lol, hells no.
I don't even go on twitter very often.
I really want to say something witty and fun right here, but I'm just say, just because her interests may align, doesn't mean her personality matches.
You see, I can't go here right now, lol

Yeah, that's why I liked MAL - for as low quality as its community and administration are, they at least let you have a simple, organized, functional list. Oh well.

Idolmaster was never ahead of LoveLive.
When was IM@S on the throne?
In order, I'd recommend:
Paranoia Agent (slightly Lynch-esque psychological thriller)
Higurashi: When they Cry (looks like a generic SoL at first, but it doesn't take long before things get... interesting)
Umineko: When they Cry (it might interest you if you end up liking Higurashi, but be warned that the latter half of the source material never got adapted in the anime)
Another (starts Lynch-esque, but then turns into a hammy and really cheap version of Final
Destination)
Then there're other horror shows I've heard about but never watched, such as Yamishibai, so you might want to look into that as well.

To Be Hero 10
huh the idea of it her being story with the useless absentee father, the consistently self-centered lecherous male figures, and the hope of a hero arriving to rescue her from this life sure elevates this over the toilet humor trajectory it's been on. that part's clearly misdirection in hindisght.

With the discussion of the MAL Nazi fiasco, I'm now realizing that Hitlers 'appearance' in Drifters wasn't particularly negative or humorous.
In terms of Western presence, yes, since Love Live has actually seen releases of its Smart Device game (School Idol Festival) and the anime, including cinema screenings of the film.
But overall, no, since iDOLM@STER has Xenoglossia under its belt, and, therefore, can never be dethroned, not even by something as promising as Idol Jihen.
I could've pictured it working better if it woudl've split the gags into short episodes, but 21 minutes apiece felt like too much for a gag series that focused on a single gag (Sakamoto always looking cool and coming out on top).
There're some series that actually play around with their gag (ie: OPM), but Sakamoto plays the Gary Stu character so straight it gets boring, because his inability to fail means that any dramatic tension the show might want to build up when someone plots against him is moot, and the "how will Sakamoto get out of this?" question is always answered "with the grace and poise of a purebred Gary Stu"... meh.

Xenoglossia doesn't exist.
Since we are talking Another again, there is one thing I want to ask( although knowing this anime it's probably just a plot hole).
I mean, I can come up with a good reason for it, but I don't the anime did.
Why are these people dying? Alright, one of them is a ghost, how does this cause these deaths?
How are these 2 connected?
Is the ghost killing them? If so, why?

How odd, I actually think the UI in Kitsu is better than MAL. At least you can have the names of shows actually be in English rather than forcing you to have it in Romanji.

Filthy gaijin!
More like why do people still go to a school where people can die every year?
I don't think this is ever explained.
Do you mean the connection between the MC and the Ghost or the MC and Mei? As for why all this happens no idea. If it is the Ghost the only thing i can imagine is that the ghost is an asshole to everyone, like most japanese ghosts. They also never explain why it only effects this class, do they?
Miss, Pdot is lying again!
Nazis
It's always Nazis.
Someone wrote a contributor article on anime about defeating Nazis and after putting it up, edited it (without informing the original creator) to be less critical of Nazis. It went from being a list of anime about 'kicking Nazi ass' to just 'anime featuring Nazis' and removed lines indicating disapproval of the recent resurgence of Nazism. Then added another 'positive' Nazi character to balance it out. All of which is fucked up.
Allegedly because someone involved with the site was livid at the original article.

Thanks, I think I just found the thread about it. Ugh.

Figured as much. I guess this important plot detail is just taken for granted.
Well, nobody know who he is, but he founded the pretty fucked up and racist (or whatever you call discrimination of elves and dwarves) empire.
The anime sure as hell has problem make these assholes look bad.
I think the explanation is as follows:
- Every year, the curse resurrects somebody and has them attend that one class, rewriting the memories of everyone related to them (but not pets, because yeah)
- Every month, the curse randomly kills off someone in that class and/or someone related to it
- If the returned person is killed (by the curse or otherwise), people stop dying for that year
- Every month, the curse randomly kills off someone in that class and/or someone related to it
- If the returned person is killed (by the curse or otherwise), people stop dying for that year
I never got why that first incident actually set things off, because the deaths could never actually be attributed to that first student at all (death by lightning, anyone?). To me the curse was basically
a stupid non-entity that'd constantly revive someone and then play death roulette hoping to kill that very person with no rhyme or reason.

Weird that they took out all of the Suzuka references, including the main song.

Cowboy Bebop and Death Note are generally pretty safe bets. On your list, I also think FLCL is fantastic, though it doesn't really fit the horror/mystery criteria at all.
In terms of other works in the genres you're looking for, Satoshi Kon made some of the best. Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Paranoia Agent are all absolutely worth watching. You could also watch some shows directed by Hiroshi Nagahama, namely Mushishi and Aku no Hana. They're not exactly horror, but thanks to his command of mood they fall close enough (and they're just generally great enough) that I'd recommend you check them out.
Lastly, I'd suggest seeking out From the New World, which is an excellent piece of speculative science fiction.
Hi, where can I read the infamous twist for this.

The change in staff is terrible and the writing sucks now. Dropped.

I mean, which one?
Looking forward to your visits once Trump mandates any anime shown in America to be made in America.
