~ No matter how gifted you are, you alone cannot change the world ~ (Death Note)

Story: The world is full of injustices. From the beginning of time, strong has always preyed upon the weak. The young guns are full of hope and dreams. One of them is Yagami Light, a high schooler who had this desire to wipe out the evil from this world. Since his journey to become the "god of the new world" begins.

It is a highly refined story which show two brilliant minds battling it out for what they believe. On one side it was Yagami Light who is killing criminals ... in the name of Justice. He believes world leaders failed to implement Justice in the world and he took it upon himself to do their dirty work. On the other side it was L who is renowned for his investigation skills. L believes that killing murderers is still a crime. The real evil is the power to kill people. No matter how you anyone use it, anything obtained by killing people can never bring true happiness.

The story is narrated beautifully with plots one after the other. The story might seems to get a little dull after Yotsuba Arc starts. But it was only a setup for what is about to come. A part from that it was almost flawless for an anime. The most intriguing thing in this anime will be the back and forth cheap blows between Light and L. When L gets an inch closer to finding who is "Kira" (people gave the name to the culprit who is responsible for killing criminals), Light makes it a miles apart. The unpredictability is what will get you hooked up on this anime. The excitement never cease to end until the final episode. One of the things which makes it different from other animes is that the story was narrated from Yagami Light's view even though he is the villain!

Emotion: Death Note never fails to put a smile in you face or makes you cry. It makes you jump from excitement. The unpredictability make sure that you would say "Didn't see that coming" like a million times. The emotion on your face will change along with the plot. Moreover the characters also depicts the emotion perfectly.

Music/Sound: The background music suits well with the anime. It helps to generate the emotions perfectly. The background music plays a major role in telling a story and expressing feelings.

Uniqueness: As aforementioned, Uniqueness is one of the major thing to look for in this anime. It is pretty unique from your everyday anime. Most importantly it has the "IT" Factor which will make you hungrier for more and more. The Ending of the anime is also very good. Since no spoilers is included, you have to watch and see the difference between most of the anime and Death Note.

Own View: I really enjoyed this anime. I don’t usually like dark animes but Death Note made my face glued to the screen until I finished all the episodes. And most of all, this is my favorite anime so far. So I highly recommend anyone who watches anime to check this masterpiece. I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.

My Score: Perfect 10!
