Metal Gear Solid meets Tom Clancy in this dark and stylish spy anime
For all the variety and thrills that exist in anime, it can be surprisingly difficult to find a straightforward spy thriller to watch that’s not either a twist on another genre (Spy × Family’s spy action riff on domestic comedies) or inherently supernatural (Darker Than Blue). There’s anime like Joker’s Game, Golgo 13, and Eden of the East, sure. But if you’re looking for a dystopian espionage thriller anime in the mold of Robert Ludlum’s Bourne series, or Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six by way of Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear series, you can’t go wrong with Shūkō Murase’s 2017 dystopian sci-fi thriller Genocidal Organ.
