Death Note

FYI: Some people may not like this anime. Just a warning.....

This show is based on a  high schooler named Light Yagami who is the son of a sheriff. He attends this class where he reads passages of the holy bible. When his teacher calls on him to read because he thought Light wasn't paying attention, he reads a paragraph. Sitting back down, he continues to stare out the window. While staring, a dark object falls from the sky and lands on the grassy grounds of the school.

When class is dismissed, Light walks past where the dark object dropped which was behind a bush. He reaches down and picks up the black notebook the reads on the cover Death Note. He quickly stuffs into his backpack to see it later when he gets home.

When he opens it, the first page gives the rules and directions on how to use the book. One of them state that whoever's name you write into the book will die of a heart attack. But the name must be the actual person's name. If you want that person to die a specific way, well then you write the way they will die.

Light was currently watching the news in his bedroom. A criminal was wanted by the name of Otoharada Kurou whom was taking hostages, playing live on television. Grabbing a pen, he writes the name down and starts to count down the time. After 40 seconds, nothing happens and Light begins to laugh and walk away from his desk thinking it's some joke.

Then, right on the tv, live, hostages were running out of the building. "Apparently, the criminal has died of a sudden heart attack!"

Light rushes to the tv and exclaims, " What!?"

After that, Light decides that he'll write down every criminal's name who has done something wrong to make the world a better place to live in. He wanted to become a god. A warning would be that you shouldn't really like pick favorite characters and you'll understand why when you watch this.
