death note

Yagami Raito, a top-ranking high school kid, is spacing out one day at school when he notices a weird notebook lying on the school yard, entitled "death note". It looks like some prank from a sick individual, since it's telling that if you write the name of a certain person in it while having his/her face in ones mind, that person will die, anyway and anytime you like it to happen. Even if it looks like a trick, Raito sees it as a real thing.

His last doubts are gone when one day he finds a hideous monster in his own room: a real god of death, a shinigami called Ryuuku that claims the death note was once his but now acts as a special bond between him and Raito. With the death note, Raito has the power to kill without breaking a sweat and he decides to use his power to protect the innocent and kill all the brutal criminals in this world and to be truly a human god. But then he gets over his first kills and the whole world wakes up and realizes that something is happening and things start to get out of hand...

i watched death note's first episode because my friend digi kept on insisting that i should. he has not yet watched the whole episode but he kept on telling me that the story was cool and the animation was awesome. how he knew that death note's story was good without even watching the first episode, i have no idea.

anyway, i'm getting tired of honey and clover because nothing much happens and i'm getting bored and i'm really not into shojou so i gave death note a try.

so far, i like the animation. i like how the characters look. and the dark/ gothic, witch hunter robin like vibe is cool. i checked out the manga and the artwork is even better.

the plot is not new at all: a boy who wants to rid the earth of all evil but whose means is morally questionable. the end justifies the means type. we saw it in yuu yuu hakusho's sensui shinobu already and a number of other anime series. i'm kind curious how the story will develop. since i've only watched the 1st anime episode and read the 1st chapter. i'm eager to know what would make this series different and what other anime reviewers are raving about.

i've been downloading DN's other episodes and manga chapters here in the office since the internet here is faster.hehe. it will be done before the day ends today. i'll be able to watch episode 2 tonight and read the other manga chapters tomorrow. i can't wait!
