20. Death Note
IMDb Score: 9.0
If you're one of the many anime fans that's currently wondering why Attack On Titan is so popular (other than the fact that it's brilliant, of course), it's probably due in part to the fact that its creator is also responsible for Death Note.
As dark and as bleak as Attack On Titan, the series deals with a battle of wits between Light Yagami and L. The former has possession of the titular book that has the power to kill and the latter is his opposite, determined to find out who its owner is.
