As Death Note begins to build toward its climax, it grows increasingly complex. The elaborate game of cat and mouse between Light Yagami and the detective known as "L" comes to an unexpected conclusion. Light even finds a way to use Rem, the Shinigami of Misa's notebook, as a pawn in his monomaniacal schemes. When the story begins to feel played out, the filmmakers introduce new subplots. One involves two orphan boys who complete at solving intellectual puzzles. Near, who has L's haunted eyes, toys with his shaggy hair and builds elaborate structures out of matches and dice; the more emotional Mello shares L's addiction to sweets. Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods, another Shinigami complains that his Death Note was taken by Light's ally Ryuk. These late storylines add opportunities for conflict and more elaborate games, but they feel like needless complications in a previously spare drama. (Rated Teen+ Older Teen, suitable for ages 15 and older: grotesque imagery, violence, violence against women, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars A battle of minds, February 18, 2008

By	shrekless (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I really enjoy this series. What would you do if you had the power to kill people just by picturing them in your head and then writing their name in a notebook? Would you do it, even if it meant eternal damnation? This is the power given to a high school student who uses it to "create an ideal world". But the laws of man cannot be ignore. A police force stumped calls in the greatest detective of their time, a man known simply as "L". "L" has never failed to solve a case, but can he catch a killer who never has contact with his victims. Can a high school student continue to kill without leaving any evidence? Watch and find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Intense, Depressing, and You'll Love Every Minute Of It!, January 31, 2008

By	Arthur Liang (Beloit, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Death Note - Vol. 3 (DVD)

This is where the show starts to get even more interesting. We find the character Light continuing to play the role of "god of the new world," ending the lives of the people he deems evil and unworthy of life. Light continues to write names in the Death Note, with the genius detective L hot on his trail. Light stays sharp so that he can eliminate L, keep his grades up, and keep Ryuk from going into withdrawal by feeding him apples. The show begins to start getting much more interesting in Volume 3 with Light entering college and L begins to keep an even closer watch on Light. More importantly, the revelation of another Death God coming to Earth with a second Death Note. The Death God not only gives the second Kira a Death Note, but they also provide a nice pair of Shinigami eyes to the owner allowing them to see everyone's name and lifespan by just looking at their face. What will this mean for Light?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to practice listening to Japanese, December 24, 2008

By	Milamber - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Note, Vol. 6 (DVD)

The series is great and a good way to practice listening comprehension with Japanese as well as be entertained. It is a dark series, but for those that like murder mystery, suspense, and horror, it is a great watch.
