The effort taken to right this story is far beyond my imagination, even as an author myself. It just kept me guessing the whole time of how he would solve things.
The art was also great. I'm not much of an artist, but I know good art when I see it.
I've listened to many dubs, and I've got to say, this one was done well.
The characters were great too. L was sort of a creep, but he's just a guy who likes sweets and to be in closed areas. Light was an evil mastermind. However, it did disappoint me a little that he wasn't capable of love. That didn't matter much in this anime because he was supposed to be evil. I must admit, killing people is wrong, but at least he was only killing criminals. It was only when he started to kill those who were getting in his way that he turned evil.
I enjoyed this anime very much and even though it wasn't listed as a comedy, I found most of it funny. The ending disappointed me a bit because there was a detective better than L, but Light shouldn't have been so ignorant to little details. (I was especially impressed by the invention on how to hide the Death Note in his desk.)
This anime is an overall 10 for obvious reasons.
