Comment
My favourite ever series not just of anime but TV in general, Death Note is simply beautiful television. The production is amazing from great animation to brilliant music and wonderful performances in English and Japanese. The characters of Light, L, Ryuk, Misa and so on are all truly iconic and entertaining, with Light Yagami being my favourite ever fictional character (he is a brilliant psychopath) and his rivalry with L being simply incredible. Episodes 25 and 37 stand-out as two of the greatest episodes of any TV show ever, especially episode 37 which releases the brilliantly built-up tension in a wonderful way. Tension is Death Note's speciality; it is brimming with tension and the few moments it lets loose are really quite special. If you want a high-stakes, morally grey battle of geniuses that sees almost every character get emotional broken and subjected to horrific fates, then watch Death Note. And the end of Death Note actually left me speechless.
