Death Note was one of the first Dark animes i got into. The first half of Death Note was simply amazing. The character development of Light is easily one of the best points in this anime. What differs Death Note is the fact that fighting is limited. Instead of fighting Light and L battle it out with mind games and strategy. But as the series progress and the show introduces new characters, Mainly Near and Mello it really starts to trend downward. In-fact after the death of one of the characters everything starts to seem out of place. In the end Lights character seems to get stupider as the series goes on and does things he would have never done at the start. It seemed as if the show was trying to wrap things up to quick.

If not for the second half of Death Note my overall rating would be much higher. The first half of the series is a solid 10, but with the second half seeming out of place and rushed it brings the series down to a 7.6.
