What anime would be most improved by a "Truman Show" plot twist at the very end? (self.anime)

ie: the main character finds out that everybody else is an actor and everything aside from their own actions are staged. My personal vote is that it would be pretty funny for Death Note to end like that

None. It's not a good plot twist. Even the Truman Show didn't use it as a plot twist, but as a premise. If the story was engaging without the twist, then it's a gut punch to suddenly pull the rug and say "gotcha! The plot was meaningless!" If the story wasn't engaging, then you didn't get far enough to see the twist.

That's true; I don't mean that Death Note or any other show would literally become a better show with such a plot twist unless it was a show I didn't like in the first place. I guess rather than "improve" I meant "would be kinda funny/interesting to think about". I didn't mean to imply that it was used as a plot twist in the Truman Show.
