But if you want shows that actually shows character's psyche: Mushishi Monster Koi Kaze NHK ni Youkoso Haibane Renmei Eve no Jikan Serial Experiments Lain is worth a watch, though I'm not completely sure it fits. Ghost in The Shell movies tends to fit, TV series not as much. | ||

And holy cow, I'm on like episode six of Haibane Renmei. It's so boring to the point where I'm feeling like a million things are flying over my head. | ||

To just fling insults randomly to back up what you say is really dumb. I do agree with all of your recs though, except for Koi Kaze since i haven't watched it. | ||

On another note I find it interesting how for anything to qualify as "psychological" (whatever thats supposed to mean to whoever) seems to need to have "grim dark." as a pre req more often that not. edit: oh and best psychological anime --- FLCL + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/flcl/images/4/4f/Amarao033.jpg) | ||

I agree that it doesn't necessarily make something bad, but it's hard to enjoy something that you don't understand. As for whether that's the viewer or the creator's fault, well, I guess it depends. I tend to blame myself for not understanding and then trying to understand what I just watched with the help of my old friend the internet. | ||

I don't mind real Psychological, or rather, I love it just as much as you. But when people call Code Geass, Mirai Nikki, and even second half of Death Note "Psychological", how can you take the term seriously? | ||

Even FLCL kind of fit). | ||

None of those are psychological.

Psychology as a whole is a rather grim topic. While it has some uh...less grim parts to it, in the end it is connected to what we generally see as negative no matter how you spin it around or sugar coat it (as some more psychological sports series, anime or real, tend to do). The exception is when it comes to growing as a human, but even then there are negative tinges here and there. The term grimdark is really overused though. | ||

Exactly, that's why I said people are using "Psychological" to mean random shit that just doesn't make sense even though they are not psychological at all. | ||

From what I've watched, Paranoia Agent is a decent psychological show. On April 11 2013 23:39 ragz_gt wrote: Haruhi count as "too old" anime nowadays... A friend of mine told me Angel Beats qualified as old. | ||
