Lol at all the replies saying Code Geass. But really, it's hard to find an anime similar to Death Note besides Code Geass. I loved both Death Note and Code Geass, and after watching those two you'll be disappointed there aren't many others like them. :/

I'm almost done with Monster now, not that good at all, what a disappointment.

If you want to try something a bit less serious but still mentally involving, try Case Closed/Detective Conan. The episodes are for the most part self-contained, so you won't get MUCH ongoing story, but it's still there for those who like that sort of thing.

If you are looking extremely high levels of epic(not exactly due to story, mind you)
Higher levels of epic than Code Geass, watch TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN.
First the series, then the two movies.
You will be amazed.

If you like Monster (Monster kinda slows down a LOT...), from the same author is 20世紀少年 (20th Century Boys)... I thought this was crazy amazing. There is no anime version, but there's a series of three live-action movies, and to be honest, it is a must-watch.

I'm not an anime person, but my wife got me to watch this and I think it might have bested Death Note in my opinion.

Done some research on those titles and it indeed looks quite similar. But it also looks childish (just judging by the looks)
Is it not too immature?

Also added to the list. Looks like a fenomenal production, hopefully I enjoy it.

As Pharaoh said, if you prefer story over epicness, perhaps TTGL might not be your thing.
Though i used to be like that and ended up falling in love with the series anyway...
Anyways, for story based animes:
Darker than Black
Durarara
Baccano

If you like reading manga:
Bakuman
20th Century Boys (movies are based on the manga)

EDIT:
Also, visual novels:
Red Shift (Extremely short, but a good read nonetheless)
Tsukihime (English patch contains option to remove 18+ Scenes)
Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Horrible art, but the story and music more than make up for it)
I would also recommend Fate Stay Night, but that one seems to have unremovable 18+ scenes :/
