I liked DEATH NOTE so much, I got an IRON MAN poster.It's been a super-long while since I watched an anime that was actually worth remembering. No, I'm not talking about SAILOR MOON. Well then again, I still remember that garbage, so maybe I am.
But I'm really talking about DEATH NOTE, of course. This was originally a manga AKA Japanese comicbook that used to appear in JUMP WEEKLY. It's now available all over for illegal downloading. I'm sure you really want to know who wrote and drew this series. And lemme tell you a secret: it wasn't me.
The manga was eventually translated into an anime series, which was then translated into English and made available on DVD and illegal Torrents. The English-version happens to be one of the very few animes that is actually very well done. (And available on illegal Torrents.)
Synopsis
Light Yagami is a genius highschool kid. One fine day, he comes across a notebook falling from the sky. Picks it up. It's your standard DEATH NOTE, you know, the book that belongs to a Shinigami. Write the name of a person with her / his picture in your mind, and that person is instantly KO'd. I know 10 people who'd love to do that to me.
So Light starts killing off criminals appearing in the news on TV or on the Internet or in the papers. He starts to like it and continues to write criminals' names in his book. This is his form of justice. LOL Light for prez.
Soon the police wisen up and realize that all these deaths cannot be, like, a normal thing to happen. And they call in the greatest detective in the world - the mysterious L - to figure this out and see if there is a serial killer lurking behind the scenes.
The story heats up just in the second episode as Light and L constantly challenge each other to find out who the other person is. This goes on for the first 5 DVDs, until the story completely changes in the next 4 or 5 DVDs.
Score
Great musical score throughout, except for the intro/ending songs for season 2 which are downright horrible. For season 1, the intro/ending songs are simply fantastic.
As for non-musical score, this is the best anime I've ever seen in my life and gets a 10/10. You should watch it yesterday.
Spoiler
YAGAMI spelled backwards. It applied to EYEORI, and it applies just as well to LIGHT.

I read a bunch of the Death Note manga before my old computer went into the shithole (so like 3 years ago) and it was quite good. I'd like to sit down and read the whole series at some point but I have more things to read than you could possibly imagine.
iron man ruled, i saw it again a few nights ago.
i hear you doc. i have like 10gb of crap in a "My Books" folder, and i don't even know what the heck is in there.
p.s. i need to watch IRON MAN for the 6th time real soon.
I only watched like two episodes of Death Note and I liked it. I should read the manga.
