This anime has no proper characterizing, Kira's character is not shaped completely, or even half complete. Same for L. Only thing we know about Kira is that he's a smart boy in his school which is tired from the daily life. And even these small properties are barely shown at the action, most of them are told by the dialogs. This TV series has no interesting or exiting scene, it is filled by dialogs and useless scenes. The idea of killing criminals around the world is a repetitive and spoilt subject. Although in American movies with this subject, you can find some characters, actions and joyful movements but in this TV series, you can't find any of those things. Self-speaking scenes were spook as hell, those must be shown at dialogs or acts. In dialogs there are so many problems and I will tell you a little bit of them. First of all dialogs were full of useless and additional sentences, for example if the hole speech could be told in 2 sentences, you see 10 sentences full of repeats and useless explanations. The other problem is that the dialogs were mainstream and repetitive. They were just the same sentences which we heard in thousands of anti-criminal movies.
