Story:
The story is alright, you will not get bored because of this, because every episode will be mind bugling. Every strategy both geniuses take took a lot of time for any normal person to come up with, and they just do it like it took them 5 minutes.
Animation:
Pretty good actually, not perfect but that's just my opinion (Animation is NEVER perfect). But you still know exactly what's going on if you look, it's not that you don't know what's going on and who is shooting who for instance.
Sound:
The background music is somewhat creepy, and it should! You're in a thriller and not in a comedy. The background music fits really good with the tension thats building up.
Characters:
The characters, well you basically have L and Kira, both are aliases for those 2 geniuses. The characters all have a background story why they became the ones they did.
Enjoyment:
Every strategy they make, every plan they scheme and every path they walk will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Overall:
This has got to be, one of the best anime's I saw in a long while. Death Note I recommend to anybody to watch. After the second episode you won't regret it!
