The highly talented student Light Yagami has a bright future ahead. He will finish at the top of his class and wants to use his talent for good, to make the world a better place. But then he finds a notebook called the “Death Note”. The one whose name is written in it dies. Quickly, Light becomes consumed by its power and starts eliminating criminals and offenders one by one in the world. The world soon realizes: Someone is deliberately committing these murders.
But is Light really creating a just world? Or has he suddenly become the villain in his role as judge? And can he escape the police and the detectives who will soon realize that someone is responsible for the sudden deaths of the criminals?
Why is Death Note suitable? Although Death Note may have fallen out of favor as a classic, it is still one of the best anime for beginners. The thrilling “cat and mouse” story between Light and L unfolds its full potential and provides a draw that is hard to resist, particularly through the interesting perspective from the villain’s point of view.
