Hands down the best anime ever. I really miss the anticipation I felt every week wondering how the hell Light was going to get out of the hole he's been digging with a diamond shovel. But mostly I miss my favorite character, L.
L was my favorite too. Very good anime indeed. The battle of minds between L and Kira was really awesome, not knowing who would win. I did not like Near or Mello. They were not anywhere as awesome as L. >.>
Of course Ryuk is the 2nd best char after L imo. Gotta love the Shinigami. I also like Misa because her Japanese voice actress is the same one who did the voices for Izumi Konata (my favorite anime char) and Suzumiya Haruhi. xD
