The plot, the caracters, the music, the animation, everything is so connected and well put.
It's also true that in the middle or so, is not that good as it was at first, but the last episode is so mind blowing that it made it worthy.
I remember te first time that I watched the last episode and I was completely in shock. I mean, I know that Light was really messed up and even though his intentions at first were good, the power of the death note turned him into one of the best villains ever.
And that's the funny thing about Death Note; the leading caracter is the antagonist of the story.
Finally, Death Note is a anime that will make you think: Does the end truly justifies the means? (obviously my answer is no)
