This is a list of all the yanderes I've seen and are in shows good enough to want to watch based on my preferences. The genres are all different, but the ladies are all crazy (in love). Some of these may be a little too much for folks sensitive to horror/disturbing themes so do your own research (ESPECIALLY with Happy Sugar Life)! Not all of these are 10's but they're at least a fun ride.

Full of despair and disturbing are understatements when it comes to these anime.

Warning: if you're not a hardcore horror/psychological fan, watching these may leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Mostly anime that try to follow Knox's rules of detective fiction, with few exceptions. Only includes anime I would recommend.

Could still include more Conan-related stuff, Mouryou no Hako, Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace and others.

Sometimes, you just want to see cute characters suffer.
I think I got a good amount of anime here. So, I'm closing suggestions for the stack unless the anime is from the Summer 2023 season or newer. If you have an anime that fits that, send me a message and I'll check it out.

This collection was composed of mystery and horror animes. Some of animes were purely mystery and some of them were combination of both. They are great shows that will make your mind blown and thrilled at the same time. It may be the animes aren't meant for everyone but I still hope you'll give it a try. They are still enjoyable to watch.

If you want to watch an anime portraying a character with a different vibe from their perspective. If they're a psychopath, murderous, not your typical "good" main character, or makes us go, "oh, that character's so wicked," even for a moment, it's on this list (one entry per series - no sequels).

Main series + OVAs:
-Higurashi no naku koro ni
-Nekogoroshi-hen (OVA)
-Higurashi Kai
-Higurashi Rei (OVA)
-Higurashi Kira (OVA)
-Higurashi Kaku (OVA/Movie/Uncanon)

Sequels:
-Higurashi Gou
-Higurashi Sotsu

Extra: This series is also a VN and Manga, apparently both of those routes are better to take than the anime but I've not read either so I can't give my input ^^;
I'd also like to mention the 2020 remake of the original (Higurashi Gou) It is argued that this isn't a word for word remake, infact a good bit of it will be hard to understand if you have not watched the original, I also hear that you're meant to have seen umineko beforehand too? So it's quite confusing.

Take everything I've said with a grain of salt, I only started watching this series this month and am just finished the main series + OVAs at the time of making this. However I am almost certain that the order, at the very least, is correct as I got this info through two long time members of the community. ^^

Tired of last episodes being an advertisement to read the source, or left waiting for next seasons that won't come? This list includes anime originals, complete adaptations and original endings that tell a full, conclusive story.

Long/medium anime ver (30 or more episodes from start to finish).

Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω・)ノ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)
