Secret agents, conspiracies, and giant robots: for fans of the Metal Gear series' signature elements, these shows have all the espionage one needs.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 in stores, complex tales of espionage are hot again, and anime certainly is not lacking in that department. The adventures of Snake are often outlandish enough to be anime in itself, so it is not surprising that there are plenty of shows with the same aesthetic, be it science-fiction technology, dizzying gunplay, or intricate conspiracies.
8 Lycoris Recoil Hideo Kojima famously tweeted praise for this anime. In ways, seeing two agents of Japan's secret police banter about underwear does capture that signature Metal Gear oddness. Lycoris is definitely one of the more lighthearted takes on the genre, perhaps too much so for a fictional Japan that secretly murders criminals for public safety. Regardless, Chisato and Takina are memorable protagonists, both for their gunplay and their growing relationship.
5 Psycho-Pass Fans of Metal Gear Solid 2 and its mind-bending meditations on information control and social harmony should enjoy Psycho-Pass's dystopic Japan, where people are judged by their potential criminality via an advanced computer known as the Sybil System. Viewers will find similar aesthetics in both, with stainless steel and advanced electronics a common sight.
