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?

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...

Very intriguing and interesting. Very good mind battle that occurs between the main characters, this series proves you
don't need over the top battle elements to create a great battle and rivalry, and the music and visuals blend into the
atmosphere of the anime very well.
Only complaint is that the anime slows done in the middle of the series and is a lot less interesting until closer
towards the end.
Hypnotic and upsetting, different from everything else. It starts like a masterpiece, but after .... death it became a
little ripetitive. Even so, it's unique and Raito and L are great characters, their brilliant moves are always
unexpected and unpredictable. One of the strong point in the anime is that it never leaves doubts, everything is
perfectly explained. For once the main character is an anti-hero and it's so weird not knowing whether to root for the
"good guys" or the "bad guys"!!

Wa ha ha! I finally found something I have actually watched and do not have the manga! it is a good work nonetheless, but not one of my all-time favorites. What I personally dilsiked about this series is the deep thinking that os ever so present throughout the series. Light has to many monologues, which makes the seires a little heavy and slow to be followed. It takes a lot of patience to understand the series itself, and the action is barely there, but it still represents a must see for fans of psichological and detective stories.
SolemnSerpent rated 8.00:ASDFGHJKL;- intense and pretty damn awesome. I'm such a Kira fangirl it isn't funny- so it's no surprise that I loathe the ending and wish that for once, everything could've worked out that way I wanted it too. And who gets killed with a fountain pen? I mean, seriously?

This story can be distinguished from the rest because the detectives of the anime are rare (even mystical).
The plot twisted and complex anime, and you need to watch closely and intensely for what's happening on the screen. At
first I could not decide on whose side I'm of two characters. A further example for Yagami it became clear how much
power corrupts people.
But even so, I believe that the death of one character in the middle of the show was unnecessary - that's why the ending
of the movie satisfied me more than the anime ending
