Death Note (2006) 

English [SPOILER] The beginning? Awesome. Light and the "Shimigami" are both fine. What about L? An absolutely perfect character that I instantly liked. Except that Light suddenly started to lose appeal with me, which reached its peak with the death of L. Without him, it was already empty for me. Boring. The end of a series is supposed to build, not fall. But other than that, of course, it's a better 3 stars :-) ()
