_To tackle the story first. This is by far the main point that boosts this series up. Some of the greatest animes like bleach, naruto, one piece... (not just personal, but judged by many) have earned their current status while having many elements if not most, taken from different animes or shows. And despite that they are great! Imagine Deathnote, something that hasn't been done before, a very compelling story, entertaining, but also has its moments of action, suspense.... overall great story!!
_ Not so much need to be said about the art, the characters are well drawn, a more serious and less colorful environment, since the story is more or less in a fictional modern time, realistic in general (except for the shinigami/death gods and their book, hehe)
_ The music is amazing and fits right where it needs to be, globally very good soundtrack, but kinda has a weird intro for the second part of the show (i hated it, but it's a matter of opinion...)
_You'll LOVE the characters, that's all that needs to be said, in the first 2 episodes you'll meet the main characters, Light and L... and you'll be automatically introduced to their personalities and you'll discover more and more about them as the story progresses.
To wrap everything up, this is an amazing anime, for everyone.... And really worth watching !!!
