Story
The story is about a shinigami dropping a book that can kill anyone with just knowing a name or face. Light the main character picks it up and tries to kill all criminals to make a new world and become a god of it. The main antagonist (or protagonist depending how you look at it) L one of the worlds top detectives is trying to stop him from doing this.
Characters
The characters in this anime are very well thought out Misa was a very good chess piece for Light's plan and was the one time a waifu made a story driven anime like this so much better and could of been done with a male character. Light has a very sincere goal with the death note at first in trying to make the world better but later turns a wall making for a very well developed character. L gave Light a very fitting enemy that made the plot interesting and enjoyable for me.
THE BAD
There is a very unexpected event that switched up the plot making new enemies come into play named Mihael and Mello. These characters are very different brothers that made a second arc that really pissed me off and wasn't as enjoyable as the L arc.
Verdict
Even though I really didn't enjoy the Mello and Mihael arc Death Note is still an amazing anime that I could recommend to anyone it did a lot of things right and didn't do many things wrong
