Character Sketches #1

Light Yagami

Light Yagami is an excellent student, in other words he is a genius, who one day gets a notebook.The thing is , this ain't any ordinary notebook, it is a notebook of Death.

Light Yagami is the protagonist of the series. He is shown to be quite innocent in the start of the series.His deductive skills are very good, and in many cases, he could predict the whole scenarios that could happen.He hates to lose, a quality which is clearly shown in his face-off with L. Light has a very childish notion of good and bad, which is proved by the great detective L. Initially in the series, he shows sympathy for people, but this is quite a different scenario in the ending episodes of the series. Without L, we wouldn't have been able to see his genius ideas. He is very careful and takes no risks.
He is Kira.  

Death Note

Writer : Tsugumi Ohba

Synopsis: Death Note, an anime based on a notebook of death, is in simple terms , awesome! This is an anime about a boy named Light Yagami , who is a genius, and is bored living his normal life until he encounters an extraordinary notebook.
I was recommended this anime by a good friend and I don’t regret seeing this anime for sure.
This notebook has the power of killing anyone if that person’s name is written in the notebook and the face of that person is known to the writer. Light Yagami, who is aspiring to be a police officer, starts killing criminals secretly using the Death Note. Would Light be able to continue to use this notebook for this noble act, or would his mind slowly corrupt?
This supernatural, thriller series engrosses the mind of the viewer into the world of Light Yagami and literally makes the viewer tighten his grip and fills them with suspense. The best part about this anime is that it delivers a lot of twists in its tale. Throughout the series, the viewers are introduced to new characters.
When things start getting better for the world, they start getting worse for Light, as a brilliant detective called ‘L’ starts investigating these murders. But that doesn’t stop Light.

The characters have been well introduced during this anime. The numerous twists in the plot makes this anime even more interesting. The soundtracks are well timed, and start getting more intense during times of suspense. The pace of the story is quick, which is the perfect quality for a suspense serial. This anime’s only shortcoming is the fact that a lot of characters are killed. This can upset the viewers many-a-times.
If you are an anime lover or simply a person wanting to see some suspense packed serial, then go ahead and watch this anime. You won’t be disappointed!
My rating : 4.5 out of 5 stars
