This is a long one text post, so head's up:
Looking for a Mystery and-or Horror Anime that was on a T.V Anime Block (maybe be SyFy channel?*, or even Starz)
See, I watched on a anime on a TV block back around… I'd like to say around the 2010's, probably the mid-2010's at best guess.
I remember watching it around Halloween time as it appeared on either the Syfy channel or the Starz channel that was promoting "Mature"/"Adult" anime (blood, guts, nudity, etc) on either a limited anime focused block (to test the water or something) or of a pre-existing one 'just changed for the holiday season.
I've been trying to find this anime for years with no luck, but I do remember a few good chucks of the first episode that may help identify it; though again, it has been a good few years since 'so my memory is hazy on full details, and may have mixed or confused other details over the years .
The initial premise of the anime, if I recall correctly, was set in a high school where a fresh female teacher got a assigned to a new school 'specifically a class of trouble makers/perverts. Her colleague showing her the ropes is a buxom, blonde haired, sultry sexy type; with a red open long-sleeved blouse (or dress shirt) black mini-skirt[*?], garter sock stocking and heels.she has a very laid back attitude, with an aloof personality. given the school she works in is pretty bad (I think)
the new teacher is a glasses wearing, black haired 'braid (either a single braid ponytail, or braided twin-tails) a green jersey & matching sweatpants; which given to her by said colleague as protection, since as soon as she walking into the class a pair of male students are laying on the ground to take an up-skirt photo of her, which fails thanks to the track-suit given to her.her personality is quiet and a bit squirrel-ish, being a new teacher and all; the typical naive 'innocent heroine protagonist.
Her colleague steps in the class with her, where said students take an up-skirt photo of her instead 'which doesn't phase her, she teases the new teacher a bit & scolds the students while she introduces her to the class.
then after trying to introduce herself to the class, who don't listen, I think this is where the scene cuts to either an alley or underpass of some maggots 'or slugs, eating a guy with blood everywhere, which is still day-time.They may be demons, aliens, or man-made monsters that escaped that are now causing issues as I do recall a shady group of people and maybe some scientists; as one group is trying to find these monsters, while other ponders where the maggot-slug things are.
I think I also recall that these creatures can control peoples bodies to attack others as semi-mindless zombies. Though I can be totally miss-remembering things since, all I remember is up until that alley/underpass scene I described. but everything is even hazier after the class scene. so I can only provide so much info
and that's it I guess; a horror anime that showed on TV around Halloween time around mid 2010's on an anime block on either the SyFy or Starz Channel, about man-eating demon or man-made maggots/slugs monsters about to wreak havoc on the city. With a quiet, squirrel-ish Teacher heroine.
ANY leads are greatly appreciated; I've been looking for years with no luck. its making me feel like I may have hallucinated the whole thing for how dry I've come up over the years.
so please, for the love of GOD. I hope SOMEONE knows what in the hell I am talking about.

>>3310that could be the case, but the part with the teacher & student I remember too well; it's been stuck in my noodle far to long to feel wrong.
plus the artstyle was one of those more serious types, ya know the ones

>>3334the problem here, is that all these various channels you describe would often run absolutely random and completely disconnected OVAs belonging to completely unrelated and independent series. There was lots of dystopian/dark ovas from the 80s and 90s that only had 1 or 2 episodes. But lots of shows were made by the same studios so they might have a similar style which lead your young brain into believing they were part of the same series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxrkJi5_ybAhere's a series about a vampire chick killing monsters in a school setting. she belongs to an organization that hunts down monsters. does it look familiar?
heres some snipits of some really violent ovas and movies of the 80s and 90s:

>>3350that would explain why it's so hard to find; and it wasn't "Blood the Last Vampire", odd history that "franchise" has 'still like it though.
as for art style; again it had that typical serious gritty anime look if I can recall 'or at least the non-exaggerated look like "GTO" or "Golden Boy". The characters looked realistic for the most part, no super big eyes or "anime" hair as as much as I can recall
Hell, now that you brought it up 'it could've been an short OVA series or movie, and not a show-show; this fucking anime has been stewing in my mind for years 'at his point I starting to assume it was some REALLY vivid dream or something 'but I'm sure it isn't. I just can't find any fucking leads beyond what I've posted

>>3354another thing to add that tells me this wasn't a dream or hallucination. I re-encounter it once one youtube, just twice fucking though; when I went back to look for them, found nothing.
This we before youtube became an AD infested blight, so those videos are long gone by now 'but again, this was my only proof this was not fake to me. One was an actual cut of the thing, while the other I think was part of a comp; that's it though, both used that opening I mentioned though. The latter half has always been something I debate being part of the show, but it the only other part I recall 'so I keep it in just in-case

>>3355To make things even more confusing, there are a few anime 'series' that got played which were just independent art/experimental movie one shots. Robot Carnival is one example of that, and I think it played on Starz.

>>3373nope not that either, again 'the teacher was squirrel-ish 'being a new teacher and all; Like this show & manga though, fun time

>>3409oh when I said "GTO" art style, I was mainly referring to it not having the typical "anime"; like I said, the folk looked pretty normal.
it why I also said "Golden Boy" as an example; sorry if I confused ya with my odd wordings
