killing Dracula.
Seis Manostakes place in the fictional town of San Simon in 1970s Mexico. The series follows three orphans, Isabella, Jesus, and Silencio, who are adopted and trained in Chinese martial arts by their mentor, Chui. When their mentor is suddenly killed, they join forces with an American DEA agent and a Mexican policewoman to avenge his murder.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortresstakes place during the Industrial Revolution.

One day, a hayajiris hijacked by the kabane crashes into the Aragane Station. Where Ikoma, a young engineer, uses the opportunity to test his anti-kabane weaponbut is infected in the process. While he manages to resist the virus, he becomesa kabaneri, a human-kabane hybrid. Assisted by Mmei,another kabaneri who appears to help them, they set out to seek shelter elsewhere, fighting the hordes of kabane along the way.
Another spooky anime, Corpse Party: Tortured Soulsis a four-episode anime OVA based on the Japanese video game Corpse Party.A group of schoolmates from Kisaragi Academy performs a friendship charm called Sachiko Ever After for their classmate Mayu Suzumoto, transferring to another school.The charm was supposed to unite and strengthen their friendship.

Last on the spooky anime list isParasyte. The series follows Shinichi Izumi, a high school-aged boy whose right hand becomes possessed by an alien parasitenamed Migi.

However, as a side-effect of fusing with Migi, Shinichi becomes distant and unsympathetic.Shinichi also gradually loses the ability to empathize with others and feel very little emotion. As thebond with Migi becomes stronger Shinichi begins to think more like a parasite.
So whether youre in the mood for an anime that is dark and scary, light and fluffy, or just a straight-up horrific psychological thriller this list has a bit of it all.
