Murderers, killers, rapists, robbers, muggers, just about any sort of criminal, prepare yourselves to die. Kira is on the loose, and he doesn't take kindly to criminals.
What happens when a genius with a high sense of justice and sees how the world is extremely corrupt finds a notebook that allows him to kill anyone he wants to by adding their names into it? You get Death Note, one of the best animes I've watched so far, ever since I was young. The suspense between two geniuses fighting each other is always amazing, but Death Note takes it to a whole 'nother level. The difference betweeen the anime and manga wasn't much so it's not something to really fret about. The manga has all the Death Note rules written on it every few chapters though which I found pretty cool.
Light Yagami is a high school student with an IQ that exceeds standards. He also has a very strong sense of justice, which makes him resent the growing amount of crime and corruption. One day, after a regular day at school, he happens to come across a notebook called the "Death Note". There were a set of rules and "how to use" on the first page which indicates that writting a person's name in the notebook while thinking of the person's face will cause them to die. Light exploits this power and uses it to kill criminals while using his popular alias, "Kira" to show people that there is someone watching over people and sending down the hammer of justice. Secretly reknowned famous detective "L" picks up on this fact and issues Kira a challenge on who shall get who first.
This show is just absolutely gripping. No episode is without any excitement, or interest. Every turn of the story is like a mini heart attack of excitement. This is one of those very bold and outstanding animes of all time, and it's proven so, seeing that the show received countless amouts of fans and has received quite the amount of praises from critics. Death Note is just one of those animes that you just can't miss in your lifetime, and that will always be so to me.
Death Note: 10/10
