"Death Note" ist eine japanische Manga-Serie von Tsugumi Ohba und Takeshi Obata, die auch als Anime-Serie adaptiert wurde. Die Serie handelt von Light Yagami, einem intelligenten und idealistischen Schüler, der ein Notizbuch findet, das die Macht hat, Menschen zu töten, wenn ihr Name hineingeschrieben wird. Light, der sich selbst als "Kira" bezeichnet, beginnt, das Notizbuch zu verwenden, um Verbrecher zu töten, in der Hoffnung, eine utopische Gesellschaft ohne Kriminalität zu schaffen. Er wird jedoch von einem cleveren Detektiv namens L verfolgt, der entschlossen ist, Kiras wahre Identität zu entdecken.

"Death Note" is a popular Japanese manga and anime series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The series has gained a massive following worldwide for its unique blend of psychological thriller, mystery, and supernatural elements. The German dubbed version of the anime, titled "Death Note alle Folgen 1-37 German Deutsch," has been widely popular among German-speaking audiences.

However, his actions attract the attention of a brilliant detective known as L, who is determined to uncover Light's identity and put an end to his killing spree. The cat-and-mouse game between Light and L forms the core of the series, with Light adopting the alias "Kira" to conceal his identity.

Death Note is considered a gateway anime for the German audience. The dub script, written by Björn Schalla (who also voices L), is notable for maintaining the dark, philosophical tone of the original while adapting Japanese cultural concepts for a German audience. The series remains a staple at German anime conventions (Connichi, Hanami) and in pop culture discussions regarding morality and justice.
