main cast
In the year 1937 on the eve of World War II, Lieutenant Colonel Yuuki of the Imperial Japanese Army forms the D Agency, an army intelligence outfit under his command and tutelage. Army General Staff attaches Lieutenant Sakuma to observe the unit's performance. D Agency casts a wide net to find agents beyond Japanese military personnel, and Yuuki establishes D Agency's tenets, which go against IJA doctrine: "Don't kill, don't get killed, don't get captured". With this, Yuuki trains a team of operatives who conduct missions against domestic and foreign powers.

reasons
Both shows deal with a small, clandestine organization of elite spies set up by the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s, with pre-WWII events in curse. Both are also essentially episodic, with an overarching plot of small to no relevance and small arcs with their own unrelated plots. All in all, they're basically twin shows. They do have a few main differences, though: Joker Game's plots (overarching and arc alike) are more organized than SnNR's ever were, its espionage is more believable than SnNR's, it has no superpowers at play, and it takes place all over the world while SnNR is Shanghai-centric.

There are not many anime series about spies, and Joker Game is a good one. I only wish it would be a bit longer.

Intellectual thriller about spies, pretty original. No real story just a collection of events involving spies. Good time killer worthy of its rating, recommended :D

I enjoyed this series a lot as it's an intellectual spy thriller just before WW2. For me it didn't feel like there was a main character but an ensemble cast which worked well and each episode was different from the other which focused on many mysterious that the viewer would need to connect the dots or wait until the end of the episode to get the answer of "who did it". If you enjoy slow but intellectual thrillers, then you'll have a very enjoyable time watching this series.

Very natural conspiracy/detective/action. Each episode is a small story, distinct in place and time. But it gives you a whole picture of conspiracy war that took place before/during WW2. Even while it's bound to history events it's still a fiction about group of people.
