I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I didn't mind the 2nd part of this series. I know the 1st part was definitely the better of the two but the 2nd was also very good. In the end they could have done without the 2nd part, but by no means was it bad. I actually enjoyed it nonetheless, overall better than most anime series that I've seen.
...
Putting that aside the overall story is unique and enjoyable. If you like stories of geniuses competing head to head in a battle of wits you'll love the crap out of this. It makes you think and it jumps out and surprises you again and again, if you are one of the people that figures out one of Light's many plans before it is revealed, you are one of the few and you will feel like a genius as well. That being said the replay value on this is shot down to a solid medium.
Character development is one of the best of any anime I've seen. There's not much to say about sound, it fits. The openings and closings are good too, but the 2nd one is a little much even though it kind of fits. The art is fine especially for it's time but nothing special. I will say this though. These are the tallest anime characters of any anime I've ever seen!
Enjoyment 10/10, you will not find many anime that will fit the 10/10 category in my books for this. It's one of those shows that will have you intrigued until the end. Even the 2nd part not being as good as the first will have you wanting more. Don't let the fact that the 1st part was a little better discourage you from enjoying the 2nd part as well. That being said you can just as easily stop watching in the middle because the 2 halves are split into almost completely different stories.
Overall: 9/10
