...then you might like Death Note add

Monster is very similiar with this anime in terms of it's atmosphere and the main idea that wanted to present to audiences. They both have depressing, dark and thrilling atmosphere and it keeps going that way until the end. They both critize the system of their own time. Death Note critizes justice in 21st century Japan, Monster critizes 20th century Germany, especially Nazi rulership times with the orphanage incidents in the anime. These were very powerful critiques. They both have very memorable characters, especially the antagonists. They both are very evil but have their own reasons, their own purposes for their actions and these are the characters that makes us to question our own understandings, our moralities. Lastly, both of them have top-notch and gripping plots. You never want to stop going. Well, Death Note has more complex and witty plot with more twists. Still, Monster is enough to satisfy. It is more stable but more realistic, still worth to watch.

Both of them heavily influenced on American culture and have the vintage/retro style. Especially choice of soundtracks are very similiar, jazz and blues mostly. They both have smooth/charismatic characters like in Quentin Tarantino movies with their witty and badass dialogues.
