General

If you like the mystery/murder element of Death Note, check out any anime of a game made by Atlus, except if you are looking for action don't watch Persona 4 Golden because it is mostly comedy so far.

Persona 4 The Animation, Danganronpa (mystery of who kills who), Devil Survivor 2 (some action and almost like pokemon but with demons)

@ox0Shad0w0xo: Yea. Ergo Proxy is like that. Can't say a single thing without spoiling it haha

[quote=Kazzooey]Oh well I haven't watched it but it sounded pretty similar.[/quote]

It's okay, monster is a hard anime to describe without giving away major plot points, so I can understand the basic description sounding similar.

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]Well the plot of monster doesn't quite fit his criteria because the roles are switched in a way. Still a great thriller anime, but not the same kind of main character as death note and code geass.[/quote]

Oh well I haven't watched it but it sounded pretty similar.

[quote=Kazzooey]The only animes I've watched and heard about that are like that:

Death Note
Code Geass
Monster
Zankyou no Terror(Still airing, VERY good!)

You've already seen Death Note so yea. I haven't watched Code Geass but I hear its very similar. Monster I haven't watched yet either but the main person is like Light as he's MEGA smart and very twisted and gets what he wants while the police or whomever hunt him down. Zankyou no Terror is still airing and is only on Ep 3 but so far it's freakin incredible! Art, animation, characters, realism, and... oh god... THE MUSIC! Anyways it's about two teenage boys who are, like Light, mental prodigies and for some odd reason use their combined genius to be Terrorists (probably for a good cause though) while a sort of exiled cop(basically the L of this show as he's very smart and is the only one to see past their riddles) plays cat and mouse to catch them.[/quote]

@PatuSan
I do agree that Code Geass's character design is pretty meh since they all look like they have severe anorexia.
But when I see any form of media, story is what matters to me the most. Art and design are 2nd.

naruto kinda like death note

@PatuSan
Hmm. Would you kindly tell me why you didn't like it?

Also, the artstyle really does suck lol.
- OT
Psycho Pass, Monster, and Zankyou no Terror are pretty good.

Some similar psychological anime: Ergo Proxy, and Kaiji. If you look past Kaiji's bizarre artstyle, you might definitely like it.

[quote=hyperfire7]Totally agree with the 1st poster. If you liked Death Note, there's a 99% chance you'll like Code Geass too.

Like Death Note, Code Geass stars a protagonist that is bestowed with a supernatural power, which he couples with his exceptionally smart wits to carry out his cunning plans to change the world.
Only difference is that Code Geass is faster paced and also comes with a generous helping of political intrigue, plot twists, and mechs.

I liked Death Note a lot, but Code Geass easily tops it on my list. It's my all-time favorite anime and I've watched well over 150 titles.[/quote]

I didn't like Code Geass.

The art styles suuckkk.

Agreed with @above

Psycho Pass fits your criteria perfectly.

Psycho-Pass fits pretty well, once the plot kicks in.

And if you're cool with manga, 20th Century Boys and MPD Psycho.

You could read Akumetsu, it's like a proto-Death Note. Focuses on correcting economic corruption in Japan by killing politicians in various, escalating ways.

Thanks guys, I will watch all your recommendations

Code Geass is similar to Death Note, but surpasses it in just about every way. It's easily my favorite anime.

Code Geass art style is </3 which makes me sad because I've never watched a full episode but I just can't with spaghetti arms and legs

Your description matches Zankyou no Terror, however there are only 3 episodes currently out and will be a 11 episode anime

As A fact, in the sake of certainity, im watching death note at this very moment, right now.

watch Naoki Urasawa's Monster, it's better than Death Note and Code Geass and Sword Art Online

Definetely Code Geass. Its a great anime and i heavily reccomend it.
