The public are clueless-until, six months later, a strange video makes its way onto the internet. The government is shattered by their inability to act, and the police are left frantically searching for ways to crack down the perpetrators. It is not as complex and thrilling as DN, although it looks much better and doesn't have a shitty second half like DN had.Painted in red, the word "VON" is all that is left behind after a terrorist attack on a nuclear facility in Japan. If you are expecting Death Note 2.0, you are going to be disappointed. Overall, this is a high quality anime, but lacks in a few areas which holds it back from greatness. There aren't really any characters apart from Five who are actually that interesting. In fact, most characters are pretty standard. When learning about her home-life, I thought we would get a 3 dimensional character, not a snivelling weakling who ends up causing trouble for everyone. Also, Lisa Mishima as a character is mostly predictable and even annoying throughout the series. The plot was rushed and REALLY could have done with at least 25ish episodes rather than the meager 11 we got. This series started amazingly and had me hooked, but as the episodes went on I found myself watching out of habit rather than eager anticipation. It features terrorism, a topic not usually explored in this medium and it is refreshing to find it so well done. Far from shonen anime, this is deeply rooted in reality and the present day. On that front this show is perfect Story-wise this is also very strong.
It's so vivid and beyond anything I have seen before. From the opening minutes the thing that struck me most was the art. Knowing then that my initial interest was well founded, I began to watch.
I googled the show and then saw it was directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (of Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop). When I saw the poster advertising this show on the internet I was immediately intrigued.
