Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It's all interestingly aggregating & hooking in start but as soon as L dies next episode are just waste of time

Gah. It was the first manga I ever picked up, and I just finished watching the anime for the first time. It's incredible. The writing is so pristine, and good, even if you hate anime, you can appreciate the cleverness of it all, and how the story is one step ahead of you. What a ride, what a glorious ride.

I liked the imagery, however I had great difficulty understanding the strange noises the characters were making.

This is the most intelligent game of cat and mouse you'll ever see. But, surprisingly, after dozens of episodes of mind-bending battles of wits, your brain starts to get tired and you forget who to root for and why. The two main characters are unique and well-developed, and you may find yourself changing your mind about who the protagonist is. However, there are only so many despicable acts that one can forgive. In the end, I was left pondering the big picture: what other potential uses for this power would their be, and why did the show creators choose to only explore the "power-trip" scenario?
