No longer was it about the MC fearing death in another world. Instead of being another generic isekai or SAO clone, Re:Zero explores save points like in video games.
#ZANKYOU NO TERROR EPISODE 2 BLOG SERIES#
With a second season on the way, one of the last decade’s biggest anime series has no signs of slowing down.īut while Re:Zero is a fine example of what White Fox can do (then again, they made Steins Gate much earlier), the story itself is exemplary. At least for them.Ī-1 Pictures did a terrific job with the adaptation, and Season 2 is shaping up to be just as fantastic as S1. It’s silly, but honor and pride are on the line. Everyone sees them as a perfect couple, but they’re not in an actual romantic relationship.īoth Kaguya and Miyuki already have feelings for each other, but neither wants to confess first. Two of the smartest and most revered students in all of Japan are in the same school. To be fair, it is a school-based comedy - but it’s also quite ingenious in the realm of psychology.
I mean, it’s just a bunch of teenagers in a school-based comedy, right? Kaguya-sama: Love is War may seem like an odd entry here if you only look at the poster. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) But the people playing still have to quickly make their decisions. It’s filled with tough moral choices and often involves grief and regret. Bbut that doesn’t ruin the enjoyment I got right from Episode 01 (or, you could start with the 25-minute Death Billiards).ĭeath Parade forces two people who died to compete in a randomly chosen game, which will decide whether they get reincarnated or sent to the void. Its ending didn’t exactly feel conclusive. In a world where anime studios & producers often don’t make a lot of profit, choosing to produce original stories is a high risk since it doesn’t have a built-in fan base.īut Madhouse took the risk and went with Death Parade, one of the most refreshing anime series in the last decade. I have deep admiration for original anime. But there’s a catch: He has to work at her so-called store and help people get their wishes granted. Thankfully the eccentric lady Yuuko Ichihara says that she can remove his power. The show features a guy named Kimihiro Watanuki who can see supernatural entities. I know you might be freaked out with the character designs here, which is all about slender legs and arms that seem far longer than necessary.īut if you can forgive that aesthetic choice, I implore you to try xxxHOLiC - both the 24-episode Season 1 and the arguably better 13-episode Season 2 (along with the four OVA episodes if you have time). I don’t know if the new (but sadly delayed) 2020 anime project can live up to it. Yes, it looks like another one of those shows where a city guy goes back to the rural side of Japan to relax and forget about the chaos of the urban jungle.īut given that I did include this anime here, it is psychological - it’s very psychological. What I can tell you is that it aired way back in 2007, but has maintained its fame (or infamy) over the years.
It’s hard to recommend a show like When They Cry, when one of its best elements is the surprise factor. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) Seeing characters reach euphoria and then crash to the deepest levels of despair is a guilty pleasure - and MAPPA didn’t hold back with their outrageous facial expressions. It’s hard not to admire the impressive design of characters like Mary Saotome, Kirari Momobami, Itsuki Sumeragi, and Yumemi Yumemite. But it’s very much enjoyable (and the same goes for the second season).
And it gives off a femme fatale vibe, which was fitting for a series starring someone like Yumeko Jabami. The song was catchy and the accompanying video was oozing with desire. I still vividly remember watching the OP for the first time. Kakegurui (Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler) Still, it’s not impossible to find great psychological anime - you just have to know where to look! And some of the best ones are right down below. Psychological anime don’t come in big numbers like other genres, so finding even one good title for each new anime season can be difficult. No matter, I’ve grown to appreciate anime that carefully examines and portrays some pretty wild emotional states. Perhaps it’s due in part to all the psychology classes I took in college, or maybe something else entirely… I might sound edgy or elitist for saying this, but I can’t deny that many of my favorite anime are psychological ones: and I never even actively sought titles under this category.
