Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Psychological thriller elements
While many anime tend to focus on epic battles, this one is almost entirely mental. Some of the biggest happenings are mostly relating to characters' thoughts and plans, yet it sill manages to draw in the viewers.
Pro Amazing
Pro Best battle shounen ever
The character development, storytelling, worldbuilding are top notch. The arc variability is commendable, all of them being great.
Pro Spectacular character building
The characters grow stronger but also the relationships are developed throughout the show
Pro No filler
Despite its length, this adaptation of the manga follows the story fairly closely, and doesn't spend much time trying to stretch things out.
Pro Character development
Cons
Con Second part not as good as the first
The show follows the rise and fall of the main characters. Generally, the first half of the show is considered the best part of it for this reason.
Con Plot armor
Plot armors are fine but this whole series is just a plot armor for the main character Light Yagami.
Con Same story as its predecessor anime
Con It ended
While this may seem an odd con, and the show has a fairly satisfying conclusion, the fact is that despite ongoing manga releases, this adaptation has ended without any apparent interest in a nearby continuation.
