Death Note is one of the absolute best thriller/suspense anime I have watched to date.
The story is so well written that you will never be able to stay a step ahead which is often possible in less thought out plots, and as you think you know what the next move will be, it will take you somewhere completely different and keep you on the edge of your seat.
As for the characters the only thing I can say is that they truly are amazingly balanced and so, oh so intriguing.
It is not everyday you find an anime where you honestly do not know if you are on the good or the bad side right up until the very end.
In my opinion a great anime that needs to be given a shot by everyone!
