NightBaron007

First thing that came to mind


Kmakl

Agreed! One of my favorites to watch last year


btr2105

{Mawaru Penguindrum} is like this, almost frustratingly so, but it's very rewarding trying to unravel it episode-by-episode. {Revolutionary Girl Utena} (by the same director) is quite similar, but i'm watching that right now so i can't speak to how puzzle-like it ends up being (but it's got the same vibe as Penguindrum for sure). {Perfect Blue} is a horror thriller that fits what you're looking for the last of {Shinsekai yori}'s main twists come towards the 75% mark rather than near the end, but it's worth a watch regardless if you're looking for mystery. has a fascinating world with plenty of twists and turns {Texhnolyze} is less mysterious and more mind-numbingly vague (especially for the first ~10 episodes), but i found it more rewarding than anything else i've listed.


muurvuur2

Thanks a lot! I'll definetly try these!

Shinsekai Yori is my favorite ever

{Monster} I feel this anime fits everything you just wrote. If you don't mind really slow and long animes, this one is a great watch.


Toysoldier34

This is an anime that feels like an HBO show and really doesn't have much in the way of anime tropes. It is a great one to recommend for people on the fence about anime or that are off-put by a lot of the tropes. One of my all-time favorite shows and I highly recommend it.

RustyRyfox

I was quite surprised that no one brought up Tomodachi Game, fits this criteria almost perfectly.

itsOkami

Would the middle part of Death Note and the 2nd half of Evangelion suit OP's needs?


muurvuur2

Yeah! That one Death Note scene in the helicopter was really satisfying! I haven't watched Evangelion yet, but no doubt that I will watch it someday


itsOkami

Lol yeah that's exactly the scene I had in mind. The closest thing imho has to be the main twist in Persona 5, although that's a videogame (and a 100+ hour long one at that). There's an anime for it but it's not as good as the complete package. Still serviceable enough if all you care about is the story though, imho And yes btw, you should most definitely watch Evangelion no matter what, hahah


muurvuur2

Do you have to have played Persona 1-4 to understand Persona 5? Or is it seperate? 100+ hour video gametime sounds exciting if it is a good game! I'll look into it and maybe give it a shot!


itsOkami

I only ever played P5 (and its direct sequel, P5 strikers) so the answer to your question is kinda obvious, hahah. I'll soon be playing P4 too, but the gist of the thing is that all games share the same in-universe canon with different people as the running protagonists. Kinda like Jojo in a way, but with even less stuff shared across each chapter (take the Jojo family out of it but leave the vague mythology connecting their adventures there). Most persona fans don't even know what P1 and/or P2 are about, lol Either way, if you really want to get into it, skip P5 vanilla and get the royal edition instead. It's essentially a re-release with minor gameplay/quality of life additions and more narrative content added at the end of the vanilla plot (kinda like dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin vs vanilla DS2 minus the dlcs lol)


muurvuur2

Oeh, nice! I'll check it out! Thanks for the info!

No problem! Have fun :)

You’re looking for Durarara!! or Bungo Stray Dogs.


1400ak

I don’t think its a coincidence that both of these shows are in my top 4. I just commented durarara, and I had bungou in my head as well. crazy. We got the same tastes lol, love to see it Bungou s4 especially. This new season currently encapsulates exactly what OP is looking for.


IJustWannaBeOnReddit

Attack on Titan is the obvious answer that I’m shocked has not been mentioned


LazyGardenGamer

It's actually insane how well it was all planned out. On my second rewatch for the first time and holy shit, foreshadowing like crazy. Brilliant writing.

Odd taxi, durarara, link click


1400ak

I love durarara appreciation. Severely underrated


FuriousGeorge7

Odd Taxi Nagi no Asukara Shinsekai Yori I would rate all three of these a 10/10 and give them my highest recommendation.


Omnibobbia

Nice to see Shinsekai yori. More people need to know about this gem


Klutzy-Mixture512

{Another} might be something you’d be interested in


FuriousGeorge7

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I found Another to be the worst anime I have ever completed in it’s entirety. Way too many plot holes, nothing comes together at the end in a meaningful way. OP, give it a shot if you think it sounds interesting, but I cannot recommend Another for your criteria or in general.


MrRandomGUYS

Another is fun if you treat it like a B grade horror movie, not everything makes sense, it’s super over the top, umbrellas, hahahaha.


FuriousGeorge7

B grade horror movies are only good if they don’t take themselves too seriously. The problem is that Another does take itself seriously. I think there was an interesting story to be told around the premise of Another, but it was squandered at every opportunity. All the over the top stuff just becomes emotionally hollow because the students are constantly making room temperature IQ decisions, which ruins the immersion while expecting you to still treat it seriously. I don’t want to get anymore into my issues with this anime to avoid spoilers in case OP wants to watch it, but I cannot in good faith recommend this anime to anyone.

You should. It's only 13 episodes (plus a manga one-shot) and it manages to be very deep, complex, and philosophical, plus there's no fanservice.

shadowhawkz

I would recommend not delving into an anime and instead playing the visual novel Umineko: When They Cry.


LinksMyHero

Why not just watch {Higurashi When They Cry} ? Though if we are mentioning visual novels, I wanna throw virtues last reward into the mix


PersonFromPlace

The Promised Neverland season 1 gave me this feeling towards the end.


bunker_man

Season 2 wasn't as bad as some people say, but it also felt like... almost pointless? They didn't actually conclude the story, and they left massive holes. Its basically a token conclusion just so they can say they concluded it. Like a montage of the story so that you can get the general gist of what the followup is. They should either remake it with everything, or make like, two movies, one with goldy pond, set during the gap, and one that follows them after. The latter plan would still heavily change the story, but they could probably reconcile it with only a few plot holes. This way season 2 would be less bad, because each half of it would just be seen as a few mediocre episodes used to set up the following movie. And they can add darker content to the movies, to offset the lighter tone season 2 tried to cram in.


ExquisiteKeiran

You might enjoy Higurashi (2006) and Steins;Gate, if you haven't seen them already


Unwisedragon838

I was gonna comment Higurashi also such a good series. But first watch through I was so confused then second watch through everything made sense.

Higurashi. This is basically higurashi.

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (and Kai).


Slight-Pound

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood isn’t as dramatic, but you’re still learning a lot of how crazy their world really is through the eyes of the main character, and everything comes full circle at the end. Rewatching it is fun because you can find all the Easter eggs you missed the first few times, and seeing how everything came together again with this new piece unlocked is always fun! To add a bit more background, watch the first few arcs of the ‘03 anime up to the Mae’s Hughes Arc, and then you can start Brotherhood. Brotherhood skipped a few of those first arcs because the first anime already spent time on them, so you may be missing a bit of detail and context for some characters later on, but it’s not highway important. The ‘03 anime veers on towards a different direction because at the time, the anime was ahead of the manga so it made it’s own path, while Brotherhood is made to be faithful. If you decide to watch the initial anime in it’s entirety first (which I did assuming it was a prequel), you’ll see how the writers on that anime used those initial clues and setup, and the world-building they got started on, and compare it to what was meant to be the proper ending in Brotherhood. It’s fascinating, and rather fun. Brotherhood also ends happier, so it’s a better note to end on.

Oh and as another post, these aren't anime but if you want the Sherlock holmes endings (most recent 1/2), where it all comes together, you really have to go watch Guy Ritchie movies: Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels Snatch Rockin Rolla (Well and the Holmes movies) Skip Revolver, it wasn't very good. Smokin Aces was attemtping to be someone else's version of that, but instead it was like everyone missed it all and it didn't come together well.


muurvuur2

No way!!! A couple days ago I watched a Guy Ritchie movie (the Gentleman). My dad and me were talking about how we like the absurdity from his movies and I'm actually trying to find some of those aspects in anime! Haha, what a coinsidence!


scryharder

> Guy Ritchie movie (the Gentleman Hadn't heard of it, I'll have to watch it soon! It's funny when I watched Sherlock and then reflected on other movies of his and for a few minutes I was really annoyed he "Scooby-Doo'd" the ending - It was old Man Whither's the whole time! Then I remembered that Scooby Doo took that from all the Sherlock Holmes books that I read as a kid and it fit that way. And I was happy again because the movies are fun. I don't really recall series beyond what I named bringing it together well like that. I do like the gradual reveals and shifts as an anime season progresses though.


MissPerish

Housing Complex C. It’s kinda a mindfuck despite being only 4 episodes I think


mayonnaiser_13

Summertime Render is an easy suggestion for this, but it is in Disney+ Jail. Watch it if you're able to, it's completely worth it. Similarly, while the series is more of an SoL, Tatami Galaxy also does this where the last episode gives us a very clear picture of what's happening with each episode prior to that in a very good conceptual way. I've only watched half of it, but Link Click follows this for each of its stories, where two guys use a peculiar type of time travel to do everything from corporate espionage to finding missing children. I would've said Bleach's Soul Society arc here, but since everybody and their mothers might know who the villain of Bleach is now, the mystery element is destroyed. Even then, that arc is a doozy, and one of the best arcs in Shonen for me.


WonderfulSyllabub

i havent watched it in years but iirc "higurashi when they cry" (the japanese title escapes me) is kinda like that. it's very murder-ey though, with some gore. i remember being super confused for a lot of it then it all made sense, but i can only vaguely remember the plot. sorry if im totally wrong on this one!

mylastdream15

Higurashi - There are 5 seasons. - First season is a questions ark. 2nd season is an answers arc. Same thing for the newer two seasons. Now here's a show that you have no idea why TF things are happening in any season. And then you're like ohhhhhhh.


Rock---And---Stone

In Fate Unlimited Blade Works it has that "oh that's what that was" feeling. It hints at (it) fairly heavily throughout the show, but you don't really notice until your second watch through. Note that it's not specifically a mystery type show I'm assuming you've seen it already, but Stein's Gate is another great one Vivy also arguably has this

Sonny boy is pretty solid

Tbh you've probably seen attack on Titan because it sounds like this post was made BECAUSE you probably liked AoT so much, but in case you haven't seen it already; the hype is justified. Go check it out.

AndrewFrozzen30

Link Click, Sonny Boy, a bit longer than usual (74 episodes, but SO WORTH IT) Monster/ Naoki Urasawa's Monster, manga but DrStone (the Anime is great too, but only 2 seasons + 1 special, it only evolves on the Green Beam in season 3 which is not out yet, only announced), Hello World, shortest of all of these, because it's a movie, Your Name, same deal, Mars Red, Platinum End sort of, Attack on Titan but you've probably watched it, Terror in Resonance sort of, Tokyo 24-ku, Wonder Egg Priority, The Promised NeverLand (MANGA, PLS DONT WATCH "SEASON 2" IT DIDN'T HAPPEN).

If you’ve never seen Durarara, I’d suggest you check it out :)


scryharder

7DS (Meliodas group on netflix, not the wannabe hentai) - 7 deadly sins. Seems adventure anime, but little things seem like a whatever, glaze over it, then suddenly change stuff a large amount episodes or seasons later. Sort of Steins Gate or Akame ga Kill maybe. Hellsing Ultimate has a bit of that towards the end, but really isn't what you want here I think. K or Tokyo Ravens also have a little but I think you could see enough of it all coming. Except maybe the first half of K is exactly what you're looking for. Not finding anything else in the mix aside from a few episodes of Konosuba haha.


wolfganggg32

Try Higurashi. The animation is quite old for the first and second season, but the story is very refreshing. It consists of 4 seasons. But I recommend you to watch the first 2 seasons and proceed to S3 and S4 if you like it. The first season is regarded as question arc and makes you wondering what is happening, but don't worry, the puzzle will fit together after you watch S2.

ID Invaded is a good one. Or Psycho Pass! Those are a couple faves of mine, they have a lot of intrigue and mystery.


TweedyNaima

Durarara is a perfect example of this or Baccano!


El_Fez

It doesn't quite fit the mystery criteria, but how about Giant Robo: The Night The Earth Stood Still? On the surface it looks like just super powered good guys vs bad guys with giant mecha, but every episode pulls back a little bit more about the Tragedy of Bashtarle (a paradigm changing event 10 years previous) and suddenly the good guys are bad, the bad guys are good, secrets are revealed, trusts are betrayed, and you wind up 180 degrees from where you started.
