If you liked Death Note add

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

I would say that they are quite a few similarities between code geass and death note, some being that they both focus on the story of two young teenagers who have acquired a supernatural power that they use in order to change the world to fit their own ideals. Both protagonists feel as though the world is rotten and that the innocent suffer whilst those who commit bad things live without being punished. So after seeing the atrocities of the world both characters choose to use their powers in order to right the wrongs of the world, however this results in the deaths of innocents and the loss of humanity in both characters. However the difference between Light (main character of death note) and Lelouch (main character of code geass) is that Lelouch still manages to retain some of his humanity all due to the love and affection he has for his younger sister. However Light completely abandons his emotions and humanity in order to achieve his goal. Code geass does however have a lot of plot holes and rather than showing us Lelouch's brilliance it tell us whereas death note gives us a clear insight to Light's intelligence by giving the viewer a detailed look at how Light's mind works and how he manages to manipulate people with his plans. However Code geass had one of the greatest endings of all time, not only did it wrap up the story line perfectly it was also very satisfying since it cleared up a lot of things and gave the audience what they wanted. Death note also has a brilliant ending which was somewhat predictable due to the inevitability of it. Overall both shows are amazing and fairly similar but they both have their own unique plot line which makes them interesting and captivating to watch. I personally would say that code geass is an anime which shares a lot of the same aspects as death note which makes them similar but keep in mind they aren't the exact same, each have things that differentiate with one another which I think makes them even better.
