The story is amazing, I love how it's posed as 'the perfect crime' and I love the main protagonist's development throughout the series. When you watch the first episode, you don't know what to expect, But once Light is given the Death Note and meets Ryuk things start to get interesting. The story is great, there are tons of twists and turns especially a twist almost EVERY EPISODE.
But the only thing I can complain about the story is the 'Yotsuba arc' and the ending.
Art:
The art style is phenomenal, the characters are drawn to meet the standards of what they should look like. (Ex. Light is a honor student, and the artist knew what to draw from there.)
I especially love the design of L, He looks weird, but he looked pretty intelligent and determined to solve any case no matter how tough.
Misa's design is just adorable and I love her outfits...i wish I had them.
Sound:
The soundtrack is fantastic and it really has great music to listen to if you are working on homework or focusing on work. The openings are catchy and great to listen to, and the closings make you want to continue watching to see what happens.
The characters:
The characters are fantastic, I love the development of Light Yagami. He is posed as the perfect young man who was driven to insanity by abuse of power. L has got to be my all-time FAVORITE anime character. He's unique, quirky, and intelligent. But the only character I can complain about is Misa Amane. She by far has to be the most annoying anime character EVER!...need I say more?
Enjoyment:
I found the series clever and very interesting.
Each episode and moment with the characters drew me into the series and made me fall in love with it.
Overall:
If you are one for an anime that is clever, full of interesting characters, and a smooth plot. I give it a high recommendation and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.
