I wonder why? It's truly a mystery
William Ortiz
Because nips are too dumb for mystery. Fucking mongoloids can only understand something as simple as haremshit.

>Why are there so few mystery anime?
Lurk more.
John Hughes
he's not wrong. for every detective anime there's 1000 more harem shit
though most anime with detective stuff are crap where you can figure out who the culprit is in 10 minutes
Nolan Adams
Because things get sacrificed in an adaptation, and mystery stories usually rely heavily on an abundance of details to hide clues in and introduce them naturally. So mysteries either become a clusterfuck or painfully obvious.
Noah Hall
Japan can't into mystery anime so that's good. 99% of them are just shock value goreshit.

Will someone please think of the burado children?
Joshua Bennett
I watched the shitty anime version of this, they never explained it. Why did they want to kill the blade children so bad? Fuck.
Parker Young
manga answers everything. The blade children are basically clones of kiyotaka
Luke Ortiz
Because 90% of anime are absolute shit at storytelling and dictate to you what you're supposed to feel. There isn't enough subtlety to have a plot that makes sense
Landon Powell
I honestly don't feel this way. I love anime.
Christian Wood
I love anime too but not for the plot
Lucas Reyes
Maybe you're just watching the wrong things?
Christian Diaz
The next plot heavy thing you watch pay attention to how much is directly dictated to the viewer.
Cooper Gomez
Was that the anime all along..?
An anime that exists in the plane of thought and can only be consumed by the ones that produce it in their minds? Satoshi Kon was truly ahead of his time, I see that now. So that's why he died, he found the endless anime.
Nolan Martin
All mystery animu are pretty generic and absurd, but some are entertaining. Ayatsuri Sakon, Kindaichi, and Tantei Gakuen Q for murder of the episode garbage, and Mouryou no Hako, Neuro, and Shion no Ou for a slightly different take on things. Of course, there are others.
David Robinson
well, judging by the image you posted, you probably think this thread is a mystery anime
Jace Watson
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate a bit?
That's not what I think. Rude.
Jordan Clark
Does anyone knows an anime like hyouka? I like the subtle mystery and SOL
Jose Ortiz
get some taste
Joseph Long
Why is it not 91% or 87%, my friend?
Xavier Walker
I fell asleep like 3 times trying to watch Boogiepop. Not to say it’s not good, but the fact remains.
Cameron Anderson
Every good mystery plot has already been written 100x.
Andrew Morgan
i will never understand why people come to anime looking for something deep or profound. anime hardly rakes in cash so most of the time they cater to base interests. creators can't attempt something bold and risk career suicide.
when i look at threads like VEG, KnK or yorimoi with swathes of anons claiming it's amazing to the point it changed their lives, i feel any worthwhile discussion that could be had disappear, and i immediately bail

you can't win
David Adams
That's why it seems like such an easy thing to make. Yet they all fail.
un-go was a solid 3/10
All you need is take an already established mystery (adapt something) and make it visually pleasing. Simple as pi.
Joseph Barnes

More like unko, amirite?
Austin Campbell
Those hats.
Henry Morgan
Mystery is one of the hardest genres to write well and it's not that popular anymore as well.
Daniel Thompson
LOCKED ROOM MURDER!
Daniel Bailey
The last one I watched one was Hyouka.
Simple and delightful
Nolan Wright
the only mystery in hyouka is why oreki's such a faggot that he can manage to pass out just thinking about tits
Joseph Thompson
It is a genuine mystery why there are no Animu adaptation of Higashino, Murazaki, Yokoyama or Koji Suzuki's works
Luis Ramirez
But he have to spend energy to think about tits.
His nigh-efficient body used to a consistent expenditure of energy cannot compensate in the short run.
Coupled that with the fact that he eats just enough to maintain consistent mass illustrate his minmaxing build, also known in Bodybuilding circles as the Skeleman.
Robert Howard
For me, mystery anime should stay mystical. It's not important whether it's "deep" or meaningful. The feeling of being lost and wondering about everything you see is awesome. It's like you are young again and curious about the whole world again.
The term "Thomasson" in Flip Flappers recently explained this kind of feel pretty well. When an object exists for no purpose, you stop caring about its usage for your living and start to pay attention to the object itself.
There are not too many differences between a comfy sol show and a pretentious mystery one in my opinion. But these kind of shows are always easy for shitposters to bait. If people treat it as CGDCT in which there's no meaning too, there will be nothing hard to understand.
Caleb Rogers
there's actually alot
do more digging
Jeremiah Brown
The only good part of UNGO is the ED and the lewd robot loli. I think it's interesting how it explicitly bases its mystery plots around existing RL cases, but the execution is just bad.
Ryder Jackson
Anime can't into subtlety most of the time, VN/manga is better for it.
Brody Nelson
No idea.
Brayden Ramirez
This. I'm looking for something slice of life-y like hyouka as well.
Eli Flores
Well a very big reason that there are high expectations for meaningful character development, intriguing stories, deep plots and themes in anime is because a lot of westerns grew up watching seemingly shallow cartoons that had a limit to what they could portray. Upon first viewing an anime like Akira or Attack on Titan after coming from a background of Disney movies the idea was generated that anime is so much "more" than Western cartoons. Because of these experiences we expect more from every anime that comes out and when we do t get it we are disappointed. Then the cycle repeats itself until the fan accepts anime for what it is - toy and manga commercials for children and light novel/manga/model commercials for adults - or they move on to other interests because anime simply isn't for them anymore.
They can also bitterly post about the state of anime in message boards as well.
Bentley Morgan
Parasyte was THE BEST psychological thriller/mystery/horror type anime adaptation of probably the last decade. If you disagree, I'd appreciate you giving me a suggestion of them that is any better.
Nathan Powell
I suppose you are refering to detective mysteries.
subete, sakurako, kubikiri are good mysteries that came out in the recent years
also Katrielle Layton is coming out next season
youtu.be
There aren't many mysteries because they are difficult to write. Basically this
Mason Rogers
I've just started Hyouka and I kind of like the structure to some of these mysteries.
It's harder for me to get into the wordplay, but the animations and detailed representations are done pretty well.
Aiden Wood
Kubikiri is shinhonkaku mystery and we need more such mysteries to be made into anime. Mysteries are stupid and dead genre in this modern world.
Nathaniel Moore
It's only dead in the west though.
Nathan Hughes
Look at how bloated japanese mystery literature is. All those sol mystery character novels that somehow are worst than hyouka. Even straight honkaku mysteries are just dumb these days. Shinhonkaku mysteries are the only interesting stuff in japanese mystery scene since they basically just make fun of mysterious
Angel Howard
What do you mean by dumb?
I mean, there are a lot of people reading it, so it's popular at least.
Shinhonkaku is just a meme. The genre tries to be autistic about rules for the sake of reviving the classic mysteries, when people back then didn't give a shit about rules.
Ryder Thomas
Well, innovation in honkaku mystery genre definitely has halted and most of these books don't even have strong well plotted mysteries. I still don't even understand the popularity of someone like higashino keigo. Sol mystery character novels have stopped caring about doing anything interesting with mysteries. They repurposed the use of mystery as a vehicle to explore other ideas but man, those are boring as fuck. They don't even come with meta mystery commentary like hyouka. So i guess shinhonkaku is perfect response for such stale movement in mystery scene
Blake Turner
Regarding innovation, it's really hard to innovate something which is already explored to such an extend. Most writer essentially use the same magic trick with different settings.
Higashino Keigo is popular because, in my opinion, he is the one actually trying to broaden the genre. For example in "Malice" the focus was put on the whydunnit, which is something that not many writers thought about, at least not to such an extend.
In "Salvation", he lays out the foundation and the logic of a "perfect murder".
His books are much closer to the Conan/Agatha mysteries than any of those Shinhonkakus imo.
