DeathNote I really loved the manga, though for me deathnote ended when L died and it felt dragged on , but ofcourse whith such fanase they have to continue somehow for fanservice and keep going the series in motion.
I eventually lost interest coz i was not liking near and mello , anyways dropped reading it , and then anime came, which wasn't anyclose to manga in terms of characters development.
So yesterday i was trolling some anime forums onlne, with topic on deathnote ending.
Then i was like atleast i should check out what happened in end, though i knew light died.
I dloaded the last 2 episdoes and the final moments , the showdown between matsuda and yagami was very nicely aniamted, i ish it had same level of quality animation(like madhouse did in monster, full fluidity and more frames), in whole series.
The final moments of kira were really cinematic, loved it.
But the nature/last scenario how they ended , was felt deliberate attempt to end it smartly.
Want to ask
Why didnt mikami notice its real deathnote, after all when you touch it you can see ryuuk, yagami should have told him to make sure touching it and seeing ryuuk before writing anyhting(in order to confirm thats its the origianl and liable one).
the whole trusting other guys and hiring them, doesnt felt like yagamis clever character decision, portrayed in whole manga.
Yagami could have written someone name(of someone on the scene, even his own group guys) on the piece of paper he had in watch, in advance to deviate attention.
Yagami felt dumb, at the end, the managa always pulled out smarlty something that i was unable to sort, laer with descriptions it was smartly calculated moves, bu in the end , i could have made better decision, it felt dumb on yagamis end.
Was it intentional?
Yet even so, why to not smartly end it?
Did you find it smart ending cmparing to smartness of rest of the series? I didn't, though i really liked the presntation of final scenes.
And fuck ryuuk was not a tiny bit in faor of yagami, as if he is not allowed ot favor a little bit to ayagmi, after all he was already going overboard with 2 deatnotes.

ryuuk was already breaking otherworld rules , might as well favor yagami.
I have yet to check out manga ending though, i heard its better.

I agree that the final scenes were done well in the anime -- but I would have preferred if the entire thing had ended with L's death.
One of the main things that I love about Death Note is Light as the main character -- he's a bastard, but you find yourself routing for him. I would have loved for the entire thing to have ended there with nothing in the way to stop him from completing his goal.

I haven't seen the whole series although I know most of the story (following it on AS).
I disliked the end as well, Ryuk is a dick for not helping at all. Rem was cool, too bad Light didn't get a Shinigami like her.
One thing confuses me right now; why did L suspect Light when Misa was captured?
Btw I like Misa. Dumb as a brick but freaking hot, especially in her outfits. What L and Watari did to her makes me that much happier that they both die. I'll probably stop watching after that.

Compared to the manga, the anime is a stupid piece of shit. It totally destroyed the ending and the whole second story arc is a complete nonsense, due to the huge sections of the manga cutted out in the anime. I mean, if you watch the anime, you really can't figure out who is matt and why lidner speaks with mello.
And WHY the ending must be so... so... so "HI I AM A FANGIRL I LOVE LIGHT I LOVE L OMG THEY ARE SO SEXY". This is the ending of the anime, for god's sake.

Yet that's how it is with most anime adaptions. I adore the Gokusen Anime, but the manga kicks it's ass plain and simple. I hate all the L fangirls out there. Sure I'm a fan of L, but only because he's intellectual and the best character within the series IMO. I can't even begin to count how many yaoi opportunities there were in the anime.

Hell yeah.

Twenty tousands, three hundred and eighty six. But I guess there are some that I didn't counted.

Damn straight! I want to kick Nanahara's ass every time I see him, because he's a fucking fag. I used to see nana's actor on tv all the time in Japan.
I don't understand why, because he's not even a good actor, nor is he that charismatic.
Kick ass It avatar btw.
