Death Note is simply one of the best anime series I have ever seen, having an outstanding animation, very interesting and developed characters as well as a magnificent plot, filled with many unpredictable and surprising plot twists, keeping a high level of tension from the beginning until the ending of the story. The main premise of this series was pretty attractive and very well developed, making a great use of some supernatural elements in a realistic context. The motivations and psychology of the characters are portrayed in a very convincing manner: Their complex personality's serves as the main core of the plot development, resulting in one of the most fascinating mystery series ever made (in my opinion).

The animation is simply excellent: Not only the character's designs are beautifully made (Having all those designs many subtle details which are able to combine realism with the stylish characteristics from the anime aesthetic) but also has a flawless atmosphere, which captures perfectly well the overall mood of this series. The use of colors and light effects is equally brilliant, keeping a high quality level in all the episodes. The voice acting and the music are effective, complementing the greatness of the plot and the animation.

Death Note deserved all the hype and praise that it received, being one of the most brilliant anime that I've ever watched. I highly recommend this series to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
