Well this show is literally the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be. It got an unbelievable rating of 9 on IMDb, that's like the second highest rating of any anime show after the Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, which is at 9.1 .. well for me to narrate the synopsis of this show , well should I or should I not .. it's all about criminology after all .. there's a guy who discovers a notebook fallen from the Angel of Death from above . And whoever's name he writes in the notebook once he discovers it's powers literally dies within the mentioned seconds, and if he writes the cause of death then that person is gonna die in that same way. So this guy Light Moon Yagami, whose the main antagonist of the story is like the villain, he starts considering himself to be some sort of god for the people , and the new world which he creates . So this guy starts killing all the criminals from the world even those who weren't on death penalty that he hears about on the news but in the process whoever tries to stop him devilishly kills them too .. now the Japanese task force, when all hope gets lost to catch Light cause no one knew who was killing all the criminals or how did they just die with simple heart attacks if no cause of death was mentioned in the notebook .. call in a person who literally is never wrong about anything and never has he failed in catching criminals. Now Light Yagami cannot write his name in the Deathnote cause no one knows his true name even he himself doesn't know it so he just refers to him as L .. he gives the name Riyuzaki to the task force but that's not his real name either . But through the shinigami eyes that's the death angel's eyes one can see the real name of the person, but whoever takes those eyes reduces there lifespan to half, does Light take those eyes or does he get someone else to do it. Then how does L catch Light, This show is all about catching Light and putting him to justice . How do they do it is what this show is all about . Once you watch this show, you may never come across another show like it . This is literally the show of all shows.
