-Synopsis-

Yagami Light is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the “Death Note”, lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note’s instructions claim that if a human’s name is written within it that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note’s authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become “the God of the new world” by passing his judgment on criminals.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as “L“. L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as “Kira” (derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word “Killer“), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

Curiosity got the better of me!! ▼

Death Note, this anime is probably one of the many good series I’ve ever watched. The good thing about this anime is that it demands for attention, look away a second and you’ll have missed what’s happening. The storyline is just captivating, lots of well thought out details with little or no loopholes.

Every episode sees something happening, leaves much to be said when by the end of the episode, you’ll find yourself just going blank, because you’ll have to wait for the next episode.

It’s not just the storyline, but the characters as well. It’s really amazing how Light and L try to outplay each other with mind boggling psychological warfare and trying to out-think and think ahead of each other. Truly exhilarating indeed. I find myself breathless after every episode as if I can’t get enough water to quench my thirst. I truly love Light, he might be evil but in some sick, twisted way, you tend to fall in love with Light and want him to not get caught! Despite loving Light, I love L too, his eccentricism is so funny, truly amazing.

This anime rivals some non-anime series for it’s detective scenario. Indeed, I love this anime as much as I love CSI you can never guess what’s going to be happening, when Light is gonna get caught, when is L going to finally get the mass murderer and such (unless they reveal it themselves, of course).

This is definitely one of the animes that will not be forgotten for a while yet.
