After I first watched this anime, right away I watched It again :) It's awesome.
No more words are needed. Anyway:
Anime is bassed on Visual Novel, and it's great adaptation.
Story goes around Okabe Rintarou, Hououin Kyouma, Okarin (three name and one person, {like god in christianity :) sry if you are religous and I offend you :)})
First part of anime 1-9 has a perpouse to introduce characters and concept of Time travel. To be fair those epsiodes are not that great and many animes are at least as good as that, But in those episodes one mad scientist do a great job and you can't ... stop watching it :)
During episode 9 something in anime is changing, anime gets little more serious with cabooooom on episode 12.
After episode 12 we can experience something that is really hard to find, no spioilers but what episodes 13-24 shows is a struggle against fate and world by our protagonist. We can see many emotions which are perfectly made.

For me this anime may be best that I watched so far, it's offen changing with DN can't decide. Anyway going on with review.

Art: great and it's fits. Design of characters is great and backgrounds are high quality, microwave phone (temp) looks great.

Sound: I don't know how many times I already listen to main thene Gate of sinister. And how many more times I will. And every time when I hear version which is played when "something tragic" happen I found myself with tear in eyes.
There are also many great seiyū.

Characters:
Protagonist of 3 names is great and unique. One of best characters there is.
Shiina Mayurii... In the end it would look like Name great character and it could contain spoiler so lets skip this.
Anyway in the end it's one of best anime there is and it's fully deserve top1-2 on my list and place 3 on MAL, although what I found wery surprising story in VN and how it's shown is even greater which is hard to belive when you consider sole anime being that great. I won't go into details but if you considering should I play it or not, do it, I am sure you won't regreat it.

Does criminal who comited crime should die? Is this justice?
That's the main question in this anime and I think that's what make it most interesting because whe have 2 protagonists Kira and L both of them do what they think is justice and what should be done. As you watch the anime you try to find an anwaser to this question, every one have different opinion and there is atleast 3 topics about it on most of anime forums.

DN is first no shonen type anime that I watched and it make me love it. Since I though what anime was the best ever, DN always ... was on top no matter what.
After I watched for the first time, I went outside for a walk though about the question asked before and when I went back I watched DN again, and after that once more, and after that once more 25 first episodes. In the end I watch it atleast once a year :).

In the story we have a fight of minds between, Best detective in the world and young genius who found note of death god. Thanks to that he was able to eliminate every person in the world as long as he knew thier name and how thier face looks like.
Yagami Raito who found Death note decided to eliminate all criminals which commited crime which was too extrime. Does he have right to kill them? All nations in thier belief decided that should be stoped and it's wrong doing, some of them belived it's how it should be and some did it because they couldn't just say it's a good thing that criminals die. That how society work, although first codex of laws in history was simpler An Eye for an Eye, that was something like codex of Hammurabi, That how it has been. Why does it changed, because someone though that killing someone was a wrong thing to doeven if he did kill 3 small childrens in a bunny siut with fork. That was extreme example but whatever. If you knew that a criminal killed someone close to you and then was released because there was no proof how would you fell, or he got small panalty, wouldn't you prefer that Hammurabi was still alive. On the other hand however can you let some unknow person do judgment on all people, What if he is wrong, what if he is someone who kills because he fell like it and suddenly decide that he kill every leader of country noone will know what to do and some retard will start another world war. It's isn't that simple.
Anyway this anime has it serious tone in it, for me it's best anime ever.
It has 2 great protagonist, Interesting plot, graphic is great and fit the story, and music great as well.
Although I think that not everyone have to like this anime, the things that I love in this anime others may not, or there are so many other types of anime which have thier good points and are completly different, yet for me DN will always remain nr1 and it was catalyst that made me fan of anime, although I would want to find anime that will be better than this one,
I hope that one day DN will be removed from number one because the anime that will beat it will be so great that I have no idea what should be there

Setting: Player is trapped inside a Virtual reality MMORPG, from the moment I saw first note on this anime I knew That for 100% I will watch it. Yet normally try to wait for anime to end because I like to watch it fully and wait for it to end, But here I couldn't because I am a gamer who is still playing WOW and started it half when european servers came up.

The hole concept of VR was in my interest for a long time, and I readed about it way before this anime was known to me.
So when I saw combination of three ... things that I like I couldn't not watch it, But I tried, I was able to start it when 7 episodes were out already. So:

The first episode was second best ever (for me (first place DN) first episode that I have seen. After all it combined my intrest, graphic is great as anime in 2012 should have been, and the story that was shown was really serious, and could go in many dirrections, you had no clue what awaits you in next episode.
As I watched the rest I liked how it went all characters fit story and protagonist isn't some flawless here and he isn't useless as it happens a lot, and the things he do fit his personality.
I won't mention about story but just few fellings of mine about them
First already described, Second I really liked the end of it as he became beater.
3-7 introduce characters, and have purpose to slow down the action. (Note: they are actually side stories in novel), and now we have episode 8 (which is start of actuall story that was in first novel)

As you can guess I have already readed novel, I did it after I watched 7 episodes, actually I already readed 7 volumes in 5 days (average 270-330 page each, (I have lot of time= holidays) so I can say the story has a potential to have 10 from me (look at my list to see how many titles have it),also if they do it correctly I a sure you that if you can cry and smile at the same time because of anime this will bring tears and smile at the end, also I hope there will be more seasons which will show rest off volumes which are great as well.
(note: novels are great they discribe more, have more content, and if you have good imagination you will have great fell from this, if you readed books you know what I mean, another note: the ones that were asked to read by teachers mostly didn't felt to your taste and were uninteresting, should I said boring. But books are great and if you have time read them, something like this title should suit your taste as you like anime)

first review although if you like it check out my anime list as it has short notes about every anime I watched. Also I don't think that review should be done as this is still ongoing but I liked it so much that I wanted to do one even if only for my pleasure of writing down about things I like
