That’s why we made a list of ten anime series that will help you feel the same dark and sometimes heartbreaking vibe that Attack on Titan was so good at.
This series may not have titans, but the parasites are just as creepy and frightening.
Parasites are alien monsters that can take over human bodies. One of such things was trying to get into Shinichi’s brain, but failed along the way, and now it’s stuck in the boy’s right hand.
The two are now forced to coexist and learn to deal with their issues together.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll, Netflix, HIDIVE, Hulu
Psycho-Pass
If you don’t mind a little cyberpunk, this series might also be good for you. It has the same dark and twisted vibe as Attack on Titan.
“Psycho-Pass” is a system that examines the psychological state of citizens in order to evaluate their chances of becoming criminals. Akane Tsunemori is a young inspector who is eager to bring justice to this world.
However, she is about to learn that the Psycho-Pass system is not so perfect, and it’s going to make her reevaluate everything she knows about the world.
Where to watch: Funimation, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video
Terrifying monsters eating people? This is definitely something The Promised Neverland has in common with Attack on Titan.
Emma and Norman live in a seemingly peaceful orphanage. They have classes, play games with other orphans and just have fun. But one day they learn the horrible truth about the place they call home and the woman they call “Mama”.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll, Funimation, HIDIVE, Hulu
If you love Attack on Titan for its revenge storyline and the exploration of the cycle of violence, you will also love Dororo.
Hyakkimaru’s dad made a deal with demons: they grant his land prosperity, but he has to sacrifice his son. However, the boy survives even though he’s born without various body parts. And when he gets older, it’s time to reclaim his body and execute his revenge.
The Future Diaries is also dark and often very twisted, but if you’re an AoT fan, you’re here for it.
Yukiteru keeps a phone diary, where he writes about his daily life. But one day his phone turns into something else: a future diary, capable of telling him what’s about to happen.
The boy also finds himself dragged into a frightening battle royale, but there’s no need to fear: eccentric and even a bit insane Yuno will be Yukiteru’s best ally. After all, her diary shows his future.
This series’ protagonists are even younger than Eren and his friends, but it doesn’t mean that their fates will be any less terrifying.
Riko aspires to become like her mother and explore the furthest reaches of the Abyss, a giant hole that goes deep into the earth. She encounters a mysterious robot, whom she calls Reg, and now they team up to travel into the Abyss to learn the truth of the robot’s origin and find Riko’s mother.

Darwin's Game
Are you a gamer, by any chance? If yes, you might also like Darwin’s Game.
Kaname receives an invitation to play a mobile game he’s never heard of. But when he wants to start it, a green snake pops out from his phone screen and bites his neck.
He later thinks that it was all in his mind and starts the game again. However, he’s about to be very surprised when he sees his game opponent right in front of him. With a knife, by the way.
Where to watch: Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu
Due to an accident, two completely different people become cyborgs. Ichiro Inuyashiki is an old man going through difficult times and Hiro Shishigami is just an average school student and a One Piece manga fan.
But their intentions of using these new powers are completely different: Inuyashiki wants to help people and make the world a better place, while Hiro decides that there are no cruelty limits for him anymore.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll, Prime Video
Ajin
Just like Eren, the main protagonist of Ajin turns out to be someone he never wanted to be. We hope he will deal with it better, though.
Ajin are humans who possess immortality and extreme regenerative abilities that trigger upon death. They are considered highly dangerous by society and are captured by the government.
That’s why when Nagai Kei discovers he is one after a terrible accident, he has to find out how to deal with this new development.
