If you liked Death Note add

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

People who enjoyed Death Note should absolutely, without-a-doubt watch Code Geass and vice versa. They are similar both in plot, character development, tone, and even philosophical merit; and anyone who thoroughly enjoyed one should love the other. Both deal with protagonists who are essentially megalomaniacs, obtaining otherworldly powers from a supernatural being, which they then use to change the world to their liking. Both are considered to be highly intelligent and excellent liars, employing these tools to defeat enemies who believe their rules and goals to be immoral or against the status quo. Both characters employ aliases which become known worldwide, rarely revealing themselves even to their allies. A central and interesting theme in both of these shows is the struggle between an equal but opposite force which is manifested by a close friend/ally/rival. The bond between the two forces is perhaps the greatest factor that propels both plots forward, literally and emotionally. Both series, while being fast-paced to the point of addictiveness, deal with complex psychological and philosophical issues: specifically, should one person have the power (or use the power) to change the world for the better, especially at the expense of others lives and freedom. Since both of the characters of megalomaniacs, it complicates the morality questions even further and makes for very compelling plots and character development.
