favorite twists in media

For anime, there are some standouts in terms of twists, whether that be because of the nature of the reveal or the sheer weight behind it. My personal picks for some of the best twists in anime are:

-Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, and its sequel, Rebellion.

-Shinsekai Yori.

-Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, both R1 and R2.

-Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works.

-Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

In other pieces of media, I do not possess nearly as much as experience. My top picks for best twists in western literature are:

-Mistborn, the trilogy, by Brandon Sanderson.

-The Malazan Book of the Fallen, a 10 book saga by Steve Erikson.

-Life of Pi by Yann Martel

-The Kingkiller Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss

-Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold

For movies, my picks are quite popular and you most likely have watched most if not all of these. My top picks for best twists in western movies are:

-Se7en, directed by David Fincher

-Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock

-Primal Fear, directed by Gregory Hobbit

-The Sixth Sense, directed by M. Night Shaymalan
