    I know how general this request is, but I really can't find any exciting anime anymore.
    I have been watching too much slice of life and romance. I need a good thriller that keeps me hooked and excited throughout the show. Something that makes you stressed and engrossed in the plot.

    Something not popular since I probably have watched it and give me multiple suggestions thank you since I would have probably watched 99% of all that is about to suggest.

    Plot-heavy thriller immediately makes me think of Monster. But I bet you've seen it already. If not, def go see it. After browsing through some anime lists, some of which I don't agree with, here are some more titles: Shiki, Another, Promised Neverland. It just seems unlikely you haven't seen any of those. They're kinda rare. Studios like going for cash-grab harem anime...

    Not much fans of suspense, but maybe Gankutsuou, Death Parade, Death Note & Darker than Black
