Interest Stacks

Anime with dark/serious plots but with a bright colorful palette for most of the anime. Clear blue sunny skies and saturated colors are to be expected.

NOTE THAT THIS IS BASED ON AESTHETICS ONLY. That means, this has nothing to do with "Not what it seems" as some of these are dark from the beginning despite keeping a constantly colorful palette like Phantom Requiem for the Phantom or Summertime Render.

Note on Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02
The plot gets considerably darker in season 2 yet it retains the appearance of season one, which isn't dark enough to make to this list.
