Death Note is a widely popular anime and manga series. The story center's around a high school student in Japan named Light Yagami. Light is an incredibly smart and hansom young man. But he's bored. He's bored and a god of death named Ryuk is also bored. When Ryuk drops his Death Note down to earth where Light Yagami picks it up the world and the way we think of Death Note will change forever. A Death Note is a little note book that gives the owner the ability to kill anyone just by writing down their name in the book. What makes this anime/manga series so intriguing is Lights character. He justifies killing people. He knows its bad to kill, but what if you're just killing the bad guys? But then how do you know who's really bad? Light is our main character so we want to be on his side, we want to sympathies for him and vote for him, but is he really the one we should be routing for?One of the other character's in this series is L. L will easily become your favorite character in any anime/manga series. He weird and odd, he's funny and smart and you know nothing about him! He is the detective hired to track down the killer that has been killing every bad person out there.
The manga and the anime are almost exactly the same, the only difference is there's more talking and describing in the manga. Which i must say makes me vote for the anime because even in the anime there's way too much describing. The manga is pretty well done. The art is a little typical for a Japanese manga but there are aspects of it that are completely original. This is the same for the anime. I highly recommend both. The best way to describe this story is by saying its completely original. Its full of twists, humor, and horror. This story will get you thinking and questioning. You will love this story, then hate it, then love again and then finally you will despise it and yourself for loving it.
There were two live action films based off of the anime but those were two of the worst films I've ever seen. There are also video games, Light novels, merchandise and crazy fans, which, trust me, you will become if you decided to delve into the world of Death Note.
