    Perfect 10/10 anime. Everything about it is great. The music, the characters, the animation, and story are some of the best in all of fiction. The plot twists are great, the inner monologues are great, and the suspense is immaculate. Even both intros are great. This also gave us one of the best anime music scores in history, the L no instrumental. Also the way they handle genius characters is perfect. Many shows have the problem where the writers write characters smarter than them and don’t know how to write that, but every single decision made by all of the genius characters such as L, light, mello, and near are perfect. They never make out of character decisions and they are also very consistent on their intelligence. Last thing, I love how they didn’t fully explain tye mythology in the show. We know there is apparently a heaven and hell and we also know there are gods of death that have a king, but beyond that it is left up to interpretation. To put it in simple terms, it’s really good.

    Pretty good. Watching this when I was younger and in high school, was blown away at the time. Rewatching it as an adult you notice things got slow at times, but for good reason. Enough twists and turns to keep you engaged. Building the story and explaining the rules of the note in the moment made for a good show. Will likely rewatch again when I forget enough of the story to make it exciting again.

    This sereis is a Psychological workout. There was a point when I lost track of informations and rules of Death Note. I had to rewatch it and understand what's going on. I can't believe it's a 2006 series. It was made so futuristic that in 2025 it feels relatable. My perspective towards world has been modified by this series. I absolutely reccomend this series.

    my re-introduction to anime post dragon ball, naruto, pokemon, yu gi oh, beyblade, kitrestsu, perman, ninja hattori, shinchan, doraemon , gon imagine watching those, and then watching this, absolute mind blow, in my position no one can give this anything lower, the second part of the show gets a lot of flak, but imho, it aint that bad if you give it a chance

  • jeremy saltosOctober 21, 2025
    I don't want to say "its a masterpiece" because it's not. however, it is one of the few animes that if you want someone to get into anime, THIS IS IT! Soo popular in the anime world and soo good
  • MacBobby ChibuzorAugust 19, 2025
    The anime became a terrible mess of a filler just after the first 10-13 episodes.
