If you liked Death Note, the following anime are also recommended:

  • Code Geass (tactical warfare and intelligent use of a supernatural power; be warned of some plot contrivances)

  • One Outs (if Light Yagami was a baseball pitcher)

  • The Promised Neverland (season one is a battle of wits just like Death Note, although the manga it is adapted from is better)

  • Talentless Nana (despite the OP advertising it, the cat and mouse game between Nana and Kyoya is not the series' best point; it is watching Nana puzzle out what the Talented's supernatural powers are, their weaknesses and finding a clever way to kill them. Also, the first episode disguises the series' true nature, so watch the first two episodes to find out if it is for you. Be warned that the finale is utter garbage.)

  • No Game No Life (some of the plots were ridiculous, but some were really impressive; I should also warn you of heavy fanservice)

  • Kaiji (gambling)

  • Akagi (mah-jong)

  • Moriarty The Patriot (I have heard this is a battle of wits but have never watched it, will do so soon)

  • Hyouka (a mystery show with a completely different tone from Death Note but good mysteries)

I'll link you to here, here, here, here and here.

By the way, although it is not an anime, I would highly recommend you read the Liar Game manga. Read it scanlated online, for it is not available for purchase in English.

Which are you watching now and what are your thoughts?

Sorry for late reply, I have downloaded some hyouka episodes, will watch them later when I have downloaded most of them :)

And thank you again for the suggestions, I have not watched animes since 2018

I would say Hyouka is probably the anime least like Death Note on that list (with the exception of Moriarty the Patriot, which I cannot speak of since I did not watch it). The animes on that list most similar to Death Note are One Outs, The Promised Neverland and Talentless Nana, in my view. But the most similar thing to Death Note is Liar Game, and it's better than Death Note's manga.

Why did you stop watching anime in or after 2018?

I cannot vouch for the Liar Game live action because I did not watch it and there is no anime of it. As I said, I highly recommend reading the manga.

Have you watched any more and if so what are your thoughts? Are you an autistic weeb yet?

[–]Airbus320 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

Finished talentless nana like one month ago. Got no time for being a weeb yet :)

What were your thoughts?

I'd recommend you next watch One Outs, The Promised Neverland or Kaiji. If you're willing to read manga, Liar Game is absolutely phenomenal, to the point where I'd recommend reading it later to save the best for last. I should also note that the most recommended anime for those who liked Moriarty The Patriot is Death Note, although I myself cannot vouch for the similarity since I haven't watched it.

Seriously interested in your thoughts on Talentless Nana. I'm not bothered to type out my full thoughts, but I think episode one is a drab then it gets really good until the show turns to focus on Nana's tRaGiC AnD EmOtIoNaL BaCkStOrY ThAt's tOtalLy oRiGiNaL and her starting to care about Michiru instead of a battle of wits against whoever she's trying to kill and Kyoya, then it becomes quite bad.

If you want the anime most like Death Note next, I'd recommend watching One Outs or Kaiji next. One Outs is available on Twist and on YouTube (without the opening song) and Kaiji is available on Crunchyroll and Twist (separated into season one and two).

Recently finished one outs, it was good. Will watch kaiji. Thanks for the suggestions
