5 Anime Objectively Darker Than Death Note

I’ve always found animation to be a fantastic way to tell really compelling and dark stories. What I appreciate is that while these shows feel grounded in reality, the animated format lets creators explore what makes people tick in surprisingly complex ways.

They’re definitely worth checking out if you enjoy this kind of show.
