Story (Tsugumi Ohba): If you have a taste for mystery, then Death Note is the Anime/Manga for you. Despite all the absence of gun-slinging, kicking and punching and all the stuff like that, Death Note is still somewhat....acceptable as an action-genre. For some reason. Death Note, for me is and will always be one of the most unique and mind-blowing Anime/Manga in recent history. Let's face it; when you see "Shonen Jump" on the front of the page you will probably think it's a bad manga. But then, Death Note carries story elements and an intellectual integrity that is more commonly seen in your literary ... classics than your usual Shonen Jump title.

Art (Takeshi Obata): Particularly notable is Ryuk, who could have been turned into a fan-pandering bishonen-style character but instead is a scary, hulking beast, the kind of thing most people would probably think of when they're asked to imagine what a grim spectre of death would look like. But I would say they looked like having more fun drawing L, the childish detective and deuteragonist of the series.

Sound: Amazing music.Particularly notable is the opening theme, which is dark and heavy. Good pick for a genre- rock

Ok. to act like a real reviewer. I'll display a grade:

Story: A+
Art: A
Overall: positive, thumbs-up, A+, 5 stars.... hehe :P
