Death Note




Very dark and gothic but very interesting anime, nonetheless. The plot is surprising and full of twist especially Season 1. The mind battle between the protagonist/antagonist, Light (a.k.a. Kira) and Ryuzaki (the so-called number 1 detective in the world) is quite fascinating.

In the end of Season 1, Light outwitted by carefully planning his moves. However, he was eventually discovered in Season 2 by L's successor, no less.

What's interesting in this anime is Light, the son pf a police officer, believes that peace could be achieved by judging and killing criminals. I guess, the saying "innocent until proven guilty" does not work for him. Being fortunate enough (?) to get hold of the powerful Death Note, he saw himself as the God of the New World because he could kill people merely by writing their names on the Death Note. Ryuzaki is the guy whose out to get him though...

I won't bother with the gory details, lest i would take away excitement of some who hasn't seen the ending *wink*. One thing is certain, this anime is so entertaining but don't watch at night...you might see a shinigami watching it along with you...hehe...
