Anime is not only known for grotesque characters, insane world designs, and lovely music but also insane storylines. In this Top 10 Surprising Plot Twists In Anime post, we’ll talk about the most intriguing (and shocking) turns in the history of the genre. True, romantic stories and regular tales about day-to-day lives are also quite interesting, but nothing beats a breath-taking twist that just gets the fans going.

Recently, a survey was held among young men and women that love anime, and they were asked to name their top 10 surprising plot twists in anime. The following list is based on their votes, not our own preferences. A quick note before we get to it: in order to keep things short and to focus on the winners, we decided to skip through the 10-4.

That gives us an opportunity to talk more about the top-3 right after we’re done with the less fortunate titles. As always, make sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section and let us know whether your favorites made it into the list or not. There are some surprising entries there, that’s for sure. Alright, now it’s time to check the top-10 out!

#10 – Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

#9 – Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi

#8 – Umineko no Naku Koro Ni

#7 – Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

#6 – When They Cry

#5 – Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

#4 – Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Code Geass is quite popular not only in Japan, but also in Europe and America, and it sure does know how to surprise the fans with unexpected twists. Danganronpa is gripping and thrilling as well. However, none of them managed to make it into the top-3. So, the question still remains: which titles are the winners today? Things are only about to get more heated in our top 10 surprising plot twists in anime post, so, don’t go anywhere!

#3 – Your Name

Even if you’re not a fan of anime, you might’ve still heard about this incredible movie. Shinkai Makoto created a true masterpiece and conquered the hearts and minds of millions of viewers around the globe. It’s been two years since its release back in 2016, but Your Name is still topping all kinds of international lists.

This love story is equally heart-warming and heart-wrenching, which is perfect for our list. It doesn’t really matter who you are or where you come from: Your Name will definitely touch you.

#2 – Attack On Titan

AOT is another huge franchise from Japan. It didn’t need much time to take over the crowd and to break some records. The team working on Attack On Titan knows exactly how to appeal to a mass audience and how to create insane turns.  We don’t want to spoil anything for you, but the identities of certain Titans are simply mind-blowing.

And, judging by the trailers and some leaks, the brand-new season is going to be even better. AOT definitely deserves the highest spot on the Top 10 Surprising Plot Twists In Anime list; yet, it’s the 2nd-best today.

#1 – Neon Genesis Evangelion

All hail the king! Evangelion is not new to winning awards and topping charts. Just like Attack On Titan, this series squeezed to the top with the very first episode. Today, it’s one of the biggest franchises in anime and is getting bigger with each new season. The tense, adrenaline-rushing romantic tales, the mind-blowing battles, and the mysterious/enigmatic twists took it to the pedestal. So, there you have it – the gold medal winner!
