SPOILER BELOW
Well Light depends on his own brain skills the whole time. Just like One Piece, there is not random huge transformation except for when he actually decided to start killing. After that it's him using his smarts in different situations to escape capture. I don't know if you've seen the whole thing, but in the end this actually leads to his demise. I also thinks Light doesn't follow the standard anime "bad boy" hero. For one thing, he's not actually the hero. I don't see many anime's who have a sociopath as there protagonist main character. Most of the time people are rooting for L, or for Light to die(Not meXD). I'd go as far to say Light IS the bad guy in the show, not your typical hero when he is considered a mass murderer.
I also think shows that run as long as One Piece (Naruto/Bleach/DBZ) as good as they are, come across flawed all together. Don't get me wrong, I really like Naruto and so on, but filler seasons and repetitive story lines will kill me sometimes.

Yeah, I saw the whole thing (and read the manga), and like I said Death Note isn't too bad about sticking to a formula. Light is still the protagonist, despite his dark nature. The protagonist doesn't have to be on the SIDE of good, just has to be the main focus of the story. And yeah, One Piece's only major flaw is a cyclical story line, though that cycle can be adjusted quite a bit (as happened in the last arc).


Ok... but you said "bad boy" hero. You also said DEM....so were you talking about Death Note or animes in general?

And another reason I find Death Note intriguing is the actual confrontations. It's more like a drama than typical action anime's that are so popular.

 
Animes in general, sorry if that wasn't clear.  I should have said "protagonist" you're right.  I made another post in offtopic about posting your favorite animes.  Please visit it and post some of yours!

The series really started to suck after L died.. but I still would rather have Light win.

I blame Near and Mikami.

After Light completed his ass pull of a plot to kill L, you basically didn't want to see anything else besides Light's head on a pike.

After a single episode of watching Near and Mikami in action, I was firmly on L's side for the rest of the series, even though the ending was a foregone conclusion at that point.

EDIT: I also blame Mello. Can't forget about him.

I thought Death Note was great, but yes, it wasnt as good after L died

I liked the ending, I do have to admit that L. dieing made it worse for a few episodes. But I liked the new stuff that happened after it and stopped caring about L. I do wish he survived 'till the end to make it a bit more epic though.

I gave the series a 10. ^_^
