The Pitch: Nao Kanzaki, an honest-to-a-fault girl, receives 100 million yen and a notice that she is in the "Liar Game." To win, she must swindle her opponent out of their 100 million within 30 days. She recruits a former con artist genius. Why it’s deep: Forget supernatural powers. The battles here are purely logical. The "Minority Rule" game and "Contraband" game are so cleverly written that you will need to pause reading to do the math in your head. It is the purest form of the "psychological battle" genre.

The Pitch: Tatsu, "The Immortal Dragon," was the most feared yakuza in Tokyo. Now, he is a stay-at-home husband who does chores with terrifying intensity. Why it’s deep: It’s the juxtaposition. Watching a man with a face scar and a perfectly ironed apron negotiate with a supermarket clerk for discount meat, or threaten a vacuum cleaner with death, is peak comedy. It’s short (15-minute episodes), sweet, and animated in a unique motion-comic style. Where to watch: Netflix You love the strategy
