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.

With all the excitement I have put on this review there are down sides you should expect because this anime is not perfect. Light sometimes you can say takes everything very serious or the anime portrays it that way. Pretty much eating a potato chip is epic in this anime, so there are some ...Corny stuff. There are also some characters in the anime that really slow its potential down and makes it less then it already is. You can say that is in this anime that will not be the greatest thing to watch. Also many can argue the first part of the anime was much better then the second because of a certain happening that changes the anime on its head. But even after that you can still enjoy the same mind games and epic stuff from Light Yagami.

This anime is a real must watch and I recommend it to everyone, Yes even if you don't like mystery anime, This one will get you hooked. A battle between two minds is all you need to enjoy this anime. Its pacing is also amazing which really makes it feel like not that your watching anime, But a movie. Anyone who hasn't watched it, Go watch it now !

Rating: 9/10
