Death Note
Contrary to the movies, the anime series closely follows the original storyline of the first seven volumes of the manga (L’s arc) then rushes significantly through N’s arc by accentuating many action scenes and skipping monologues or long discussions between characters described in the final 5 volumes of the manga series. There were changes on the character designs, which were adapted by Masaru Kitao, and the order of facts. There was also a few additional scenes not featured in the original manga and set in the year 2007, instead of starting at the year 2003.
