I’m only 11 episodes into this so I’ll have to post an update when I’m done. According to TJK it gets pretty crappy in the 20s, but then again, I’ve never met anyone as critical about anime as he is.

So far, I like that:

1. The main character is, for once, not a complete and utter moron. Of course, he makes up for that by being angsty AND psychotic. But then again, he makes up for that by being very good looking. In any case, I think the show does a pretty good job of getting you to side with the bad guy.
2. Instead of being flooded with useless flashbacks, we get pensive but content-filled monologues while the characters improbably preempt every possible disaster thrown their way.
3. L is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, who also does the voice of USOPP, the singular most annoying anime character ever created. From village retard to boy genius. My mind reels every time he says something.

So good that I even forgive the lack of pewpew.
