Welcome to my new Hive blog
Hello to all anime lovers. Today I explained the most famous and popular anime series named Death Note.
Death Note
is, I must say, one of the most popular, famous, and talked-about anime series of all time and one of my favorite anime series. It mixes mystery, suspense, thriller, crime, fiction, and moral questions into a story that keeps you thinking even after it ends, and how they finished is just amazing to watch.
The story shows a brilliant high school student named Light Yagami. He finds a random notebook called the "Death Note." The specialty of this notebook is that this notebook gives him the power to kill anyone just by writing their name in it—as long as he knows their face. The notebook originally belonged to a Shinigami (death god) named Ryuk. Unfortunately, Ryuk dropped it into the human world out of boredom.
At first we saw Light Yagami think he could use the Death Note for good and for human welfare. He wants to build and also create a "perfect world" without criminals—a world where he wants to become a god of justice. But as far as the story goes on, Light's actions become more dangerous and twisted day by day. He also slowly turns a smart student into a dangerous, cold, and famous killer.
On the other side we saw a detective, his name is L, a world-famous detective who is intelligent like Light. In anime, we understand that L is the only person who might be able to catch him. What follows is a psychological battle between two geniuses.
Let's share what makes Death Note so interesting.
One of the interesting things about Death Note is the way it makes you think. It’s not just about who lives or dies—it’s about why one lives. Does the anime show Light doing the right thing by killing criminals? Or is he just a murderer with a god complex? The show doesn’t give simple answers; the complexity of the story makes the movie more interesting, and that’s what makes it so powerful.
The cold war between Light and L is also extremely well done. Both characters are smart and always trying to dominate each other. Their interactions are full of mystery and surprise, thrill, and especially in the first half of the series. Many fans think this is where the anime is at its best, but in my opinion, the whole anime series is just amazing to watch.
Animation and background Music
The animation of this anime series, which is done by Madhouse,. This describe the plot of the story perfectly and the characters. The character builds are sharp, and the use of shadows and lighting which includes to the suspense. This studio published this anime in 2006, but their making it look so advanced. The opening and ending songs are intense and memorable, especially the first opening, “The World” by Nightmare. The theme song of this anime gives goosebumps.
Characters and performances of the characters
Light is a fascinating main character. You watch him cover time, and the anime shows how a good student with strong beliefs becomes someone willing to do anything to win. L is famous for his strange behavior and quiet voice, is a great rival and fan favorite, and is especially one of my favorite characters of all the anime series. There are also supporting characters; for example, Misa, N, and Mello bring different plots into the story and keep things interesting.
Final Thoughts and My Opinion
After watching the series, I must say that Death Note is not just a thriller, but it’s also a series that shows deep questions about justice, power, and morality. It's a good anime for people who want more than just action or romance, like me, who love crime thrillers and fiction. If you're a beginner in anime, Death Note is a strong starting point because of its exciting story and deep characters in the first part of the anime.
From my point of view, the second half (after a major turning point in the middle) is not as strong as the beginning because at the beginning the story of anime is just mysterious and wonderful starting. But overall, I must say that Death Note is a must-watch anime that has earned the best place among anime series.
That's all for today.
