Eden of the East
Steins;Gate
Fate/Zero

Darker than black - I highly recommend this. Season one, in particular.
Kenran Butoh Sai: The Mars Daybreak - I enjoyed this one a lot
Mushishi - A little slow, but very enjoyable. If you like paranormal-ish stuff that isn't frightening, you'll love this
Black Lagoon - Probably more what you're looking for with the 'darker' bit. Not a fantasy setting.
Baccano - Light hearted but can be dark at times.
Gankutsuou - I loved this, but it takes some getting used to. Count of Monte Cristo. In space.

I'm primarily a mecha nut when it comes to anime, but those are some good ones I don't see recommended all the time.

Dark anime, eh?

Check out Berserk, Boogiepop Phantom, Ergo Proxy, School Days, Serial Experiments Lain, Saikano, Now and Then Here and There, Jin-Roh, Paprika, and if you want to cry for the rest of the month, Grave of the Fireflies.

I don't know that that is, but Death Note is pretty dark, and very good.

And even though it isn't dark, Naruto is really quite a bit of fun. A childs show for the first Naruto, but once you hit Shippuden, it gets darker and much, much better.

This. though I would change pretty good to awesome. Also on a slightly lighter note but awesome series Soul Eater is good, with some dark tones, and D-Gray Man has lots of Dark tones. Claymore is pretty good too.

EDIT: Forgot to mention go watch original FMA. Its pretty good too. The original doesn`t follow closely to the manga at all so they are two completely different series and the original is arguably darker then brotherhood.

EDIT2: Gonna edit me in some Speed Grapher. Its on Netflix and I really enjoyed it myself. And it is very dark. Big warning is a lot of sexual things though

Rurouni Kenshin, Trust, Betrayal, and Reflection: I would say in the top 5 of best animes ever made. My opinion.

Elfen Lied: Definently dark, not for everyone, it really makes you think. One of my Favorites. ( On Netflix )

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Also makes you think, Not for everyone, but very good.

Gundam.

Claymore. ( On Netflix )

Full Metal Alchimist ( all on netflix )

And if your absolutly new to all anime and have never seen it before, then a must.

Dragon Ball Z:

Saiyan Saga

Namek and Captain Ginyu Sagas

Frieza Saga

Garlic Jr. / Android Saga

Imperfect Cell / Perfect Cell Saga

Cell Games Saga


194 episiodes between the sagas, but worth it.
