Summary:
Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...
The concept of a book that could kill someone by name alone. I saw the first episode and thought to myself this isn't going to be good or last more than like 5 eps. Boy was I wrong. The story is so deep that you get caught up in the moment. The struggle between family, power, and just plain pride is EPIC! The animation is dark in certain points and bright in other to add to the mood. The soundtracks are amazing and the voice actors as wonderful.
