Death Note - Anime 2006-2007

Death Note
9.5/10

Death Note is a Mystery/Thriller Anime which has only one season. The show portrays a Realm of Shinigamis (Gods of Death) who posses a Death Note to Kill people in the real world, the Note has the power to kill a person whose name is written in it within 60 seconds with the writer keeping his victim's face in mind. A Shinigami named Ryuk somehow gets possession of another Death Note and drops it in the World, now this is where the Antagonist (soon-to-be) is introduced named Light Yagami who is an intelligent high-school going student, grabs hold of the Death Note. At first the simple boy does not know what to do with it but then he decides to test it on a criminal, after recognising the first hand effects of the Notebook he sets himself on a crusade to dispose off all the criminals in the world and make himself God of The New World free of evil men. Criminals worldwide start to die in huge numbers, after a large number of deaths government agencies all around the world are alerted and try to solve the mystery behind these deaths, this is where the Protagonist publicly known by the alias L comes in. L is a secretly working person who has helped solve many complicated cases in the past and is known as the best case solver.
As the story proceeds Light and L both race off to the finish line where Light seeing L as an immediate threat and needs to kill him and L fighting to bring Light to justice.The show is extremely brilliant with a very intense battle of two great minds.
The show overall is flawless but it starts to slack in the middle after a major turn of events but it picks up pace again after the advent of a new major character.
This anime is not only one of my best watched anime's but it also is one of my best watched TV show's and without a doubt is is the best ever.
My favourite part of the show is when Light gets the death note back in the helicopter and all his previous memories of it return to him.
