Harem animes are about as common place as action flicks in America, hence I am not usually enthused by the genre personally. However, I did get some laughs out of this one.
If you can't already tell by the synopsis, this a story that finds humor in irony. The story itself is nothing special, but the characters were what made this more enjoyable. Characters that were seemly opposite in actions vs feeling, pairings, and find enjoyment in gloomy situations.

However, Death Note is a far cry from Monster as far as testing the edges of morality.
(Spoiler) Once L dies the good tension that was created died, and therefore the whole anime died at that point. There was no point in watching any further. |
