I'm gonna take some leaps If you like the mind games parts of death note (since you seem to like the first part) I recommend trying Kaiji. My personal fav and one that got me changing my expectation of anime. If you like DBZ I assume it's the fighting. And even though the first assumption is people who like Anime probably will hate sports , sports anime are usually just tournaments for battling. If you want superpowers, I might recommend Kuruko No Basuke. I you want Mind Games, maybe One Outs. If you want something more modern, Haikyuu is a good shout. Classic sports anime would be Hajime no Ippo
A general shounen? Fate/Zero is pretty safe to try.
When it comes to recommendations, realistically there are lots of great anime movies to give yourself more context for what to watch
These are all just based on what you've mentioned but they're still a lot of spectrum for anime you could enjoy but haven't tried
Thanks. You are spot on with Death Note, let me add I like the supernatural elements too. From DBZ, I also like the characters, the worldbuilding and how the plot progresses. I'll keep in mind the recommendations, I haven't heard much about Kaiji before asking here. Movies : yes, I've watched and liked all those listed except for Kara no Kyoukai which I had no idea it existed. I just asked about series because I felt like engaging with long format storytelling.
The less you know about it going in the better. I'll say it's not supernatural and has a very strange artstyle but it's definitely worth the watch.
