Death Note ( IMO) has to be hands down the best Anime of all time. Just think about it, Death Note had almost Non existing action and it gets me the chills each time I watch an episode. That how you know the plot is sub-perfect.

That being said, is there any anime/manga that is as suspenseful as Death Note? I need a Death Note 2.0.

I've heard a lot of comparisons between Light and Lelouch, so maybe Code Geass?

Ya I know, I'm barely in the 3rd episode. But it's not Death note level.


Ya me too. I'm going to watch Geass later this week.

I've watched Code Geass before, its really good, but I haven't watched Death Note yet(though I plan too).

The first few episodes of Zankyou no Terror gives those kinda vibes, really interesting. There won't be another Death Note though.

I can see why people would think Code Geass is kind of similar to DN, but they're not even really all that alike, I think CG is better however so you could check that out too.

Cool, even more of a reason to watch Code Geass. xD

Kool, I will check it out then. Is it ongoing & why only the first few Episodes? Did the Quality drop later on the series??

Better the DN? I will see about that. ( that exciting to hear tho)

I personally enjoyed CG more because of the characters. The only characters I cared about in Death Note were L and Light, so once L was gone the rest was just not as good (but it was still good).

But ZnT is only 12 episodes so it's a little rushed, and I don't want to spoil but a certain character kind of threw things off for me. It was still a great watch though I recommend it.

lol trust me, nothing comes close to it.(This is coming from number one death note fan)

Though, there's this one manga that is very similar to DN, main character is the same as light and the plot is pretty much similar. I'd highly suggest this if you're desperately looking for something similar, though and in my opinion this is just a cheap version of DN.

I made a thread about the similarities if you;re intersted.

Thanks, I I'm going to read it.

Also, I'm curious on why you said that its a cheap version of it?

Eh I meant that the story wasn't as great as DN despite the concept being similar

Isn't really anything like Death Note. But I think you'd like Monster and Code Geass if you haven't already seen them.

Code Geass was alright for a Death Note rip off.

^Death Note was released after Code Geass...

A real ripoff would be Lost+Brain. I mean it's so obvious you'll think it's Death Note itself.

You'd probably enjoy Code Geass if you liked Death Note. I prefer Code Geass, but Death Note was pretty good.

the anime maybe but im certain the manga was finished before there was a Code Geass. :)
