Death Note was one of the first anime series' I've watched in a while. What drew me to it was its dark setting. The art is amazing, the creativity is unmatched, and the story moves along very smoothly. There are some parts where the show seems to slow down, but it was entertaining to watch something that was more "brain vs brain" rather than senseless violence. This is a great show to start watching if you are just getting into anime. The series is fairly short (37 Episodes). It's still one of my top favorites.
