Oshi no Ko stunned the anime world with its unexpected turns, complex characters and dark themes. If you want more of that thrilling and philosophical experience, keep reading! We’ve pulled together five equally suspenseful, dramatic, and character – rich anime to keep you guessing until the end. Dive into an unforgettable world of characters and stories in anime like Oshi No Ko.
Classroom Of The Elite
Classroom of the Elite is an entirely different kind of high school drama. It takes place in a highly competitive school where grades are ranked according to intelligence. Kiyotaka is the main character, he looks normal at first, but he is really quite strategic.
And as it is told, you realize just how brilliant Kiyotaka is and just how he is truly playing a much bigger game than anyone realizes. Like a puzzle that keeps you guessing. If you liked Oshi no Ko’s mind games and heavy drama, you’ll be interested in finding out what Kiyotaka is doing next.
Spy X Family
Spy x Family is like a rollercoaster ride! To get close to such a high profile figure a spy must pretend to be a dad. So he adopts a little girl with mind-reading abilities who desperately wants a fake wife. Who does he find? An assassin! You have got to believe it?
They’re this totally weird family trying to live a normal life and deal with secret agent stuff. I love hearing how they balance all the danger with everyday life. It’s like a comedy / action / family drama hybrid – which is very different from other shows with similar premise.
The Saga Of Tanya The Devil
Tanya the Evil, an ephebe-style action-thriller, follows a girl reincarnated as a baby in a magical world. Don’t let her cute looks deceive you! She excels at fighting and strategy, proving herself too badass. The military recruits her as a soldier, and she climbs through the ranks. It’s amazing how she’s balancing war and power and trying to survive.
Oshi no Ko and Tanya the Evil both deal with people reincarnating in a new body but with very different stories. They have very different adventures and different challenges.
Nana
It’s about two very different girls named Bella and Abby. One is a rocker chick living her music dreams in Tokyo and the other is a sweet girl who follows her boyfriend there. They become roommates and really good friends.
The show follows their ups and downs, their loves and heartbreaks. It’s very heartfelt and makes you question life, friendship and self-determination. It is like Oshi no Ko in that it’s about strong women making do in a rough world, but in a very different way.
Durarara
Durarara!! is like a wild puzzle set in Tokyo. A headless rider, a high school kid and a gang leader become tangled up in the wildest ways. It has plenty of suspense and surprises.
While both Durarara!! and Oshi no Ko are about young people trying to figure out life, they’re very different vibes. The former is an action-packed, mystery – driven wild ride, while the latter is more drama and relationships – driven. But both of them are damn good at keeping you hooked!
Conclusion
There you have it! These five anime are definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed Oshi no Ko’s drama, suspense and complex characters. From the mind-bending tactics of Classroom of the Elite to the warm friendships of Hana, there’s something there for every anime fan.
These are shows with original arcs and memorable characters that keep you hooked. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and enter these worlds!
