# What made me watch it?
###This was my first anime. I had been planning to watch an anime for quite a longtime, and DEATH NOTE had to be my first I just knew. Personally I am a fan of psychological, mystery and crime movies and wanted to see something similar. And the synopsis of death note was quite intriguing too, death related concepts have always took my attention
.
# Plot/Story 9.5/10
###My first anime and I my mind was just blown with the plot and storyline. The story is very well written with great plots and mystery factors inside it. The story itself makes the audience stick to their seats but the mystery factor which was filled in the series altogether was a cherry on the top.
.
# Animation/Design 9/10
###Considering the year it was released it is very superior to its time. The details in the animation and the graphical representation of backgrounds and the visuals were amazing and give you chills sometimes.
###The animation is smooth and not overdone and direction or camera angles were also very good, compared to real reel movies , I will say both are at a par in direction , to be honest never thought an animated series could be at that level
.
#Characters 9/10
###Characters are very well represented straight from the main protagonists and antagonists to the supporting characters; all are very well written and very smoothly presented. Though there were some pieces left of some characters unsolved and not discussed which though makes you confused sometimes, but it can be ignored considering the episode limit of the series
.
#Audio/Soundtrack 7/10
###The background soundtracks are just amazing , makes you feel the emotion of the character very well , and makes you think like them , the amount of work and hard work done with it can be seen (heard to be precise) and there is no doubt about it that the team did a superb job
###The opening soundtrack is also a pleasure to ears and makes you love, though I don’t understand the language but the music itself has made me fall in love with it
.
# Additional Mentions
##Critics:
### At some point the story becomes a little stretchy and feels kind of boring but nevertheless the mystery and unpredictability of the series remains the same.
.
##Deep thoughts:
###DEATH NOTE really makes one think on the more depth facts and meaning of life and death, right and wrong, good and evil. It keeps on asking you the question that are you supporting the right person, and are the persons acts justified. The show touches some not so common thoughts of people but everyday aspects of life like murders, justice, addiction of power, right usage of power, blind love and human rights
