Death Note Review
By Sam LeMay | Observer Contributor
Death Note is an anime that toys with the audience’s perception of justice and judgment. The main character, Light Yagami, also known as Kira, blurs the line between protagonist and antagonist. He introduces a twisted sense of curiosity as he explores his vision for a new world.
The 37-episode anime debuted in 2007, directed by Tetsurō Araki (“Attack on Titan”) and adapted from Tsugumi Ohba’s successful manga series by the same name. Death Note has also been adapted into a light novel series, several live action films and series, a video game, and a musical.
