Suspense Anime
Suspense anime is less about what happens and more about how long they can make you sweat before it happens. *Death Note* basically set the standard for two guys writing in notebooks somehow being the tensest thing you've ever watched. When it's done right, even a character picking up a phone can feel like a boss fight.
Common Misconception
Thriller just means edgy violence and shock value.
Underrated Pick
Kaiji -- gambling, despair, and some of the most stressful coin flips you'll ever experience.
