Top 5 Psychological Anime/Manga (Recommended + Reviews(?))

1. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Kai/Rei)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...characters.jpg

- Just dont get fooled on the first episodes, it's not a Harem story that you think.


Well, if you want some full gore with different plot twists/scenario, I recommend you this one. This series is heavy with mind games and gore. If you thought for a second that it is nice to live in Hinamizawa City, Well think again. it houses strange and grisly history. At first, this anime will confuse the shit out of you 'cause of different arcs/stories and perspectives. but if you stick to it, the Hinamizawa secret will reveal itself.


2. Elfen Lied

- Don't let the art style, extreme gore knock you out, this anime is smarter than it looks. In this anime with the characters traumatic backgrounds will make you sympathize to them. Alienation, Racism is one of the anime tackles on. Even though watching it all over again makes you feel that your emotions was played into.

3. School Days

- Well this anime is kind of Harem, But if you wish to be Makoto, dont choose the wrong path or it will lead you to your end. I kind of pissed off in this anime, especially to Sekai, she's just like your typical female friend gone bish. But all in all, this anime is worth watching. ( i just wished they didnt censored the last episode though '-' )

4. Battle Royale

Well obviously this is not an anime yet (I just hope they make one of this in anime, not only a live action). This manga is not your typical High school story setting with romance on the side. "Do not trust adults" is the main catch in this manga (and also in the live action). This talks about mainly about the strict education, friendship, and gives us lecture about whom to trust or not to trust (well if you're going to a field trip better bring something, you never know). The live action has 2 seasons.

5. Psycho Pass

- This anime is kind of like at first "boring" but when you watch it till the end, the episodes are kind of mind boggling, in some episodes you'll kind of have the "how's that even possible?" reaction. At first it seems kind of simple, tracking down criminals by their kind, allowing Sybil to determine how dangerous they are, and letting the Dominator judge whether the person would die or just get paralyzed but this anime does a brilliant job with exploring moral ambiguity and making the viewer question which side to support.


Sorry if the reviews are kind of crappy. I'm half asleep though. re-watched this all. all over again in the thought I could give good reviews but Q_Q

It has a live action (movie) though, and it has 2 seasons too.

I hope the live action movie is good unlike deathnote which completely was a failure in my opinion x_x

ima check out live action movie then :D

You wont be disappointed in the live action of that though! :D
Well Yeah in my opinion too it was, also the live action movie of Kuroshitsuji. but I must say Kuroshitsuji live action is good.

ima watch it abit later or tommorow but imo deathnote deserved much more for an anime which is considered one of the greatest

Yes it is. I do like the anime much better than the live action, it has more impact than the live action.

School days has a terribad ending, like wat.
I think your list is missing:
Mirai Nikki - proper psychological survival deathmatch
Corpse Party - proper gory and crazy as ef you see kay - Good luck charm goes wrong and they're trapped in the school forced to hullicinate to death and gotta revert the spell n shiz.
Zetsuno no Tempest - psychological conversations which blows yo fking mind in an adventure to find the murderer who killed main's sisterr
deadman wonderland - not aspsychological but very good
Another - fk me meng, proper creepy

Err. Welp it's actually my top 5 list. and I havent watched Evangelion, just starting to watch it though. so Idk, maybe i'll post another or some ( ' ' ; )7

Battle Royal is a novel, and a great one at that. I hate to see rips-off to manga like that :/
I think you all know I watched too many animes, so I do like them, but I love novels just the same, and 99.99% of the case, it's a radical deterioration that happens.
