Death Note is the most amazing story I have ever seen. It remains to this day my favorite piece of fiction. The story is incredibly unique. The story has some dark themes, and really makes you think.
The story is mostly split up into 3 parts, but the majority of the series breaks down to the battle between the Japanese police department and Kira, a mass murder who kills criminals by writing their name in a notebook. The epic battles of intelligence between the police investigation and Kira are what make this serious so endearing to watch and so mentally engaging.
Story: The absolute best part
...
of this series. The twist and turns make you demanding to watch the next episode. The strongest and most interesting story I have ever encountered. You will not be able to wait to see what Kira and the police department's next move will be. 10/10
Art: It is very well animated, and everything from the grimness, to the insane look in kira's eye, to L's hard stare, set the mood perfectly. You can tell how far the world falls and how much desperation and insanity set in as it progresses. The quiter moments are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. 10/10
Sound: From the exciting themes as Kira and L go head to head, to sutle background music as they lay in thought, set the mood perfectly for the story. 10/10
Character: I have not met a single person who did not fall in love with L, and while light may be a little harder to like those who think similar to him, and even some who don't will cheer for him throughout. The cast is filled with a very diverse and interesting set of characters who almost all have some impact on the plot and help move the story forward. My only gripe with this is Misa can sometimes be really annoying. 9/19
Enjoyment: I finished the entire series in 2 days of almost straight nonstop watching, and afterwards I felt like m best friend had just died. One of the most amazing experiences, one I would relive over and over if given the chance. 10/10
Overall: If it is not clear yet, let me summarize: if you enjoy and engaging tale of intelligence, action, with some darker themes then you must absolutely watch death note.
