the reason i watched this anime is because it got me favourite voice actor, Miyano, Mamoru, from Ouran to Eureka Seven to Death Note. and i have to say he is a very talented voice actor as well :=)
i actually pretty surprise how the story goes, because most of the story within anime is pretty straight forward and kinda easy to understand, but with Death Note, one must stay ahead of the other in other, well, not to be capture, or kill.
the art of Death Note is, in my opinion, to see the nature of human being after acquire a god-like power. again, blending the storyline in the art of human being is simply terrific.
background music and tones of voice actors are amazing, thats one of the reason i prefer Japanese voice than english voice. especially with the background music when Light commit those writing in The Note.
Character design ? brilliant. simply brilliant. all characters acquire different roles and those short-appearance like FBI agent, Ray Penbar, amazing. some anime do have some short-appearance like him, but with Death Note, you can see some characters like him.
enjoyment ? max. enough said.
overall, best of the best. thats why this anime still in top 5 after weeks and weeks. ;-)
