This series is a complex look at morality and poses some very interesting questions. It's a tale of how power corrupts even the purest of intentions. The protagonist of this story originally has the goal for peace through administering justice upon the guilty but his own sense of justice quickly begins to morph throughout the early episodes. What starts as a noble cause becomes a selfish grab for dominance over society, taking pleasure in his intellectual superiority in a game against anyone who dare challenge him.
The other great thing about this series apart from the story itself is the characters. Lets not forget the amazing and talented Miyano, Mamoru who voices Light, you might know him from Steins;Gate where he voices Okabe. The voice acting is superb on the Japanese side and also a surprisingly good dub for anyone interested.
This series is a must watch for fans of Anime, it also serves as a great gateway Anime to introduce new fans. This Anime for me is the one which changes my perspective on Anime from a simple hobby to one of my main interests. I'd also recommend that fans of this Anime check out the live action movies. There is three of them and each has a full Japanese cast.
