| Modern world is largely obsessed with technology making such a story seem outdated. Anime are often made for merchandizing either the source material or merch. The modern artstyle for anime are generally more like blobs than legit faces like in death note. Moral standards do exist for anime nerfing dark mc personalities like Naofumi. |

| Huh? Go to the mal anime search, filter by season and year, and review every season from 2006 to today, and try saying the same thing again with a straight face. I don't see you complain about the heaps of shounen and ecchi trash that used to fill each season in the old days. Then filter by genre and tell me death note is the last mystery anime ever made. |
gamibo said: Psychological,mystery genres are practically dead in animes. They absolutely never were "alive" to begin with... Psychological and Mysteries are somewhat niche genres. gamibo said: Madhouse was particularly interested in making Mystery animes. They were specially aiming for not so popular/niche/outdated works (or simply Original projects) , to experience with them in Animation. That was until they stopped doing that to focus on very popular stories to adapt to get money. That's what led Maruyama to leave the studio and create Mappa , to continue experiencing with such stories. But the same thing happened in Mappa , and thus he left to create M2. So i'd suggest you to follow what that guy is doing , you'll probably like it. (They will release Pluto in a few days.) Aside from that... just use the search engine. |

| pretty sure you're just not looking. Literally madhouse themselves released some good stuff like AI no Idenshi and Sonny Boy. And if you look at other studios you can find stuff like Odd Taxi, Summertime Rendering, Promised neverland (which never got a second season.), Link Click, ID:invaded etc. and all of those are relatively recent and only a tiny selection of stuff in the mystery category being released. Just because you only look at Isekai and shounen shows doesn't mean the others suddenly stop existing. Every year dozens if not hundreds of good shows that aren't shounen or Isekai are released you just need to actually look for them |
| It would be difficult to produce at this stage. Nowadays, simple and easy-to-understand stories such as "different worlds" tend to be preferred, and sponsors are probably reluctant to pay for a story that is difficult to understand because they are not sure if it will sell even if it is produced. Also, in the case of genres such as psychological themes and mysteries, if the original story is based on a novel or manga, it may be produced as a live-action drama or a live-action movie rather than an anime adaptation. |

| Practically speaking, those kinds of anime have always been the minority, with the ones you listed being essentially exceptions rather than the rule. Generally speaking, though, a lot of it comes down to the simple fact that these kinds of psychological and/or mystery-driven series are simply really difficult to write, and the uniqueness of their premises also makes them high-risk investments for producers compared to more standard & mainstream genre fare. Additionally, I will say that, of all the shows you’ve fit under the banner of mystery, there’s very little actual commonality between them, which makes me question whether this is as common a trend as you might think. Death Note is a mystery only in as much as the in-universe characters are deciphering a mystery while the audience is practically omniscient and the show’s actual appeal is the psychological battles rather than the thrill of piecing together a puzzle like you’d normally qualify a mystery show to be. Same goes for Death Parade, which is really more of an episodic philosophical parable with some mystery elements than an actual mystery show imo Comparatively speaking, Attack on Titan is a mystery anime for all intents and purposes (with the way so many elements seeded throughout the show are pieced together by both the cast and audience alike to discover the truth being the driving force for most of the series) and it’s arguably the most popular anime of the last decade, not to mention that one of the most hyped upcoming anime is Pluto, a mystery series. So saying mystery is dead in the context of its existence almost feels laughable. Also gonna have to call you out regarding the Madhouse thing. Anime production is a complex process, and most people in the community seem to just not understand that studios rarely have to do with the actual story of the series they animate. The idea that most studios are heavily involved with shows outside of animation work, to the point of having any trying to assign any kind of signature style to studios regarding genre or the like, is one of the more eye-roll inducing misconceptions the community can’t seem to help but perpetuate |

| Because that's pretty unpopular and most mangakas and studios want to make stories that will sell well |

 I spared your life on a whim, nothing more. |
| youve seen 33 shows, for some reason including only season 2 and season 5 or higurashi? I have to assume you aren't the best at finding shows. |
