The themes of the art represents the anime to its whole. The darkness and shade matches and suits the anime perfectly. Many people would agree that the pen animation was very cool to watch and showed Lights deep sense of justice. The also increasingly change of Light's expressions show that he is getting more corrupted until the very end.
The characters of Death Note are the main components to the show. Light, the genius, with his tactical strength along with the Death Note take on the world of destroying criminals using his code name Kira against L who is mysterious but equally smart man that is trying to stop Kira. The use of cleverness throughout the characters make the plot interesting with many tricks that deceive each other and other characters. However Light's strong sense of justice mixes in with corruption that takes over him until the end.
Death Note puts on a great soundtrack that has both characters' themes that match both up perfectly. It provides a good background and brings us to understand the intensity of what is going on in a scene.
I thoroughly enjoy Death Note. The characters were made very interesting and made me choose between which side, Light or L? It was hard to think Light was the antagonist through the story because I enjoyed Light's cunning moments until the very end. Light's corruptness throughout gaining the powers of god also projects the abuse of his power which is one of the morals throughout this story.
