a a massive fan of the manga i very much look forward to watch this i be disappoint . although some of the theme be still maintain much of the story have be decimate . this isn not the type of story that you can pick and choose what work and it must fit together . neither raito or l show any sense of real justice or intellect which be the two characteristic that make their relationship and conflict so interesting . raitos cautious nature have be completely ignore with him blatantly bring out his deathnote in a crowd full of people to write name in it in the very first scene show him . it do not do justice to the original manga and all i have to say to anyone who be disappoint with the obvious flaw in this please see the manga for yourself before make judgement on this great story .
