Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch

Both shows left a significant landmark on anime culture and are both acclaimed with huge fanbases but Code Geass it’s less popular than Death Note and should be seen, especially for the main character, Lelouch. Light Yagami is often compared to him. Both Lelouch and Light have legitimate savior complexes, with their initial aim being to make the world a better place, but their personalities and motivations are shown to be very different, so, after watching everything and despite their similarities, I am convinced that Lelouch is on another level. He is smart, ambitious, badass. He defeats enemies not by willing himself strong like a typical battle shounen protagonist, but by concocting absolutely insane schemes and plots and managing to get away with them. It’s highly entertaining to watch him cause he creates brilliant strategies that can take down forces superior to his own. While Death Note is a duet between Light and L, and their interplay made it what it is, Code Geass has Lelouch who fights against any other characters with his intelligence.

"Oshi no Ko"

Both anime criticizes and have realistic approaches to the idol Industry. Perfect blue is a movie and it's older but, perhaps better than Oshi no ko, puts a rather exciting and harsh criticism of the idol culture that will make viewers worried about their favorite celebrities. By the way, I also recommend watching Oshi no ko, for its graphics, characters, and the wonderful music.
