| Needed more swimming lessons. Also, I liked the manga ending much better. More dramatic and you didn't feel bad for Light at all when he died. Also, it explained what happened to the other characters as well. |
 |
| the ending was too sad :( i wish they would have made the series longer |
| I just got done, watched it in two days. But L, shit he was such an interesting character. I know many wanted Light to win, I just wanted the first L to finally get to Kira! Big L fan...by the way :D obviously they had more time to add depth to him than Near. I was for sure thinking Light was going to get away in the end i'm glad he didn't after all he killed the real L, though I hate that the suppose successor's had to do it. Giovanni being able to copy and make a perfect death note in one single day yup thats duable...right. But it was decent ending i liked how light started to call out the names of people who always where by his side, now he expects help, yeah right thats a bit selfish. But i dont understand the way Mikami died? Almost forgot for some reason i really liked Rem she dies for Misa but Misa kills herself...why! Hopefully their will be a special wish to know what specific characters are up to. But I can't really complain all 37 episodes got me anxiously waiting for the next unexpected move ;) |

I forgot if it was a special or what not but keep your eyes open. It's said to be coming out sometime in August. And like I said, it will show what happened with the remaining charaters. :) Oh nice... lol... but do any of the remaining characters matter? =/ (j/k) ahh yes, i was considering the fact if he where to be a shinigami. I would just think he's bored and lonely idk maybe wants sweets, apples...hmmm Same here!! In that episode when matsuda saw sayu he really was blushing, looks like he was interested.. A special huh? I wonder what'll be like.. Baman said: Aishiteruze said: That's a good thought actually, he probably will become a shinigami.. since people who are death note users go to "nothingness" instead of heaven or hell. Who knows? That was the first thing I thought of scince Ryuk mentioned it in the first volume... I kind of hoped to see Light waking up in the Shinigami realm, feeling slightly bored, and with two DeathNotes...That would make the ending so much more brilliant XD I agree, that would have been so cool as an ending! |

| Hmmm Iono, still... er... It was... sort of expected, Good always wins... And, I hated Kira LONG time ago when he started playing with misa >:0 Thats why... YEAH DIE >:O!!! |
 |
| If L would win, I'd say "OK". But I really hate Near, because she's the copy of L. And she beated Light. Argh! Hate hate hate... |

It's a pity L couldn't witness it anymore... wouldnt you have killed that fiancee if you where Light? i think yes because you have no other choice if you dont wanna go to jail at least he died how he wanted ... not by human hands Why do all see Light as the bad guy? I see him as a martyr who died while trying to make a rotten world a better place! :/ |

Needed more swimming lessons. YOU ARE NOT SOME CAT DROWNING IN A PUDDLE! Uh, great ending. I almost cried. Light, you are the most magnificent of bastards. *wipes tear* |
 |
| Misa kills herself? Where have you seen that? O_O In manga she can be can after Light's death as the leader of followers of Kira. I guess Rem said once that without Light she would lose reason to live but I've never had idea she commited suicide? You sure of it? Or just speculating? |
 |
| to tell you the truth, i was disappointed when they i hoped that the series will end there, i hated the ending, but it seemed fair enough. because the theme that i saw was: evil must end, and kira had no right to meddle in how things were.. so even though i wanna vote 1/5, i'll give it an OK |
 |
| Meh... It's like a lot of anime - starts off really strong, and introduces some really incredible ideas, possibilities, characters and mystery. But it's always at a cost. Imagine yourself as the writer. You have to wrap this thing up in a meaningful way??? Are you kidding me? How do you tie it all up MEANINGFULLY, and SATISFY everybody and everything. Look at the TV show, Lost - it suffers from the same thing. But 37 was ok. And yeah - narrative speaking Light must die. So at least they didn't cheap out. |
 |
| Throughout the series you find yourself rooting for Light, but in the end, you know what he does is wrong and you know what his fate is bound to be. The series did get a little weaker after L had died, but the last episode pulled through. Light really was crazy and this episode really did prove. I liked how it ended though, it was appropriate and sends out the right message. Do you think Misa died though? I mean she was standing on the edge of a building and all. I expected her to spontaneously sing again because she was wearing the right outfit with all the makeup. It's nice to know L, Near and Mellow all played an important part to Light's capture, but the only thing that bothered me was that Near got to live. I mean, everyone else died! Anyway, this was a fantastic series for so many reasons, it gets a 10/10 from me! |
  |
| Omg that was intense... seeing Light acting the way he did at the end was shocking but yet amazing and his laugh was just err... beautiful? i thought it was a really good ending that Kira lost, kind of went against what a lot of people thought and hoped for. Even though i accidentally discovered that Light looses and is killed by ryuk, it was still pretty extreme |

I see him as a martyr who died while trying to make a rotten world a better place! :/ Then why would he kill innocent FBI agents who had done nothing wrong, they were just doing their job. Or taking advantage of Takeda and killing her when he had no more use for her? Or calling his own father a fool for dying while doing what he believed in? Light was evil and I became giddy when Ryuk took his life. I was worried Ryuk wouldn't show up but he thankfully did and played a major part in the end. The way Light was caught seemed awfully easy but his death is certainly one of the most memorable anime deaths I've seen. I knew Light died ahead of time, but it was handled in a way that fitted the series perfectly. And I knew L would find a way into the final episode! Yes! Overall, great series in the end. Final score for the series: 9 out of 10. |

| I think it was amazing that the dub's version of light's laugh was even creepier than the sub's. |
 |
| Light's laugh = LOL |

| The only person i really liked in this anime was Misa! To sad that after they showed the scene with the parrot she was already dead...something like a doll.... The first OP was way better, even though the concept art form the seocnd was good at some times. I still wanted L to win, because maybe like that Misa could have gotten livelier... but afte the call which confirmed that the date wouldnt change was made it was already obvious that L had lost... but whyyyyy In the end misa is left alone like a doll in the train.. and commits suicide... |

| I would have liked it better if Light had stayed alive and Near died. |
| it was ok. i wish there had been a more complicated plan at the end to finish off the series. i also wish that Light would have one. |
 |
| I liked it!! But it was kind of a sad ending! I kinda feel sorry for Light (even though he was evil, he though it was the right thing!) I also feel sorry for Matsuda though. Because he trusted Light, and so during the ending he kinda went crazy!  |
| |
| I'm not a fan of this episode. The show was effin' awesome until L died, and for a while after it was fun watching the aftermath, but Near just pissed me off and he didn't deserve to win. |

I knew Light died ahead of time, but it was handled in a way that fitted the series perfectly. That was exactly what I was thinking! At first when Light got shot I felt this ... happy remorse. Like I got caught doing something bad, and I was happy about it almost. Matsuda is one of my favorites. He reminded me of a baby. So very innocent he was. Okay I was happy at first. Then I watched him running down the caged fence ... I started crying. This is the guy that I was following for 37 weeks ... and he's dying. Sure, he killed my favorite character of all time but ... still. :_: I was expecting guns blazing in your face Action and music for the last episode. A blood curdling scream when Light dies. Nothing. .. And it was absolutly brilliant. DN brought up very twilighted feelings in me ... An awesome anime for anyone. netoelgrande said: The only person i really liked in this anime was Misa!

| Awwh, I'm sad that it's all over ;__; Light should have won! >__< I agree. Long Live Kira <3 Again, great episode apart from the animation. I loved watching Light go all crazy xD could really feel the emotion there. This is one of my favourite animes now. Definitely. I'll watch it again next year :P |
| Light Fan <3 |
| I loved that a character riddled with at least half a dozen bullet wounds, including one at point blank range to the chest, was still able to outrun and evade three police officers. High comedy. Overall, a great final episode to an outstanding series. I just wish they had condensed "Death Note" to about 24 episodes or so; that was the original plan, but the incredible success of the series prompted more. The new, borderline filler episodes were still very good, but they failed to reach the quality of the first 15. In fact, Episode 7 was the highlight of the entire series. |
| I would of rather had L win honestly I think after L died alot of the suspense died also... |
  |
| it was a little boring after L's death and i wanted to believe till very end that he would be alive,but unfortunately...i liked moment when Light sees L in the end,it left impression that no matter what he still felt a little atachment to L |
| i Was happy that Light died since he killed people who aren't criminals either I saw the final episode the first time in subbed last year but the dubbed version was better |
 |
| I agree with most of the DN society when they say it should have ended at 26... Its almost like they did the last 11 episodes for money. The ending was satisfactory at best, BUT considering the awesomeness of the first 26 episodes it could have been a lot better. Even a plot with L somehow mysteriously coming back to life and Light having to kill him again would have been better. I hated Near and Mello... Near needs to get locked up in his play pen with all his little figures and Mello needs to get a kick in the balls, seriously =P. |

| i got a sense of meh from episode 25 to the end from DN. it was a good series though i did not like the final 12 episodes surprisingly. so 7/10 |
| Death Note ended 12 episodes too late Death Note ended 12 episodes too early Both are completely valid points IMO |
| it was an ending that i probably like most. 'the' ending for me:)) but wished our hero L wouldnt die:/ |
 |
| 4 words: IN. YOUR. FACE. LIGHT *dies of laughter* I bet you can guess which character I hate >_> |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| I started watching the anime when I reached volume 10 of the manga. I bought the last two volumes the other day, read them and just marathoned the last four episodes. I have to say, I prefer the ending to the manga with Light begging and screaming when he realizes HE'S going to die. Very effective. That's not to say this ended badly, the sunset road and dying on the steps was very dramatic. To all the people who complain that the series died with L, I'd like to say that I disagree. Near and Melo are basically the two halves of L separated; we have on one hand the calm, calculating side that requires a complete victory over his enemy and on the other, we have a fast-acting, immoral side that will use any means necessary to win, even going so far as acts of injustice. Hell, the split-personality is even manifested in their 'hobbies'. L likes sweet stuff, right? However, he likes sweet stuff he can play with. Now, Near likes toys (That he can play with) and Melo likes chocolate (Which is sweet). It's not a case of Near beating Light, it's a case of L beating him, just as two different people. |
Boursk said: though I just hate Near, I didn't want HIM to win i was pissed, he annoyed the hell out of me and I wante dhim to die Mwahahaha xD Anyway, even though I knew that Light is gonna die I cried my eyes out T_T Since Light is my fav character I thought the end kinda sucked... :/ And Mikami isn`t stupid... Its really strange that he didn`t notice that the Death Note was fake :/ |

| Maybe because Light died....? ichigakuren said: wew.,.,., some voted they HATED death note??? whoa.... Are they out of their minds?? |
