[Phenom]

An update.

If you read the manga, DO NOT watch the anime. Seriously, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Atleast that's how I feel about it now. The first half of the series is really good, but seeing how I did not read the first half, I didn't do any comparisons.

After Near and Mello get into the mix

I've heard people having all sorts of issues with the series.

Spoiler: show

And I'm thinking that's because they are upset seeing L dead

. And I didn't have any issues with that because I'm was of the mindset that the second half should be as good because it was still good in the manga.

That's not what I got at all in the anime. One major reason that I don't really care for Death Note anymore, or rather the second half of Death Note is because there was just way too much that was not shown from the manga. Majority of the times I normally wouldn't mind this because it's to be expected on Cartoon Network, but the things that weren't shown has nothing to do with being edited. (I highly doubt that Adult Swim did any real editing in the first place.) It was more like important bits that weren't shown.

Spoiler: show

Some of the more confrontations between Light and Near were removed. Mello finding out that Light is Kira.

Just some of the stuff that was not shown. The way it is in the anime is that they already know, and they leave you wondering how did they find out this information in the first place. It's probably nothing major to other people, but I just don't like that type of stuff.
