Well if you're retarded and don't focus on the intelligence of death note you might not like it because there's not a lot of action. However it's just genius. But you're not retard so you'll be fine
I've heard some things about Death Note, and its violence, but I'll try them both nevertheless. They'll both go on my list of animes to watch. That's the great thing about PC, getting exposed to great new animes. =D Can't promise you I'll like them, but I'll give it a shot.
Good enough for one of its characters to take a spot in my theme. =D
But seriously, it's dramatic,(maturely) hilrarious, romantic, and emotional. My new favorite anime. However, Pokemon still holds an important place in my heart.
