When I was 16 years old, I was aware to the anime ''Death Note''. I always wanted to watch it, but I didn't have a time, because of the studies.
But after I've graduated and the anime was still popular, after it was finished airing, I decided to watch it after I've finished D. Gray Man in the holidays.
And thus, any Wednesday (Every day I am watching a different anime), I found myself as a following after Light's steps on the way to kill his victims, while he uses a powerful notebook which called: ''Death Note''.

Story: Exceptional! During the most shounen animes are busy in to cut monsters or evil guys, Death Note brought a genuine story that wasn't in another anime.
Because after all, this anime, you learn that you can't change the world and decide who will live and who will die and only god can do it by itself. What makes the anime educational. LOL

Art: The art was very dark ling, proper to a plot which have dark elements. The background suits well the occupations that happened in the anime non-stop.
But, can someone tell me why Ryuk and the other shinigamis went ugly with scary faces? Why they have no humanity faces such as the human, which have normal faces? I don't know, but, so be it.

Sound: The sound is such as the art. Suits the plot very much. But I don't understand one thing: Why there is a returning continuity that there is a sound of flowing water and after that, Kira's theme? But still, the songs are addicting (Ask also the people who that their favorite song is ''What's Up People?'') and the voice actors in Japanese made a good work (Luckily, I didn't saw in English): Miano Mamorou made a good work as Light, Aya Hirano, went out Misa as well: Dumb as a popstar can please. Yamaguchi Kappei did L very mysterious and after that how he did an awsome character after InuYasha.

Characters: Although Light was the main character, sorry to tell it, but Ryuk is the real star of the anime. Although he dropped the Death Note to the human world and followed after Light, while the second was busy to kill criminals for a better world, Ryuk didn't do anything without eating apples, but still, in the end he went a king.
But with all the respect for Light and Ryuk, my most favorite character is Lawliet L of course. The fangirls (of L) behind me are whispering to me that he is hot. Yes, he is very hot, but it's not enough. In my opinion, the reason I loved L so much, is because he was very smart and very intelligent. He was chasing Kira in any sophisticated plans that for them, he needed the Japanese police and acted them well. You can say that Near is very smart (He leaded the SPK) or Mello is very smart (He used in the abduction way), but still, a guy who plays toys (Near) and a guy who always eats chocolate and leads a mafia, can't beat a guy, although eats sweets all time, knows what he does.
Although Misa was my hated character, because of her foolishness (That maybe came from her voice actor), Misa was a character with a very sad personal life story, and that's why she values Kira's work, although she has a shinigami by herself (Rem).

Enjoyment: I was very enjoyed from the anime. It was such as a spinning roller coaster in specially. Maybe some people think Death Note is overrated, so, guys, you didn't see anything. Death Note is an anime with a very big lesson to your life, in my opinion, but say what you want.

Overall: If you are looking for a shounen anime with ideas that would never been in the other animes of the genre, go to watch Death Note and you won't be disappointment even for a minute.
