5 Anime with Shocking Stories, You Won’t Know Until Watch Each Episode

Not every anime is as it seems-in fact, some shows are very different from the audience's expectations and almost seem to be trying to deceive the audience.

Here are some anime that have surprising stories.

You won't know it if you don't actually watch every episode.

1. Goblin Slayer

Goblin Slayer looks like a fun adventure series in a Dungeons and Dragons type setting.

There is no reason to expect it might be different, but in the first episode, there is an assault scene involving a group of goblins attacking a woman.

Facts have proved that this scene has caused great controversy in the animation industry.

Some people think it shows exactly how vicious the goblins are and how reasonable the protagonist wants to get rid of them, while others think this scene has little value other than shock.

Regardless of whether you think this scene is successful or not, you might not have thought of it when you lined up for the first episode.

2. Promise Neverland

The first episode of The Promised Neverland will make you believe that this is a story about a lovely orphan being raised by a loving and kind caregiver named Isabella.

But the episode ends with a dark and shocking revelation: Grace Field House is actually a human farm, slaughtering children and selling them as demon meat.

Isabella looks more cunning and evil than she looks.

The rest of the series is an exciting race against time as Emma, Ray and Norman try to escape before the others become victims.

3. Clannad

Clannad tells the story of a 3rd grade high school student named Tomoya Okazaki who is considered a delinquent by those around him just because Tomoya often skips school.

For Tomoya, his life was quite boring. Until finally, one day, he met someone who lacked confidence because he had to repeat classes due to illness, Nagisa Furukawa.

From this moment on, Tomoya's life began to undergo a drastic change.

Tomoya begins to see a strange dream (Illusionary World) where in that world there is only a girl who is always alone.

Then the girl started trying to make a doll out of the garbage and scrap that she had collected.

4. Assassination Classroom

The moon has been crushed into a crescent shape by a super creature in the form of an octopus, then after that the earth is the target.

But he offered to postpone the demolition to March next year provided he was given the opportunity to teach as homeroom teacher for Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Middle School.

The students of the class were assigned by the government to kill the creature, which they named "Korosensei" with the promise of a bounty of 10 billion yen.

However, this task proves to be utterly impossible, with his Mach 20 speed and various superhuman powers, Korosensei always manages to escape assassination plots by his students.

Then what made it even more complicated was that Korosensei was the best teacher class 3-E had ever had!

5. Yu-GI-Oh GX
