    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off by saying that the first 2/3 of Death Note were fantastic. Great characters (save for Misa), brilliant writing, and a good concept. Then, L was killed off. I didn't have a problem with this. In fact, I thought it was the right thing to do. If Light and L kept up the whole cat-and-mouse thing, it would've gotten stale. But then they introduced Mello and Near, the latter of which is one of my least favorite characters in all of anime. I liked Mello because he was different from Ryuzaki, which was a change of pace I liked. But Near is just a mere imitation of L, a cardboard cutout, almost. Except Near is less, funny, likable, well-developed, and intelligent. The plot then becomes nonsensical. Near never does anything, all he does is guess and rip off other people's work. Even the ending is very disappointing. Death Note could've been one of my favorite animus, but unfortunately, it went into a downward spiral after L's death. Too many characters were introduced and the pacing was all over the place and inconsistent. Oh, Death Note, how you've fallen from grace.… Expand

    Should have ended at episode 25, really. Maybe the entire season 2 was just to squeeze a little more money out of the series. But, at the same time, maybe it was completely necessary to immortalize Death Note in our minds. I don't know. But I admit: Death Note AS IT IS will forever be ingrained in my mind. All I know is that the first 25 episodes are far better than the remainder. TheShould have ended at episode 25, really.

    These are the first words read in the Death Note by Light Yagami, a straight-A student who develops a god complex when he finds a notebook, dropped by shinigami Ryuk, that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written down in it. However, matters get out of hand when the Japanese Police Force tries to solve the case of the mysterious upsurge in criminal deaths alongside master detective L.

    El mejor anime que ha visto la luz. Una obra maestra absoluta que sin duda volvería a disfrutar una y otra vez.

    The series takes a small dip in the "slow and boring" territory, but then picks back up and and gives you some great final battles and a satisfying resolution.

    A partir da primeira temporada a série começou a decai com a morte do L e a entrada de personagens irritantes que estragou a trama completamente e sem contar o final que foi bastante ruim.

    La primera temporada fue increíble, la segunda fue un poco mejor que la primera según mi opinión, tiene más suspenso y revela más hechos de la historia, me sigue gustando mucho la primera, pero esta es increíble

    Many people don't like this season because of the different elements that the new ones introduce into the mix. I personally adore it regardless, as it is a masterpiece, but be wary that disappointment is highly probable.

    Striking story, mind-blowing imagination, deep and thorough discussion of death penalty. Original sound tracks are great compliments to this impeccable animation as well.

    Significantly worse than the first season. No intellectual battle and amazing plans. It makes sense to look only because of the ending.
