Death Note addpermalink

These two animes have similar genres and plot gimmicks including mind tricks, undercover agents and unbelievable plot twists -- AND they both keep you well at the edge of your seat.

The animation between the two series have a similar feel to one another. Furthermore, both shows deal with conspiracies, secrets, and deception. Definitely a good watch!

Same Animation. Character. Feel/aura.
Suspense. Similar soundtrack. The only difference is that Switch is not supernatural and spans 2 episodes.

So similar! Hal, a main character is undercover in a drug bust, much like Light on the Kira case. Both were high profile cases, however there is a twist once there is an ultimatum, much like in Death Note towards the end. No supernatural powers but if you loved Death Note you'll love Switch too. I also recommend checking out "[ AMV] Kiss me Kill me - sWitch OVA" on youtube, it is a really cool video synopsis of the OVA, spoilers though!

Different story,but with the same mystery type thriller.
The characters are also have the same personalities expect two main characters are heroes, one of the person is evil.
Switch is short that you may enjoy this show.

Banana Fish addpermalink

Surprised this was not related to each other yet...

- drugs
- mafia
- guns
- a blonde male main character who is good at deceiving others
- in comparison his partner in crime - the other main lead - is naive and way more innocent
- a moment where a main person is shooting themselves in order to protect their partner
- a bromance-feeling but not actually a romance going on

both good edgy ova from 2008, that are action. Mnemosyne - Daughters of Mnemosyne is more popular but you should like the one if you like the other
