both are survival games involving a group of 12 people who have cell phones possessing strange qualities that help the participant compete without giving them an actual supernatural power to fight. both have shocking twists and turns that leave you wondering who is on who's side, and an ending that is impossible to grasp. both manage to wrap up their stories in such a way that you are both surprised, satisfied, and left to wonder what will happen. both have unusual romances for the lead characters.

both are seinen with striking visuals and deep social metaphors. The characters in both are haunting and entirely human. I found it very easy to connect with their decisions and actions, and never felt the story was being pushed somewhere it shouldn't. both series end with somewhat startling epiphanies. If you don't find your self at least puzzling over the series as a whole and fitting pieces together from every episode, I'd be suprised. I've rewatched SE:L many many times and I always get something new out of it
