As in, what piece of media that you enjoy has the most disgusting, repulsive or otherwise appalling content? Anything and everything included: rape, child murder, bestiality, prolonged torture, extreme gore and so on.
For me the Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer) manga is the current benchmark in this regard. There's hardly a boundary it won't overstep. I don't think a single part of the human body gets away from the series without being stabbed, pierced, punched, slashed, split, cut open etc. Every single main character, bar one, is an amoral thug or socio/psychopath. There's scenarios in it I couldn't have come up with in my wildest fantasies, some of which made me genuinely feel physically sick. The story is one escalating spiral of madness and the crazier it gets, the more you want to keep reading just to see what lunacy you'll witness next.
I genuinely enjoyed reading it the first two times, and do expect to do so when I someday read it for the third time. It's specifically the unapologetic insanity and will to show the reader things they never wanted to see that makes me enjoy and appreciate it. It's one of those things that constantly walks the line between horror and comedy, and shows how close the two are. I might even buy it online one day, that's how much I like it.
Which reminds me of another seinen manga I really enjoyed that also had some really nasty stuff in it: Shigurui, aka Death Frenzy. The ultra graphic content in it is fairly sparse in comparison to something like Berserk, but oh boy when it hits, it hits like a freight train. There's one particular surgery scene in it that will forever be burnt into my memory as one of the most graphic scenes I've ever seen in anything. It, as well, is quite good and I've thought about buying all the volumes some day as well.
Your experiences with this?
