Death note probably , one of the most intelligent series i have seen. It has one of the dubs that i have seen ever in an anime ,the whole English voice over cast is brilliantly chosen as each an every voice fits the role perfectly ,for example the role of ryuk which perfectly show's how ryuk doesn't give two shits about light is just there for the sheer fun of it and also is very goofy and this is perfectly encapsulated by Brian drummond .
Story
This one of the most intelligent shows i have seen as far and it is good to
...
find this kinds of shows , which will make your brain into mush as you will have no idea of whats going on and will try to figure out ,but what you will see will completely shock you as you have experienced what you would never have expected , but this is not constant as the 2nd half is more and more predictable and not as much as enjoyable.which is too bad otherwise it would have reached my top spot of my favorite anime list
Art
This one of the most beautiful art i have ever seen, it perfectly fits the mood of this morally grey series with this ever present grayish tint and whenever the character is in deep though or having an intimate conversation it will zoom into their face and change the color scheme to fit that respective character like for example whenever L is thinking his hair changes to blue which might mean intelligence or show his drive to figure out the truth and in the case of Light it turns to red which signifies his power and the great passion of his to became the "GOD OF THE NEW WORLD"
Sound
Nothing much needs to be said about the soundtrack because it in itself stands out the most about this series as this soundtrack is the one which i always play on the background when i am working or studying or even to gym as it gives you the motivation and pumps you up for whatever that is your doing , this soundtrack in itself tells a story as i think that certain instruments are for a specific character like the distorted guitar for light , the piano and the clean guitar for L etc . Both the ops and the eds are impeccable which makes it hard to skip them .
Character
The main reason why this show is so damn good is mainly because of the characters ,as everybody is unique and get so much development in a single episode that some series takes 5-6 episodes to do which is amazing ,and this makes for some of the best interchanges between the characters .some of my favorite characters are L(of course),matsuda and ryuk they fit their roles in the story like how how L is the best detective , and is a genius who eats a lot i mean a LOT if sugar,matsuda being the goofball and the youngest in the task force,which proves sometimes how he is a bit childish like how when watari gives the task force fake ids and security belts he becomes excited,and then ryuk being ryuk that's all i need to say about him
Overall it is a very enjoyable series but it also has its faults like the part where near is introduced who is basically the step in for light which makes him uninteresting and the ending omg sooooo unfitting and also unfulfilling but that doesn't make it a bad half but an inferior half to the first half in which nobody took the time to find faults as there were not many and it also had L which made it awesome
That's all from me
Peace out
