This direction depends on the viewer's own personality.ĭeath Note involves supernatural themes and focuses on the change of one's mindset when one gains power which far exceeds the scope of humanity. All the Mcs change their mindset as they experience more, and it changes both for better and for worse.

Highly recommended if you're a big DN fan or vice versa. ZnT is more fast paced though, well written story as same as DN. Not to mention, both are really amazing shows in every way. You don't miss their psychological warfare, too. Near and Five are similar position characters. Misa and Lisa are basically useless heroines, but they cherish each protagonist for some reason. They and the protagonist's mind game never disappointed you. They have strong faith for condemn many criminal people. L and Shibazaki are very similar detectives. However, Light has still good thoughts because he is thinking evil should be erased. They're doing the demoniac plan, and have an effect on Japan in various meaning. VON (Nine and Twelve) is equally the same as Light. It's definitely a have to watch! read moreīoth have antisocial protagonists who do change the world. The question is: will the plan of our two (new favorite) hell-raisers go as planned? Well, that won't be easy since their pursuers can actually keep up faster than our protagonists thought they can. Plus, Lisa Mishima clearly does step on the nerves of Nine (especially) and Twelve, due to her carelessness and vulnerability, which familiarize with those of Death Note's damsel-in-distress Misa Amane. Once hooked in a puzzle, there's no way of going back for those two geniuses.

AND THAT HAIR! Fans will argue that both characters' introduction coincides with a nosedive in quality in terms of the series themselves, but Five having little to no motivation, or depth, seems to bother people more than Near. In addition, Near in DN and Five in Terror are introduced as the two series progress both backed by the FBI. But, regardless, Terror follows DN in terms of the mind games involving more than just the initial characters. In DN each genius child had a false name starting with a different letter from the alphabet, rather than numbers to distinguish themselves. In Terror the leads even refer to themselves and other children from their orphanage by their numbers, rather than names. From there it becomes a game of cat & mouse, with the respective leads leaving clues for the police whilst also covering their tracks perfectly.Īlso, it in both series genius children are 'cultivated' at orphanages and - I assume - are ranked according to their intelligence. A police investigation is started in the wake of vigilante acts of terrorism / murder, with a task force formed, and an extremely intelligent detective appears to duel with with his new nemesis / nemeses in the public domain. But there are NUMEROUS far more concrete similarities, ranging from the tone / direction (subdued real-world grit) to the characters and plot that made me automatically link them in my head.ĭN and Terror are mind-game series where geniuses go head-to-head with one another. even though Terror is undermined by its two plot device female characters.

It's rare enough for an anime NOT to pander to otaku with sexual fetishes disguised as female characters.
