This might be a little vague, but I love watching the Main Character outsmart the enemies. Instead of Brutally getting stronger .
Instead, I love seeing maybe an undercover character that Outsmarts its oppenents when he/she is really in a pickle. Do you guys know what I mean?
They just make you think about what just happened, instead of saying "Oh cool, he learned a new power"

[Here's a hint, click the links so you know what I mean, those are time consuming to make you know :C ]


Oh jeeze, thanks for the feedback, better add all of those to my Plan to watch list!

The first thing that comes to mind would be Conan but I don't know whether this is exactly what you mean.
Maybe Psycho-Pass is what you are looking for, even though both parties, the detectives and the villian are pretty clever and try to outsmart one another.

You probably is talking about Kaiji, and about Darker than Black.

Seconding Zetsuen no Tempest, Kaiji, Akagi, and One Outs.

Adding Fate/Zero.

Detective Conan is full of nice mysteries with Conan trying to solve them, but it's pretty long.

Removed a rather uncalled for comment aimed at the OP and the reactions. Other than that, carry on.

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubo ni shichinin.

Not a definite main character but the main character certainly shows those qualities.

You should try Hunter x Hunter (2011). Yes, it's shounen but one of the main characters is probably the type of character you're looking for. Unfortunately, the arc I'm referring to takes a while to get to. But watch it anyway.
