Anime Rec List: Psychological/Thriller

Here are some of my favorite anime that are categorized as “psychological” on MAL (MyAnimeList)! Check them out!

The Promised Neverland

Death Note

Parasyte: The Maxim

Erased

Death Parade

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Best Anime EDs

A list of some of my favorite Anime EDs, or ending songs!

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ED 1

This ED is pretty iconic, as its adorable cartoonish style is a harsh contrast to the sometimes dark and grim storyline in FMAB. The song is really great too.

Toradora ED 1

I’m a bit biased because Toradora is one of my favorite shows, but this ending song is just so cute and I love the umbrellas so much.

Erased ED

This ED has really excellent animation, utilizing a cool saturated lineless look. If you’ve read the Erased manga, there are also some easter eggs hidden within.

Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai ED

I love this ED so much because it changes 5 times throughout the show, representing each arc with each different girl (if you know the show, you’ll know what I mean). I linked the first ED that focuses on the character Mai, but each ED has a different voice singing each one. I’m not 100% sure, but it appears to be sung by each character’s respective voice actress.

The Promised Neverland Season 1 ED

This song perfectly captures the creepy, unsettling nature of the show!

Anime rec list: 12-episode series

If you’re like me, you might be averse to watching anime that has way too many episodes. Who’s got the attention span for that? (A lot of people, yes, but not me)

Here’s a list of anime with 11-13 episodes total that you can binge in like 2 days if you’re fast

Erased

Yuri on Ice

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War *(has a second season coming but is still gr8)

Anohana

Usagi Drop

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

ReLIFE *(also has a 4 episode OVA that I would highly recommend)

Best Anime OPs

Figured I’d create a thread of my favorite anime OPs, aka opening songs. Feel free to add your own!

Toradora OP 1

I may be biased because this is one of my favorite anime of all time, but the song is a BOP and I’m a sucker for character cards. All of the protagonists are so cute!!!

Attack On Titan OP 2

There’s a ton of hype about the first opening to Attack on Titan which is valid cuz it does slap, but my personal favorite has to be the second one. The animation is fantastic, and I love the way the music matches up to the action you see on screen. Also, symbolism.

Made in Abyss

I just really love this song, and the animation in the opening is really cute and fun (and uhh a bit misleading... in actuality this show is a lot more horrifying than it is cute)

Erased

Another song that absolutely slaps, but the animation is really cool and rife with symbolism as well. It’s also really interesting watching this back after knowing all the plot twists and seeing the hints that were left.

March Comes In like a Lion OP 1

This anime means a lot to me, so this song gets me emotional pretty much every time I hear it. The visuals in this opening are really interesting because they don’t show any other character besides Rei (the protagonist) but the entire thing is symbolism and if you watch the show it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for reading!
