Review By: John Fragglepuss Evans
Death Note is a popular anime and it is easy to see why. It is a quality show that has plenty of character development, a complex storyline, good animation, a quality soundtrack, and a realistic setting combined with supernatural aspects. The show involves a lot of death so the immense popularity does somewhat surprise me, but then again, Attack on Titan is one of the most popular anime out there, and it involves just as much death and maturity.
As previously mentioned, there are a lot of positives to the show. The characters and their development make you feel strongly toward them, whether it is love or hate. The Shinigami in the show are interesting and enjoyable to watch. The line between good and evil is difficult to see at times in this anime. Who is the hero and who is the villain? I found myself asking that question repeatedly throughout the series.
You might enjoy this if: You want a unique story that will have you hooked from the first episode. This is not just a quality anime, but a quality show of any type.
You might not like it if: You do not have the patience for a 37 episode series.
Note to the Viewer: Be prepared to pause before and after the commercial breaks. They show the rules of the Death Note.
