I wanted to call this topic "Moments in anime that made you s*** your pants" but I don't think that would be too appropiate so I'll start

Yu Yu Hakusho
-When that fire guy just owned Hiei. I was like "WTF. What the heck was that?" I mean it was just so abrupt

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (when cicadas cry)
-Sadly, I watched this entire series at night...home alone...in my room with the lights off...God, the memories. If you don't know what I'm talking about watch the first four episodes somewhere or on DVD. You'll understand

Elfen Lied
-Because apparently, Higurashi was just not enough for me. The first five minutes will probably burn in my mind forever (Naked woman cutting people's heaRAB off. Who knew?)

So what freaked you guys out?
 
Akira. In fact, almost all of Akira.

It's full of moments, the one that initially got me was the part with the teddy bears and the milk. The music also adRAB to the incredibly strange atmosphere.
 
The most traumatizising moment for me was Kaori getting crushed in a giant ball of Tetsuo.
 
-Fullmetal Alchemist-We find out just who Shou Tucker used to make his chimeras. This was a "WHAT THE-DID I REALLY JUST SEE THAT?!" moment (the same goes for the first time we see Scar's power). The first appearance of Barry the Chopper and his fight with Ed is a real nailbiter sequence as well. Other moments in the series: Wrath going mental at the sound of a baby crying, Envy going batty after Dante tells him/her where she sent Hohenheim (you're pretty messed up if you freak out because you didn't get to kill someone), and the reveal of what happened to Gluttony in Conqueror of Sharaballa.
-Anything involving Orochimaru in Naruto, but the best (or worst) has to be him biting Sasuke on the freaking neck to transfer the curse seal. He's like Michael Jackson in anime form, man.
-Our first glimpse of Mad Pierrot in Cowboy Bebop. If you don't get chills from that and the subsequent bloodbath that follows, you have problems, my friend.
 
-With Gluttony I actually did a small yelp since he just burst out like that
-I agree with the Michael Jackson comment but if you have seen Shippuden, Orichimaru does some stuff in that will haunt your dreams

(i did not just see Orichimaru spit out another Orochimaru...I did not just see Orochimaru spit out another Orochimaru)
 
And I'm sorry but Higurashi owns anything in terms of freakiness in anime (okay maybe Narutaru but that's only a slim maybe)
 
Higurashi is one of those shows that you want to see the next episode not because you want to advance the story, but because you are freaking out about what happened and you need to see the next one



The same way she could impale herself (and get an orgasm doing it)
 
That made me jump so high the first time I saw that.

These as well.

FMA was really good at tricking you and making sure you never saw what was coming.

Mad Pierrot is one of the best episodes of any show, and I think even Spike was freaked out when he fought Pierrot. A rarity for the guy who wasn't even scared of friggin' Vicious.
 
yes, that moment was definately a WTF, and you know whats even a bigger one, he survibes the anime.........(hopefuly the manga doesnt make the same mistake)

In Berserk, well, for one the Eclipse (was worse in the manga), when you see what happens to Gutts when he removes the Berserker's Armor (its probably the most user-damaging power up ever created), Emperor Ganishka's most recent form, Mozgus' mideaval torture charaber, and finaly THE MOST ****ED UP THING IVE EVER SEEN, when Serpico and his insane half sister burned his mother at the stake (WTF). (most of the previously mentioned events only happen in the manga)

Berserk prety much tops everything
 
Dragonball Z- The first appearance of Cell in his hidious insectlike first form where he sucks a man up with his scorpion like tail and when Super Majin Buu kill a man by by turning himself into liquid, shooting himself down the guy's throat, making swell up like a balloon and explode messily.

Lots and lots of things from Yu Yu Hakusho's Dark Tournament and Sensui sagas.

The first episode of Death Note because of how crazy Light was and the creepiness of Ryuk.
 
Meh, by the time I saw Berserk, I was pretty much already used to it. Akira, Ninja Scroll, and all the crappy OVAs that made it over here in the mid-90s had a lot of content on par or even surpassing Berserk in the 'freaky' category.

Berserk was/is really good, though. Pure quality with or without the subject matter.
 
I'm naturally a squeamish person, so the scene in Naruto several months back where Naruto's opponent rips her own still-beating heart out definitely had me going O_o.

...what? I'm really squeamish.
 
Okay that's it. You have forced me to draw my hand

If you have never heard of this show and you don't want to at least see one episosde of Higurashi after seeing this then I am completely done.
 
That one really freaked me out the first time I saw the episode....I was only half-paying attention (folding laundry),so I only realized about a split second before Edward did (and then,I was like,"Oh my God,he didn't do what I think he did,did he?" )...

Other than that,I can't really think of anything off the top of my head...
 
i repeat Serpico burned his own mother at the stake. Also those midland women who were pregant and droped in a giant pool of dead demond corpses so that their children would be freek mutant demon soldiers, also Serpico burned his mother at the stake, burn the witch!!!!
