[Discussion] What are some anime with unpredictable twists? (ani.social)

I enjoy plot twists in my stories.

Unfortunately - maybe it's because I've consumed enough media - 99% of them are totally predictable. I would see the reveal coming a mile away.

So, are there any anime with an actually strong twist?

If I have to name one that truly impressed me, it is

major spoiler for an anime with title starting with the letter 'O'

Oddtaxi, with the reveal that the MC have an extreme form of visual agnosia.

That one caught me by complete surprise.

Are there are any more of such anime?

Thanks in advance.

Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate spoiler

IMO it's quite a standard time-travel story, and having watch / read enough of stories, there's nothing really unexpected.

Ave Mujica

I certainly didn't expect the reveal of Uika being related to Sakiko. But it's not on the same level as the example I gave IMO.

Sound Euphonium S3

Takopi's Original Sin

If there were any plot twists, I must have missed them. Or in other words, nothing about these anime surprised me.
