No one would argue that Death Note is an absolute anime phenomenon. Come on, it aired more than 15 years ago, and people still keep talking about it almost every day.
On top of that, this is still the number one anime to recommend to newbies when they’re just starting to delve into the anime world.
And if you’re also a Death Note fan, just like us, here are some anime that you may want to try out.
The word “death” in the name of the series is not the only thing that these two anime have in common. They were also animated by the same studio, and Death Parade even has a peculiar Easter Egg connected to Death Note. But we won’t spoil you anything.
Death Parade takes place at a mysterious bar, where people are taken to play peculiar games. They don't remember how they got there and what happened to them, but they have no choice but to play the said games.
Monster
If you’re done with the classic that Death Note is, you might want to try another one, which is Monster.
Two people, one is on the side of the law and the other is a vicious murderer. Both are somehow connected and want to become the victor of their opposition. Doesn’t it remind you of something?
This is a story of a doctor that saves the life of a little boy just for the said boy to grow up and turn into an absolute monster. By the way, the villain of the series might even compete with Light’s popularity.
Dororo does not have a brilliant student murderer or an incredibly intelligent detective. Nor does it have mind games and cat-and-mouse chases, and yet the vibes of the series are quite similar. Just like Death Note, Dororo will make you think about the nature of things and about what’s right and wrong in the world.
Hyakkimaru was born without various body parts due to the deal his father had made with the demons. However, he survives and is full of anger and desire to get his revenge and take back what was stolen from him.
The premise of this anime is also very different from Death Note, yet these series do feel alike in a lot of ways. They both question morals and justice as well as provide a lot of food for thought.
Parasitic aliens have descended upon Earth. One of these parasites is trying to infiltrate Shinichi’s body but fails. And now he’s limited to controlling only the boy’s right hand. Shinichi, on the other hand, is forced to coexist with a parasite in his body.
It has an eccentric protagonist with questionable morals, it has mind games and a detective aspect, there’s a lot of mystery and deduction. Basically, everything you want if you’re a Death Note fan.
A group of friends is forced to participate in a game. Meanwhile, they’re told that one of them is a traitor who has stolen a significant amount of money. Now their friendship is going to be tested, and secrets are meant to be revealed.
