When the killings were becoming more frequent, L admitted that “Kira” intrigued him, without at first knowing that Light was “Kira”. Be-fore “Kira” became a dangerous case, L refused to involve himself in the case, despite the many requests of the local and private police. He is in-credibly insightful and intelligent, but he is also a person who feels that human interaction is almost unnecessary.
L is one of the most loved characters throughout anime in general, and not just limited to Death Note itself. Of course, what good would this anime be without suspense and without the plot moving forward at a significant pace? The main goal of Death Note is for Light Yagami to realise that his self-acclaimed God title will result to nothing, as he is a mere human. The anime itself does not glorify romance and label it as a “prize” for the characters to win, as it’s usually dictated as such in anime sometimes. Notoriously known for its incredible psychological pressure and question of what “God’s” job really entails, Death Note is definitely one of the more popular anime that is not popular merely because of the romantic aspects.
