5 91 Days

Japanese Title	91 Deizu
Studio	Shuka
Where to Stream	Crunchyroll

91 Days is one of the most unique revenge anime stories with a beautiful art style and great character development, not to mention a great choice for anime fans who love revenge mafia stories. Its story is set during the United States Prohibition era which also gives the show a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Shin Sekai Yori

Episodes: 25, Studio: A-1 Pictures, English Title: From the New World

Try to introduce a person who lived 1000 years ago to today’s reality. Most likely that poor guy will feel foreign and confused (and old). If you wake up in the world of Shin Sekai Yori whose plot takes place 1000 years from today, (not from today, but roughly from today), it will probably take you about a minute to acclimatize, a minute that will be wasted on awkward moments of silence because there are no common topics of conversation.

Still, it’s not a bad place to live: Japan is a utopia. The residents of the area live in a place full of joy and happiness. And they all have telekinetic powers. Twelve-year-old Saki Watanabe developed the powers in question. Together with her classmates, they experience fascinating lessons, go on adventures and… die, yeah most of the time they die and take revenge.

Shin Sekai Yori is not a series for children, I should emphasize that here and now. It has a lot of politics, brutality, revenge, and heroes falling behind at a rate that would make George R.R. Martin drool. You might hear from some people that Shin Sekai Yori is probably one of the greatest anime series ever made. It’s not, the plot potential is not 100% realized.

1. Атака Титана

Завершая эту статью окончательным списком, то есть Атакой Титанов. Хотя «Атака Титанов» совершенно не основана на теме мести, в ней есть изрядная доля сюжетных моментов, что делает его изящным аниме о мести. Проще говоря, движущая сила главных героев сериала часто смещается в параллельную сторону, которая в основном связана с местью, например, клятва Эрена уничтожить Марли.

Действие сериала происходит в постапокалиптическое время, когда человечество было вынуждено жить за рядом защитных стен, чтобы защитить себя от безмозглых гуманоидных хищников, называемых Титанами. Сериал исключительно затрагивает политические и психологические темы. Большая часть начала сериала посвящена навязчивой потребности отомстить, но по мере развития сериала это становится все более запутанным.
