This is the second story in my series of popular anime of our generation. Thanks for the amazing response. Now enough of my bragging and get down to today’s topic — Mystery.

Mystery is one of the popular genres of the anime community and even of that matter, it is one of the most genres in almost all media. And honestly, my favorite too. So gear up, I’m going to list all the amazing top 15 Mystery anime of all time.

Again, the list is compiled based on what I felt is truly a masterpiece and how popular it is among the anime community. I won’t go into great depth on every single anime that’s been discussed.

Also, a point to be noted here is that this list is in no particular order. All are equally amazing.

Okay, I’ll stop boring you with more of those clichéd and clickbait sentences.
