Anime,for me,has always been about crazy plots,sometimes crazy characters and mostly bat-s**t insane fights on one side and your usual high school drama interlaced with the usual anime tropes on the other..So,I was surprised when my friend recommended Death Note..Trust me,for a guy who watched DBZ,Naruto and the like,Death Note was different....

It's essentially a Sherlock Holmes type story..Only thing is we're seeing it from Light Yagami's side(You could say he's like Moriarty) and L(Sherlock,I guess)is the detective out to get him,with a dose of magic thrown in.It's the best cat and mouse game between the characters I'd seen in anime.Like Ever.. If you never watched anime,Death Note is a great start.For anime fans,It's a must watch.
