I don't really quite have a top 5 quite yet.
But some I remember liking were Desire, Dividead, and Jewel Knights Crusaders.
I'm a bit iffy on recommending Saya no Uta.
The gore and blood is fine, but I think they took the sex slave rape scene a bit too far. I understand the style it was written is part of the genre, but it still left me feeling disgusted.
Utawarerumono is definitely not one I would recommend. It wasn't as entertaining as I would imagine it to be.
In my opinion it seems to serve better as an anime. Since it was pretty much just telling you the story with no hidden paths or much of a choice in the adventure. Only thing it allowed you to control was the battles. Although, the battles were fun, it did not mix too well with the overall enjoyment. I actually looked forward to fighting more than the story at one point. At one point it felt like I was playing an RPG that had too many cutscenes.
Some I wanted to play were Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. However, I fear that having watched the anime might ruin some of the elements of playing it as a graphic novel.
FateStayNight anime only covers like 30% of the whole story since it gone into the fate route with alittle here and there. Trust me, you will still enjoy the hell out of it.
Tsukihime anime does not exist, what you seen must be some 3rd grader spinoff that is similar.
Play Fate Stay Night and Tsukihime Visual Novel, highly recommended to anyone, watched anime or not.
