If you mean graphic violence, Elfen Lied.
Ninja Scroll has an extremely gory fight in the introduction but the rest of the film is a lot more reserved. Also, there's a huge difference in tone between the two films that makes the violence in Elfen Lied seem horrific while the violence in Ninja Scroll seems campy and tongue-in-cheek. It's like the difference between, say, Martyrs and Evil Dead 2.

It's like the difference between, say, Martyrs and Evil Dead 2. What about the gore/violence in Robocop and Maniac (1980)? Kinda the same contrast. Most of the gore in Robocop is hilariously over the top. There are moments where it's supposed to be funny (the executive getting shot by the ED209) and other moments where it's supposed to be horrific (where Murphy gets killed) but the overall tone of the film is light, fun, and humorous so you don't come away from Robocop feeling sickened or disgusted. Well, maybe some people do, but more from the gore effects themselves than what they are in the context of the film. Maniac, on the other hand, doesn't have gore moments you're supposed to cheer or laugh at. The tone of that film is dark, depressing, and serious. The film wants you to be disturbed by the acts of violence depicted. |
