Summary:
Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...
Death note can go under the genre horror, thriller, and mystery. Basically a guy with a very high state of consciousness and morality recognizes the shit that is going around this world and his powerlessness to stop it. but one day a shinigami drops his death note, (not by accident of course, just wanted to mess around and have some fun.) However Yamagi Light takes this as a sign of revelation and tries in a desperate attempt to create his ideal utopia, without criminals or any bad people. This anime gets really controversial, "is this guy doing the right thing by killing off criminals?" A fight begins between the holder of the Death Note and the mysterious anonymous detective trying to uncover light's identity and bring him to justice.
