First off, DAMN... Who hasn't written a review for this? ANYWAYS...
This is a revolutionary anime, which delves into the human sub-conscious, questioning if your more of a pessimistic or optimistic person. In the beginning, you are introduced to Light, the main character, who obtains the power to kill whomever, where ever, and whenever (well at least 45 seconds from now.). I loved this anime because it really gets to you. Although everybody, when born, is naturally good spirited, you often find yourself cheering for light. A man who becomes a murderer for the better good of man, or so he says. Then overtime, the plot flourishes, turning into an international story.
All in all, I give this anime an 11/10, because of it's new ideas, and it's potential to relate to the common man.
