19 Animes Like Death Note

Brutal murders, petty thefts, and senseless violence contaminate the human world. In contrast, the world of death gods is a boring, unchanging gambling den. The clever 17-year-old Japanese student Light Yagami and vicious deity of death Ryuk share one belief: their worlds are rotten.

For his own enjoyment, Ryuk slips his “Death Note” into the human realm. Light stumbles upon it, finding the first of its rules ridiculous: the human whose name is written in this note shall die. However, the temptation is too much, and Light tests by writing a felon’s name, which strangely enacts his first murder.

Aware of the dreadful godlike power that has fallen into his hands, Light—under the alias “Kira”—follows his vicious sense of justice with the ultimate objective of purifying the world of all evil-doers. The meticulous brilliant detective L is already on his trail, but as Light’s intelligence rivals L’s, the epic chase for Kira develops into a furious battle of wits that will only stop when one of them is dead.
