Death note is one season series that tells a story of a smart high school student's ambition about changing the world. His name is Light Yagami and he finds a notebook that gives him power to kill people and Yagami uses this notebook to punish criminals but not everything is that simple.

The thing is it is a kind serial killer story but it brings some fresh ideas to the table.

The series sometimes makes you feel smart to watch the series and it is not an easy thing to convey this feeling to the audience. One of the most crucial point is the clash between Light Yagami and L characters, it is very thrilling to watch two compelling characters trying to outsmart each other. From these aspects series is a different and interesting and I really liked this aspect of the series. On the other hand, I must add that I really would like to watch past of L and Watari characters, how they met each other and how they became a team.

There are a few things I didn't like in the series, first of all After two characters has been introduced named Near and Mello, I couldn't connect with them so a few episodes could shortened because some episodes decreased my concentration. One other thing is Misa character and her Shinigami's actions are very illogical during the series so I didn't like their story arc. In short, I really liked this anime series and I can say that however I don't watch so much animes, it is one of the best I have seen so far. Mostly it deserves its imdb rating and I suggest it to everyone who likes to watch serial killer- detective stories and I assure you will find it more than a serial killer-detective story. If you want to fully enjoy the series I advise you to ignore a few illogical things in the storyline.
