Various dark spirits and supernatural creatures that will never let you get bored.
Anime is a field of experimentation and diversity. There are no conventions, and even the most classic genres, such as horror, are read differently in anime.
Instead of traditional jump scares, there can be long suspense, instead of darkness, there can be the light of a cozy afternoon, and instead of evil from the underworld, there can be ordinary people.
