Hello,
I recently finished death note and the first half was amazing. I really enjoyed this style of not know his plans or what he might be trying to do.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for good shows that have cool plots that are unpredictable, plot twists, etc.

I am relatively new to anime so there is a good amount I haven't seen. Thanks,!

For a change I'll suggest you a movie: Perfect Blue.
Two epic plot twists in like 30 minutes.

Madoka Magica (12 episodes. Psychological thriller disguised as a Magical girl anime. watch at least 3 episodes).

Kaiji: Ultimate survivor (26 episodes. Psychological thriller about gambling. Focuses on strategies; art takes a bit to get used to).

Higurashi (50 episodes. Horror-thriller with great atmosphere. Art and animation are shit).

steins gate (rly rly good sci fi story with awesome cast of characters)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGkKEnxzMxY (opening)

madoka (dont get fooled by the picture, this anime isnt rly happy xD) (you can watch the series + movie 3 or movie 1,2,3)
http://vimeo.com/71682210 (move opening)
http://vimeo.com/96766626 (3rd movie opening)

katanagatari (dialogue driven action adventure, but every characters is very well done and the story is very interessting)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs4VBfpIaes (1st opening)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm-r3y3sMgc

fate zero (tag team battle with 7 magicians who get powerfull servants like king arthus and fight to the death, but the streanght is, its not a fight between good and evil, its a fight between idology since every characters has his own reasons to fight and goals)

My favorite quotes from animes:

Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people
who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass
We are humans. - Shinsekai yori
100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man

You should definitely try Paranoia Agent, if you do enjoy the show, I suggest you to proceed watching the rest of Satoshi Kon's works :D
