Is it true that there's no better salvation than not being born in this world? Is the world that ugly that it's not worth living in? Should I even give it a chance?

Here we are on this earth, with only a few decades to live and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, great thoughts, real affections, and enduring undertakings. For life is too short to be little

warning: include theme of death and or nostalgia

Anime that has the smoothest animation/art style that you shouldn't miss. Something with many frames per second as well as beautiful, vibrant colors, that you don't have a single moment where you'll feel bored.

DO YOU LOVE BEING WORRIED? IS ANXIETY YOUR BEST FRIEND? DO YOU ENJOY BEING ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT 24/7?

then welcome to my thriller stack!!

I'll add to it as I go.


Shows being here are purely based on two things:

1. I have to have seen them. I mean how else can I decide if they're good or not, listen to mal scores? The same score system that put demon slayer season 2 above vinland saga, made in abyss and the freaking disappearance movie?

2. they have to be good thrillers. They DON'T have to be good in every way possible. The thriller aspect is the only aspect that matters here.

Hope you find something new to enjoy :D

Also, subscribe for APolygons2 for the thrill of doing something you haven't done before, that being listening to the instructions of a mal stack!

A great soundtrack can really set the mood and elevate your watching experience, it's one of the reasons why anime is so enjoyable to me.

Like analysing a characters pshyche while watching anime? Then here's some shows you might be interested in
Though not all belong to the psychological genre, they all focus to some degree on the psychology of the characters

Most of the anime on this list are also pretty dark and deal with themes that can be tough to watch
So i wouldn't recommend this stack to the faint of heart


list will expand

These anime center around male protagonists and/or antagonists who are a combination of most the following:

1. Has a dangerous level of ambition and is thirsting for power.
2. Is extremely manipulative and treats others as pawns.
3. Is morally grey or corrupt.
4. Thinks the ends justify all means and is ruthless.
5. Has a genius level intellect and/or a mastery of skills.
6. Masterminds intricate plans.
7. Is very charming and easily gathers a following.
8. Is very attractive and uses that to his advantage.

These characters are Machiavellian and sometimes psychopaths. An important note is that these traits do not automatically mean villainous, although characters in this category often are. All characters have to have a key persistent role in their story, constantly driving the plot (can't be a villain who is only revealed at the end).

All entries name the relevant character(s) in question. Entries are ranked by how prominent the character is in their story.
