This is the first anime series that I ever watched in full, which I’m sure surprises no one :p This is a ton of peoples first anime, and I’m really glad that it has that status, it’s very deserving. Death Note has an incredibly interesting story that has you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Even if you’ve already seen it before, you find yourself unable to take your eyes off the screen. I would recommend it to you if you like detective shows that feel like they were written by a genius, creepy but not horror, or want to be in the know about top anime series (trust me, if you haven’t seen this, you are going to hear “OMG YOU’VE NEVER SEEN DEATH NOTE?” many times, it really is that popular). I would not recommend it to you if you get scared easily, are triggered by several death scenarios, or dislike evil main characters.

The Good!!~
The absolute best aspect of this show to me is everyone trying to figure out Kira’s identity~ Even though you know exactly who it is, it feels like you are solving the mystery right alongside them. L is obviously a stand out, him being my and many others favourite character because of his intellect, quirks, and the biggest threat Kira faces. Even though we are watching from Light’s perspective for most of the show, you absolutely despise him but not in a way that makes the show bad. It just makes you root for L & the others more. Ryuk the shinigami is also a great comic relief! His role in the show is so interesting since no one can see him unless they touch the book, it leads to some great moments~
The Bad…;
Personally, I really hate the second intro 😣 The first one isn’t that great either, but it definitely grows on you unlike the second, at least in my case. But the number 1 worst thing about this show is something I don’t wanna spoil, but when it happens, the entire mood and vibe of the show shifts. So definitely, at least in my case, the first half of the show is superior and I think the show went on a big longer than it should’ve.
