The hardcore gangster anime Banana Fish has been going strong ever since its debut in Summer 2018.

In other words, it gets dark. Really dark.

Today, we’ll be taking a glance at five of the scariest moments in the first cour of Banana Fish.

The life of a gangster is nowhere near safe, and this anime isn’t about to let you forget it.
