Collider has published a ranked list of the ten greatest anime thrillers of all time, compiled by writer Lucas Kloberdanz-Dyck. The ranking reflects the genre's growing prominence within anime, which the article argues excels at building suspense and tension by blending thriller storytelling with mystery elements, high-stakes drama and careful pacing. The selections are judged against criteria including writing, animation, themes, directing, popularity, fan reception and critical acclaim.

The list opens at number ten with "ID: Invaded" (2020), a sci-fi mystery about detectives entering criminals' minds, followed by "Odd Taxi" (2021) at number nine, praised for its slow-burn plotting and acclaimed twist ending, and "Gankutsuou" (2004-2005) at number eight, a stylised anime adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo" centred on revenge. The article notes several of its top picks originate from the 2000s, suggesting that decade as a high point for the genre, though the provided text is cut off before revealing entries seven through one.
