Anime Like Psycho-Pass if You’re Looking for Something Similar
The breakaway success from writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, Death Note takes viewers on a dark and twisted journey of righteous ambitions gone wrong. After discovering a magical notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written in it, Light Yagami decides to try and alter the world by killing any and all criminals, intent on becoming the king of this peaceful new world. Before long though, a special investigator named L emerges to bring him to justice, sparking a battle of wits that will span the planet and could potentially leave a frightening new society in its wake. From the cat and mouse exchanges between its two main characters to the outlandish plot twists that’ll leave your jaw on the floor, it’s hard to find a better example of anime fully embracing its strengths to produce a one of a kind experience.
