Death Note​

Light Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change in the year 2003, when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. 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 notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes 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 those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

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.


Personally I think its a great anime, what do you guys think about this?

I love it. It is so original. Not many anime have you disliking the main protagonist that's for sure. I watch it every week on Adult Swim. I just wish it was on every night so I didn't have to wait a week.

I watched the anime version and loved it. While the entire Death Note story was brilliantly presented, I particularly enjoyed the first half of the series. Very exciting, watching the masterminds duke it out.

I liked it a lot but hated Light lol so the ending made me happy.

As someone once said Death Note really ended on ep 26 or whenever
L died
everything after was just hax xD

I really liked Death Note, mainly at the start when L totally "owned" Light by discovering a lot of things about him by just observing his actions. Didn't liked the ending though.
