Though I have to say......
....that Shinigami Eyes concept Ryuk introduced was rather intriguing. I wonder when there'll be a time Light will use that. :roll:

I pretty much liked how L deduce the fact that Light is a student. But I really liked how Light is going to "use" the police to find L for him by using the indirect mistrust the police has on L.
The art quality seemed to decrease though. Hmmm, I wonder if Light ever thought of killing off terrorists? :o

From someone who read the manga start to finish as it came out, i guarentee people who enjoy the series from it's beginning will love the conclusion.

I was amazed when i saw how well the anime has been produced; angelx03 hit it on the head with the use of dark and foreboding colouring and imagery to create the setting of a dank and pitiless world in need of purging. What i enjoyed particularly was the various cinematography that made the anime more paced and seem more action-packed. Since the series is highly dialogue based it's good to see they could make it very visually appealing as well.

i can't wait for this series to continue, and i'm getting every damn raw along the way! :D

The first half of the story was awesome, I didn't like the second half. Most-likely Death Note will be split into two seasons, due to the significant changes in the second half of the story. So personally, I liked the beginning (or all that would be season 1), but thought the conclusion was crap (everything in what would be season 2 that leads to the conclusion).

Doubtlessly the first half was better, but i must say the second was still very exciting. I think the first saga caters to people who like intellectual battles, and the second combines that with a little bit of action to keep things moving.

I have encountered quite a few people that disliked the conclusion, and i won't discuss it here for obvious reasons, but frankly i think it's the best end they could have given it.

I actually might like the second half just as much as the first, especially with the
Spoiler :
introduction of Mellow and N (don't search these characters up otherwise you'll inevitably encounter the biggest spoiler in the whole anime/manga)
, also curious to see who will voice these characters since ANN haven't listed them yet.

these anime series discussion threads really need an edit button available and I don't see the harm in having one... apologies for that, I know the syntax for spoiler tags now, although those two names alone shouldn't be sufficient for anyone to deduce anything about the plot >_>

By the way, when does Misa get introduced? Knowing that Aya Hirano is voicing her has my ears tingling. 8-)
