If you read Death Note and your favorite parts were the moments of psychological analysis, this is the series to turn to next. The development of the main characters in each of these series', despite going in different paths, branch from similar mindsets. The themes of nihilism are palpable and very heavy at times, making for a truly dark (and not just in the "dark" sense of many TV anime) and compelling breakdown of our main characters, similar to that of Light Yagami.

Same writer/director, same composer. Recommended for people who watched Bebop and loved the music, but perhaps wanted to see the music incorporated even more into the plot. You don't have to be a musician or even a music fan to like either of these series. The inclusion of jazz in the development of Watanabe's always wonderful characters makes for an extremely heartfelt and short series.
