Critical Review:
Now I had to think about this review a little bit and try to explain the best way I can to how I feel of this anime. Without trying to hype people up that much, If you haven't seen this anime, Go watch it now. This anime is a battle between two great minds which leads to amazing mind battles. What makes this anime so highly is not the action, because well you can arguably say there isn't any real action. What makes this anime amazing is the battle between Light and L. Always challenging one another and fighting of who will catch who, was no less of an amazing spectacle. Light Yagami when discovering the note book begins to kill of criminals and cleaning the world of darkness. He even claims he will be the god of the world. But when L comes in, it is all changed and pretty much this is when the anime gets heavy. Especially that epic entrance and there first battle between each other, Was the starting point of why I knew this anime was going to be good. If I really had to look into this anime deeply there isn't anything much other then the thrill L and Light set off when ever they go at one another. There isn't any real character development, No action, No beautiful anime quality or no amazing sound track. But I can forgive it all because of what this two characters do.
