Light Yagami, the main character, is a brilliant high school student
who's angry at all the injustice in the world. One day, he finds the
notebook and he tries it out. At first, he's not sure about if what he
did is correct but he ends up loving the power he got and trying to use
it to build a new and better world. He's nicknamed as Kira by the
citizens. Of course that would simply be boring if it wasn't for L, a
detective that tries to discover Kira's identity. Both of them are
simply genius and their counter clock run to find out each other's
identity is full of intelligent moves and suspense which kept me trying
to guess what each one of them would do next. Really, the simple ingredient that's so great about this story is that
it manages to keep you thinking. But at several levels. Let me explain
that to you. First, it makes you think about if what Light's doing is right or wrong.
"Is it right to be the judge and executer simultaneously?" "Don't the
circumstances of each crime matter as well and is it right to judge
without knowing all the facts?" "Can't the criminals be reformed?" "Is a
world where people don't commit crimes because they're simply afraid
really desirable? Isn't what Light aims to achieve theoretically similar
to a dictatorship?" Those are questions that ran through my mind. At
one point, I was totally rooting for him. But as the story develops and
his actions begin to change, you'll start to wonder. Second, it makes you think about what's going to happen next. Trying to
follow Light's and L's line of though is both challenging and
entertaining. Their move will surprise you and you'll keep trying to
guess what they're gonna do next. This show will keep you on the edge of
your sit through its entirety. Third, it changes the way you see the world and the people in it. With
each kill and each action Light takes you can't help but wonder: "It may
be wrong but what would I do if I were in his place?". People change,
situations make us change. I recommend this to anyone. Whatever
genre of anime you like, you should watch this. It is a really
intelligent story and even though you may not love it as much as I did,
the chances are, you will. Even for people who never enjoyed anime, I
would still recommend it. In fact, I am now in the process of making
Portuguese subtitles so I can get my mom to watch it. Death Note defies
your morals and enables deep discussions with yourself and others. It
truly is a masterpiece.
