Story by Ooba Tsugumi; art by Obata Takeshi (The mangaka of Hikaru no Go)
The human world is rotting. The gods of death are bored.
Death Note begins when the shinigami, Ryuuku, 'accidentally' drops his death note in the human world. It is discovered by 17-year-old academic genius Yagami Raito, who decides that he wishes to create a world free of evil. To what extremes will he go, only needing a name and a face to kill? Or rather...how will he be stopped?

Shoujoboy's Death Note Tv Review
Oh Death Note, what am I to do with you? I wanted to love you dearly and all you did was make my love unrequited. As I've said, Death Note IS good but it just isn't great. That feeling of intrigue that floods you in the beginning fades after a while, and once it does, that's when Death Note loses it's luster. From about the midpoint on, all you really want is a conclusion to it all but instead get many episodes of drudgery. When you do finally get to the end of it all, the storytelling is well done... BUT, it's a bit too predictable in a show that has been everything but.
It has some great characters to love and absolutely abhor. A strong start and a strong finish. Music that amplifies the atmosphere as well as makes you lose your damn mind. It's got fun written all over it...

Jakulito's Death Note Tv Review
So to wrap things up, I can honestly say watching Death Note was quite an experience. The overall packaging of the series was something I'd miss and makes me want to watch some more.
Its definitely a title that's fun to watch over and over again especially if you like serious thrillers which is quite a rarity in anime genres. But although serious, there are plenty of humorous scenes to at least lighten up the mood. Add to that the enjoyability of the anime as a whole and you've got yourself a great series.
I recommend this series to everyone who really likes serious titles that tackle real life issues, morality in this case.
But still, I can't help but state that the later arc is really disappointing for me, and I bet the same goes to some who have watched it, too.

Mechanical-angel's Death Note Manga Review
Presentation is wonderful. ^^
The only thing i don't like about it is that it gets frustrating to read
sometimes as it is in chinese, and the explanations are lengthy and quite a few
"difficult" words are used. It's not that its the author's fault or
anything, but yes, sometimes lengthy dialogue/explanations makes one annoyed.
I nearly "died" reading the 2nd book.
Highly enjoyable if you're looking for a thriller and something to think about.
