DEATH NOTE APPRECIATION POST

Hi :)
 There have been a while since the last time I wrote about anime, right?
Today I'll talk about a well known anime called Death Note. It's about a guy called Yagami Light (people sometimes write "Yagami Raito" because of the Japanese pronunciation) who is one of the smartest people on Japan and he thinks the world is boring and rotten. One day he find a notebook with written instructions: 

1) The human whose name is written in this notebook will die.
2) 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.
3) If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
4) If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
5) After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

And he actually tries to kill people he thinks don't deserve to live. He encounters the Death Note's previous owner, a shinigami (Death God) called Ryuk and explains his plan of exterminating all the criminals in the world. Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and the world-famous detective, "L", who quickly learns that the serial killer,  known as "Kira" (キラ, derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "killer"), is in Japan and can kill people without touching them.
 And then L wants to catch Light and Light wants to catch L.  
And Light is as intelligent as L, which makes everything more exciting  º3º

(This is kinda like L's logo, since he can't/doesn't want to show his face)

You can read it here and watch it (English dubbed or subbed) here.

That's it :)
Bye
