Monster and Death Note are unique in many ways. In both cases the issue of morality in its truest form, that is the frontier between good and evil, is explored via highly tense psychological thrillers. Monster is highly realistic and portrays a very believable world while Death Note has a supernatural element to it; in both the viewer is forced to think and make choices toward deciding who the real villains are and just what it is that makes one individual evil.
Both are psychological thriller and suspense. The only difference is that Death Note is more supernatural while Monster is more dramatic. If you like Monster, then surely you'll like Death Note, vice-versa.

Its almost Basically the Same mystery/horror Good Guy vs Bad Guy type of Story except that The 2 Main Characters of the Show Kill for different reasons
Both have plots that don't focus on action, instead they focus on the minds and personalities of the characters and how they interact with eachother. Both also have that kind of battle of 2 characters through non-direct attacks.
A couple of good guys come together to hunt down a psychotic mass murderer. A macabre game of 'cat and mouse' ensues, leaving the viewer at the edge of his seat. The story in both cases goes at a very complex depth, and so do the characters.
In Monster, the story is much more complex, and focuses more on character development. Monster grapples with issues of morality and is a bit more philosophical.
Both have amazing characters, good animation and a FANTASTIC STORY! they are both about a serial killer but they are a little different from each other:). U will get addicted immediately! These are one of the best ever made.

Both anime are psychological thrillers dealing with never ending battle/chase between good and evil. Both plots are full of twists and cliffhangers although the pacing of the two series are quite different. Death Note has a faster pacing with more focus on the main few characters while Monster introduces many side characters in depth through different arcs.
Both shows deal with similar topics: equality of human life, good vs. evil, the right of a killer to live, etc. Whereas Death Note is more concentrated on the cerebral task of investigation, Monster's focus is on morality and redemption. Both of them are top-notch, but I find Monster to be better overall.
Intellectual game between two brilliant characters that makes you wait to see the next episode.
Death Note is a anime about crime, however it the character are top noch and the story-line keeps you at the edge of your seat. You sometimes end up trying to guess who will lose their life next and how it all will end however, i can say you will be hooked on this anime till the ultimate end. I highly recommend this anime to anyone and everyone.

Both are psychological, detective dramas. The difference being that Monster is a seinen and Death Note is a shonen hence Monster has none of the annoying characters and general bull that goes on in Death Note.
Both are psychological thrillers. While in Death Note there is heavily influenced by the supernatural, Monster is more realistic, and could even happen in real life. If you liked one, you should watch the other. There's a nice chance that you'll like it.

Monster and Death Note both are psychological thrillers. Both are full of mysteries, although Death Note is more involved with the police system, and solving crime, while Monster is a mystery which the main character is trying to solve basically on his own.

Death Note and Monster both share the common theme of Justice. They both look quite deeply into human nature, and they are also both quite dark.
Whilst the main characters in Monster and Death Note are almost polar opposites, the idea of a 'battle of the minds' is in both series'.
It's really hard creating a long running thriller series in the medium of animation, mainly because animation doesn't have any real, live-action actors to evoke some kind of terror in front of a camera. Both Death Note and Monster have presented exhilarating concepts that feels totally unprecedented in the thriller genre.

Like Death Note, Monster is a crime based, psychological thriller with thought-provoking themes and a realistic atmosphere. If you're looking for a charismatic villain similar to Light Yagami, Monster has that covered too. Its main villain is both charming and frightening, and he doesn't become an arrogant prick as Light does as the series progresses. While it's much longer than Death Note, don't be discouraged. It keeps focus on its central themes the entire time and paces its story in a skillful manner.

both brilliant and engaging psychological thrillers that are mainly driven by the dialouge. both seem sort of upbeat at some points but have underlying dark tones of murder, isolation, and insanity, accompanied by the whole detective/police thing that drove so many people to watch death note. monster and death note show that in mentally taxing situations the human psyche will do whatever it can to save itself.
Both are mystery thriller anime which focus on a game of cat and mouse between the main protagonists. They both deal with similar themes and raise several philosophical questions about morality. In both anime, the protagonists have to make hard moral choices. Also, they both have genius detectives chasing serial killers.

These two anime are similar in the way that they both delve really deeply into the minds of psychopaths, Johan and Light, respectively. However I feel like Monster did it in a more "show, don't tell" sort of way, which I preferred. Whereas in Death Note, a lot of the thoughts going through the characters are spoken on screen.
Both these anime also explore the backgrounds and characters of the villains as much as they do the heroes. I've always seen Light as the villain of Death Note, he kills because of his ego, nothing more. Johan kills because he wants to see the end.

They both deal with mortality and justification of an evil power for good.
I see the two works as something of a sibling relationship.
Monster representing the serious, slow-burning, down to earth older brotherly figure, and the other, while not necessarily eclipsed by the former's shadow, the stylish loudmouth, the flamboyant yet self aware younger sibling.
Both works definitely exploring grounds of similar nature, yet never really in the same way. Where one celebrates its flirting with its themes and undertones of power, the other arrives after the party, picture cops with flashlights at night, slowly investigating the beginning, the middle, and the aftermath of what occured.
Just like L needs to seek out Kira, Dr Tenma must seek out the monster. They are both psychological thrillers and created to make you think .

Both series are intense psychological thrillers that manage to create an excellent dark atmosphere, and if you liked one, you will probably like the other. They are similar, but at the same time very different. They both focus on different aspects of their genre, but nail just about everything they do. I would say Death Note is more of a thriller and Monster is more psychological, but that's not to say they aren't both great at accomplishing both.
Both have a very dark storyline with an protagonist and antagonist who come into conflict. They both also touch on what is means to be evil, and how evil is made.

Both animes are investigative and deal with Crimes. But their similarities end there. While Monster deals realistically with the theme, Death Note adds Supernatural as a way of controlling events.

- focus on the cat-and-mouse-esque dynamic of a serial killer and the man investigating him

Monster has a more mature and down-to-earth approach to its story, a slower pace and deals quite a lot with the politics of 80's-90's Germany, but if you particularly enjoyed Death Note's characterizations and the dynamic between L and Light, you have to give this one a chance
Both have various discussions about what is right and wrong in our society, as well as an excellent characterization of human corruption and the value of life.
Both have very dark themes but also have moral grays. What really is the right thing to do? And, how can one resolve something that seems impossible to resolve? They are masterpieces that deal with the psychological and will (hopefully) deeply move you. They also feature some of the greatest villains in all of anime (in my opinion, obviously).
