Death Note concentrates solely on plot and the pyschological thriller aspect. The plotline was psychologically good. The protagonist turns into an antagonist. A girl is devoted to her feelings rather than killing, and she would die for the one that she loves. Besides that, I think the action is good too.
This was one of a kind, hardy and rare story lines that the main characters bent on changing the world. Hard to find any other animes left involved in strategic and maniuplating situations.
The suspense was very edge-of-your-seat and girl-squeal sort;
The story line was a bit too extended and there were some uninteresting or details in between which made this anime series very long. However, the parts of the thriller made equated for the long explanation and conversation of the characters.
L was neither uninteresting in character nor portrayed as a typical detective. The thought of using L as the same age group as Kira enchances the formidable match of logic and strategy and increases the tension and thrill for the protagonist and antagonist to interact in the series.
None of the characters develop throughout the story though, except for Light.
