Sup,
Can you guys recommend me on an anime where one of the main characters (doesn't really have to be only the MP) is secretly op/has some kind of dark past/secret? Stuff like Overlord and Chromed Shelled Regios, Mob Psycho or even SAO and DanMachi. Preferably something that isn't harem or super childish and dumb like Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica.
Other animes that come up to mind with similar topic are Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, DN Angel, Darker than Black, etc.
Oh, P.S, the MP can simply have a cool OP/unique power like in Toaru Majutsu no Index.
My favorite settings are fantasy+action worlds (like DanMachi and Overlord) but it doesn't really matter.
Thanks!!

Noragami
Tokyo Ghoul (Hide the fact that they are ghouls)
Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku (This is a manga, but they're making it into a anime if you want to check it out later)

Hmm i recently watched akame ga kill, characters in the assassin group are very strong and has a dark past. And also Bungo Stray Dogs, one of the characters, Osamu Dazai is able to nullify others' Abilities on contact and he has a dark past as well.

I've seen the first two (and liked them too), I will check the third one even though its harem cause you said its good, thanks!


I am already watching that one actually! It does fit perfectly to what I'm looking for but one is not enough :p

Season 1 was pretty boring imo, kinda slow too. Is season 2 worth the watch?

The first few episodes of season 2 are definitely worth a watch. Some have said that they were the best few episodes of the year. It starts off with Dazai's background and focuses on a character we haven't met yet. I found it really enjoyable.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! is about a demon lord who has fled from the world he was close to conquering when Emilia the Hero corners him. He finds himself stuck on Earth with hardly any demonic power left, and gets a job at the local MgRonalds. His powers come back two or three times again in the series, and in those moments he is very OP.

Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate has a dark past, though it's pretty obvious just from the way he acts. He's pretty monstrous himself.

Fate/Zero has a dark past for pretty much everybody.

Kyoukai no Kanata is one of my all-time favourites with a beautiful storyline and beautiful animation. If only the last 10 seconds of the show hadn't ruined the whole thing- The MC, Akihito Kanbara, is half-dreamshade (half-demon) and is immortal because of this. He acts normal and cheerful all the time, but really struggles with who he is and has had a lot of really bad experiences in the past that make him fear himself. Mirai Kuriyama is trying to kill Akihito, but she also has her own dark past.

Season 2 of bungo stray dogs is better than season 1 in my opinion, it revealed more of Daizai's dark past and also displayed his intelligence more. The mc also get a lot more stronger than before. Daizai seems more like the mc to me.

Have you watch chalortte? The mc has overpowered abilities and each of the individual in the series has their own past or stories as well.

Well I haven't finish season 2 so I can't really tell you if its worth it or not but the first 3 episodes that I saw was about Dazai's past and god damn, it was good. We get to see another side of Dazai that wasn't shown in the first season.

Anyway, rely on the people that have finished it since I can't really give my full opinion about the series... yet. :( Sorry. :(

I think you can try to finish the series. I wonder will they come out with another season of it, a lot of good anime did not have a complete ending :(

I am planning to finish the series but I just didn't have time and I was focused on a different anime so yah. :(( I had a lot of questions about the first 3 episodes and I'm pretty sure that this questions will increased (or decreased) throughout the series so I hope that these questions will be answered, and if it doesn't, then we do need a another season. :((

I have seen all of those except Fate/Zero (or any anime of the Fate series), guess I'll go see them now. Thanks!
