And that’s what pissed me most off about the series is it totally flipped itself upside down at the end and made Light seem psychotic.

(click to show/hide)He was. The combination of intelligence and stress tends to do that to people, and the power didn't help at all.
--- Quote --- (click to show/hide)Which if we watch his development from the beginning he never had that trait nor did he allude to it. It was more like the creators of the series didn’t want Light to win, because if he did that meant, in some twisted way, that evil triumph over good. And apparently that’s politically incorrect even in fiction in the global society.

(click to show/hide)He *did* win. And then, then decided to make some 13-odd more episodes.
There wouldn't have been an end if Light had won again, because there'd always be someone to oppose him.

[utterlybrokenspoilerspamcommerce] (click to show/hide)They could have used the dreaded 30 year timeskip where light passed away due to old age, and what he left behind him was conspiracy and fear on a global scale, people watching their backs every night, hooligans looking into the sky wondering if a rock is going to fall on them etc etc

I've just finished watching this Anime. And I loved it. I will always adress it as DeathNote26, because that's where everything should end. I disliked the last 11 episodes. A really massive downfall of quality 27-37. I guess they wanted to drag out the standard-size 26ep anime due to popular pressure or something.
4.5/5 because of those last 11 eps.

I watched this some time ago, and seem to be in agreement with most other people here.
(click to show/hide)the show unfortunately really ends with L's death
In regards to the ending though...
(click to show/hide)I'm certainly of the notion that it ended pretty perfectly. I saw nothing out of character for how he acted, as his entire world was falling apart. This was HIS story, and it was ending. It was completely inconceivable to him.
all in all though, a great show. Someone mentioned code geass earlier in the thread as a similar show, and I'd also like to recommend this to anyone who enjoyed death note. While it never really gets quite as dark, CG has so fantastic moments and a character whose failures are just as enjoyable to watch as Lights.

im rewatching the series again!
and im back on the part where misa goes to lights house and i think ive just realized something.
Light never thought about procreation or a family or anything of the like.
he only ever used the women around him. was he ever planning to settle down whilst killing people?
not to mention once L (click to show/hide)died no one noticed how pretty much all progress in the kira murders ceased. in which it woulda probably been best that light disbanded the whole thing or left the case. Years had passed and no progress...thats a sign to me. (click to show/hide)L is still the best character in the show. its extremley sad that he dies, when he dies... so does the show. L shoulda killed light some type of way. or burned the notebooks anyway.

Eh. :-\ Dislike the manga. As far as I know, nothing was improvised by the Animation studio or the script writers. Everything was in the manga, well, maybe except for that Death Note Conclusion Special... they didn't do it even if there was hype around the series...
