Well, here it is, the all-famed Death Note. I have to say, I figured since so many people love it, it can't be bad. Boy, was I wrong. Death Note has an incredibly mediocre plot for what it set out to do. The story, as we all know, is about the discovery of the Death Note that can kill those whose names are written in it. Original? Somewhat. Well-executed? Hardly. The art and the sound were really good, which is a shame that they seemed to make it pretty and ran out of focus and funding for a good story and characters. Don't even get me started on the characters. L was the cute, quirky villain(original right? Oh wait, that's been beaten to death) and Light was your typical emotastic sqeenix type character with a vendetta against society. I've seen much better crime drama anime like Boogiepop Phantom and Paranoia Agent, which is a shame because this piece of crap ended up being one of, if not the most popular, crime anime. Oh well, you guys can have your Death Note, I'm just saying it's an all-around bad anime that really doesn't deserve all the hype it gets.
