psychological thrillers

[Unagimaki]

Im looking for some suggestions on some pyschological thrillers. Nothing to sci fi.. i dont do well with little kids or giant robots. although i love FLCL. Death note along those lines.

This is just a side note and the show is not about suspense, but the last two episodes of Marmalade Boy were THE holy shit moment of almost anything i have watched.


Kimi No Guzen Eien (the spellin g is wrong, but i am lazy to find it) was pretty suspensful if you watch it weekly and not all at once. It had probably two of the most annoying main characters ever, BUT in the end it did deliver suspense i persoanlly believe.


I am not sure if Grave of Fireflies has suspense because i have never watched it, but because of the nature of the anime and because it is very sad i think you can count it.


Also i have never watched Monster, but i head it was a REALLY good anime and because of it's horror aspect it will probably have many suspensful moments.



However what you are looking for is that "HOLY CRAP WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT" and Death Note i believe delivers that better than any other anime. It is only in the first 8 episodes on top of that, so i think it will give you the most suspense you can look for.

I recommend MONSTER and Paranoia Agent. MONSTER is my favorite anime series while PA is up there, too; PA s much easier to get into, though, seeing as it's only 13 episodes versus MONSTER's 74. I highly recommend both, though, especially if you like Death Note - though the action moves much faster in Death Note.

I second Death Note. You might also find Higurashi no Naku Koro ni to your liking.

go and watch gantZ if you want something really head banging

Thanks. Ive seen both paranoia agent and gantz and agree there both very good. I think im gonna check out monster....any others?

To some extent, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. It's what I'd call a psychological-political thriller. One of the major questions throughout much of the movie is why Fuse (the main character) didn't shoot.

I've heard a lot about Perfect Blue, but I've never seen it myself. It might be worth checking out.

I second Higurashi, though, I tend to hide under my covers whenever I hear their laughs.


I would recommend Ghost Hunt, a neat thrilling anime about Hunting Ghost (Oh, really?).

Though, only three episode are out so far, I enjoy it none-the-less.

I'm gonna suggest Jyu Oh Sei. Its only eleven episodes so it seems rushed at times but its good. Night Head Genesis is good to. The psychology isn't accurate but its entertaining and it has suspense. And yeah Monster is a great show. I love it.
