I disliked deathnote's 2nd half. However I liked the ending. Light goes batshit crazy and its gets all crazy how a character with so much charisma and formal appearence lose his shit and dies disgracefully.

I like the actual ending in that Light Dies, but the fact he is foiled by the dweeby brothers is what gets me. I feel they should’ve had L be the one to solve it and have a different investigator die halfway through.. idk though

I disliked the second half of death note but loved the ending. It was a fitting end to a monster like Light, he grew conceited and formed a god-complex when he never held the true power to the death note. Plus I hated Light (he’s a great anti-hero and villain though) so it was very satisfying to see him get what was coming to him.

Exactly. Death Note’s ending was a perfect thematic conclusion that graced its comparably weaker final third following L’s death. I loved it. Tied together the whole story so well.

I actually really, really like it! A big part of the Death Note series was L and Light’s cat and mouse dynamic of them both trying to outsmart each other, and as endearing and enjoyable as it was, it couldn’t have gone on forever and ever, one of them had to croak eventually.

Also, in my opinion, the show would’ve gotten a whole lot worse if Light actually went through with his goal, there was no way he would’ve actually become “God” of his new idealised world, if he did it would be EXTREMELY unrealistic and just......kind of corny.

What's your problem with it ?

I think the ending is brilliant. Yeah second half is weaker but the ending is really good and I'm very satisfied with it
Just because you are doing something for someone else doesn't make it right. Kindness and beauty can sometimes become cruel.

Well this ending wasnt amazing. In overall, the whole second part was weak. But it could be lot worse, I am still happy about this "average" ending.

The ending itself " light dying" is not bad on paper and was hinted at since the first episode but the execution was horrible! I always try to forget that the last arc exists

I actually really liked the ending, it was great to see how megalomaniac and paranoid Light had become, and we hadn’t realised it until this very last episode haha.. Looking backwards, everything started going down for him when he met Misa ^^

yes!! it tells the people watching not to do what light did. ever. recover from your god complex before it gets that bad. it also shows that no man can become god and that everyone is equal.

I love death note but the 2nd half of death note was really boring the series went downhill after L died and Light just got dumber when L died as well he could’ve easily killed near and mello if he was the Smart Light that went against L in the first half of death note also Light wouldn’t be Dumb enough to give a death note to a murderous psychopath like mikimi or however you spell his name lol trash character and was the reason why Light died

The ending saved an otherwise forgettable second half for me. I loved how everything in the last 2 episodes are resolved, barring one thing. Also, the voice acting in English for Light in the last episode was so fucking good.

Honestly, I hated episodes 36 and 37 (or rather everything after 25th episode, but those were the worst).
It felt unreal that someone like Light, a mastermind, would lose it and just burst into laugh right in front of L v2.0, even though he wasn't 100% sure of his victory.
Of course, nearly half a year after I watched Death Note it feels obvious that someone as insane as Kira would at some point lose their mind and do exactly what he did, but back then I was like "really, Light? Seriously?"
However, I liked the finale of the finale (bruh), when Ryuk killed Raito. I mean, we were told that he would one day take Kira's life, and yet we've all either took it as a joke or simply forgot about it. For me, that's the best type of plot twist.

I personally think that there was no other way to end it I mean good always prevails and light beat L but to beat his successor is somewhat of a stretch. In all honesty light had to get some form of punishment for the things he did so I don't get why people can't except it. Anyway I'm a sucker for endings that leave a sense of unfulfillment like I absolutely loved original FMA ending

I liked the ending, light went insane and kind of lost it, and it was actually my one of the most favorite parts of the show. However, I kind of wish that it should have been L instead of Near and Mello to defeat Light. But for me, it was still a great ending.

My big problem with the ending is that Light didn't lose because he was outsmarted, but because Mikami fucked up and gave the investigators an edge when they were gambling it all. The thing is that Light doesn't really make a mistake or gets overwhelmed by his situation besides for Mikami's big fuck up. To be fair, the whole last third of the show was poorly plotted specially compared to what came before, but that thing specially got me.
Besides that, If you ignore how Light ends up getting caught, the fact that he gets overwhelmed and with nowhere to go, and in this situation reveals himself to the investigators and for the first time confronts his adversaries with his true ideals and belifs only to get mocked. I think that element was perfect. As said by previous comments on this thematically it works, it makes the story come full circle, and is what was hinted at from the beginning.

I loved the ending, it perfectly closed the story of almost every character, from light ending up as the main villian to Misa committing sucide. People say the 2nd half of death note was bad, now that does NOT mean it was bad bad, it was bad ONLY compared to its first part, and obv when u compare something to an absolute masterpiece, nothing will look good. The 2nd half was very much still top tier if we look at it on its own. It's just that the first season was so good that even a slight drop in quality would not be digestable by the fans.

I honestly think it's the perfect conclusion to Death Note. It has a form of tragic irony and I think it lived up to all the previous buildup of ideas ect. People who are mad that Light lost just miss the entire point of the show.

If by ending you mean the final episode, then I enjoyed it and I find it fitting for the story. If you mean the final arc then no. Everything after episode 25 with the exceprion of the finale mentioned above is horrible.
Man, listen to them tear into me. Good thing I'm used to it.

Personally the whole "fall of a god" vibe that the ending had made the series for me. Light snapping and everything crumbling for him so dramatically showed how fragile his whole set up was and I loved it.

I know that not everyone like the ending but if light is not punished what just he did than Deathnote is not gonna be on a no.1 spot.its a perfect ending . There are few anime where lead character is dead and ending is perfect Death note is one of them.
