| Psychological anime are fine but I am not into more Dark, I mean there are Psychological anime aren't Dark but I don't like that involve religious theme like Death Note or EVA give something like Kino or Boogiepop those more of human nature. |

| I don't watch a lot of psychological anime, but my personal favorite anime in the genre is Hell Girl. |
| I am using the best palette swap. |
| 2 psychological anime that still pops out of my mind are: Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space and Cat Soup are avant grade films that feels to be pretentious and its up to the viewer for their imagination get the idea (make up of something) of director's message. At the end of the day, you're end up leaving an impression "what did I just watch this weird film". It is my favorite to recommend someone to watch a "real" psychological anime |
| I make OC maymay |
| Few good shows, for example Gakkougurashi! and Death Note. |
 |
| I guess I'm inclined to say I like them, but there's a very fine line between excellence and cheesiness |
can't yuck my yum  |
| kaiji ultimate survivor or kakegurui comes to mind. for me there are many mind games that can be inserted durinng gambling moments. besides that, even the despair transitioned into violence as gamblers lose it all is not far from reality. |
Of the shows in my list that are tagged as Psychological themed, there are many in which I either missed the psychological part or there was not that much emphasis on that aspect in the anime.. dun mean I didn't enjoy them, I did, but not for the psychological theme as the focus.. One of the oldest titles of psych theme in my list is Warau Salesman (1989).. it's plot resembled a well known story in my region... really liked the short stories in the series.. One anime movie which I think should have been tagged under this theme but was not is The Sky Crawlers (2008).. Other titles I enjoyed from the past two decades are RahXephon, Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, Steins;Gate, Fruit of Grisaia series, AI no Idenshi and Pluto.. |

| Well Death Note is Psychological and it’s my fav and I find myself liking a lot of psychological shows so yeah its Great |
| "What do you think of Psychological Anime?" Those are really hard to nail, still multiple authors try to write such and the results are often outright stupid. My Home Hero is the perfect example of serious themes and outrageously dumb interpterion of those. Another case of aggressively bad psychological title is 86. So once in a blue mood we are getting decent stuff like Id:Invaded or Oooku, but most of the time it's cheaply written trash. |

| As any other medium, most psychological shows are just not very well presented. Most ideas for psychological shows are great which is why the genre attracts quite a big audience, but the execution is usually poor and unsatisfactory. |
 |
| My favorite genre. We need more it.. |
 |
| I love anime with a lot of introspection, but... MAL uses the psychological tag only if there are mental breakdowns or battle of wits (even if super shallow like Kakegurui). Even if I usually embrace modernity this is one of the few genres that had way more good anime in the past, the only good psychological anime of the 2020s is Pluto so far. |
 |
| Psychological anime tend to be some of the best I have ever seen - and there are too many to list them, but you generally all know which ones I'm talking about. I hope for more of them in the future! |
 |
| Paranoia Agent, Monster, Madoka Magica and Ergo Proxy are among my favourites. Wolfs Rain, Berserker, Fate/Zero and Psycho Pass also have psychological elements but they are more focused on other things. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Psychological is one of the most entertaining themes overall. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| I do enjoy some Psychological anime. It tends to fall under the radar despite having some really good examples. Needs more love Some of my faves: Banana Fish, Monster, Shiki, Shigurui, Inayushiki, Stein's Gate I definitely need to watch more though. |
