Death Note is one of the most popular animes around, with both avid anime fans, and general public enjoying thestory.

Death Note is different, and definetley worth a watch, the story is clever, surprising you with the twists and turns, in both plot and in characters. The first 20 episodes had me hooked.

But after a while, Death Note lost my interest my appeal was lost on the story.
I found Light to be more annoying than clever, and his gradual psycological change became inane and almost unbareble. Killings became more and more lost of reason, with murders committed just for the sake of them. The twists became ... predicatable, and I only finished the series to see how it ended.

But with the bad comes the good,
The art is very well done, with a more realistic take on the traditional anime style.
The overall background of the characters was well built up, and the story didn't have many holes, which one finds with this type of anime in particular, and the supernatural concept of shinigami in the real world seemed plausible.

Overall I give this series a 6.
It's worth a watch, and judge it for yourself.
