Synopsis

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?

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
tienvu-66604 A Good Anime TV Series with Violence, no cringe, Deep Drama, and a good telled Story
Smoreni Zmaj I watched first 6 (out of 37) episodes and I'm hooked. Although this type of animation goes on my nerves, it's not as bad as in other anime I encountered so far, and the story is so good that I have to see it through, no matter retarded looks of Shinigami and all the other flaws of the genre. This would be excellent feature thriller, either movie or series. If possible, in Japanese or European production, although I doubt even Hollywood could screw it too much. But, speculation on the side, in this form, I rate it8/10As the series progressed, I was more and more tempted to give it a 9, or even 10, but the last episode was a real disappointment. Someone who has been living a triple life for six years and playing the game at such a high level would not make such an amateur mistake. I knew they will get him eventually, but I was expecting some highly intelligent mindfak, not the outworn cliche of a villain exulting in the face of the enemy before his plan succeeded. Final rating8,5/10
fierfek -Good Start -Meh Middle -Bad Ending-Light is a flat character -Convenient plot devices / plot twists to extend the story -Filler crap to further extend the story -Cringy monologue -Show falls apart and becomes a rinse & repeat after a certain main character is deleted. -Characters on the show are so intelligent but also the dumbest people at the same time. -Ending felt uncharacteristic to the show. Light still had a page so he would have written everyones name down to die at X hour just in case something went wrong with the 'Hand of Kira's' Death Note. Would have left only Near alive. -For the most part, Ryuk & the Shinigami mythos disappear towards the end. -Lights behavior at the end just feels like a slap to the face.
memebigboy-98803 Death Note is one of my favourite anime with deep story, really good pacing, commentary on society, incredible characters, intense story, a view of how power can corrupt, I do have my problems with the anime, I found some of the characters annoying, the ending was little rushed, over all it's a really good anime
