Well actually, I agree with you. It's just that last episode that disgusted me to death when he just went ultimately... insane. well, at least he had the will to think how to let Light escape (stabbing himself with the pen - I wonder, does that pen hit a main arteria, to let all that blood come out? lol) |
| In my opinion, Light *should* have won. His plan would have worked perfectly if Mikami didn't have that one little slip up - which was totally not Light's fault. It's like they forced in that little mistake just so Light would end up dying. And yeah, I totally agree with replicating the notebook in a night. Totally not possible and Mikami should have noticed, knowing how dedicated he was to Kira's cause. |
| It all seemed so anti-climactic. I was beyond disappointed. Whether Kira won or lost made no difference to me but come the hell on. He was a mastermind and they had it go down like it did? Most disappointing ending to ANYTHING I have ever watched, read, or listened too. Which is extremely sad to me because I LOVED this series up until this weak last arc. But oh well. |
  |
| Just finished this series today and I really hated the ending actually i hated everything after episode 25 but still the way they killed off Light was just all wrong. Its like he turned into a retard. They made him so dumb I dont get it. But seriously how the hell he not kill Near. Its so simple, knowing the Death Note is fake Light should of had that Miki guy torn out a page of the Death Note and use that and kill Near. Its so simple. L shoulda won the first arc if the ending was gonna be this stupid. To beat L but to lose to a little kid? Whatever.I dont care how they ended it off but Near shoulda died too no matter what. And Misa... I just dont get why she would kill herself. It didnt look like they had sex, plus she lost most of her memory so it doesnt make sense to suicide. My ending woulda been like this... "Near you are completely inferior to L" Light then opens his watch after Miki guy yells out Nears real name and write down Nears name and kills him. And then Matsuda be like omfg Light is Kira and shoots him. The end. Even tho thats retarded its still better then there ending. Whatever I'm just pissed off at the ending. |
 |
| Lol. I still can't believe that Light lost to Near... grrr. Oh well. And am I the only one that likes Misa? @ sirvz, Misa was seriously obsessed with Light, so its understandable that she would commit suicide after Light dies. lol- Light'll be stuck in Nothingness with Misa for all of eternity. ^_^ At least Ryuuks still around being bored. |

| OMFG I JUST WIS?H I HAD A DEATHNOTE REALLY!!!! after seeing this anime even if there were 100 L out there i couldnt possible get caught :) I was tottally in Kiras side and i HATE HATE HATE HATE NEAR!!!! He pissed me from the 1st time i saw him really... i actually liked mello and i believe that if mello survived and near died te ending would be 2 times netter... i reall believe that light should have won that little brat and he would if he was alone... But mello gave up hes life to help that idiot... in the end the cooperated damn it.... I really believe that the world Kira would do would be better ( i dont have any accidents nor i was bullied in school or something i really believe that) and the fact that they ried to stop him so had made me constantly hate the producures cause deep insie i always knew that he would die in the end... Though i was really surpried when L died... Concludion:I HATE NEAR I HATE NEAR I HATE NEAR |
 |
| Yes, I hate Near too. It pisses me off that Light lost to Near. >.< |
| Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Yagami should've won; he was able to beat L, who was much better than Near, in my opinion. This just proves that the bad guy never wins. But MAN to pull that off for 6 years? No normal human could ever do that. |
 |
| I'm with the rest of the people who would have loved if the anime ended with the first season with light and misa ruling together.. THAT would be an original ending and all would (at least I :P) LOVE IT !! :D Now we get just another typical ending... I guess same will happen to code geass as light and lelouch are long lost brothers and the thought of it ending the same way pisses me off so incredibly as they will ruin another godlike series... :( |
| darn... light shoulda won... they should at least make ONE anime where the bad guy wins!!! |
     |
| I think is really a bad ending, I dont like the way Mikami died. And I want to know what happend wirh Sochiko and Sayu |
| Topics like these just make you realise how starnge the public opinion is XD I mean most of the people choose "right, but evil" over "Naive, but good" XD well I agree with you. And yes, I effin' HATE that gaki. I was a supporter for Kira, and then they come up with THAT? Maybe It would be easier to accept if it was L who won, But that brat just ticks me off. I mean through whole beginning there was logical train of thought, then at the end (from what i remember - i watched series about 2 months ago) comes Near and comes up with ideas without any reason. Like the thing with those 13-or-sumthin days without writing in diary. L was fooled, Light's father was fooled, everyone was fooled, but then comes Near and he just KNOWS that Light is guilty, and just tries to get evidence... And then at the last episode Kira looses because some moron decided to take his own course of actions. It's like... He's devoted to Kira for 30 days and does exactly what hes told, then on last day he says "no, I must help him" and screws up... No, I don't accept it -_- |

| 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! |
| The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. |
| 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... |
LonelyKokoro said: This episode is what I have longed for ever since Light killed the poor FBI agent's fiancee. I am happy about his death, and it was great to watch his defeat. 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... |
| Kirameite, yurameite, aoki yumi, maihanatsu, hana mo-e yu-kuuu!!! |
| 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!
