The rules and expectations of society, the darkness that resides inside of humans, the unpredictability of individuals, the corrupt nature of those that lead the masses-all of these are brought to the forefront of these anime and are intriguingly approached through intellectual plots. Psycho-Pass and Monster both ask and present difficult questions to their viewers and reward them through effortless storytelling and admirable characters. I also find that L and Inspector Lunge bear very strong resemblances to each other, they are both cold, emotionless and absolutely single minded when they are working.īoth of these came out at roughly the same time, albeit having distinctively different art styles, the colours and contrasts used are strikingly similar.ĭeath Note does contain some supernatural elements to it, where as Monster is set in our universe. These two are relatable because their motives disgusting but yet understandable. Johan kills because he wants to see the end. I've always seen Light as the villain of Death Note, he kills because of his ego, nothing more. Whereas in Death Note, a lot of the thoughts going through the characters are spoken on screen.īoth these anime also explore the backgrounds and characters of the villains as much as they do the heroes. However I feel like Monster did it in a more "show, don't tell" sort of way, which I preferred. These two anime are similar in the way that they both delve really deeply into the minds of psychopaths, Johan and Light, respectively.
