Death Note

Death Note is a series based off of the Manga Death Note created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and manga artist Takeshi Obata. In the series a Shinigami named Ryuk dropped his notebook to earth. Once a notebook has entered earth the Shinigami has to stay with the person that posseses the notebook until they die or forfeit ownership of the notebook. Light Yagami the person that originally finds the Death Note and forfeits ownership of the Death Note many times to keep himself from being caught only to have the Death Note end up back in his possession exactly as he had planed. Light Yagami is a very bright senior in high school that after finding the Death Note decides that he will use the Death Note to rid the world of evil by killing all criminals and rule as god of the new world he creates, which earns him the nickname of Kira. But shortly after he starts killing criminals the worlds most famous detective is closing in on his identity and puts Light down as a possible suspect in the Kira investigation. As people get closer to figuring out that he is Kira Light must kill the people investigating him. Then as L is suspecting Light as being Kira more an more a second Kira appears. The second Kira is a girl named Misa Amane who is a famous model, and is wiling to do anything for Light. Light and L play a game of cat and mouse for a while but Light wins and becomes L. Many years after his death L's successors Near and Mello begin an investigation to figure out Kira's true identity. In the end it took the combined effort of L, N, and Mellow to outsmart Light and convict him of being Kira. In the end Ryuk kept his promise of being the one to write Lights name in his death note and killed Light. I think this anime is a great anime to watch because it has a great storyline behind it with plenty of episodes so everything is not compacted into a short 12 episode run like many other anime's. I also like this anime because it has plenty of suspense and intense scenes that keep you watching just to see who wins and who loses, the loser being the person who dies.
