The 21 Most Dangerous Locations in Anime History

The great Isaac Newton once said, "We build too many walls and not enough bridges." Clearly Newton never had to deal with deadly naked giants that craved human flesh. In the apocalyptic anime, Attack on Titan, the last remnants of humanity live in fear of gigantic humanoid creatures that suddenly appeared 100 years ago and nearly wiped everyone out. These Titans are naked, wear horrifying grins on their faces, and love nothing more than snacking on humans mindlessly. 

To survive, humans created three enormous curtain walls to shield themselves from the Titans. A solid plan... until a 60-meter-tall, fire-breathing Colossus Titan comes in to crash the party.

There's no fate worse than death... supposedly. For the inmates of Deadman Wonderland, getting death row would be a dream come true. Sharing the same name of the series, Deadman Wonderland is a twisted prison that doubles as a savage amusement park for tourists. Inmates must wear collars that continuously injects them with a poison that's neutralized by eating a special candy every three days. 

However, to buy the miracle sweets from the prison staff, prisoners must earn currency by performing in life or death challenges. Just trying to stay alive during these cruel performances would make anyone yearn for lethal injection. 

The Neo-Green Life, or NGL, is an autonomous region in Hunter x Hunter that favors the old way of life. It's not exactly a life choice, as citizens aren't allowed modern medicine and technological goods, suffering either imprisonment or death if they violate the rules. 

As if living in NGL wasn't harsh enough, the region later becomes the feasting ground for the mutated Chimera Ants and its queen. Spoiler alert: Lots of people are eaten.

The Abyss is a mysterious, giant pit that stretches down into the farthest depths of the world. It's filled with dangerous creatures as well as ancient relics and hidden treasures. When Riko and Reg decide to travel to the Abyss, their adventures are seemingly innocent and pure. But viewers of this series know that the Abyss holds truly terrifying forces that are nightmare fuel. After witnessing Riko and Reg's suffering, you wouldn't want to venture anywhere near this world.

With every superhero movie nowadays ending in near destruction of Generic City X, it makes one wonder why anyone would continue to live in urban cities. One-Punch Man, the anime superhero parody, provides the most believable answer for its citizens of Z-City: the rent's cheap. Yes, Z-City might be the home to such a plethora of monsters that even Godzilla would be overwhelmed, but affordable housing is hard to come by. 

Here's a good idea: Tear down a haunted school known for its relationship to serial kidnappings and murders. Bad idea: Build a new school right on top of the haunted one. End results: An entire class of youthful students who are viciously killed by supernatural forces. 

That's the story of Heavenly Host Academy, the infamous school that continues to haunt teenaged victims in Corpse Party: Tortured Souls. Not a place anyone should be trying to attend.
