I really like this anime but I think the reviews over 8 are dishonest. It's a very entertaining show, the idea of the death note is excellent and the game between Light and L is very fun and mostly clever.

But after a second view, you can see a lot of flaws in the story. First, L is too lucky and look I didn't say too clever because it's not always clever sometime he finds things about Kiera that it didn't even make sense he find out. Let's be honest, if someone stupid would have a death note it would take so many years to get bust so someone as smart as Light wouldn't have been caught before dying of old age. I get to make the show work, L must be a treat to Light but still they should have thought of a way to give L an advantage because like this it makes no sense.

Anyways it's still a good show but I don't think its masterpiece. Seriously, people use masterpiece way too often.
