Yeah, that was my issue with it too. Psycho-Pass will definitely shine over Mirai Nikki; more twisted and better characters.

For Death Note there's always Code Geass, lots of similarities between them, but instead of the darkish feel it has more light-hearted moments than DN.

For anime like Another, try:
Madoka Magica
Ergo Proxy

In that case, I'll throw in Mawaru Penguindrum. It will have many plot-twists to keep you guessing and guessing as the plot progresses. Not gory however, but is rather serious and 'dark' despite the some inclusions of comedy, but it's light.

It's not a thriller by any means, but Berserk is worth watching (or reading) if you want something that is dark and has a great story.
