Death Note synopsis :
Shinigami own notebooks called "Death Note" which are used as killing devices. Whoever's name they write down in a death note will die. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his death note in the human world where it's found by honor high school student Light Yagami.
Light Yagami discoveres that he now he has the power to discreetly kill people and with this power, he plans to change the world by killing off criminals. Soon, he is called KIRA.
L, a super dectective wants to catch KIRA, believing that KIRA don't have the right to kill.
Then, a cat & mouse situation appeared.
Storyline :
This anime has a pretty good story premise. The storyline is interesting. At first, the pace of the story is slow but then it slowly takes off. The 2nd half of the anime gives you a sudden plot twist which you wouldn't expect.
Music :
The background music that are quite nice. It really gives life to the anime, making the anime more real.
The opening & closing of Death Note are quite nice. Nothing special but nice to listen to.
Animation :
The animation is done really well. The art is really nice. The art is different from most anime because of it's not your usual anime art. The art in Death Note looks the most realistic to humans. The art almost looks real. That's what I like about the art. It gives me a break from the usual anime art.
Characters :
The main character of this anime is Light Yagami. The intelligent honor student & perfect son. He is an intelligent person. Wait, heck, he's brillant. He's a genius. Well, he found a death note and uses it to cleanse the world by killing criminals. You get to see his character development as the story passes.
You will either love him or hate him.
Then we have, L.lawliet, the super dectective. He's also a genius. He wants to arrest KIRA. His character is quite weird & interesting. He likes to eat lots of candies. He is definately a loveable character.
REVIEW :
This another must watch anime. This anime has an interesting mental battle and it always leave you wondering who will win the game. It's a very exciting anime filled with suspense.
The ending of this anime leaves you wanting more but you can't have it because it ended. I, personally wanted more! The ending is quite sad and not really happy. But there could be no other ending than this because the author didn't attempt to make a happy ending at all and wrote in a way that drove to this ending.
So I rate this anime 4 STARS!!
