The typical anime protagonist, a high school student, finds a "death note" notebook just lying around.

| The fact that bro got caught even though death note is a unlimited remote killing method that leaves no traces is proof of his lack of intelligence |
With the help of a "shinigami" or god of Death (one of many, anyway) that becomes apparent after collecting the magical item the protagonist starts the heroic quest of te-establishing World Order through bloodshed and systematic executions, suspiciously similar to the XX century "socialist" tyrants.
Allegedly Light Yagami, (that's his name) is blessed with extraordinary intelligence, and so it's the other high school student that's taken the task of stopping him, L. Guess the police department was shortstaffed.
The show is competing for who had the biggest dick but with IQ. They flaunt these absurd anecdotes "Oh, yes I'm so smart that I had stock options at the age of eight while still in the orphanage, my IQ is over 300" "Oh yeah? Well, I'm so manipulative that the letters I sent to Hitler made him commit suicide!" "I can defeat Kasparov and three other chess world champions... Simultaneously", and so on.
Of course, neither of them is so bright. Except for the circumstantial ability to predict the future, they're crafty at best. At first, it was funny but this antagonism between these two gets more and more ridiculous as the series goes on this is one of those series that starts great and gets worse and worse with each episode, and the ending of the series was without a doubt one of the worst endings I've seen. If it was a regular TV show, it would have scored a four at best, but it's true that among the Anime series Death Note is an above-average exponent in terms of character development and pacing. 6/10
