Epics have 6 main characteristics:

1. The hero is of imposing stature, of national or international importance, and of great historical or legendary significance.
2. The setting is vast, covering many nations, the world, or the universe.
3. The action consists of deeds of great valor or requiring superhuman courage.
4. Supernatural forces—gods, angels, demons—interest themselves in the action.
5. A style of sustained elevation is used.
6. The poet retains a measure of objectivity.
Death Note is amazing i just finished watching it and would not even call it an anime. I think it is a modern epic, i would compare it to the illad and Oddesy would you?

  1. I haven’t seen Death Note, but does it also have a formidable antagonist? He needn’t be the personification of evil–not necessarily Darth Vader or Voldemort–but he should be a worthy opponent. And does Death Note climax in single combat between the hero and this antagonist (with the hero winning)? If it has these features in addition to the others you mentioned, I would agree that it’s an epic.
