Hey MAL,

I've been having trouble keeping my focus on anime lately. I'm getting bored way too easy watching it and I have a feeling I've seen everything before. There are some exceptions (like Attack on Titan, which I really enjoy), but the last anime I've watched that really pulled me in was Steins;Gate. I love anime with big conspiracies like S;G and Death Note. Are there any similar ones I should check out?

Tl;dr I'm looking for something that isn't 'cliché' and that will pull me back into really enjoying anime again.

Thanks!

Check out Mirrai Nikki, One Outs, Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor

The last two are sports, but nonetheless awesome, a lot of crazy things going on, mind games and etc.

Hmm...I'm a bit weary of seconding Zetsuen no Tempest. It's not really "clever" in the way Death Note was, and I personally think it loses a lot of steam in its second half, but I guess at least give it a shot and see how you go. If you don't mind something thought-provoking but isn't necessarily fast-paced, maybe give Ergo Proxy a try. I also heard Monster was similar to Death Note in some ways, but I see it's on your hold list...maybe give it another try? Good luck, hope you get out of your anime rut soon!

What about Chaos;Head..?? I'm not sure whether this anime meets the criteria you asked.. though I'll still recommend it. :3

Probably Robotics Note, same "universe" as Steins;Gate. Conspiracies, some comedy and mechas.

Thanks for all the suggestions :). I think Mirai Nikki will be the one I'm going to check out first, seeing as I've already watched 2 episodes when it came out. Of course I've seen Code Geass and I loved it, but the second season was very disappointing to me and I couldn't even bother to finish it to be honest.
