So recently I've been seeing a lot of people talk a bout this anime Death Note and so I though well hey maybe I need to check this out since I've been hearing about it a lot...so I just started to watch it yesterday and....I cant believe I haven't heard of this anime sooner!! Its just so different than what I'm used to watching and its just so detailed and thought out and its just plain awesome!! So I decided I would post something about the Anime if there is anyone that has not heard about it...
Light Yagami is an intelligent young adult who resents crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers the Death Note, a notebook that contains five written instructions:
- The human whose name is written in this notebook will die.
- This notebook will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
- If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
- After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
There are many other rules that are revealed as the story develops, usually in the form of sequence breaks in between scenes. After several experiments with the Death Note, Light realises the notebook's authenticity and encounters the previous owner, a
shinigami called Ryuk. Light explains to Ryuk his plan of exterminating all the criminals in the world, until there are only people who he has judged to be honest and kind. Once he finishes this, he will begin his reign as the god of this new world.
