I find it similar to Death Note as both series' got me, personally, hooked on anime. Death Note was my first anime, and it's the reason I started loving it. After a while, I drifted away from anime, and nothing really made me want to watch it again. So I decided to go out of my comfort zone and watch an anime that i'd never really heard of; and I'm so glad that I did. Ajin has really made me love anime in the way I used to again. Give it a go!

both are absolutely thrilling rides with a heavy plot and clever excitement. there's cat-and-mouse stuff going on here (L and light/kei's group and sato).
the pace of *ajin* isn't nearly as fast-paced as *death note.* both are very psychological and similar in vibe.
both shinigamis and IBM/black ghosts have the same concept.
*ajin* has a lot more action
strong police forces are involved, which serves as a heavy antagonist.
both protagonists are anti-heroes.
morals of what is good or bad.
both show how different the protagonists can be when we see the reasons for acting in such a way.

Both animes have a serious tone and deal with death, in ajin it is about immortality, you have a group of people who are immortal who fight against the law enforcement . The protagonist slowly learns about the extents of his powers as the anime progresses and fights against several antagonists including people that have the same power as him. In the end it is also a battle of wits.
For people who want to enjoy an anime that takes itself seriously, has little to none romance or eichi - i.e. an anime that does not seem "weird" I would recommend this show, because it is
