Meet Light Yagami, a brilliant but bored high school student whose life is changed when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami, or god of death, named Ryuk. When Light discovers that any human whose name is written in the book dies, he vows to use its power to rid the world of evil. But every action has its consequences, and Light soon finds himself in a life or death battle of wits with the mysterious genius detective called L. Humanity itself becomes the battleground to determine what form of justice will prevail! (official distributor synopsis)

Death Note (2006) 

English [SPOILER] The beginning? Awesome. Light and the "Shimigami" are both fine. What about L? An absolutely perfect character that I instantly liked. Except that Light suddenly started to lose appeal with me, which reached its peak with the death of L. Without him, it was already empty for me. Boring. The end of a series is supposed to build, not fall. But other than that, of course, it's a better 3 stars :-) ()
