Death game/Battle Royale anime

If you want to watch an anime portraying a character with a different vibe from their perspective. If they're a psychopath, murderous, not your typical "good" main character, or makes us go, "oh, that character's so wicked," even for a moment, it's on this list (one entry per series - no sequels).

In the following anime, the protagonist(s) are being monitored (i.e. through a screen, etc.) to the amusement of an audience. There may be other reasons for the set up, but being watched by a group of people who are not directly trying to kill the contenders themselves is the requisite.

Collection of psychological anime that contain interesting themes and elements that make viewers think and inquire about the characters and the complexity of the plot.

Anime where smart / clever characters engage in high-stakes battles of wits using galaxy brain level strategy and 4D-chess moves to defeat their opponents.

(one entry per franchise)

Criteria:
• High stakes
• Emphasis on strategic thinking
• Well-thought out, well-executed, and well-explained plans

(let me know if I missed anything that fits this stack!)

Turn your brain off fun.

you won't find a masterpiece here, but everything is damn fun, even more so when you don't think about it.

note: For "My First Girlfriend is a Gal" watch the dub. Trust me.

Also, this stack is sponsored by APolygons2 on YouTube. what does that mean? Nothing! the sucker just paid me to say the name, what a looser am I right or am I right?

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Animes in which I was patient and trusted the anime in the beginning, and it paid off.

Genius main characters that get your brain juices going with a great plop to envelop the great character(s).

Added with a bit of badassery.

This list will include the main characters of the anime who are awesome is every way or focusing on one tactic that makes MC chad in the anime

Strength, intelligence, wittiness etc. Even if it looks like that they are in a tight spot instantly they can make a comeback.

(I will not include the seasons of the same anime to keep it short and to ignore the repeats.I will keep the list up to date)

Feel free to suggest me more animes out of the list by messeging me(only the animes with awesome main characters are allowed).

Shounen anime featuring protagonists that are not nice or kind - characters that don't prioritize the traditional motivations of shounen protagonists such as empathy, kindness, justice, friendship, etc.

Some on this list were recommended by others.

They may be not enterly evil, but still their morality is a little bit different than that of average pearson
