Death Note is a paranormal anime that aired on Nippon Television.
Shinigami are death gods who observe the human world from above, writing the names of those who should die in their notebooks. When a tricky shinigami by the name of Ryuk decides the shinigami world is too boring, he throws his notebook into the human world, where it is found by a teenager named Light Yagami. After verifying that the book does in fact, kill those whose names are written on its pages, Light sets out on a mission—to rid the world of evildoers by killing them all!
Soon it becomes apparent to the police that someone is targeting criminals for death, so to deal with such an extraordinary case, the world's best detective is called in—L, an eccentric, reclusive shut-in. Thus begins a game of cat-and-mouse between two equally brilliant minds, both with the righteous belief that they are justice.
