Perfect Blue, Paprika (ish), Paranoia Agent, Serial Experiments Lain, Evangelion + EoE (hasn't everyone seen that by now though?). The recommended ones in the img are recommended. I would not recommend Welcome to the NHK, personally, but I suppose psychological fits it? Kaiba and Kuuchuu Buranko are definitely worth a watch despite their animation style. Kino's Journey is not really psychological, but it is 10/10. Lastly, Texhnolyze is another good psych anime. It's sort of like an inferior action version of Lain. @ragz_gt What if I told you Madlax was a super deep psychological anime? | ||

Regardless of how the later volumes of ZnT turned out, it's sad that I would never get any closure from this long series... | ||

Here it seems that Code Geass and Death Note are the worst series of all time, while some random slice of life's and Sailor Moon are the deepest works ever written by human hands. Well, the metagame sucks, I like Code Geass and Death Note :D | ||

Well, the metagame sucks, I like Code Geass and Death Note :D They are entertaining but not good. And yes, taste varies depending on where you look. Take a look at MAL, then look here, then look somewhere else. CG and DN tend to be very popular among people who are rather new to anime. | ||

It doesn't fit kyoani's business model now anyway, unless they repeatedly get killed in sales tamama style they aren't gonna bother animating Haruhi. I am sure kadokawa sneakers would want to get some new adaptations out of their library but I doubt fans would bother if it wasn't kyoani. So yeah~ Besides unless we skip a bunch of stuff and just do Sasaki-san shit will be boring. "Possibly because of Haruhi's VA and the scandals around her." Didn't stop the Hyoubu spinoff to get her to do Kaoru lol even if Shaft quickly dumped her from Shinobu. | ||

There's nothing inherent about psychology that makes "dark" things psychological - the study of mentality can easily be geared towards the positive. The only reason "dark" things are considered "psychological" is that people think "psychopath" plays a large role in psychology, or that a dark subject must be psychological because of some preconceived notion that no other genre explores such "deep, complex" nature. From what I've watched, Paranoia Agent is a decent psychological show. A friend of mine told me Angel Beats qualified as old. Id like to meet this friend of yours, and have a drink with him. =) On April 11 2013 22:47 ragz_gt wrote: 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? Ouch, shots fired. | ||

Anyway I consider more Maaya to be a good thing. And Hirano was in GuP as the evil radio operator for Saunders. She is not a bad VA, but her songs are rather hard on ears... It's kind of interesting that she was seen as biggest star of the show at the time, but Minorin ends up being the most successful by far (unless you count Sugita who was already pretty established). I guess they can do a vol 9/10/11 anime? Suou Kuyou would be cool | ||

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. In most cases, I'd blame the creator. It is their job to make an anime understandable for their viewer. So in most cases, if an anime is made that people cannot understand, I can probably dismiss it as bad writing. Although, this isn't a set in stone rule, as sometimes people are just stupid and there isn't much the author can do.

Anyway, I'd say that the most favored anime in this thread would be like LoGH or something. | ||

It's safer to read books for great stories and watch anime for ambiance, visuals, voice acting, music and a lot else... unless you want to be disappointed 75% of the time. Of course, there are bad books and anime with great story, but shitting on an anime with somewhat flawed story, yet good everything else (like Death Note, imho), doesn't really make sense for me. Edit: And by the way, this is independant of the "What is psychological anime or not?" discussion. I totally agree that Code Geass is not psychological at all. Death Note until + Show Spoiler + Dumbledore dies | ||

Suou Kuyou would be cool I felt I needed a better argument than "because KyoAni is evil and that is also the reason we won't get more FMP".  Anyway, not long until Railgun S2, please don't fuck up terrorist Misaka, J.C Staff. If you do that part correctly I'll even allow the second half to be filler and anime original content... If they do follow the manga "correctly", I wonder if they'll cover the ongoing arc too. Probably not, it's most likely far from finished in the manga anyway. | ||

When I think about anime like Serial Experiments Lain or even Texhnolyze, they have their psychological elements, but I don't think Lain was that dark and I even thought Texhnolyze wasn't as dark as some people say it is. I think the beauty of Texhnolyze is that a lot of its messages are up to interpretation and a big part of Texhnolyze is humanity finding ways to survive in pretty paltry conditions, which I find to be pretty uplifting for an otherwise bleak show. edit: Zeke said it much better than I could have >.> I don't think that's what Texhnolyze is about at all. Texhnolyze is pretty fucking dark. Well ok maybe a little bit. But just a bit :< | ||
