Ryuk is a breath of fresh air. This character has a unique way of thinking and 연기 (quite awkwardly I may add) and I 사랑 it. It's a pity Tsugumi Ohba made him a flat, static, side character. There are definitely some 질문 I have about Ryuk's character that the series does not answer (Was Ryuk ever a infant? What is his 가장 좋아하는 color? How old is he really? Etcetera.), but since he brings a little humor into the series I got over it. Personally, I believe that if Ryuk was not in Death Note it's ranking on my 아니메 list would be significantly lower due to he's my 가장 좋아하는 character. To put it without babbling too much, he's interesting.
