Now if only I could say the same for the characters, in particular, three characters are introduced after Episode 26. (The only real break/ half-recap episode in the series.) Any major character introduced before Episode 26 gets plenty of screen time. But after Episode 26? Of the most important new characters, only one, Near, actually gets to breathe, and show off any of his intellect.
The Music is amazing. L's theme and Light's theme and all variations are a joy to listen to. If the soundtracks were available in NA iTunes, (which they aren't!) instant purchase.
Side Note: The show can lose you partway through the Yostuba Arc. I put the series down for three months after Episode 20. And I kept putting it on hold for a lot of other anime. This is supposed to be the big middle part of the story, and it falls flat, very flat. It's why I'm giving the story an 8 instead of 10.
(Most of the 'A Certain' Franchise, last 7 episodes of Noragami Aragoto, Selector Infected Wixoss, the 1st 6 episodes of Assassination Classroom 2nd Season, the first 29 episodes of Shakugan no Shana, the RE: Cyborg 009 movie, the 1st 14 episodes out of Chuunibiyou's 2 seasons if anyone's wondering.).
