Anime after Death Note?

[Jsamano]

Well with Death Note over and behind us all I'll need a new replacement anime. Hopefully somthing similar in terms of suspence. Death Note definetly was the bright points of some depressing weeks I've had these past months. I would say to myself, "at least Death Note is comming out tomorrow." Anything else able to give off that effect on any of you? Please share.

I got a perfect anime in mind for u "Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch" thats the 1 ,thats in my opinion, its the closest . there both master minds at what thay do, thay both have powers and thay started as normal school students . theirs only 2 things that are different : in this anime the main character is on the good side...hes not realy the good guy type tho... and thay fight with mechs sumtimes :P

I second Code Geass, especially if you're wanting longevity from your anime. It's a great series, it's getting a second season, and the creators like to stretch single seasons out pretty far (You'll get it once you get to episode 23 and start looking for 24. ).

You mentioned that Death Note helped brighten gloomy weeks, and I think that Geass does that even better. The atmosphere in the anime is just less... depressing. +The main character has a kick ass evil laugh, which will brighten your day no matter what.

Give Paranoia Agent a try. It is a lot weirder though. You could also give MPD Psycho a try. It is not an anime though, only a manga. There is a 6 episode mini series that I have not seen. MPD Psycho has art very similar to Obata's. But be warned, it is very gruesome and not for the faint of heart.

Seconded. Trying to figure out the mind of a sane person isn't that complicated compared to predicting the actions of a psychopathic serial killer, that's why Amamiya/Nishizono is above L and Light in my books. Besides that, Nishizono can dish out pain and death personally without resorting to notebooks.

I also recommend Code Geass, although I have to disagree with Silverwolf. The main character isn't the good guy, you have to decide whether he is good or not on your own.

in my original post > "hes not realy the good guy type tho" ... cough cough

sacrificing the few to save the many might not b the good guy type but its morally correct.

[UPR]

might want to give Ghost Hunt a try

[Furuno]

How about Darker than Black? I guess it's worth trying.

I too suffer death note depression. Yes, no longer having something to look forward to is one, the series was an absolute masterpiece and i have no idea if any anime will be able to top it. However:

Spoiler for Death Note:

the main source of this itching melancholy is for the only character i've held so much respect for, whom failed and died miserably. My soul was crushed(quite literally crushed, i was very depressed) when i watched Light run away pathetically to his death. And to let Near outsmart him? How disappointing. Light should have won.

if u are a deep guy/gal, try monster, the plot is way deeper than death note, and could be thrilling if u understand the plot.

if not, the animes suggested above are good fits, gundam 00 (second season is coming very soon ) is also very good and has quite a bit of suspences to it.

What? Genshiken isn't even close to Death Note in any way.

I'll recommend Code Geass as well.

[Hari Michiru]

As everyone has said before: Code Geass. And maybe Neon Genesis Evangelion just because it's mind screw too (in a sadist way though).

In terms of mind screw:
Code Geass > Death Note though.

[SNT]

I also recommend Code Geass , even if it has already been mentioned numerous times, btw u can't speak about good and evil when u speak about Lulu, its all about his desires, some may benefit the world, some are for his own purposes... so "evil&good are just 2 faces of the same card", as Charles says in the anime...I would also recommend u Higurashi, I also liked DN very much and I'm sure u'll enjoy this one as well.

this is a great program

though i really dont think theres anything of deathnotes genre that can match the first 14 or so eps

[Mystic Wind]

I would also suggest Monster if you have yet to see that, it's pretty good kind of slow in the beginning though.

[tetsuo]

You might also wanna try out Pumkin Sissciors, just cause its pretty good, and it does keep an air of mystery about.

[lubczyk]

Well, if you want mind-warping anime than you could try:

- Serial Experiment Lain
- Texhnolyze
- Speed Grapher
- When They Cry 1 and 2 (Higurashi)

Those are the found I can only think off the top of my head.

[lovelightx]

at the risk of sounding totally ignorant, could anyone give fill me in on the Code Geass Britannia VS 11 situation, dont really understand?
