While it's hard to pinpoint the moments of greatness in both the film and the anime, I'd heartily reccommend this great series to anyone.

The film itself is a superb two parter that derives from elements of the anime almost frame by frame, whilst the anime is derived from the original comic, which is all available in a few volumes.

The character of L is something to be amazed by and he could be one of the modern great characters of the screen. His own spinoff film, L : Change the World, is due out in Japan next February.... when I'll be there.......
