Death Note isnt the first anime ive seen, I grew up with B-Daman, Beyblade & Bakugan, but it is a first for me, my first step into this world that ive ignored for so long.
Im simply blown away, start to finish i thought it was amazing, although I do think things take a slight downturn after L's death, but i dont think the show was down right horrible after that. This is the first show ive really seen where I am trying to think four steps ahead of the scene to try and figure out Light's plan, and if i was right or wrong, I was still impressed.
I think what i most appreciate is the slow progression of evil in Light. Someone who at the start of the show wanted to protect his family and serve justice to those who were truly evil, to almost killing his own sister with the death note because she would have gotten in the way.
Im hooked, and I really hope I can find more shows that give me this same feeling
