According to your list, you have somehow not yet watched Death Note. Get on that ASAP. Additionally, some gambling anime pull interesting twists as a part of their game so try Kaiji and maybe Akagi for the same author... Though the latter kinda requires you to know mahjong. Shinsekai Yori also has some 'oh snap' moments, but that's slower pace.

Personally the biggest most unexpected twist that I experienced was in the middle of Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, but that series is nowhere near as flashy as the other ones I'm recommending.

The plot twist accurs near the end of the series tho... So you can just continue to read the anime for more plot twists.
OMG WAIT there was a season 2 which is fking bad drawn totally different from season 1 I really couldn't look at it ughh... No hate tho I got used to it later. But I also recommend to continue with the manga.

Samurai Flamco has a number of such plot twists, but they don't appear until around episode six.

Shinsekai Yori. Though it is more of a revelation, since it happens in the final episode, in any case, it is a good anime overall, watch it.

After looking your list, i think you should watch all of Urobuchi Gen's work like:
- Fate/Zero (This is the best action anime for me, and of course the best Fate)
- Madoka Magica
- Guilty Crown
- Aldnoah Zero
- and Urobuchi Gen's other works

If you want to try the others maybe you should watch:
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
- SteinsGate
- Death Note
- Code Geass

Hope you'll like that

The most surprising plot twists for me were from:

Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works

Eureka Seven

Made in Abyss

Mirai Nikki

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

I've seen plenty of better plot twists, but these are the ones that were really unexpected.

Ahh.. Actually i already finished reading Death Note long ago, i did watch the LA movies
but i never actually watch the anime series.
I think i've watched a movie called Kaiji The Ultimate gambler and it's pretty good, i think i'll give it a try. I've tried watching Shinsekai Yori if i recall it right from my memories the artstyle not consistent and shounen ai is not really my cup of tea.

I really wanted to watch Ginga Eiyuu, it's already sitting in my plan to watch list getting dusty. i hope i can find the right time to watch such a long series.

Akito is still very good, trust me. Although not as amazing as the original. Also I forgot to mention Shinsekai Yori has ABSOLUTELY STUNNING plot twists. Even the ending is to this date one of the best plot twists in anime. It looks really innocent and childish, BUT DONT BE FOOLED. The plot twist half way through will screw with your mind.

I disagree. This was less of a plot twist rather than the synopsis lying to you. I watched the movie before reading the synopsis, and figured out most of the movie 5 minutes in. The only way that you'd think this was a good twist is if you read the synopsis first - in fact, this movie might have been alright if I hadn't read the synopsis at all.

Code Geass is noteworthy though, it is definitely a twist unlike the above, and it is actually very enjoyable.

@leewie

to be fair you really need to play the 2nd Game witch dont have a anime to understand what happens in Danagnronpa 3s both Arcs because both animes where made to to fill in the missing parts of the 2nd game that they couldnt fit into the game because if you dont play the 2nd game it will most likely leave you with more questions than answers where as if you have played the 2nd game it will most likely anser the questions you had from the game

anyway i'll say what ive said to people who say the didnt like the anime a lot the game is better than the anime its hard to fit a 33 hour game into a 13 episode anime so obviously the pacing would be off and thay would have cut bits and less character development if you wont better character development and that play the game all though it might be a bit spoiled though because you seen the anime and the best way to play Danganronpa is not knowing what happpens

I'd just like to point out that Shinsekai Yori is not a shounen ai anime. There is exactly one episode where guys (and girls!) kiss, but it is to show off the social structure, which encourages gay relationships as a temporary stage, similar to ancient Greece. In general the show is not focused on romance.
