Wow and it gets better... granted i was a lil sketchy on the whole idea that the fake L's real name wasn't "L" and he still died after getting his "not name" written in the notebook.
Regardless, second episode in and I'm captivated. Hoping it will continue to live up to all it's hype

Obviously a nice anime... Liked the animation... and the VA's totally fit the characters.... It's surprising how the atmosphere the manga has, the anime manages to retain it and get it better with all that dark atmosphere it shows the whole long episode.... L's cool for sure hahaha An Ryuk will have fun for a long while hahaha

WOAH!!! that trick with Lind L. Tailor was really good!!! L's really smart!! and the fake "worldwide broadcast but just a regional broadcast" was really smart too!!! it really narrowed L's hunting ground to just the kanto region instead of the whole of japan!! WOAH!!! looks like the start of something.. :D

So far so good, this series is living up to it's reputation. L seems like a great counter point to Light.

It's easy to notice how well this series' pacing is. This episode went by in a flash and I loved every second of it. The atmosphere is great, and it's a pretty smart show. L and Light are superb characters.

Did anyone else love that "I am Justice" part at the end? It just goes to show how gray the morality in this is. Both Light and L have good intentions (well, Light comes off as a bit of a crazy) and now I'm not quite sure who to root for.

...And now I'm off to watch the rest, as well as read the manga.

Would that blow his cover or would it! L would notice the change, and start to trace any moves of people.

Awesome anime, by the way. The first episode made me want more. The second told me I'd be watching the entire series.

If Light only decided he'd kill him off with a bullet he'd be completely safe.

I hadn't even thought of that but you are right. He could have had him die via someone in the room and he would be pretty much in the clear.

Anyway, just started this today and I'm hooked. I watched the live action movies before the series and loved them so I figured that the anime can only be better.

It is completely rediculous how far gone Light is in only the second episode. He goes from only killing the corrupt to trying to kill off L (who we can only assume at this point is a "good guy" not a criminal) without a second thought.

I think I am having a hard time accepting Light's character, and it is keeping me from entirely enjoying this. Something about it seems off. Or maybe I'm just not crazy enough to relate to him.

I don't think it's all that crazy for people to go crazy or whatever when they have THAT much power, even in a short amount of time. Plus, I've always figured a (unspecified) amount of time has occurred during that sequence.

Yeah, I think after the first episode I just figured that they would focus more on the decline of Light's morals, maybe making the first death of a non-criminal a big thing. Though L claims that the guy that Light thought was L was still a criminal (but he didn't know it at the time!).

Yeah, this episode definitely made me want to see more - L is already favorite character of mine and he made just a single move... Kira is so doomed... But I guess that's what you get for being such an arrogant bastard, think that you'll create a world where no one should stand against you...

Wow, great episode, This is the only manga I have read, and it does improve the quality of the show imo, at least through my eyes.

Although the voice of Light/Kira was different in my head, great, great episode

Haha, that was hilarious. I can't believe Light fell into so many traps already! Not to say that it was his fault but that was pretty impressive.
