Short Peace (anthology; mostly good, with the fire story notable for its animation, and the final short film an engaging exploration of near-future warfare using networked soldier squads assisted by drones and robotic suits)
Death Parade (expansion of Death Billiards, as an episodic series; stories remain a bit heavily focused on suicide and murder, but while the dark background story arc ultimately ends in a whimper, the main story arc ends in a very emotionally satisfying way)

Death Parade

I watched the first episode of this, but found it too torture-porn-y. Is it all like that?

No. I think that most of the episodes don't reuse the organ thing.

They use psychological torture instead.

Yep, much better.
