Series that range around 11 episodes to 26 episodes and have already reached their finale. Taking into account 2nd parts for the 26 ones.

Anime where characters manipulate others, outwit them, mislead them for their own benefit, etc. Very often, these characters are very intelligent and great masterminds.

Every animated media that has been made, in some way has the idea to tell a story, and to express a feeling onto the watcher. But then, there are some series which has a particular way to evocate it's emotions, and they use different tools to do that. Thought provoking writing, displaying the characters' internal monologues, their struggles and fears, using very particular cinematographic angles, and using contrasting styles of animation, colouring and highly symbolical and metaphorical imagery - these are some of the few hallmarks that the said animation is having psychological themes, and that it is avant-garde in it's approach. This is not limited to any genre, as well.

I do realize that animation like this may not be for everyone, but I do firmly believe in it's artistic merits and integrity. Media like this allows us to peek into the human psyche and probably our own too, and it does provides us with often interesting viewpoints of our world, even if fractured through the prism of the animated fiction. Shows like that also likes to ask us questions without answers, to give us moral dilemmas without solid conclusion, or to put it short, to make us think.

The shows that were picked follows a pattern, the ones which are more straightforward, less abstract and easier to get into will be first, while the list goes down, the more complex and obscure the works will get.

This list consists of psychological titles, which helped me to accept inevitability and cope with fears, thus affected my personality above all others. Anime that makes you realise a lot about the meaning of human life and death, relationships, principles and most important: "self-concept".

Nearly all of them induce depressive thoughts, portray social problems that we face IRL, have biblical references and slow pacing. So be sure that you are in the right mood and prepared to face dark side of reality.

P.S. Despite the hopelessness and predestination you may feel while watching, these works of art still bestow warmth and hope through understanding the uniqueness of existence. The world is truly a cruel place and life is lacking meaning and purpose, yet we got the flustering chance to experience ourselves and the universe we share.

7. Tokyo Marble Chocolate
8. Under the Dog

Estos 8 animes que me faltaron son cortos

This was my first year in the Annual Challenge it was a bit stressful year for me personally but I managed to complete the challenge.

These are some pretty good psychological anime series and movies.. Some are new and some are a little older. Enjoy!

If you want to watch an anime portraying a character with a different vibe from their perspective. If they're a psychopath, murderous, not your typical "good" main character, or makes us go, "oh, that character's so wicked," even for a moment, it's on this list (one entry per series - no sequels).

Is it true that there's no better salvation than not being born in this world? Is the world that ugly that it's not worth living in? Should I even give it a chance?

Here we are on this earth, with only a few decades to live and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, great thoughts, real affections, and enduring undertakings. For life is too short to be little

warning: Death is the recurring theme.

Anime that has the smoothest animation/art style that you shouldn't miss. Something with many frames per second as well as beautiful, vibrant colors, that you don't have a single moment where you'll feel bored.

Tired of seeing the same premise over and over again?

Do you want something that is truly unlike other anime out there?

well then my friend, these series should be perfect!


also, I have a channel named APolygons2 on YouTube. go subscribe to it if you enjoyed the stack. I'm broke, so I need help to feed my imaginary pet. I haven't fed him in the 4 years. so he's been holding my entire family hostage, with a gun!

Most good stories have this, so this is more like, anime that use show don't tell the a lot and do it effectively.

on an unrelated note, go subscribe to APolygons2 on youtube. he is.... umm... just a very cool channel I found. it's totally not my own shitty attempt at making entertainment.

Anime that seem to have researched the subject that they are handling.

for sci-fi for example, that would be how accurate the science is.

This stack is brought to you by APolygons2 on youtube.

please subscribe to the channel if you enjoy this stack. I need to grow, cause I need the money. I haven't eaten in 4 days. My dad ate my dog, that one guy i beat in Fortnite is sleeping with my mom, and my boss fired me because I apparently shouldn't have "added extra flavour" to the burgers.

Mystery is my favorite genre, so trust me when I say I know what I'm talking about... kinda...

mystery is a pretty broad term, that has many different types. so I will help you by specifying what exactly is it that makes their mystery aspect good.

you will obviously not agree with every pick, but I think any mystery fan will be pleased with the overall selection.

this stack is sponsored by APolygons2 on youtube. how does a stack on mal have a sponsor?

what kind of mystery fan are you? don't ASK me, go figure it out!
