I enjoy plot twists in my stories.

Unfortunately - maybe it’s because I’ve consumed enough media - 99% of them are totally predictable. I would see the reveal coming a mile away.

So, are there any anime with an actually strong twist?

If I have to name one that truly impressed me, it is

major spoiler for an anime with title starting with the letter 'O'

Oddtaxi, with the reveal that the MC have an extreme form of visual agnosia.

That one caught me by complete surprise.

Are there are any more of such anime?

Thanks in advance.

    One that doesn’t is Madoku Magica. It’s a normal magical girl anime. JUST KIDDING SOMEONE TOLD ME THE PLOT TWIST AND SAID IT WAS REVEALED IN THE SECOND EPISODE AND IT WASN’T TILL THE END AND I WAS PISSED OFF FOREVER.

      IT WAS REVEALED IN THE SECOND EPISODE

      I’ll admit I haven’t consumed a lot of Magical Girls stories, but

      isn’t fallen/former-magical-girls-turn-antagonist quite a common trope in these stories?

      I’d say the later twists are stronger.

      If it makes you feel better, they made a movie that expands upon the original story (preceded by two movies summarizing it). Another one will come in like a week, finally, after being delayed for ten years.
