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...
So much has been said about how great this anime is. I could tell you that the story is unique and very engaging that it leaves you at the edge of your seat and you are left with the urge to watch the next one. I could tell you that the animation is superb, the characters are well drawn and the mood upon which the scenes are presented are dark and gritty which compliments the story well. I could tell you that the soundtrack is amazing and probably one of the best soundtracks any anime fan would come across in this genre. I could tell you all these things but 196 people who reviewed this anime before me probably already did. I am reviewer number 197. I belong to one of many who gave this anime a 5 star rating. Do I really need to tell you to go watch this?
