i love it and i watched the whole series more than 5 times and its so much better than the live action so lets not even compare them. i dont know if it was a good move to kill of L and it got me angry a little (alot), i realy didnt expect that or the ending but we knew there would be no other way from the begining. i think i will give the live action a chance and watching without comparing to the anime maybe that make it a little better. i havent been able to find any anime to take no.1 from death note and i have been searching for a long while (years).
