Over the years, anime has tackled some pretty heavy subjects: death, war, complicated interpersonal relationships, the value of life.. and even though Japanese culture heavily stigmatizes it, some series even dare to talk about mental health.

In that spirit, let’s take a look at some of the most bizarre scenes from psychological anime!
Psychological anime are all about examining the mind, whether it’s the struggles of an individual or the collective unrest of an entire group.

So how did the genre tackle the hot topics of this decade? Let’s take a look together at the best psychological anime of the 2010s!
Anime with complex psychological themes are difficult to come by, but once you find one, you’re pretty much guaranteed a wild ride from start to finish.

Let’s get to know them better!
