Tired of brainless slugfests between overpowered characters? Bored by high school love confessions in coming of age romance? Sick of watching yet another slacker get isakai’d away to a fantasy world where his most perverse desires come true? It sounds like you need something smart, a “thinking man’s choice” of anime. What you need is a psychological thriller – heart-pounding cat and mouse games between brilliant minds. The punches thrown here are intellectual, not physical! Enemies aren’t outmatched through strength, but outmaneuvered through wit! In these anime, it’s the nerdy ones that get ahead! These are the ten best psychological thriller anime ever made – your IQ will rise at least five points with every episode you watch.
