It is a harem school drama that comes with a melancholic tone. Makoto Itou has noticed a girl from freshman year named Kotonoha. He immediately fell in love with her beauty and try to approach her but never got that encouragement.

 

Instead of confessing his love for Kotonoha he clicked the photo of her and set it as his mobile phone wallpaper. Soon after, Sekai discovered their love interest Makoto and tried to set him up with his love.

 

The story appears to be very sweet and comes with flat characters. The design also appears to be good but when it comes to the psychological flavour then it has something of a different vibe.

48. Bleach (2004)

 

 

Bleach was released on 5 October 2004 under the genre of action and adventure. But with action and adventure, it has also carried the theme of fantasy which fits well with amazing characters that give the vibe of any Halloween theme.

49. Paranoia Agent (2004)

 

 

It sounds very strange if any prop or thing appears as a threat to the world but when it comes to Paranoia Agent then it is the main story. The main character Shounen Bat is terrorizing the whole city as he is making victims by beating people with his golden baseball bat.

 

The first victim of Shounen is a character designer, followed by Maromi. As he is trying to spread terrorism, detectives like Maniwa and Ikari come into the story and start their investigation.

 

The character and props shine the most in the anime with an ordinary grip. They wear their personality in a very dramatic way which means it is more of a Halloween adaptation.

 

 

50. Angels of Death (2018)

 

 

As the name suggests, Angels of Death is sure to have the theme of angels and devils in one anime. It is related to the character Rachel Gardener who is stuck in the basement of a building that appears to be nothing less than a puzzle.

 

Without knowing why she is there, she meets with a murderer named Zack with whom Rachel tries to leave the building by going to each floor. As the anime progresses, these two characters meet with some twisted people who share some kind of connection with Rachel.

 

This suspense and the designs of the characters were appreciated with the dark theme. And that’s the reason why the horror and psychological flavor make it more suitable for any Halloween theme.
