The brilliance of the show lies therein, its a cat and mouse game, only to be thwarted by the opportunistic entrance of anything other than those two, say, a bulldog or heartworms.
I just finished the series today and the ending ruined my day. Light should've won. He used to be smarter, but then the writers made him dumb. It would have been okay if L was the one that beat Light, but it was stupid Mello and Near. I hate Near so much, he didnt deserve to beat Light. I would have been happier if this episode didn't exist and they ended it last episode leaving it up to our imaginations about what happens. Its not that I like what he did; I was just rooting for the protagonist
If you think about it hard enough, you realize that ryuk can see light's life span so he pretty much knew he was going to die on january 28. :( such a sad ending. i wish it was a longer series! :'( best anime ever!!!!
epic vid. can you check out my vid, the ABC's of Death Note. I put DN characters and concepts to almost every letter of the english alphabet. hope you like it if you do watch, but yea really cool video here.
i like how he just twirled around brought out a piece of paper and yelled , i wold have been like hmm behind my back that guy has a gun kill him that guy too make em all die at the same time then like retreat to hungry
Poor Light. Even though he did what he did I still feel for him. All he wanted to do was to help the world but he never realized that he can't fight evil with evil. He is such an interesting character to analyze.
@TwilightMoon777 He could and did fight evil with evil, but what goes around comes around and his "sins" caught up with him... its the wheel of life, you play around with it too much and so you eventually get run over by it.
man .. i just watched death note up to the end. the first thing i did, i grabbed my jacket and smoked half a pack right away. usually, i never get this sucked into anime but i swear... yagami light is awesome. fucking N
i remember the first day this episode was shown nation wide. and in the end...and the next 3 days.....i couldn't sleep, eat, talk, or move around...i just sat outside deppressed at how deathnote ended...
It's a sad story What started out as one school boys dream of a new safe world turned into a deadly game that slowly made Light lose sight of his humanity If you think about it he had no friends. Everyone became a pawn to him and he eventually had no qualms about killing anyone From observing this whole anime I have found that Light became more stupid as time went on for example look at how careful and smart he was when L was after him compared to the decisions he made when N was gunning for him
i wanted to see the new world i'm a supporter of kira if it was real and i had the deathnote i would make a new world the same as kira .... all hail kira!!!
the ending to death note... With N... shouldn't have even been...another person's that are equivalent to L...BS. It should have just ended with L dieing and showing that Kira was shaping the world to a peaceful one.. they should have thought more upon this instead of making a whole new plot.
i think Light should have run outside before he got shot and call Misa for a safehouse. At the safehouse write all the names down on the small piece of paper, so the people (including Near) die. Light got back to the place wear Near died and stole the notebook back.
Its not "died anyway" Its- he dies because his name is written on the death note.. Matsuda wounded him, but apparently the bullets didn't hit a main organ/blood vessel, he could've gone on for maybe minutes to hours with his heart faintly working, until he bled to death. Ryuk sped it up. ; P
Ive tried to read all the comments posted on here...and I have no idea what you all said...but all I know is that even though I dont really like Light Yamigay...I still cried when he died.
lmaooo ahahhahah dammmmm u people get all serious about death note but i think that the author meant to make it diversical so we can look what's happening to our world today ...OR ...he just alsome ps........i love L's hair and im a guy o.o
It is not impossible to become a fan of both.. but mainly these types of people have not payed enough attention to the intention of Death Note's creation. Those who chose a side, truly comprehend the anime within itself as a whole.
If my hypothesis is correct, the objective of death Note can be compared to a global psychiatric test for personal gain... so to speak. (continued) In the eyes of a Kira fan, the tone and storyline is different in their perspective compared to the perspective of L's fans. One who is a fan of kira, will observe his actions more closley and possibly relate to his action; agreeing to some extent. And the same is for the fans of L. (continued)
In the eyes of two people who have different outtakes on the analysis of the characters, their perspective of the events in this anime is drastically different in comparison to one another. I am certain the writer intended for all of Death Note's viewers to have a different discernment of the characters through personal analyze; allowing one to acknowledge their personal ways of thinking, in relation to the acts of either L or Kira. (continued)
The antagonist of this anime is mainly determined by the viewer in his/her's own eyes. This anime was designed to allow one such viewer to use their judgments, or outtakes of the world around them and compare to this to each character in Death Note. By doing this, the viewer can either believe that Kira's acts were justice, or if L's acts were justice. (countinued)
um, hello? you guys don't understand... see, you just can't watch death note and not like Light.. it's just like watching C-Span and not liking the politicians. Ugh, duh.
Uh.. hello? Don't respond if you can't even spell your opinion correctly: antagonist, not anAtagonist. And you're wrong: Light Yagami was the protagonist. Do you even know the difference? On either case, antagonist or protaganist, that should have no influence on whether you like the character or not, and if it does, or it did, then realize that it's those mediocre thoughts that are killing our world, and that's why we desperately need a "Kira" in our world today.*
It's pathetic in the first place to insult someone's spelling on the internet, even more pathetic when the error was because they added 1 letter by mistake.
Fair enough, i stand corrected over the meaning of Antagonist, but my point still stands, the story of Death Note portrays Kira as a harsh, morbid and emotionless person. That can't be argued. People do not like Inhuman feelings and appearances, when someone acts inhuman, people dislike them, because they don't have the same humane ideals
We do not need a "Kira" in our world today, just because people actually care about fairness and humanity as a whole.
Besides, I think you're taking a Boys Anime a little too seriously. Stop acting like your opinion is all important, because no-one cares.
Oh, and for your information, I hate the character Naruto and yet I love the show, is that wrong, as you say it is? No. Because Death Note just Kira killing people.
The show is OBVIOUSLY more then just killing, and blah blah blah [etc]. It is one of those "intelligent" shows I guess you could say. Something you can learn from. Hn.
death note was an epic anime but the ending was sad =\ i find myself wondering how his life would have turned out if he never found the death note.imo misa jumps off the building shes standing on in the credits and ryuk just gives the notebook to someone else for more ammusment.but i wonder if ryuk will kill everyone who knows about the death note........if he didnt no one would believe them anyway.and L > Near :P
that is a really good ending . . . this anime had a lot of emotion i wish that L would have lived FOR EVER because he is amassing but with out his death it would have not been the grate anime that it was and i am so glad that light the murder kira is finely finely dead he got what was coming to him and all so showing that the death god did not have any connection to light was all so vary genus and lights hole god complex really pissed me off
Yesh, I thought the same too... then saw it was the most convenient ending for the anime. :P It's different in the manga, I think? But there's an extra anime part that tell us what happens to him after this. It's pretty cool.
For MAJOR spoilers, one uses UPPERCASE letters in the title. :D lol
i like this ending, cause, though he was shown as goofy, slow, and kinda stupid, matsuda's the one who kills light, justifying him as my third favorite death note character (Just below L and then Light at first).
Matsuda did basically "lethally wound" him, he would've died eventually- Ryuk just put the cherry on top a bit quicker than he could've.
And please refrain from calling Matsuda a fag since basically he's saved the whole nation by doing what he did. He may be an idiot, but he's a GOOD guy.
if light was to be defeated, ONLY L should have done it! not a spoiled little boy... end sucks
