Summary:
Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...
This is probably one of the best stories I have ever seen in an anime!! The characters are dynamic, the plot is brilliant and gripping and the dialogue is amazing!! The animation is perfect for the anime as there aren't many action scenes. While I personally prefer comic anime, the gripping story of Death Note was enough to make this as entertaining as any comedy - I can't rate the story of this highly enough!! A definite must watch for anyone who likes mystery/detective stories!!
