This anime is for fans who are looking for justification as a genre similar to that of Death Note. The series has a total of only 12 episodes.

After death, humans are sent to either heaven or hell. But some, at the moment of their death, they arrive at the Quindecim, a bar attended by the mysterious white-haired Decim and his assistant the black-haired woman. Decim intimidates the recently deceased people to play a Death Game, wherein they gamble their lives and reveal their true self. Decim himself is a referee of who loses and who wins, who goes to the void, and who is reincarnated back into the human world.

PSYCHO PASS

This anime series is of genre: Action, Police, Psychological and Sci-Fi.

The series takes place in an antiutopian 22nd-century Japan where it is possible to instantaneously measure and quantify a person’s predisposition towards criminality using a mystic scanner to dole punishment out to criminals. There is a balanced focus on morality, suspense, and mystery.

Psycho Pass keeps its audience consistently alert and interested, with plot twists and shifts that are unpredictable and wholeheartedly intriguing. The art is bold and catches the eye’s attention. Very highly recommended.

CODE GEASS

Code Geass

This is one of the best anime ever when it comes to mind games with an 8.6/10 IMDb rating. Along with plenty of suspense and plot twists that make you want to keep moving through the episodes (similar to that in Death Note).

The story is about a guy, Lelouch Lamperouge who gets the mysterious power to command others but it has some limitations too, and he must overcome them. He becomes the masked leader of the rebellion against an all-powerful empire with the purpose of rebuilding a new world for his sister.

ONE OUTS

Nothing like One outs when it comes to mind games that are cleverly drafted with regards to strategies and wit. The story of this guy, Toa Tokuchi who makes a deal with a Baseball league team owner, that for each out he pitches, he gets 5,000,000 yen, and for each run, he gives up, he loses 50,000,000 yen.

Tokuchi being a gambler and not a professional player but who plays with great talent and strategies gets a chance to play professional baseball. There are moments when you think Tou will lose but the way he gets out of the situation makes the anime worth watching. The only con is that the series has only one season.

MONSTER

Monster has been praised by critics as being an intelligent anime that features excellent plot weaving along with a sophisticated storyline. Truly psychological and can mess up your head.One of the most manipulative villains to have ever been in an anime.

In both the animes there is a battle of wits between two persons. It is quite different from Death Note as it is not related to supernatural elements. The anime does take a few episodes to really kick-off, so be sure to give it the time it deserves before deciding it’s not the anime like Death Note for you.
