OK, so I'll try make this short as I realise reading a lengthy review can be quite tedious when you'd much rather be spending the time watching anime :)

For me, there are two words which describe this: Suspenseful and Thrilling.

The story begins of Yagami Light, a regular student stumbles upon a "Death Note" that, to keep it simple, when a name is written, that person shall die of a heart attack or a written cause chosen by the writer.

The story develops onwards, whereby Light eliminates all criminals to develop a Utopia, a world free from crime.

Following the outbreak of such deaths, centered around Japan, a ... highly regarded investigator, known as "L" is brought upon to find the killer. Thus ensues a compelling storyline in which "L" wants to find the killer (Light), whilst Light wants to find who this mysterious "L"is.

Have you ever watched a TV series, where at the end of each episode, there is a cliffhanger that leaves the audience wanting to know what happens next?

Well, this is what Death Note is, and before you know it, watching a couple episodes will not be enough, and all of a sudden, you want to know more of what happens next and so on.

I'll leave it here, not wanting to spoil this anime for others. If you havent seen it, I highly recommend it to everyone.
