This series has been on Tubi for a while, and my husband and I have been watching it together. It's 37 episodes, and has subtitles, so it took us a little bit to get through it. It's based on a manga.
Light is at school when he finds a notebook. That object will change the course of the rest of his life. Touching it introduces him to Ryuk, a Shinigami, who tells him that writing the name of a person in the notebook will result in that person's death. Now, Light starts to feel the power he holds, and it becomes more and more important for him to fulfill what he sees as his destiny: a world without evil. And he'll eliminate anyone who gets in his way.
I loved this series. Light is in a chess match with someone who matches his skills. The back and forth between these two was so impressive. The constant twists and turns reminded me of Monster. The story is nothing similar; it was the suspense and amount of times I was sitting on the edge of my seat. There were numerous times we had to watch the next episode because of the cliffhanger we were left with.
I'm definitely trying to track down this manga. I don't know how close the series followed the manga, but I'd like to get some clarification on a few things, particularly at the end. I believe my favorite character was the Shinigami Ryuk. He loved his apples! Good Show!
