Death Note is basically the story of a not so regular high school guy (he happens to be the best student in japan) who finds a notebook with the power of killing people just by writing their names on it and having their their faces in your thoughts wile you do it. The guy starts to kill bad guys all over Japan but the story focuses on his tactics to avoid being caught and sentenced.

Death Note is definitely one of the best series I have ever watched. Its amazing how it keeps you always focused on whats happening. Its like it was on a constant climax state. Characters are really well built and animation is also really good.

I find that the most interesting part of Death Note is that actually the main character is someone that you cant love or hate. You get somewhat attached to him and you don't want him to get caught but at the same time you know he does terrible things (not the killing criminals part but the things he does to avoid being discovered)(not to mention the fact that he cares for no one, and all he does is use people to achieve what he wants) and you kind of hate him for it.

Not just the main character is interesting, but all the other characters are really cool and you get really attached to most of them.

My personal experience watching this series was basically a lot of: NOOOOO!! I Cant Believe this is Happening!! and a couple of other things I cant really mention here. Well, there is just one thing I didn't like... The second opening theme is really really bad... Maybe some of you like it and that is cool. I just don't like that kind of music.

Anyway... I really recommend this series.. it is one of those that you just cant miss. I guarantee you will enjoy it very much.
