If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

Both shows feature a strong, powerful and ingenious main character (Light and Lelouch) who wish to change the world for the better, but eventually get drunk on their power and fail because of their own ambitiousness. Both are also set in a less realistic version of our world, in which the protagonist has some unusual power which allows them to control the actions of another human being. Murder, mystery, mendacity and manipulation are prevalent elements in both. Also, though the shows may be unrealistic, the characters are excellent; strong, believable, real and very relatable. Although Code Geass has more violence and action than Death Note, the similar dark themes, brilliant plot, and strong characters (who I grew very attached to, very quickly) kept me absolutely riveted to the screen while watching. If you like Death Note as much as I do, Code Geass ideally should be next on your plan-to-watch list.
