Here are a few of my favourite anime series. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already.

Death Note
Probably the best story in terms of strategy and endless mind games. The sheer complexity of the plot is nothing short of perfect, and the characters are very entertaining. The whole concept is very original.

In the season 2 episode, The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, the main point of conflict early in the story is that the Apple family keeps running out of cider before everypony can be served. This happens to Rainbow Dash, where she doesn't get any cider because the daily supply was depleted. Basically, the demand was higher than the supply. There were more ponies who wanted to buy the cider than there was cider available.
