Main character is a genius who kills people, who thinks they deserve to die.
Secondary main character is another genius, who tries to expose them.
Basically: "I know that he knows that I know, but I lack evidence."
A cat and mouse game between the two leads where one is trying not to get caught while committing murders, and the other is trying to piece together what is happening. The lead investigator later shown to be suspicious of the other lead keeps investigating as to how and why they're committing the crimes.
Munou na Nana has a lighter tone, while Death Note is more serious.
Talentless Nana is a lot less of a battle of minds than Death Note, but it still features a lot of similar aspects. The relationship between Nana and Kyouya is a lot like the one between Light and L, and in general both shows rely upon their deceitful MC outwitting their enemies. Both have very similar thriller vibes, and tactics rely upon a blend between the unpredictable supernatural and the main characters' wits.
I will say Death Note's a significantly better show (especially early Death Note) but I've been pleasantly surprised by Talentless Nana this season.
These are completely similar in tone and theme, their dark, psychological, thriller anime with calculating serial killer mc's that have ice in their veins. Both of these mc's are ruthless pathological liars and the only thing that surpasses the cold blooded indifference they have for their victims is their razer sharp and dangerously unparalleled intelligence. Which they exploit every chance they get in order to keep everyone dancing to their tune right in the palm of their hands. All the while piling up body's with almost no one the wiser, there seems to really only be one character in each story that can even hope to comprehend and challenge the twisted genius of these two murderous masterminds.
Thanks for reading,

Death Note but the Notebook is replaced by abilities, L lacks basic deduction skills, Light is a girl who is bad at lying and killing while everyone else is mentally challenged and aren't skeptical in the least
Both of these shows feature a good psychological mystery between the supposed protagonists and the antagonists trying to catch each other in a trap to proof that they are good and the other one is evil, both shows doing so while giving the main character a leg up with some knowledge unknown to the other. They are cut from the same cloth.
Both anime is a battle of wits between two brilliant minds in the point of view of the "killer" of this story going against the "detective" to rat out this "killer." Who in the end is going to win? Who knows...
They both have the bitter rivalry between two genius characters.
Light and Nana are similar to each other; they both strive to wipe out the "bad guys".
L and Kyouya are similar to each other; they both try to expose these murderers.
Both have characters solving mysteries to defeat the main character, who is a very unlikable villain. The show has some really nice supporting characters and watching it blind is easily the best way to watch it. Also, Munou na Nana is better because it has a good ending.
Munou na Nana is a cat and mouse game about a killer and someone trying to find who it is. The main character is a normal high school student and the detective is a superhuman anti-social genius who is constantly on the tail of the killer. We watch as the killer has to kill fellow characters in creative ways as the detective soon finds the scent trail.
Talentless Nana is similar to Death Note, just a more cutesy style. Every new discovery leaves you on the edge and both the protag and antag (at the moment) have extreme analytical skills that allows them to worm their way through their situations and flip things in their favor also I would want to add some of the best aspects of it but It's better if you don't get spoiled too much. Just trust me on this one.
i don't know how to explain how these two shows are similar without going into heavy spoilers for munou na nana so i'll try to be as vague as possible ( as in i'm not gonna say names ) , anyways both series have a main character who wants to get rid of criminals in... their own way, both have another main character who is trying to expose them, both have some sort of fixation on details, objets and logical consistencies, plus both are thrillers and a edgy but fun watch
Both involves certain setting where it is in a school for very special kids and a certain killer that lurks among them and as every episode passes by one kid will die.
Similarities:
-Same thriller genre.
-Girl who does the killing.
-Lots of death flags.
Dissimilarities:
-Number of episode, one is limited to either 12 or less episodes, while the other one was a full 20 something episode.
-The killer in one anime already made herself known in the 1st ep, while the other one would take up to ep 15 to be known.
-Setting in one anime was in a locked bldg., while the other one is in some remote island.
Spoliers (?) but just if you hadn't watched chapter 1 or 2 so probably no spolier...
Plots with mystery and murder.
Alike to Danganronpa, Talentless Nana is a school anime in which the class is trying to find a culprit or a murderer.
Characters on both shows have a different talent and during the “catch the culprit“ time this is a helpful clue for the research.
Unlike to Danganronpa, on Talentless Nana the murderer is a known fact and that throws away the mystery of discovering who was the betrayer, this can make the show less interesting.
Danganronpa focuses on most of the supporting characters while Talentless Nana gives screen time to only some characters at a time but always centers the attention to the main character.
Danganronpa is about a survival game and it has game environment and Talentless Nana is about an organization that kills their students. read more
Both tells a story, similar to a game called Among Us, where there is a killer or murderer on the loose and everyone needs to figure out who it is before they die.
If you ask me I find both shows equally entertaining as it introduces dark psychological properties which presents many plot twists that is difficult to predict even for an average mystery/thriller watcher.
Both circled around some kind of game, a murder mystery. the only difference is that Danganronpa don't know who the killer is until the very end (from a victim perspective), while Munou Nana reveals the killer during the first episode (from the killer perspective. Plus, both have the setting at a school.
Both anime are about killing in school. The mystery solving in both anime are amazing in my opinion. The only downside is that Talentless Nana side characters are a bit dumb.
Both contain a school setting with characters that have superpowers. In both cases the main character either has no superpower or they start off with no superpower.
Talentless Nana is darker than My Hero Academia, and is more of a thriller opposed to an action anime
Both of them centre around a class of kids who are either superheroes or superheroes in training who have to fight evil.
Characters have special powers almost unique to them.
The main dude has green hair.
Similar feel.
-Both anime revolve around a group of people who attend a special high school and have unique "power" (BNHA=quirks, Talentless Nana=talents)
-Both main characters do not have these powers, although Deku does end up getting a quirk
-A difference between these anime are that Talentless Nana has an among-us like twist, where the mc infiltrates the school of "talented people" and slowly... kills them off without being caught
They both are similar as hell.
Both a school for enhancing their Quirk or talent
Both have a quirkless and talentless protagonist
Both have enough number of cute girls and bullying students
The protagonist was also bullied and made friends with the most cute girl
BUT, unlike BOKU NO HERO ACHEDMIA, here is a twist of story
I CAN CLEARLY SAY IT'S A VERY DARK SIDE OF BNHA
Only 4 till today i.e. 27 Oct 2020 I had watched but still it's suspens shuck me entirely
You should give it a try it's currently airing.
I am not going to add spoilers so just try it!
In both cases, they have supernatural powers.
All the students are in a school to defeat something (BNHA- Villains, Munou na nana - Enemies of Humanity.)
Its basically like danganronpa for bnha characters. Theres a traitor . They can choose to lie about their superpower. Its set in a boarding school in an island . Simple art . Colourful unique characters and not copy pasted like bnha. Give it a try
both of these anime revolves arond teenagers with superpowers in a school, ( they even both got a name for the powers, in my hero academia its 'quirks' and in munou na nana its 'talents') also Nanao is similiar to Deku in terms of personality and having no real superpower to themself, both series are a great watch but don't expect munou na nana to be as lighthearted as my hero academia
Set in a strange high school for the gifted, these two anime tell the story of a morally grey main character that some may perceive as a genius. The main character has to maneuver their challenging setting using their wits and the many manipulation tactics in their arsenal. While I found the morality and characterization to be shallow in both of these, I think that if you enjoyed one of them, the other one would be right up your alley.
- Both settings take place in a school and the scandals and dark secrets revolving around the school
- MC where they both have sides they hide from the rest of the classroom
- Both an easy watch as they are a 1-cour show (Classroom of the Elite / 12 Ep l Talentless Nana / 13 Ep)
I think one will really enjoy both series because the settings are relatively the same and the thrills it gives off are pretty darn exciting. This feeling of course might vary as I myself was sort of frustrated when watching Talentless Nana. Don't take my word for it though. Check it out for yourself! read more
Both stories focus on Elite Classes, the two high schools are far from the outside world and are prohibited from contacting it. In both series there are psychological analyzes of the characters, and we have analytical, logical, observant characters and manipulative and intelligent characters.
There are mysteries and other interesting and well planned things. Both works are similar in that sense. The main difference is that Munou na Nana has a supernatural setting and YouJitsu is a Slice of Life.
both have the same style, namely having characters that have iq ++ intelligence and have upper and lower class elements,
both of which have characters that take advantage of their side or friends
Munou na Nana and Classroom of the Elite have a very similar tension of students engaged in high stakes battle of minds. Also, in both shows, the most intelligent character is masquerading as something that they are not in order to stay undercover, and it takes time to understand their motivations and backgrounds.
A class apart overflowing with prodigies, the psychology has nothing to envy to Classoom of the élite, these two works deserve an equal treatment, a lot of thinking is required which left me in suspense every episode, their intentions are surprisingly similar but in the end completely opposite, our protagonists are wonderfully developed as well as the opening and ending which are beautiful.
Pretty similar concept, where talented Teens become a problem because of the power complex. The MC Nana, a talentless (without superpowers), is tasked with eliminating these enemies of humanity. First episode gives you pretty similar vibes.
They have a very similar plot. Of eliminating people, and pretending to be their friends. Personally, I find Talentless Nana to be the better of the 2 shows currently. It has a lot more style, and Nana clearly revels in what she does. Menou is all business no pleasure, no quippy remarks. And we don't have that neat inside view of Menou thoughts like we do with Nana. (Non-Objective wise, like her own opinions, not just the mission) So, you don't get as close attached to what she's doing by comparison. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this show, it's good.
Both had similar first episodes, the important points here are:
- The main character is a girl
- People who have power not by their own efforts are considered dangerous
- Girls friendship.
The basic difference is that Munou na Nana has a superpower theme while Shokei Shoujo No Virgin Road has an isekai theme.
Both anime shares the same trope, Decoy Protagonist, with the fake MC's ended up shares the same fate against the true MC's they befriended and trusted with.
The protagonist of both anime shares a very similar purpose.
Both protagonist meets an individual they cannot kill and acompanies them in the story.
Both anime shares a similar setting.
So if you have watched & liked one of these two then you will like the other.
The subversion of expectations but without the cost of ruining the worldbuilding and character introduction is a theme that runs in both of these shows, at least in the preliminary stage. What you get may not always parallel what you expect, and in the first few episodes alone both shows prove that they have much more in store, should you choose to continue watching.
Oh yeah, a cute show about kids, sike bitch! You will not see it coming. Both deal with monsters, but have different perceptions of what a monster is. It still has a similar vibe.
neverland focuses on kids being manipulated for their entire lives while being segregated on a small plot of land surrounded by an un-escapable wall. the female MC in Munou na nana similarly experiences the same thing in the anime - without any spoilers i will say that munou na nana, equivalently, includes some dark plot points; if you liked either anime, there is no reason that you won't like the other.
For me, both of them are among the best psychological anime that I have seen. I watched Neverland first, and from the intensity of excitement and enthusiasm, I finished it in just one day! As for the talented Nana, I watched the anime recently, and it won my admiration. I consider them very similar, as in both anime the heroes are kept in an unknown location and do not know how to get out of it with the presence of people who want to kill them As events pass, the story takes another course Really both are amazing
Both series are nerve-wracking and exciting stories that blow you away from the first episode. Oh yeah and they are both set in an abnormal school settings
Both shows are psychological anime that disguise themselves and try to trick the audience into thinking they're part of a different genre. With Gakkougurashi pretending to be a CGDCT slice of life, and Munou na Nana pretending to be a 'My Hero Academia' type superpower shonen, with both shows revealing their true subject matter by the end of the first episode.
Tired of dumb protagonists with million layers of plot armor save the world every time in anime? In Munou no Nana and Yuukoku no Moriarty we see the such anime from the perspective of the "bad guys" as the murder such characters. In both anime the killers are very intelligent and in both anime there is a smart detective that tries to catch the killer, so expect a lot of mind battles in both anime. Moriarty kills aristocrats, while Nana murders boring shounen protaganonists; the anime world is better of without those kind of characters anyway so I kinda enjoy seeing them die every episode (I dont condone killing irl btw).
The main difference is that Nana has a Japanese school setting while Moriarty has an English historical one. read more
Similarities:
- Same MC that has the talent for deduction and observation.
-Same MC whose talent were used to manipulate, deceive and to kill.
-Same MC whom were anti-heroes.
Dissimilarities:
-Setting, one is set in some remote island , while the other is set in the 1900's.
-Character, one is a true anti hero, while the other is an antagonist in sheep's clothing.
-Gender and age, MC in one anime is probably in his late twenties and a male, while t he other one is more like in her mid-teens and she's female.
-Plot, one is more like a crime and thriller drama, while the other one is more on suspense and mystery.  read more
Similarities :
- Both involve an impostor who try to kill a group of student
- The student have special abilities (there is no super power in Kanata no Astra but they have power like big brain or super athletic body...)
Dissimilarities :
- Kanata no Astra takes takes place in space
- The plot in Kanata no Astra isn't focused on the impostor, it's more about adventure and mysteries but you'll still have the same vibes
Both series talks about student/s assigned at killing people with superhuman abilities because their government wants them to. However, that/those student/s will eventually get attached to their target/s, resulting them to do the quite opposite.
What goes next is quite remarkble and a whole complete change to what they originality had introduced. So why don't you give it a try and see for yourself?
To start off, both of these shows are extremely similar because they both involve high school kids with powers being isolated somewhere far away from society. For both series, some of the kids have extravagant and dangerous powers while others do not, thus creating a tense atmosphere of distrust and drama among all the characters. There's also a shroud of mystery in both, while Talentless Nana focuses more on investigating each other as potential killers, Sonny Boy focuses more on the characters investigating their strange surroundings and the possibility of a "student with a certain power" causing a certain scenario.
Though Sonny boy isn't about a killer eliminating the class one by one it is about a school that went missing and the mystery of what is happening to them as they are sent across different worlds.
The two are very similar in that the storytelling is focused on one of the main characters across multiple episodes with chapters & parts. However, it is different if Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou will return to the beginning when the chapter ends while Munou na Nana continues to move forward.
I highly recommend this one, if you like one of them. You will also enjoy both.
-Both of the animes are about the main characters going into an island, isolated from man-kind and that the place is supposed to be "special" but soon find out everything they knew is a lie. In Deadman, people believe that the island is a fun carnival that everyone has to go at least once in their life. In Nana, the island is a school full of only talented children who has powers. They are all elite and that is why they are there. Soon, both of the characters find out that the place they really are in is a place where they throw anyone with special powers and are forced to kill each other to "save" mankind. People with powers are just "arrogant" and will rise up and kill everyone who doesn't have powers.
-Both of the anime is also very dark with a huge twist read more
While the 2 shows tell really different stories, they both treat the same theme of how to maintain a working society when some people (or everyone in Shinsekai Yoru) is a walking nuke and whether sacrifices are legitimate.
However, while both shows have a somewhat similar setting and themes, they go about telling their story from a different point of view with a really different tone and pacing, making them complementary shows more than similar ones.
Although Shinsekai Yori had a slightly darker undertone, two of which will seem comparable when put aside with one another. Essentially these two revolves around the idea of having a distant apocalyptic future caused by the inevitable development of superhuman powers by humans, especially with children, which resulted in uneven and chaotic societal treatment between ages (particularly between teenagers and adults).
One might find one better over the other, nonetheless, if you find one enjoyable then you might as well try the other as they have the same premise which establishes the entirety of the plot.
Both anime deal with an impostor infiltrating a group of exceptional, gifted people trying to save the world with the intention to kill them, with them trying to find out who's the impostor before it's too late. The main difference is that Rokka portrays the point of view of the group while the imposter remains hidden, while Munou na Nana has the imposter as the main character trying to murder the group.
For both of the anime, the goal is to weed out the imposter within their midst, and both of the shows premises makes them out to be stereotypical cliche overdone anime but one quickly realizes that its actually a slow-burn mystery
( SLIGHT SPOILERS )
- A school full of kids with powers
- In U.A. there is a traitor and in talentless nana, there will be a traitor as well.
- The main character doesn't have a power ( I know Midoriya get's a quirk but he was quirkless at first. )
The main characters are presented uniquely in both animes, having the MC as an intelligent mastermind accompanied by a brilliant detective. On the other hand, the only difference is the setting where "Talentless Nana" has a Japanese school setting while "Moriarty the Patriot" has an English historical type. These mystery series are by far one of the best mystery series I have ever watched; so, if you're looking just for something like that, then I recommend these to you!
the plot reminds me a lot of the attack on titan plot. there are two opposing sides, both believing the other is the enemy. i found many similarities between the two while watching.
Both animes have ruthless female MC that is being manipulated by mysterious mentor.
Male MCs experience identical development.
Face animation is somehow also similar.
Charlotte is an anime that have something to do with superpowers or talents and only certain people have this so called powers and Munou No Nana is similar to Charlotte because of this talents or powers BUT Munou No Nana is a little different
Both animes are about killing in a class, the difference is that in Akuma no Riddle, the whole class are assasins, but in Munou na Nana is the MC the only assasin.
-Both animes are about a group of characters who are destined to "save the world." They are given or born with powers that are all-mighty to be used to help save man-kind. However, soon as they go into the series, they find out that everything they are living for, their goals, their passion, it's all a lie. Both animes are intense with lots of plot-twist what you would not expect from their typical genre.
-Dark theme, lots of betrayal
Both shows involve war between normal people and espers, in both shows espers have to pay a price for their powers, and both shows include cool personality MC.
The main character is a pink colored hair girl that has some psycho attitude.
The rest of the story differs a lot, but if you're into psycho girls killing off other characters these are the animes to watch.
