Both feature two main characters, one doing evil deeds and one trying to stop the former.
Both have younger characters who obtain a surreal power that goes on to corrupt their minds and causes them to not value human life.

Dark atmosphere and realistic animation. Both shows have a character that wants to do good, and the other who gets some powers and decides to kill others. Action, lots of deaths, blood and interesting story.
Cat and mouse with some sort of non-human element to it (Inuyashiki has sci-fi meanwhile Death Note is more supernatural) and both of the main characters have opposing beliefs.

Both shows have a hero, and a villain who are the main characters. There is a long cat and mouse chase between these two, one with evil intentions and one with good intentions. Both series are really gripping, and make you want to watch 'till you drop.
A battle of wits between two unorthodox character tropes that somehow resemble each other. One young teenager with deadly powers, no mercy and delusions of grandeur against a quirky, out of shape-y but extremely wise opponent, put in a thriller set in a modern world with the addition of some kind of supernatural powers and trinkets.
similarities...
1- Similar MC
2- MC with intend to kill
3- Massive killings and murders gore and bloodshed
4- MCs are antagonist
5- Similar atmosphere and plot
6- similar story setting
7- MC tired of normal life and suddenly encounter a suppernatural phenomenon which changed their lives forever
Both animes are totally awesome you would love them there are very few animes of these type so you should try them out quite similar plot and story and similar anime atmosphere !!
Both are dark and tense. They have a similar artstyle and cliffhangers often. The biggest similarity is that the protagonist and the antagonist are engaged in a cat-and-mouse game where one is a psychopathic killer and the other fights crime and wants to stop the murderer.

Both shows follow similar paths focusing on 2 separate main characters representing both evil and good respectively. They both also deal with ideas such as the morality of killing/the killer

The themes of protagonist (or antagonist?) vs the Police Force give off similar vibes.

The evil protagonist is Light Yagami-like and is so good I recomended it
The antagonist is a young boy. The young boy perfects his powers to combat the society he lives in. Ultimately, the hero is the destined man who can stop the evil intentions of the boy. If you're into one on one/ hero vs. villain type shows in the current age, then this show is fitting.
Both characters wants to kill people and they kill people from distance.
In both animes there is a guy who wants to stop the villain who kills people.
in both inuyashiki and death note, the characters have similar supernatural powers. very similar concept, a good side that's trying to stop the bad guy, and a bad side that's causing more trouble. the bad guy in inuyashiki literally looks like light from death note. they're extremely similar but very different at the same time. i highly recommend inuyashiki if you liked death note!
-good and bad protagonist.
-the villain can easily kill and is able to wage war on all humanity.
-the felt chaos and that dark air.
-Inuyashiki's villain gives off a Yagami Light vibe (from Death Note).
as someone who loves Death Note, i am sure you'll like this too.

Similar because both people are in the same situation, one is bad and the other is good trying to stop it. Also has good supporting characters and dives into each character's psychological side.

Hiro is a dumber, more evil, but much more powerful version of Light.
