One of the great mysteries in this world is how small the human identity is. As a kind of remote business, I am sure we all know that our lives are just dust spots in a storm of chaos. But that reality rarely comes home, and I'm not sure it will ever come to that. We humans and probably all living things live near us — something tangible that we can comprehend. It is probably easy to think this way again, otherwise you have to deal with an existing problem.


Summary

Death Note character Light Yagami is an example of something extravagant in this spectrum. He is a perfect student of all kinds — he is an athlete, intelligent, handsome, and kind. He is an actor and a liar with a high complexion, and before the plot began in the anime, his attitude toward life was that of a man who played a game with no purpose and knew all the cheating codes in it. Life is boring, and moreover, it is a rotten place full of despised people.

However, he finds the Death Note, a booklet called shinigami, also known as the god of death or the wicked harvester, who uses it to kill people. The Death Note requires the owner to enter a person's name in the register in order to kill that person. A notebook kills a person with heart disease if no cause of death is mentioned. When Khanya receives a letter, she does not behave as one might expect at an exhibition intended to entertain. Instead of completely avoiding the letter or opening it and trying to do so immediately out of curiosity and doubt, he behaves with caution and discretion from the beginning. Eventually he decides to kill the criminal whose life no one else cared about. This quickly accelerates the creation of the Light's god complex, in which he believes he can cleanse the world of evil by killing criminals.

L, an inhuman and intelligent detective, finds a strange death knell for criminals who die of heart disease and faces charges. The game plays like a clever cat with a mouse chasing between light and L, and the role of the cat and mouse is constantly changing depending on who it represents. While many viewers view the program and see the light as “bad” and L as “good”, it is not, at least not that simple.


Art & Visuals

Simply put, Death Note looks absolutely amazing in most areas. The character designs ditch the typical anime style and look more realistic, with heavy emphasis on the facial expressions of characters. This not only does seeing character reactions to certain situations make the manga more interesting but these reactions also tell us just how serious one of these situations actually is, making the story more gripping.

Background wise, the city of Tokyo does sometimes look a little dull and bland which just takes away from the experience. Detail was given to rooms and apartments though, the predominate setting, so at least that makes up for a bland Tokyo. Overall Takeshi Obata has done a stellar job with the artistic side of Death Note.


Final Words

Death Note is amazing on almost every level. The story is intense and just keeps dragging you in, not making you want to stop, unless you have some homework…then do that first. The characters are very relatable to the average everyday person (except Ryuk) and they drive the story along. Artistically, the manga is brilliant and it shows. But not everything is perfect sadly.

Thanks for sharing your review @foxy.pix, this is one of my favorite anime.

If I could give you a suggestion on the post, I would center the images and use some with a higher resolution so that they fit the screen

ya it's a good anime, but I didn't like the ending. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll look into it from next post.
