Story - 10/10
I love how the story progresses throughout the show, from Light finding the Death Note to him becoming a maniac later in the show. He uses the notebook to 'create' a 'new world' in which he will be the god of, in which only criminals will be punished.
Sound - 9.5/10
Death Note is one of the anime with one of the best soundtracks in the industry. The soundtrack on Death Note plays a huge part in the Anime. The 'opera-like' music shows Lights God-like aspects. The second OP though, is a downgrade from the first one.
Art - 10/10
Yet another amazing aspect of Death Note, from the Opening, to the Anime. The animation is truly amazing. The Animation on the first Opening syncs perfectly with the song. It has heavy Christian Symbolism which shows Light's desire to become the 'god' of the 'new world'. A lot of scenes are perfectly animated as well. (the potato chip scene)
Characters - With the story firstly mainly focusing on Light who is shown to be a genius high school boy, but when he proceeds to find the Death Note his character changes. Light becomes a maniac, obsessed with killing criminals and creating this 'New World' of his. L, L was the opposite of Light, he was an anti-social genius. He tried to catch Kira risking his own life which lead up to his death. Misa, Misa was my least favorite character, she is shown to be obsessed with Light because he punished her parents killers, so if Light gives her any order she immediately does what he says. She is shown to not be very smart risking it all at some points in the series.
Overall - 10/10
