I want an anime with an unusual MC.

Not the typical one ,, like the super hero that doesn't let any one die or the wimp type etc ...

For example :-
Death Note (Evil MC )
Classroom of The Elite (super smart and athletic and do things behind the scenes)

I don't care what is his character ,,, just "unusual" is enough.

This is pretty broad... 'unusual' can mean a lot of things - you'd probably get better responses if you were more specific - since you mentioned death note, is it that you're looking for an anti-hero or villainous type character? Or a highly intelligent mc who pulls strings? 'Super smart and athletic' isn't exactly unusual for an anime mc...

Super strong and athltic is usual
what is unusual is that he hides all of it ,,and doesn't want to show it ,,, it's complicated to describe his character if u didn't watch the anime.

And yes ''unusual can mean a lot of things '' i want ''anything'' that is unusual
cause i am getting bored with the usual type.

I nominate the medicine seller in "Bake Neko," the final arc of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales, and its continuation, the series Mononoke.

Well if you just want 'not typical anime mc' and you don't have a preference for character type, some good ones are:

Mushishi - this guy is super chill and very different from most anime mcs (and mushishi is a very different kind of anime, too.)

Mononoke - the mc is a pretty unusual spirit-slayer... everything about this anime is super weird and different.

91 Days - ruthless mc will do whatever it takes to get revenge

Higashi no Eden - ridiculously carefree guy that still manages to wield a lot of power

Jormungand - he's a former child soldier so... that's pretty different. And the female mc is pretty wild too.

Michiko to Hatchin - there's really no other anime protagonist quite like Michiko.

Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou - well there's nothing really typical about any of these characters, they're all weirdos, including the mc (despite his normal looks). This anime is hilarious.

Speed Grapher - it's hard to easily describe this mc but he's definitely not typical. Also he has a wild superpower. This anime is really brutal though.

Like I said, your request was pretty broad, so idk if any of these are what you're looking for, but you can check them out.

Hrmm, I have some rec'ns but they're all light, web, and visual novels. I'd suggest you give reading novels a try since seeking anime series with your pref's is very difficult. Giving Kiyotaka Ayanokouji an example means you're looking for a protagonist who is clever, calculating and unruffled or unfazed in every kind of jeopardy and shocking situations. Adding Light Yagami means you're also seeking for a protagonist who will not hesitate to do dirty and grotesque things for the purpose of achieving a goal.

The following kinda suits your prefs but it's really up to your judgement. Therefore, I'm not certain if they'll twitch your urge. I did came across a certain user who asked for rec'ns with Kiyotaka Ayanokouji as an example but I can't seem to remember his/her name. I've given him/her the same novels. If you find this redundant or annoying, well, feel free to delete or ignore this message also if it serves as irrelevant. Here goes nothing.
