add recIf you like detective shows with a twist, and liked Neuro, you'd surely like the far superior Ayatsuri Sakon. It's darker, more interesting, and generally more gruesome than Neuro - and that's a good thing! If you liked Neuro, don't miss Ayatsuri Sakon.
Nougami Neuro and Ayatsuri Sakon are two detective show. Putting aside the fact they follow a character inverstigating over a murder case both show often, if not alway, end up with the killer turning berserk, on it's own way, depending of the anime.
if you like supernatural detective series than neuro and ayatsuri should be able to suppress your appetite. the cases are always solved (with a few side consequences) and the characters always hang up their coats at the end of the day feeling as if they've accomplished what they needed to accomplish. also, the characters themselves are rather interesting. worth looking into.

add recBoth of these anime involve episodic mysteries, which the main character comes across inadvertently. Often these murders and motives are kind of arbitrary, and the set-up is unrealistic (sealed-room murders, etc.), but if you like to figure out mysteries alongside the protagonist, both of these will satisfy.
Both DAQ and MTNN are fun detective dramas, and whilst Academy Q follows a more comedic root, Neuro has a definite dark side. Playing along and trying to guess the murderer is what keeps these shows fun, so if you enjoy one, you're sure to appreciate the other.
Death Note
Have you ever felt like the world would be a better place if certain people weren’t around? Such grim daydreams might occur when watching the dismal daily news, but on one fateful day, Yagami Light finds that these daydreams can become reality. By pure happenstance, he comes across a black notebook entitled "Death Note", whose text within states that whoever's name is written on its pages will die. With the aid of the death god Ryuk, Light takes it upon himself to rid the world of its corruption, ushering in a new era of purity one death at a time. But as Ryuk foretells, Light's actions will not go unchallenged...

add recDeath Note's L, like Neuro, is a detective unlike anyone you've ever seen. They are both as eccentric as they can get. If you like brilliant minds that are a little out-of-the-ordinary, then watch Death Note.
If you like the mysteries of Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, you're going to love the back and forth battle between Light and L of Deathnote (or vice versa) as they both fight for what they believe is Justice.
Also, we cannot forget the Shinigami that appear, such as Ryuk. Both of these animes have 'hell' references, which seems to atract many people by it's own right.
Ghost Hunt
Mai Taniyama is a first year high school student who lives a carefree life telling ghost stories with her friends. One day, she meets Kazuya Shibuya, the head of Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR); and together, she tags along to help him investigate paranormal activities in a haunted school building.

add recBoth featuring a school girl unwittingly thrust into investigate supernatural mysteries, Ghost Hunt and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro are excellent examples of blending unusual genres seamlessly.
With both comedic and a more serious side, these shows promise a rollercoaster ride through emotions and involve plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. Ghost Hunt relies more on mythology and spirits for the entertainment, whereas MTNN will keep the bloodthirsty happy with lashings of gory action.
I think viewers with an open mind will enjoy both of these shows.
Both series involve detective agencies on supernatural cases. The main characters are females who are not afraid of the dark or what lies within in it. Co-workers become freinds along the way.
Hellsing
In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

add recMaybe the only one thing that links these series together is the main characters. Neuro and Alucard are both from Hell (in some way) and have connections with devils. Both of them have young, not very smart and quick-witted female assistants. And finally they have the same charisma, arisen from their nature.
