Top 7 Most Underrated Anime Like Death Note
Death Note is often regarded and viewed as the best anime to have ever been released, and
for good and valid reasons. The story and plot were unique and animation sophisticated, even compared to modern-day animation.
Death note is great, and unlike anime nowadays, its run was the perfect amount of time with enough story and character development to leave anyone satisfied after finishing. I only wish that modern anime could be half as good as Death Note.
Luckily, there are little anime out there that are similar to our beloved Death Note. these are the 7 anime I could salvage that have driven stories rooted in physiology as well as the adrenaline and character driven plots that many of us now-a-days find our selves longing for. With that out of the way, here are 5 anime-like Death Note.
