    Im currently watching through Kurozuka. Very good so far and very dark. Think Ninja Scroll/Basilisk with Death Note's animation style and vampires set in a post apocalyptic Japan.

    Well.. dark?

    Bloody dark:
    "Devil may cry"
    "Hellsing"
    "Hellsing Ultimate"
    Cyberpunk dark:
    "Bakuretsu Tenshi" (eng. "Burst Angel" - best mecha anime ever for me)
    Psychological and dark:
    "X"
    "Angel Sanctuary"
    Magical and dark:
    "Rental Magica" (very good but you need to watch whole series to understand whole plot since the timeline isn't ... normal ^^')

    There are more I could recommend and bit less dark like "Venus versus Virus" or "XXXholic" and "XXXholic Kei"

    New Getter Robo. There are some Ninja Scroll like elements in that, and it's dark and violent.

    Akira has a nice edge of darkness... I should be ashamed of myself for the things I refuse to watch then eventually do. Akira is a true epic.

    I really liked it,but i felt it let me down somewhat,probably due to preconceptions to what was going to happen

    Erm actually no,i meant the ending. But if you want to read that much into it...princess mononoke had messages about protecting nature for example. But i wouldn't read too much into akira. Just felt it was built up for me,and then felt it fell short of what i was expecting.

    The ending is what i meant. they built up like you were going to learn some ultimate truth, and then a very strange ending indeed. Apparently the manga did it differently.

    Very very differently. Im only on volume 4 but Its different from the start. Far better than the film but the films very good in its own right.

    Urosukidoji and Barefoot Gen are two I have noticed nobody has mentioned.

    Also Paranoia Agent is dark, but more psychological.

    Fullmetal Alchemist is excellent - the juxtaposition of the light hearted with the messed up stuff is great. Be forewarned though, it does has cutesy/adorable parts.

    I'll throw Aachi And Ssipak out there too as it's batsh1t crazy and has some pretty dark parts. Opening five minutes here (quality isn't the best):
