As someone who has trash media literacy, I feel like I have no right to rate any episodes, but I'll do it anyway.It was enjoyable, and everything clicks into place. Nothing feels sudden, and it was actually a good intro as a pilot (first episode).I don't wanna sound like a critic, given I have trash memory and media literacy as mentioned earlier, but enjoyment basis is 5 star. I don't think we have to judge the quality constantly if it made us laugh.(Slight spoilers)It shows that even the most emotionally stable, pampered person can fall into the darkness when shined by the wrong light. The anti-hero (Light) didn't have to be depressed for any of this to happen, neither did he have unecessary trauma to rationalize his actions. It started out with the shinigami's (Ryuk) boredom, and Light's initially harmless curiosity.It's just someone doing what he thinks is right, reflecting average human behavior when making decisions. The irony, however, is the fact he's a 'model student', yet he somehow overlooked the consequences of every life he took.That's all I can say for now, I might edit this later on. (Planning to rate every episode, I'm already on EP33 and pretty much forgot most of the events.)
