plot-driven anime where battles are won by strategy

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (aside from part 1)

>>350716
but /a/ said jojo is full of asspulling

>>350715
Yu gi oh.

>>350724
top kek

t. watched all seasons of yugioh

>>350719
Yes it is but it still has less asspulls than Death Note
Also don't trust anything /a/ says

>>350715
alderamin on the sky is pretty much what you're looking for

>>350715
Mobile Suit Gundam (79)

>>350719
The early parts are but the amount of asspulls decreases as the series goes on

mirai nikki

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Semi-circles in space are a strategy, right?

>>350785
>110 episodes
uh

>>350795
and not a single one is worth it, it's a meme anime

>>350745
Part 4 has the most asspulls tho

>>350715
Kaiji
Hunter x hunter

>>350843
Part 3 has much more asspulls than part 4

People don't give it enough credit but Naruto, to the end of the chunin exam arc. For the most part, characters fight with their wits, like actual ninja, and it's not just powerlevel bullshit

>>351036
agreed. but it becomes friendship & asspulls : the anime after the exams

Log Horizon

>>351073
Just like any shonen

>>350715

it's time to p-p-p-p-p-pull.

yugi winning a battle with more than infinite attack points

i hear there is a great go anime that seems to be what youre after op

Only real answer in the entire thread.

Hunter x Hunter if you want a shounen/action series. It's the gold standard, can't recommend it enough.

>>350715
Psycho-Pass has good stuff when it comes to strategy.

Btooom! the manga is longer and a little better. It's about a pro gamer neet who gets unwillingly shipped out to play a real life version of the game he usually plays. It does have a fat ugly bastard moment but what anime doesn't?

It gets less and less asspull-y as time goes on, but even when they're there, it's entertaining as fuck (see part 2 ending).

>>350715
If action isn't quite your thing then Log Horizon could be more up your alley.

Code Geass. Watching Lelouch outwit his opponents in increasingly amazing, dramatic, and stupid ways is half the fun of it. Sometimes I couldn't help but think "holy shit Lelouch" while watching some of the later episodes, and there's a few moments that are nice to reflect upon in hindsight once you've seen the whole thing.
