Death Note reviews

Death Note holds a 8.6/10 average from 5,164 TMDB ratings.

My favourite ever series not just of anime but TV in general, Death Note is simply beautiful television. The production is amazing from great animation to brilliant music and wonderful performances in English and Japanese. The characters of Light, L, Ryuk, Misa and so on are all truly iconic and entertaining, with Light Yagami being my favourite ever fictional character (he is a brilliant psychopath) and his rivalry…
— Zak_Jaggs (10/10)

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects—and he’s bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But will Light succeed in his noble goal, or will the Death Note turn him into the very thing he fights against?
