Death note is an anime and a manga about Yagami Light who one day finds a Death Note which belonged to a shinigami (or a God of Death) who accidentally dropped it. Eventually he finds out its secret: The human whose name is written in this note shall die. He starts of using it to get rid of bad people such as criminals but soon gets out of control and the deaths he caused become world known. Soon he has to hide from private investigators, police and others to survive as things get more and more complicated. It is without question one of the best and most popular anime/mangas out there and worth checking out.

Parents need to know that this mature Adult Swim anime series isn't intended for kids. It revolves around a high school student who becomes a serial killer. Since his victims are all criminals, he justifies the murders as a way of creating a crime-free world. Most of the deaths aren't too graphic, but they're frequent. The frightening appearance of a Japanese death god adds to the show's dark psychological nature.death note is simply fantastic. Although the story follows Light, the high school senior who finds the death note, it never exactly promotes his behavior as "good". Also, L (the other main character who many fans find more lovable although stranger) highly opposes Light's ideals and strives to catch him before there's any more killings. So, it's not as if everyone's supporting the serial killer. Death Note is not exactly a classic battle of good vs. evil, but that's why it's so wonderfully unique and interesting
