Narutaru. Disturbing on so many levels. And don't even get me started on what happens after the conclusion of the anime.

The only thing more disturbing I've seen was School Days (and no, not disturbing in the sense that it was terrible and I hated it).

I think it counts... even if I do the same everyday.
I don't find them that disturbing too, but the things some of them made me think really made me more disturbed. Especially Lain.

Now I want to see Narutaru... but I'm going to finish GITS first.

The End of Evangelion. One of, if not the most disturbing film I have ever seen, hands-down.

I'd say Texhnolyze, mostly becase of its eerie atmosphere and dark story. Some of the episodes made me really depressed, still it's one of my favorite anime series.

Texhnolyze, I mean honestly, the whole thing within itself just screams disturbed, from the moment the girl plays with his eyes because they're a different color from all the rest to when he starts a war basically because he's pissed off, the whole series just screamed strange and it seriously bothered me for a long time afterward. Especially the part when they go to the surface hoping to find people who haven't quite given up on life.
I almost have no doubt that the end of mankind will come like that, or in some way similar.

End of Evangelion would get my second vote if I could vote twice, the first five times I watched it I didn't really fully understand the whole thing but when I watched it the sixth time, everything clicked and I was in tears. It was a beautiful madness, or a wonderful sanity, maybe both I'm not really sure. But it also truly bothered me for a good long while afterward. Still though, not quite as high as Texhnolyze.

And SE Lain just didn't do it for me. I did like 'god' though, that part was what really interested me. Maybe I would've liked it more if I had watched it before I watched Texhnolyze but Texhnolyze was so much better in my opinion that when I watched Lain I felt somewhat let down.

My vote goes to Texhnolyze mainly because although the subject isn't as disturbing as the ones encountered in other anime, the atmosphere is incredible. Considering one of my favorite subject in anime is dystopias imho Texhnolyze is second only to the BLAME manga.

The execution is flawless and thus creates an almost unreal degree of immersion greatly amplifing the message.

I'll continue to preach Saikano as most disturbing/dramatic anime.
I had a breakdown after watching it.

further more, none of the other anime's in the list seem particulary disturbing,
save GiTS: Innocence and End of Evangelion.
I'll leave Monster and Narutaru out of it, since I haven't seen those yet...

End of Eva... I've not even seen it in ages, and I still remember it as a mindf*ck...

Most definitely the most disturbing, whilst still being true to human nature, and the growth of a teenager.

I haven't seen all that many of the ones on the list so i refuse to vote. However so far the most disturbing one was End of Evangelion, though i really liked serial experiments lain aswell... Just that SEL is not disturbing in any way to me for some reason, part of it seemed to blend in to my teenage angst thoughts quite well... The whole writing your ego into the wired and stuff :)

I did not watched all titles at poll, but I've seen many of them. For me, Serial Experiments Lain will always be the 2nd one, when you think about philosophy, psychology, and theme related. The very 1st one is still Boogiepop Phantom, that was left out of the poll. So, my vote goes to S.E.L.

I never felt when watching or reviewing an anime that is was disturbing. I watched Higurashi: I think it's a great anime. I also watched Elfen Lied: Okay, its disturbing that they completely denied a species of life, but it didn't really touch me. The same is with Saikano. I never thougt of an anime series as disturbing.

There's only one anime that 'touched' me: Angel Beats. The story of Iwasawa.

Higurashi definitely disturbed me the most. Most true violence I've seen in an anime.

It was a sudden ending, though. The philosophical ending was the highlight of the series for me, but it came out of no-where and didn't really have a sense of finality to it. I just felt such a fantastic psychological ending didn't even belong with the rest of the angsty anime.

I love every single anime from Studio 4°C which all of them have such unique concept and visual effect especialy Mind Game and Genius Party. Needless to say, we all gotta admit that Masaaki Yuasa is a genius director and a gem in the anime industry along with names like Shinkai Makoto!
