I have just finished watching the first epi of the TV series, so there's nothing much to comment about actually. Have read the manga, but haven't watch the movie yet. Personally, I can't accept the moral values expressed in this story. But if you don't mind about morality and stuff, then this one is just right for you. Based from what I've read in the manga and if they are going to bring the exact storyline from the manga to anime, then I would say that the first few episodes would certainly be very interesting to watch. It'll give you a jolt to your human conscience, whether it is right or not for a human to act this way or that. Anyway, Ryuk rocks! ^-^ He certainly looks cool and funny in his ragged clothes! He's adorable! So overall, it's worth watching if you are too lazy to read the manga and prefer motion characters.
