Death Note (デスノート ,Desu Nōto)

Desu Nōto is a Japanese manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata. The series centers on Light Yagami, a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook, the titular "Death Note", dropped on Earth by a shinigami (death god) named Ryuk. The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose face they have seen, by writing the victim's name in the notebook with a picture of the victim in his mind, since there is the possibility of several people having the same name. The story follows Light's attempt to create and rule a world cleansed of evil using the notebook, and the complex conflict between him and his opponents.

Death Note was first serialized in 108 chapters by Shueisha in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2003 to May 2006. The series was also published in tankōbon (paperback) format in Japan starting in May 2004 and ending in October 2006, and since then has been translated internationally. The series was adapted into live-action films released in Japan on June 17, 2006, on November 3, 2006, and on February 2, 2008. The anime series aired in Japan from October 3, 2006, to June 26, 2007. A novel based on the series, written by Nisio Isin, was released in Japan on August 1, 2006.

Light Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note," lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his keen judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way. A shinigami's Death Note is a notebook that can kill any human whose name is written in it. All Death Notes are governed by the same set of rules determining the extents and limitations of the Notes' powers.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (キラ ?, derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

After several murders, Misa Amane, a possessor of another Death Note, meets Light and tries to help him to do his work but she is captured by L. Light makes a plan involving renouncing ownership of both Death Notes, and all of his memories of them, and turns himself in to L for surveillance. After losing his memories, Light and L start to investigate a criminal group named "Yotsuba" together who had Misa's Death Note. When arresting them, Light recovers all his memories while touching the Death Note, remembers his plan, and forces the former owner of Misa's Death Note, the shinigami Rem, to kill L.

After L's death, Light is granted the position of the "new L." Light is challenged by L's successor, Near, in a battle of minds. Near automatically suspects Light to be Kira and plans different ways of attack. In the meantime, Kira has gained much of public support, and has contacts to help him continue killing criminals. Mello abducts one of these contacts, and Kira kills his own contact. Mello dies in the aftermath, Near is then able to use his SPK members to find Kira's other contact, and create a fake, duplicate Death Note. This is used to trick Kira into "killing" Near and the SPK with a fake death note. Obviously, Near and the SPK remain alive and use Kira's own signed Death Note as evidence to arrest him. In the end, Light is caught by the SPK and killed by Ryuk.

ahh personajul meu preferat este Ryuzaki [L]

cat il ador ... e asa de tare , mai ales L .. asa misterios si asa de inteligent ...

adooor animeul asta! o ador pe misa chiar daca e mai sa numi deie nimeni in cap...cam prostuta....si de el imi plaace! :X

e animeul meu preferat...
...L..ei bine L.... ..pacat ca moare
mie'mi place si Light,si imi place rasul lui malefic
dar raman etern devotata lui L

ermh....originalitatea acestui anime il face sa fie bine pozitionat in topul meu de anime-uri preferate. Cel mai mult am admirat grafica si nu povestea cum spun alti, grafica e pur si simplu geniala, uitativa putin la Lawliet (L) observati cat de original este acest personaj si oricat ati cauta nu mai gasiti unul la fel sau asemanator (desigur daca nu e facut de acelasi artist si are o mica asemanare). De multe ori m-am regasit in felul de a fi a lui Light si am inteles de ce se comporta asa, puterea caietului a fost prea mare pentru el si a inceput sa il domine ^^ oricum e un anime genial personajele sunt foarte bune si cum spuneam mai sus te regasesti bine in felul lor de a fi parca ar fi luate din viata de zi cu zi (cel putin la mine asa e *.*)
Personaje preferate xDD
Light: mi-a placut in special la acest personaj introducerea lui, a fost foarte interesant ca personaj definit prin perfectiune si impresionand mereu prin simpla lui prezenta. este un adevarat geniu atat in viziunea mea cat si in viziunea altor persoane ^.^''
Chiar a regretat ce a facut si asta m-a facut sa raman profund impresionata si sa ii acord locul intai.
Lawliet: un personaj perfect chiar daca prin aspectul grafica nu iti sugereaza mai nimic, nu pare a fi un detectiv genial sau o persoana atat de renumita pentru ca nu impresioneaza prin prezenta lui. Lawliet insa este un personaj aparte foarte bine cracterizat si un personaj original cu elemente foarte interesante.
3.Near:[/b] adevarul e ca am o oarecare slabiciune pentru persoanele care sunt mai copilaroase si pentru lucrurile copilaroase insasi. Near este un persoanj foarte interesant chiar daca la varsta lui se mai joaca inca cu jucarii cred ca este cel mai bun detectiv din lume reusind sa rezolve cazul cu ajutorul lui Mello si a lui Lawliet chiar daca acest ajutor a fost in mod indirect

Lawliet???de ce nu ii spui simplu L
...cred ca ai dreptate...ne/ma regasesc in fiecare personaj...
adevarul e ca si eu asi fi actionat ca si light...numai ca mai scapam si de un profesor sau 2 ...
L este intradevar unic

^ nu ii zic L pentru ca pe un forum am avut probleme cu asta.....mereu ii ziceam L si nimeni nu stia la ce ma refer (am primit o avertizare pentru prescurtare o.o'''''' de fapt un ban pe 7 zile o.o''') asa ca m-am invatat sa ii zic tot numele x.x''''

E unu din animeurile mele preferate :X:X:X:X
L e asa dragut :X:X:X mai ales in filme 8->

e dragut L dar si Light......numai ca se crede prea superior fata de ceilalti.....dar ador si filmu si anime-ul....mai trebuie pe animax sa dea Death Note- L saves the World....parca asa se numeste ultime parte din Death Note....

Al treilea film se numeste L Change the world!
Si eu ador acest anime!!!
Light e asa de dragut!!!!!!
Personajul meu preferat este Misa Misa!
Am vazut toate cele 3 filme si mi-au placut toate doar ca al treilea film este numai despre L si nu are legatura cu Death Note dar e super!!!

deci cat ador eu animeul asta
