If you've watched Death Note, the main characters are incredibly similar in terms of persuasion and confidence. Without giving too much away, our protagonist is a young student at a prestigious academy who has acquired a mysterious power from a young witch who befriends him as he decides to avenge his dead mother.
At first glance it could seem a bit cliche, (who hasn't heard a story like that along the same lines before?) but I guarantee it is worth a watch. It's not your typical Michael Bay explosion/fast cuts type of production.
The main characters are explored and developed. They have back stories and different passions that drive them. What I think is most interesting is the planning and strategy our protagonist uses to achieve his goals. Last but not least, the ending is splendid as it leaves the viewer with a sense of accomplishment since most characters are given a final view of their lives after all the dust has settled.
I watched this every week as it was being aired on tv and I couldn't get enough. Would recommend! (8 - 9 out of 10)
