Death Note is a quality anime. The plot centers around Light Yagami, a high school student who is known for being very smart, finds the Death Note, a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it as long as the person writing the name has memorized their face.
Light Yagami's only challenge is the brilliant detective L who is basically a discount batman. L was orphaned at a young age and is armed with lots of money and a butler.
The first 25 episodes of Death Note are amazing. They work perfectly with the soundtrack and the animation is brilliant.
After episode 25, with the introduction of Near and Mello, the series takes quite a drastic plummet. Then the series goes back uphill with the introduction of Mikami, or as I call him, the delete guy.
Episode 25 and 37 are hard hitters in terms of the feels so watch out for that ;)
