What is a good anime like steins gate and death note?

Question

What I like about both those shows is how intellectual it is, with so many unexpected plot twists it will make your head spin, you really need to think to follow along. Is there anything like that out there in english dub?

Sharingan · Answer

watch code geass, and yeah it has a english dub. lot of plot twists and a great soundtrack. dont let the mecha turn you off, the story is much deeper than big robots fighting as you will see!!!

dont bother with Ao no Exorcist, K, or sword art online. all of them are below-average and should never be compared to masterpieces like death note/steins gate!!!!

Ao no Exorcist:
It's about the two sons of satan trying to kill their own father (satan), and taking revenge for the death of an exorcist who raised them.
Beelzebub:
It's about a highschool delinquent who found and was chosen to raise the demon king's baby.
Persona 4:
It's about a highschool student who had his "persona" awaken. He uses his persona to stop the deaths in the whole country.
Yumeiro Patissiere:
Finally an innocent anime series. lol
It's about a clumsy girl who wanted to be a professional patissiere. She met some handsome guys and her love along the way.
(Delicious show)
Sword Art Online:
It's about a teenager who got stuck on a video game. In that video game, no one could escape, unless you beat the whole game. The problem is, if you die in the game, you will also die in real life.
