Story:
Very unique. I have never run across anything like it before nor after. This series has an intelligent feel to it, and always keeps you on your toes. However, the second half of the series became a little redundant, or rather- predictive in a sense.
Art:
The art is magnificent. Not the most beautiful, frilly art per se- though definitely talented. Eye-candy indeed. This series uses different angles and view-points very well, and the entire time I watched, I was constantly impressed by how the artists chose to place things on the screen.
Sound:
I was impressed with once again the

first half more than the second of the story. The ending song is lovely, and is a great match to the series. Decent sound-effects, and good timing made it an B+.
Character:
Yagami Light (main) is a very interesting fellow, and I found constantly compelled to be on his side. I will not spoil anything, but he definitely grows and changes throughout the show and in the end is someone entirely different than who he used to be, though in a completely natural way. You can see the patterns that lead to his final being. The other characters are generally interesting as well, and it is nice to be able to watch some of them develop. Although, the second half of the story it seemed the new characters introduced were mainly made to shock the audience, and lacked the depth that a few of the first-half characters held that made you want to really know them.
Enjoyment:
An enveloping series. It draws you in immediately, and keeps you firmly seated to the finish. Although towards the end the series began to just make me feel dirty, and not in the good way.
