Death Note is a simple show, but man I just love the weird magical realism of it. Their understanding of humanity and science is completely shattered by this notebook and the shinigami, but they have no choice but to go back to work and review documents and the standard detective work.
It’s like Metamorphosis, but instead of turning into a cockroach, you turn into a serial killer with godly powers figuring out how to not get fired at work the next day because being late makes you look suspicious to this weird emo guy.
