Pros:
-Cerebral story written towards a more intelligent audience
-The concept of "the bad guy" being the main character
-making the viewer root for "the bad guy"
-many twists that are fairly hard to predict
-each episode ties in beautifully into the next
-Light is one of the best characters in anime
-'L' is an equal opponent to Light
Cons:
-The pacing of the 3/4 mark of the series isn't as good
-'N' is not nearly as good an antagonist as 'L' was
MY Overall Score: 9.4
