Death Note (ongoing)

Overview
one word: brilliant :D

Summary
Yagami Light is in the last year of high school. He gets the highest grades and is the perfect student. But he feels living in a rut, on television the news always tells about criminals who are murdering, raping and stealing and this happens every day again, everywhere. The world seems rotten. But at the same time, somewhere in the death god realm, Ryuk (a death god) feels the same. The realm is bored and meaningless, they have nothing to do and they only sleep and gamble. So Ryuk decides to do something amusing, he drops his death note in the human world. Light happens to pick it up and he discovers that it no ordinary note, if he writes the name of a person in the note, that person will die.

Animation
Everything is dark, not like it's night, but like there's evil lurking in normal day life. I like that a lot about this show, because it fits so good with the story. The thing that surprised me with this 'dark' stuff is that there is usually a lot of fighting and/or blood coming with this style, like Hellsing. But in Death note is almost no fighting, and although there are a lot of people killed, there is hardly any blood. But I still feel the tension at certain points very strong, just as strong as with fights in other anime, but here the characters can 'simply' be walking across the street. spoiler: I'm talking about episode 7, I could really feel some sort of battle going on in Light's head, trying to kill Misora Naomi. Here is the screenshot of when Light finishes her off in cold blood. The moment itself was very tense, but the screenshot doesn't look exciting at all. What I also really like about the animation is that when Light or L. become tense, especially when they confront each other in some sort of way, their hair suddenly gets coloured. It is pretty cool to see red and blue hair light up suddenly when they feeeel the confrontation. I made a little gif-animation from Light when he turns from his dark inner self to his innocent outer self (and back).
