Death note at first was a great anime as it introduces you to a whole new idea and seems very captivating. Later on throughout the story, it gets really boring and the ending is terrible. The whole concept of a chase mystery genre was a great idea but if they didnt make it so confusing and made a bunch of plot holes it wouldve been much better. Like its a good anime but definitely not on the level as high tier anime like the big 5. Its comparable to some short anime like tokyo ghoul or sword art online which are fantastic anime but comparing it to top tier anime its nowhere near its level
