Anime guy says :
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
It's about mysterious murders happenning in some village
Each chapter presents a different version of the same time period...
At least watch the first 4 episodes (the first chapter)
They just ended the second season (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
Kai)
and they're releasing a live-action movie soon o_o
Also,
The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi is pretty awesome
Samurai Champloo is a must-watch...
But the closest to Death Note would be Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
