Death’s Notes and Thoughts

Based on a series of light novels written by Tanaka Yoshiki and illustrated by Kakinouchi Narumi. The story revolves around Ryouko Yakushiji, a 27-year-old multilingual investigator that graduated from Tokyo University’s elite Department of Law, and the bizarre cases she faces while working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. Yakushiji not only has to deal with supernatural beings in her line of work, but also her rival Yukiko Muromachi, another equally talented and beautiful police investigator. (from anidb) I really enjoyed this one, it’s long ago since i last had such a good detective anime. Also enjoyable was that little touch supernatural they added to it, it gave this anime the spice. Also the Characters was quite colorful and had a good presence. They’re have all their own identity, and some… personalitly i would say. While Ryoko is more a wild, powerful and straight forward woman (i mean it wordwise, straight forward!), is Izumida more the her counterpart. He is more cautious, and not as reckless as Ryoko, still he can be straight if the situation calls for it. Another intresting pair in this series was the maids of Ryoko which not only played a side role, they 2 french maids (yea, frenchy, Ryoko speaks french with them^^) but not only that, they’re also experts in weapons and various other things (dont wanna spoiler further^^). There are more characters but i keep it at this to not kill the fun of watching it for oneself. The scenarios are intresting, some feels like “i saw similar” but also u got some innovative stuff. Also some stuff u knew from earlier gets reused later, which give the individual episodes a good relation to each other. All together an enjoyable, action filled detective anime.

(if i dont forget it i add later a trailer here, youtube fails on that topic… not even an op/ed to be found…)
