This is a normie list for anime tourists.
Perfect blue at #2 is a joke; it's not even that bad, just a real basic artsy psycho thriller. It's a good anime, but #2 on most disturbing is just laughable.
Mostly everything aside from Shoujo Tsubaki is just mainstream edgy anime... things that modern reddit-coded tourists think is horrific, and even Shoujo Tsubaki belongs at like #5 or something.
It's missing some real disturbing ones...
Like Gantz (Manga is worse), Pupa, Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, Kite, Genocyber, Violence Jack, Bible Black, Euphoria, Urotsukidoji, and so many others that are just banned in many countries for their "atrocious" themes that can really scar your mind.
Berserk (that one scene doesn’t carry it), Monster, Elfen Lied, Serial Experiments Lain, and Shiki (mid atmospheric vampire stuff with some violence) don’t even belong on the list at all. Even Tokyo Ghoul had scenes that made you go WTF...
