I'm disappointed. Death Note is one of the most famous Anime and I was expecting quality similar to Ghost in the Shell, Hunter X Hunter and other greats. But this isn't even close.

The concept is interesting and grasped my imagination. What would I have done?

Well the characters in the show definitely acted different to what I would have done. It's basically a bunch of high school kids playing god. Easily offended and full of revenge. The goal seems to be winning, instead of being a true godlike character that doesn't care about small things. Just like what you have to expect from young adults.

The original L is the only redeeming character and what kept me watching. I just like quirky but highly intellectual characters like Sherlock Holmes.

Almost all female characters are horribly submissive, while portrait to be smart. That leads into a couple of sexists if not misogynistic jokes, this anime is definitely not from 2020.

Visually and acoustically it's great.
