Show Hide

Near bearly pieced it all together. It was only thanks to Mello that he didn't die. I like that they killed off L. I mean he's one of my all time favourite characters, but Death Note would have just been another generic show had he beaten Light. Good wins, predictable, shows over, move on kinda thing. But Light, one of the most purely evil characters ever, was actually able to completely eradicate everything in his way and had very much begun to create his perfect world. That's what sets Death Note apart from the rest, the fact that the villain nearly always has the upper hand.

The first 140-ish episodes of Bleach (minus fillers) are great fun, but I wouldn't recommend it purely because after then it goes completely downhill and never recovers. What genres are you in to? I'm sure I could recommend a couple of series based on your tastes.

I find it interesting how the main character in Death Note, was also the Villain, it's not usually like that in most things Hmm, I suppose killing L, the main hero, did make the show different from most, I just thought he was a great character and would've loved a few more episodes with him, oh well.

I'm really not sure what genre, I really enjoyed Death Note, so anything similar to that. Anything dark really, thrillers, there was a series mentioned in this thread somewhere, which I looked up, it was about a guy who had something attached to his face? like a mask stuck to his head? that sounds interesting if you have any idea as to what I'm mentioning

That's probably Utawarerumono. It's an adventure/drama. Really, really, really good. Very character driven. Not everyones cup of tea, however. It's nothing like Death Note, so I can't really say whether you would like it or not.

If you want a dark thriller, go for Baccano. Or if you think you can handle it, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Probably the most controversial anime series ever. You'll either love it, or absolutely hate it. Personally I think it is one of the best series ever made. You might be better off watching the Rebuild of Evangelion films though.

Code Geass. Everyone loves it except Chris and its pretty similar to Death note (the main character atleast). A lot of psychological battles and thinking, but mixed with a lot of action. Fantastic ending and fantastic story. WATCH. IT.

However yes Baccano is also very good. Personally Code Geass is like my 3rd fav anime.
