“Fullmetal Alchemist" - The Nina and Alexander Tragedy
The fate of Nina and her dog Alexander in "Fullmetal Alchemist" is a devastating and unforgettable moment in the series. The scene takes place when the brothers, Edward and Alphonse, discover that their father has been performing experiments to create chimeras, which are creatures that are made up of different species combined into one. They come across Nina and Alexander, who have been fused together as part of their father's twisted experiments.
The scene is emotionally charged, as Nina and Alexander had become beloved characters in the series up until this point. The viewers are forced to watch as their innocent lives are destroyed by their own father's actions.
"Attack on Titan" - The Titan Cannibalism Scene
Honestly, anyone who’s watched this anime will agree that this anime is pretty disturbing. We find plot twists and bits of nuggets of information as to what Titans are through every single episode. The Titan cannibalism scene in "Attack on Titan" is undoubtedly one of the most disturbing and thought-provoking moments early on in the entire series. In this scene, Ymir reveals to her fellow scouts that she was once a mindless Titan and had consumed the flesh of one of her own kind to regain her human form. The revelation is shocking and grotesque, as it suggests that the very creatures that humanity is fighting against may have once been human themselves.
Yakitate! Japan - 314-layer Croissant
Yakitate! Japan is a tamer version of Shokugeki no Soma, and is a great hearty anime. In this anime, a few dozen chefs are trying to make it to the top at the famous bread-making chain Pantasia. Kyousuke Kawachi and the other chefs need to bake through the rounds to impress the judges. In one of the briefs, he had to bake the best croissant. He made one that looked burnt and unappetizing at first glance. However, when the judge hesitated to go for it, Kyousuke stops him and hits the croissant with the back of his spoon. To everyone's surprise, the black layer of the croissant breaks into thousands of pieces, revealing a golden, shiny croissant underneath that looks like a bright crescent moon. When the judge took a bite of the croissant, he was transported to the moon on Apollo 12. And it gets even crazier when the opponent chef tries the same croissant and his back arcs like a crescent moon too, causing him to yield.
Spirited Away - Pigging Out
In the acclaimed anime film "Spirited Away", the scene takes place early in the film, as Chihiro and her parents are driving to their new home in the countryside. On their way, they become lost and stumble upon what appears to be an abandoned amusement park. Chihiro's parents decide to explore the park and eat the delicious unattended food from the stall. Chihiro wandered off and discovered that strange, otherworldly presence surrounding her. She tries to warn her parents and get them to leave, but it's too late. They have eaten so much that they begin to transform into pigs right before Chihiro's eyes.
Naruto - Sexy Technique Jutsu
With great power comes great responsibility, right? In “Naruto”, after Naruto learned different types of Jutsus, he manages to transform into a beautiful woman, with special attention given to the woman's figure. He created this technique in order to play pranks on men. When Naruto used this technique, his opponents got a severe nosebleed. When you think that isn’t enough, the anime series showcases more Jutsu techniques, such as Boy on Boy Technique, Girl on Girl Technique, Harem and Reverse Harem Techniques.
Obviously, there are many other weird anime moments that we decided are too much to share. What did you think? What was an anime scene that went way too far for you? We’d love to hear what you think via @skinstudioj_!
