Okay so, Death Note is by far one of my favourite anime. Lemme just say that. And yes, i know i might not be as much of a credible source as other's because I've only watched a fraction of the anime others have, but dear god Death Note is good.
------------------------------------------Story: 10-----------------------------------
Death Note is an anime that really hooked me in with the premise. The whole story of a bored high-school student that happens to find a notebook on the ground that end up changing the world, is a great premise if you think about it. I thought it was awesome how you could see Light's
...
descent into madness as he becomes Kira more and more, until the last episode when he snaps. Plus L is an awesome character. Just saying.
-------------------------------------------Art: 9--------------------------------------
While i will say that the art of Death Note still holds up pretty well in this day and age, it is a little bit dated. I'm still giving it a 9 because it's still really good though.
----------------------------------------Sound: 10------------------------------------
I am a sucker for the music in Death Note. It's fantastic. I can't fault it. The 2 openings, The WORLD and What's up, people!? are phenomenal songs. I would say my favourite is The WORLD though, because it isn't as harsh on the ears as the Death Metal of What's up, people!?. L's theme and Near's theme are easily 2 of my favourite themes out of all the anime i have watched.
---------------------------------------Character: 10---------------------------------
Okay, just gonna say it. My favourite character is L. His personality is cold and dead (like my heart) but you see him open up to Light and the other members of the task force. When he said the line about Light being his first friend, it was a bittersweet feeling. I also like Aizawa and Matsuda. On the other hand, I didn't really like Light. I thought he was okay, but I was really rooting for L because the things he did ended up becoming worse and worse over time, Like what he did with Naomi Misora and Raye Penber. I thought Near was... okay... I guess. He kind of felt like an 11th hour character but i didn't really mind because i was swept up in the hype of the end of Death Note. The whole idea that you have to figure out yourself whether Light is a good or bad person is a great idea. It creates discussion around the anime, and i love being in a community where we could discuss it. Plus the fact that you know L is a good person but he is still technically the antagonist of the series. It all makes you question everything, and i think that's awesome.
--------------------------------------Enjoyment: 10---------------------------------
I both laughed and cried watching Death Note. It was emotional and I loved it. A lot. I really couldn't recommend it enough. If you have seen any other reviews like this then fantastic! I hope I can persuade you to watch this show. Great one to watch with friends. I've convinced my friends to watch it (and they're on episode 6 and i'm done. Whoops.)
---------------------------------------OVERALL: 10----------------------------------
Overall Death Note has become one of my favourite anime and i will eventually re-watch it! Thanks for reading.
