* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has both an anime and an OVA, the second of which follows the manga's plot more closely. While both series have their share of blood and gore, the OVA takes LudicrousGibs to another level entirely, which in of itself gets much more grisly at the series goes. Compare Alexander Anderson's attack on Seras at the beginning to Zorin Blitz's death. Hellsing isn't just bloodier and gorier than other series, it's bloodier and gorier than Hellsing, too.

* ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess2016'' leans to the game's darker, more naturalistic aesthetic by removing the bloodlessness from the series' normally BloodlessCarnage, which, when applied to a game about stabbing things, means quite a lot of blood.

** It should be noted that this only applies to their TV series. Sanrio's earlier films from the 70s and 80s had no qualms showing blood, most notably ''Anime/RingingBell'' and ''[[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon Be Invoked]]''. And unlike ''Aggretsuko'', which is aimed at adults, these were [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children's movies]]!
* ''Anime/BerserkTheGoldenAgeArc'' film trilogy is far more violent and bloody than the [[Anime/{{Berserk}} 1997 TV anime]] was -- as well as [[TruerToTheText truer to the manga, which was as violent as all get out]].
* The ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'' remake manga, a {{Seinen}} series is more violent and gruesome the original, which was a {{Shonen|Demographic}} series. Likewise, Season 2 of ''Decode'' was more violent than the OVA and Season 1, as it involved being more violent than Season 1, as Season 2 features dismemberment, heads being crushed in, and at one point, a character getting his eye stabbed.
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' already was a very violent series with gunshots and blood aplenty, but the OVA adaptation of El Baile De La Muerte arc [[UpToEleven turns up the violence even more]] with things to bodies disintegrating into PinkMist, chainsaws going through a grown, alive man's torso and everything in-between.
* Promptly after its anime adaptation ended, ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' has seen a significant rise in gorier violence and deaths, adding to the noticeably DarkerAndEdgier tone it took beginning with the final arc.
* ''Anime/BloodC'', compared to the [[Anime/BloodTheLastVampire previous]] [[Anime/BloodPlus two]] series in the franchise, where the [[{{Gorn}} blood and gore]] are ''significantly'' upped, and far more detailed.
* ''LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' could be considered a bloodier and gorier SpiritualSuccessor to ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan''.
* The manga adaptation of ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' is considerably bloodier (and gorier) than the original video game, especially compared to international versions.
** Admittedly, a ''big'' chunk of this is because ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' (the game) suffered particularly severe {{Bowdlerization}}, ''especially'' in the international releases. [[note]]A notable example included an AbortedArc featuring WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Fou-lu decapitating usurper Soniel with the very EvilWeapon Soniel had tried to use to kill him. In non-Japanese non-Playstation releases, this scene ended up completely cut from the game, despite the fact it was depicted only via silhouette.[[/note]] Also, the manga was published in ''Comic Blade Avarus'' which is geared towards young adult women.
*** The manga did a major TakeThat in regards to that {{Bowdlerized}} scene[[note]]involving Soniel's decapitation[[/note]], not only making it Bloodier And Gorier but turning the original moment, UpToEleven.
* ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' gets much grislier than [[Manga/CellsAtWork its shonen counterpart]], fitting its DangerousWorkplace themes. While ''Cells at Work!'' doesn't shy away from having its own share of blood and guts, they reserved that for the invading bacteria. In ''CODE BLACK'', the body is so dysfunctional ''all'' cells have a chance to end up as corpses, and a lot of them can and will die on the job. As a result, ''CODE BLACK'' gets a rare 18+ rating in the US.
* ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' is a rare example of the anime being more violent than the manga. In the manga, most amputations result in BloodlessCarnage, but in the anime, [[HighPressureBlood those same amputations result in gallons of blood spraying all over the place.]] Whether it's a red blood for humans, or [[AlienBlood purple blood for the Yoma.]]
* ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' compared to the other Hope's Peak Saga games that preceded it. Most deaths happen on-screen rather than being shown after the fact, the murders are brutal, and the ''Future'' portion of the series frequently features red blood instead of the franchise's usual pink. Rather than the over-the-top minute-long executions featured in the games, the anime's lone execution is the central focus of a third of an ''entire episode'', and pretty much is TorturePorn where the victim slowly gets more bloodied by traps until [[spoiler:Chiaki outright gets impaled at the end]].
* ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' is already a violent and grotesque affair back to its 70's roots. But the alternative sequel ''Amon'' cranks the violence even higher up, showing more blood, gore and nastiness in its 45-minute run than the whole TV-series did in 39 episodes. Similarly, ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' cranks up both the gore ''and'' sex, combined with an overdose of DerangedAnimation.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' had its first anime adaptation [[{{Bowdlerize}} considerably toned down its]] {{Gorn}} for an early evening broadcast on Creator/TVTokyo. (Not helping that this was during its MoralGuardian days where they also [[LighterAndSofter cut out much of the violence and blood]] out of fellow ''Shounen Jump'' properties ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' and ''especially'' ''Manga/Reborn2004''). Come 2016, when ''D.Gray-Man Hollow'', a SequelSeries to the first anime debuted, showed ''a lot'' more of the gore and violence from the original manga, and was not at all toned down, due to a mix of its [[OtakuOClock late night airtime]], and a more lenient TV Tokyo as a whole. (Especially since fellow very violent anime like ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' and ''LightNovel/ReZero'' also air late at night on the channel.)
* The ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise definitely fits the bill. When you compare the tone and nature of ''Manga/DragonBall'' to that of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', it's night and day. Granted, ''Dragon Ball'' became violent in its final arc (King Piccolo), but in ''Z'' the blood and gore are [[StealthPun off the scale]]: limbs being torn off; characters ''regularly'' coughing up rivers of blood; ''children'' being tortured, murdered in cold blood or paralyzed; mass genocide of entire races; people being decapitated... and the Namek Saga [[UpToEleven gets even worse]]. On top of that, the manga is even '''more violent''': if anybody were to explode it would start raining blood and if anybody's head was crushed or destroyed (which happened ''very'' frequently), you would see '''parts of their brain splatter all over the place'''.
* ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' doesn't use BloodlessCarnage, unlike the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] it is based off of. Ritchie and Ash's battle ends with [[spoiler:Ash's Charizard nearly killing Ritchie's]].
* Mocked in the unaired final episode of ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', appropriately titled "Going Too Far". Hyatt coughs up enough blood to [[spoiler: flood the planet.]]
* One would never have expected that ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' could ever be made bloodier, but ''New Fist of the North Star/Shin Hokuto No Ken'' shows more splattering blood and brain matter in more loving detail than anything else from this series, before or after.
** Hell, compare the TV series to the 1986 movie. For the first time, Toei Animation got to show all the LudicrousGibs the original manga had to offer, and with an impressively high budget (by anime standards) to boot! That is, until MoralGuardians forced the producers to [[{{Bowdlerization}} blur, tint, and cut out]] any gore that wasn't just HighPressureBlood or a FreezeFrameBonus.
* ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'' has some scenes that are more violent than anything from [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime adaptation]].
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has both an anime and an OVA, the second of which follows the manga's plot more closely. While both series have their share of blood and gore, the OVA takes {{Ludicrous Gibs}} to [[UpToEleven another level entirely]], which in of itself gets much more grisly at the series goes. Compare Alexander Anderson's attack on Seras at the beginning to Zorin Blitz's death. Hellsing isn't just bloodier and gorier than other series, it's bloodier and gorier than Hellsing, too.
* The Manga adaption to ''Manga/InazumaEleven'' has more blood and detailed injury scenes than in the original.
* ''Franchise/LupinIII'' is a series generally known for its lighthearted antics and BloodlessCarnage; even the more adult manga and versions of the show generally avoid the gorier aspects in favor of stylized violence. Therefore, most Lupin fans found the appropriately named ''Anime/GoemonIshikawasSprayOfBlood'', focusing on Lupin's samurai companion, rather shocking in how it averts the old style hard, and is full of [[AnArmAndALeg severed limbs]], HighPressureBlood, and [[FlayingAlive gruesome injuries]].
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'', in addition to being DarkerAndEdgier, also ramped up the blood and gore. Where previous seasons kept the casualty count of InnocentBystanders off-screen, ''Force'' introduced the new villains by having one of them leave a bloody trail of dead nuns. Where previous seasons reserved bloody battles for {{Wham Episode}}s or final battles, every battle in ''Force'' has had one or both sides being covered in blood or losing limbs without a GoryDiscretionShot. Where the bloodiest thing that happened in the previous seasons is impalement, the ''Force'' season has the Eclipse Infection as its main focus, which makes people undergo BodyHorror that ends with them exploding in a shower of blood and brains.
** While the ''Nanoha'' franchise has never shied away from blood before, ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation Detonation]]'' is by far the most visceral carnage seen so far (with the possible exception of ''[[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce Force]]''), which includes the slaughter of the Planet Restoration Committee, [[spoiler:the aftermath of Nanoha and Fate [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe blowing Maxwell apart]], and Nanoha's battle with the last Iris Unit that ends with [[AnArmAndALeg her missing a arm]].]]
* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''. While the franchise has never been a stranger to violence (being a relatively pessimistic, down-to-earth HumongousMecha vehicle), these two shows were where we really got to see the horrifying effects of its signature immensely powerful sci-fi weaponry, as characters were torn apart by energy beams or simply popped like balloons by microwave emitters. Even the interpersonal violence became a little more visceral, with gunshot wounds causing their victims to twitch and bleed copiously. And then there's ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans]]'', which is possibly the first ''Gundam'' series to be given a TV-MA rating, and features such charming fates as being crushed by your own cockpit.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** The anime adaptation really turns up the blood involved in the fights. In the USJ arc, Aizawa and Shigaraki's injuries are particularly more gruesome than in the manga, full on with pools of blood oozing out of them. Any injuries given are also depicted in loving detail.
** Later arcs become even more gruesome as the manga and anime get DarkerAndEdgier, [[CerebusSyndrome starting with the]] [[KnightOfCerebus Stain]] arc, whose own Quirk involves [[BloodMagic paralyzing the heroes by drawing then tasting their blood]].
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' generally averted BloodlessCarnage, but the StealthSequel series ''Manga/UQHolder'' amps up the violence. In ''Negima'' seeing a major character lose an arm was generally a huge shock. In ''UQ Holder!'', the protagonist gets dismembered in the opening chapter, he wins his first fight by [[ItMakesSenseInContext letting his opponent decapitate him]], and later on [[spoiler: literally has his heart punched out of his chest]]. Good thing the series is about immortals.
* ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'', where the original GainaxEnding was replaced with mass slaughter. At least to start with.
** The second ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' movie has the Angel Sahaquiel's death go from a standard enormous explosion to transforming into a tsunami of blood that engulfs Tokyo-3.
* Played for morbid laughs in ''Manga/OnePiece.'' Roronoa Zoro [[SerialEscalation loses progressively more blood in each]] of his major one-on-one fight scenes as a subtle RunningGag. Keep in mind that, according to WordOfGod, he had already lost [[BeyondTheImpossible nearly twice as much blood as a human body can survive]] through during his ''fourth'' fight. The pool of blood seen in the aftermath of his fight with [[spoiler:Kuma]] takes this UpToEleven. Although it stops being funny when it turns out he [[spoiler: didn't completely recover after that last incident...]]
* ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'':
** The manga in general, when compared to the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} games]]. See the infamous scene where an Arbok gets non-lethally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe chopped in half]] for an example.
** While battles generally still aren't ultra violent and bloody, the six generation stands out with [[spoiler: Rayquaza sucker punching Zinnia in the gut hard enough for her to ''vomit'' copious amount of blood, and the amount around Lysandre's head when he fell from a serious height into some spiky rocks.]]
* Due to the monochrome color it's hard to tell what's blood and what's bruising, but ''Manga/PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure'' is more violent than its [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl source game]]. It's especially noticeable during the Hareta versus [[spoiler:Mitsumi]] battle.
* ''Anime/PsychoPassTheMovie'' is free from the censors put up by TV networks where they can show lots of people getting down brutally. While it's known that being blown up by the Dominator's Lethal Eliminator mode is gruesome, the movie shows the actual remains of it.
* ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':
** The [[AnimeFirst manga adaptation]] of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. It's basically exactly the same story, except less understated in every way, including this one. Lo and behold, an already scary series gets [[UpToEleven even scarier]].
** Likewise in SpinOff manga, ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'', ''Oriko'''s very first chapter has people being eaten alive.
** ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica'', the other SpinOff manga, [[spoiler: suddenly gets much more violent from [[WhamEpisode Chapters 4 onward]] when the story takes a sudden turn towards CerebusSyndrome. Like ''Oriko'', it is also more violent than the parent series.]]
* The ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' movies and TV specials are a lot bloodier than the show, notable examples include in the first movie Happosai gets stabbed in the neck with a kunai and a lot of blood flows from the wound and Monlon entangles Ranma in her lute strings shredding one of his arms and causing a lot of blood to spray.
* The manga of ''Manga/SandsOfDestruction'' doesn't shy away from blood at all, whereas both the original game and anime adaptation used plenty of BloodlessCarnage (despite the heroine's {{BFS}}).
* InUniverse, the virtual worlds of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' become this for the ''Alicization'' arc. Justified in that the first two seasons dealt with virtual videogames, while Underworld is a more hyper-realistic virtual simulator designed for ''combat'' purposes (which includes having no pain absorber), hence why the wounds the characters suffer in it are a lot nastier.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' ''[[TheMovie Lagann-hen]]'' was pretty bloody compared to the original series. Simon [[BloodFromTheMouth coughs up blood]] twice, [[TitleDrop the]] Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann bleeds, the Anti Spiral bleeds... It probably helped that Gainax wasn't bound to the Saturday morning timeslot.
* ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' turns into this about halfway through the series. While the anime completely bypasses that part, the manga gives us quite a few nice and bloody scenes. It starts with [[spoiler: Fai's EyeScream in [[CrapsackWorld Acid Tokyo]]]] and skyrockets when it reaches Celes Arc. Complete {{Deconstruction}} of the happy-go-lucky GottaCatchEmAll kinda love story (full of [[HoYay subtext]]) that you just sit there wondering [[MindScrew what the hell just happened]].
* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'':
** ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', when compared to [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry its predecessor]]. It was so violent, Japanese TV stations had to pixelate it.
** Speaking of ''Higurashi'', the manga compared to the anime. It's much gorier (but is [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids still aimed at teens]]).
** Most of the individual arcs of both of these shows get Bloodier and Gorier over time.
* ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' is already a very gory manga, but TheMovie takes the {{Gorn}} UpToEleven, especially with Kotori's death, which depicts ''her organs'' being splattered right out of her body. Inverted with the TV adaptation, which while more faithful to the manga's story and characters, tones down some of the more violent scenes. (Kotori's aformentioned death, and the infamous EyeScream are both turned into a GoryDiscretionShot.)
* ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'''s prequel ''LightNovel/WashioSumiIsAHero'' features this for plot related reasons. Its protagonists get physically injured, despite being even younger than Yuna's team, because the {{Fairy Companion}}s aren't around to block all attacks (in fact, [[spoiler:the fairies were introduced to avoid [[MagicalGirl Heroes]] dying]]). The girls end up battered and beaten after each fight. [[spoiler:Gin's death]] scene is [[HighPressureBlood especially bloody]].
----
** It should be noted that this only applies to their TV series. Sanrio's earlier films from the 70s and 80s had no qualms showing blood, most notably ''Anime/RingingBell'' and ''[[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon Be Invoked]]''. And unlike ''Aggretsuko'', which is aimed at adults, these were [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children's movies]]!
* ''Anime/BerserkTheGoldenAgeArc'' film trilogy is far more violent and bloody than the [[Anime/{{Berserk}} 1997 TV anime]] was -- as well as [[TruerToTheText truer to the manga, which was as violent as all get out]].
* The ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'' remake manga, a {{Seinen}} series is more violent and gruesome the original, which was a {{Shonen|Demographic}} series. Likewise, Season 2 of ''Decode'' was more violent than the OVA and Season 1, as it involved being more violent than Season 1, as Season 2 features dismemberment, heads being crushed in, and at one point, a character getting his eye stabbed.
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' already was a very violent series with gunshots and blood aplenty, but the OVA adaptation of El Baile De La Muerte arc [[UpToEleven turns up the violence even more]] with things to bodies disintegrating into PinkMist, chainsaws going through a grown, alive man's torso and everything in-between.
* Promptly after its anime adaptation ended, ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' has seen a significant rise in gorier violence and deaths, adding to the noticeably DarkerAndEdgier tone it took beginning with the final arc.
* ''Anime/BloodC'', compared to the [[Anime/BloodTheLastVampire previous]] [[Anime/BloodPlus two]] series in the franchise, where the [[{{Gorn}} blood and gore]] are ''significantly'' upped, and far more detailed.
* ''LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' could be considered a bloodier and gorier SpiritualSuccessor to ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan''.
* The manga adaptation of ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' is considerably bloodier (and gorier) than the original video game, especially compared to international versions.
** Admittedly, a ''big'' chunk of this is because ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' (the game) suffered particularly severe {{Bowdlerization}}, ''especially'' in the international releases. [[note]]A notable example included an AbortedArc featuring WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Fou-lu decapitating usurper Soniel with the very EvilWeapon Soniel had tried to use to kill him. In non-Japanese non-Playstation releases, this scene ended up completely cut from the game, despite the fact it was depicted only via silhouette.[[/note]] Also, the manga was published in ''Comic Blade Avarus'' which is geared towards young adult women.
*** The manga did a major TakeThat in regards to that {{Bowdlerized}} scene[[note]]involving Soniel's decapitation[[/note]], not only making it Bloodier And Gorier but turning the original moment, UpToEleven.
* ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' gets much grislier than [[Manga/CellsAtWork its shonen counterpart]], fitting its DangerousWorkplace themes. While ''Cells at Work!'' doesn't shy away from having its own share of blood and guts, they reserved that for the invading bacteria. In ''CODE BLACK'', the body is so dysfunctional ''all'' cells have a chance to end up as corpses, and a lot of them can and will die on the job. As a result, ''CODE BLACK'' gets a rare 18+ rating in the US.
* ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' is a rare example of the anime being more violent than the manga. In the manga, most amputations result in BloodlessCarnage, but in the anime, [[HighPressureBlood those same amputations result in gallons of blood spraying all over the place.]] Whether it's a red blood for humans, or [[AlienBlood purple blood for the Yoma.]]
* ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' compared to the other Hope's Peak Saga games that preceded it. Most deaths happen on-screen rather than being shown after the fact, the murders are brutal, and the ''Future'' portion of the series frequently features red blood instead of the franchise's usual pink. Rather than the over-the-top minute-long executions featured in the games, the anime's lone execution is the central focus of a third of an ''entire episode'', and pretty much is TorturePorn where the victim slowly gets more bloodied by traps until [[spoiler:Chiaki outright gets impaled at the end]].
* ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' is already a violent and grotesque affair back to its 70's roots. But the alternative sequel ''Amon'' cranks the violence even higher up, showing more blood, gore and nastiness in its 45-minute run than the whole TV-series did in 39 episodes. Similarly, ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' cranks up both the gore ''and'' sex, combined with an overdose of DerangedAnimation.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' had its first anime adaptation [[{{Bowdlerize}} considerably toned down its]] {{Gorn}} for an early evening broadcast on Creator/TVTokyo. (Not helping that this was during its MoralGuardian days where they also [[LighterAndSofter cut out much of the violence and blood]] out of fellow ''Shounen Jump'' properties ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' and ''especially'' ''Manga/Reborn2004''). Come 2016, when ''D.Gray-Man Hollow'', a SequelSeries to the first anime debuted, showed ''a lot'' more of the gore and violence from the original manga, and was not at all toned down, due to a mix of its [[OtakuOClock late night airtime]], and a more lenient TV Tokyo as a whole. (Especially since fellow very violent anime like ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' and ''LightNovel/ReZero'' also air late at night on the channel.)
* The ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise definitely fits the bill. When you compare the tone and nature of ''Manga/DragonBall'' to that of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', it's night and day. Granted, ''Dragon Ball'' became violent in its final arc (King Piccolo), but in ''Z'' the blood and gore are [[StealthPun off the scale]]: limbs being torn off; characters ''regularly'' coughing up rivers of blood; ''children'' being tortured, murdered in cold blood or paralyzed; mass genocide of entire races; people being decapitated... and the Namek Saga [[UpToEleven gets even worse]]. On top of that, the manga is even '''more violent''': if anybody were to explode it would start raining blood and if anybody's head was crushed or destroyed (which happened ''very'' frequently), you would see '''parts of their brain splatter all over the place'''.
* ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' doesn't use BloodlessCarnage, unlike the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] it is based off of. Ritchie and Ash's battle ends with [[spoiler:Ash's Charizard nearly killing Ritchie's]].
* Mocked in the unaired final episode of ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', appropriately titled "Going Too Far". Hyatt coughs up enough blood to [[spoiler: flood the planet.]]
* One would never have expected that ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' could ever be made bloodier, but ''New Fist of the North Star/Shin Hokuto No Ken'' shows more splattering blood and brain matter in more loving detail than anything else from this series, before or after.
** Hell, compare the TV series to the 1986 movie. For the first time, Toei Animation got to show all the LudicrousGibs the original manga had to offer, and with an impressively high budget (by anime standards) to boot! That is, until MoralGuardians forced the producers to [[{{Bowdlerization}} blur, tint, and cut out]] any gore that wasn't just HighPressureBlood or a FreezeFrameBonus.
* ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'' has some scenes that are more violent than anything from [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime adaptation]].
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has both an anime and an OVA, the second of which follows the manga's plot more closely. While both series have their share of blood and gore, the OVA takes {{Ludicrous Gibs}} to [[UpToEleven another level entirely]], which in of itself gets much more grisly at the series goes. Compare Alexander Anderson's attack on Seras at the beginning to Zorin Blitz's death. Hellsing isn't just bloodier and gorier than other series, it's bloodier and gorier than Hellsing, too.
* The Manga adaption to ''Manga/InazumaEleven'' has more blood and detailed injury scenes than in the original.
* ''Franchise/LupinIII'' is a series generally known for its lighthearted antics and BloodlessCarnage; even the more adult manga and versions of the show generally avoid the gorier aspects in favor of stylized violence. Therefore, most Lupin fans found the appropriately named ''Anime/GoemonIshikawasSprayOfBlood'', focusing on Lupin's samurai companion, rather shocking in how it averts the old style hard, and is full of [[AnArmAndALeg severed limbs]], HighPressureBlood, and [[FlayingAlive gruesome injuries]].
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'', in addition to being DarkerAndEdgier, also ramped up the blood and gore. Where previous seasons kept the casualty count of InnocentBystanders off-screen, ''Force'' introduced the new villains by having one of them leave a bloody trail of dead nuns. Where previous seasons reserved bloody battles for {{Wham Episode}}s or final battles, every battle in ''Force'' has had one or both sides being covered in blood or losing limbs without a GoryDiscretionShot. Where the bloodiest thing that happened in the previous seasons is impalement, the ''Force'' season has the Eclipse Infection as its main focus, which makes people undergo BodyHorror that ends with them exploding in a shower of blood and brains.
** While the ''Nanoha'' franchise has never shied away from blood before, ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation Detonation]]'' is by far the most visceral carnage seen so far (with the possible exception of ''[[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce Force]]''), which includes the slaughter of the Planet Restoration Committee, [[spoiler:the aftermath of Nanoha and Fate [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe blowing Maxwell apart]], and Nanoha's battle with the last Iris Unit that ends with [[AnArmAndALeg her missing a arm]].]]
* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''. While the franchise has never been a stranger to violence (being a relatively pessimistic, down-to-earth HumongousMecha vehicle), these two shows were where we really got to see the horrifying effects of its signature immensely powerful sci-fi weaponry, as characters were torn apart by energy beams or simply popped like balloons by microwave emitters. Even the interpersonal violence became a little more visceral, with gunshot wounds causing their victims to twitch and bleed copiously. And then there's ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans]]'', which is possibly the first ''Gundam'' series to be given a TV-MA rating, and features such charming fates as being crushed by your own cockpit.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** The anime adaptation really turns up the blood involved in the fights. In the USJ arc, Aizawa and Shigaraki's injuries are particularly more gruesome than in the manga, full on with pools of blood oozing out of them. Any injuries given are also depicted in loving detail.
** Later arcs become even more gruesome as the manga and anime get DarkerAndEdgier, [[CerebusSyndrome starting with the]] [[KnightOfCerebus Stain]] arc, whose own Quirk involves [[BloodMagic paralyzing the heroes by drawing then tasting their blood]].
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' generally averted BloodlessCarnage, but the StealthSequel series ''Manga/UQHolder'' amps up the violence. In ''Negima'' seeing a major character lose an arm was generally a huge shock. In ''UQ Holder!'', the protagonist gets dismembered in the opening chapter, he wins his first fight by [[ItMakesSenseInContext letting his opponent decapitate him]], and later on [[spoiler: literally has his heart punched out of his chest]]. Good thing the series is about immortals.
* ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'', where the original GainaxEnding was replaced with mass slaughter. At least to start with.
** The second ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' movie has the Angel Sahaquiel's death go from a standard enormous explosion to transforming into a tsunami of blood that engulfs Tokyo-3.
* Played for morbid laughs in ''Manga/OnePiece.'' Roronoa Zoro [[SerialEscalation loses progressively more blood in each]] of his major one-on-one fight scenes as a subtle RunningGag. Keep in mind that, according to WordOfGod, he had already lost [[BeyondTheImpossible nearly twice as much blood as a human body can survive]] through during his ''fourth'' fight. The pool of blood seen in the aftermath of his fight with [[spoiler:Kuma]] takes this UpToEleven. Although it stops being funny when it turns out he [[spoiler: didn't completely recover after that last incident...]]
* ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'':
** The manga in general, when compared to the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} games]]. See the infamous scene where an Arbok gets non-lethally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe chopped in half]] for an example.
** While battles generally still aren't ultra violent and bloody, the six generation stands out with [[spoiler: Rayquaza sucker punching Zinnia in the gut hard enough for her to ''vomit'' copious amount of blood, and the amount around Lysandre's head when he fell from a serious height into some spiky rocks.]]
* Due to the monochrome color it's hard to tell what's blood and what's bruising, but ''Manga/PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure'' is more violent than its [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl source game]]. It's especially noticeable during the Hareta versus [[spoiler:Mitsumi]] battle.
* ''Anime/PsychoPassTheMovie'' is free from the censors put up by TV networks where they can show lots of people getting down brutally. While it's known that being blown up by the Dominator's Lethal Eliminator mode is gruesome, the movie shows the actual remains of it.
* ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':

** Likewise in SpinOff manga, ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'', ''Oriko'''s very first chapter has people being eaten alive.
** ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica'', the other SpinOff manga, [[spoiler: suddenly gets much more violent from [[WhamEpisode Chapters 4 onward]] when the story takes a sudden turn towards CerebusSyndrome. Like ''Oriko'', it is also more violent than the parent series.]]
* The ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' movies and TV specials are a lot bloodier than the show, notable examples include in the first movie Happosai gets stabbed in the neck with a kunai and a lot of blood flows from the wound and Monlon entangles Ranma in her lute strings shredding one of his arms and causing a lot of blood to spray.
* The manga of ''Manga/SandsOfDestruction'' doesn't shy away from blood at all, whereas both the original game and anime adaptation used plenty of BloodlessCarnage (despite the heroine's {{BFS}}).
* InUniverse, the virtual worlds of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' become this for the ''Alicization'' arc. Justified in that the first two seasons dealt with virtual videogames, while Underworld is a more hyper-realistic virtual simulator designed for ''combat'' purposes (which includes having no pain absorber), hence why the wounds the characters suffer in it are a lot nastier.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' ''[[TheMovie Lagann-hen]]'' was pretty bloody compared to the original series. Simon [[BloodFromTheMouth coughs up blood]] twice, [[TitleDrop the]] Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann bleeds, the Anti Spiral bleeds... It probably helped that Gainax wasn't bound to the Saturday morning timeslot.
* ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' turns into this about halfway through the series. While the anime completely bypasses that part, the manga gives us quite a few nice and bloody scenes. It starts with [[spoiler: Fai's EyeScream in [[CrapsackWorld Acid Tokyo]]]] and skyrockets when it reaches Celes Arc. Complete {{Deconstruction}} of the happy-go-lucky GottaCatchEmAll kinda love story (full of [[HoYay subtext]]) that you just sit there wondering [[MindScrew what the hell just happened]].
* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'':
** ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', when compared to [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry its predecessor]]. It was so violent, Japanese TV stations had to pixelate it.
** Speaking of ''Higurashi'', the manga compared to the anime. It's much gorier (but is [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids still aimed at teens]]).
** Most of the individual arcs of both of these shows get Bloodier and Gorier over time.

Inverted with the TV adaptation, which while more faithful to the manga's story and characters, tones down some of the more violent scenes. (Kotori's aformentioned death, and the infamous EyeScream are both turned into a GoryDiscretionShot.)

The girls end up battered and beaten after each fight. [[spoiler:Gin's death]] scene is [[HighPressureBlood especially bloody]].
