| I thought he was a great MC because of the contrast between his intentions and actions. One of the best evil protagonists I’ve seen I wouldn’t say I loved him though. I wanted that guy to die so much. |
| It's almost like the intentionally-flawed character was flawed or something! |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| That's how he's written. Believe it or not, but anyone who likes Light would most likely like him because of his flaws. After all, he is a very unique protagonist as he is not only an anti-hero but a downright villain and one who only really thinks from his own perspective. He's shown to not care about the emotions of others at all. This is just who he is and if you don't appreciate how awful of a person he is then you don't deserve to have him in your favourites list. I'm more of an L fan myself. |

No person that's not edgy would proclaim to be the god of the new world, that's what makes him interesting and different.zombie_pegasus said: That's how he's written.

| Don't you think? He made multiple mistakes that is why he had problems being the god of the new world. That is even why we had the famous "All according to plan" scene. Without those mistakes, he would be another guy with a plot armor. He even had to make a do-over. Flawed doesn't equal bad. In fact, it's better that you're characters are flawed, than the white Knight in shining armor. |

finzaki said: I'm not starting a debate, but why would you look up to a mass murderer who is a sociopath. Admire and great are two things that can overlaps. I see him great, because of the frequent choices he makes by that, the lack of emphaty, the same goes for L. They are 2 peas in a pod. I would say L is definitely better in terms of making moves, but Light is just so underhanded, and I love that.Gintokikachi said: Don't you think?

| Honestly, I think so too, but in another way. I just did not find him interesting as a person, but more as a fun character to be observed, really. I mean, his thought process and philosophy only extends to being a narcissistic psychopath, and in this way, he felt utterly 2 dimensional. As a protagonist, sure, he may seem groundbreaking, but as a villain, he is much too simple to be a human being with a differing rationale. He is just...insane, really. |

| Death note is one of the few anime where I see the live action better. |

| Indeed. I couldn't give Death Note more than a 7 because of the second half and because of Light. I'm more of an L guy. Similar reasons as to why I hate Lelouch. |

finzaki said: like 6 months ago, i re-watched the death note and i noted that light is a fucking edgelord, and even if i admit that he's clever sometimes he's really dumb a 40% of the time, like when he hacked his father's pc, and kills people that only the local police has knowledge and this makes that L stars to pay attetion to him; and he commmit more mistakes like in the series my question is why do people love that much this edgelord? He did that because once L challenged him directly, he put his original goal on hold in order to achieve his new goal - to beat L. It seems stupid (and in the long run - it IS stupid) to narrow down the list of suspects like that, but this way he could bait L to come out - and he succeeded in doing that. Also I love Light because he is a competent protagonist without being overpowered. In this age of useless doormat harem leads and flawless Kirito clones, that is pretty rare. He messes up, as you mentioned, but he makes really smart moves as well and they are all explained pretty well without them seeming too much of an ass-pull. |
Zelkiiro said: Literally this, we can close the thread now.It's almost like the intentionally-flawed character was flawed or something! Light's relatively easy to provoke and he takes his showdown with L personally since like 2nd episode, forgetting about his initial goal and becoming less idealistic and more obsessive and psychopathic, it's a flaw in his character that you were supposed to notice the first time you were watching DN, not a big discovery you needed to re-watch the series for. |

| Light was a nice character until that episode ,, y'know what I'm talking about |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| I liked L better. As for Light being an edgelord, he was written to be flawed. Just seeing the number of edgelords floating around in life, I'm sure a significant amount of the populations would immediately become much more of an edgelord if they were ever granted the same (or heck even less) power than Light was. |

| Because he's an edgelord. Literally. That's the main reason everyone likes him. |

spuukiebuugi said: Always preferred L to Light anyway… and the supporting cast to Light tend to do that with anime “Oh, this is your MC? Well fuck me sideways, I prefer that guy that gets not much screentime!” Show had a good premise and interesting atmosphere, in the very least even if Light was not my favorite lel That's actually the default fan opinion actually it seems (57,000+ vs 38,000+ favorites) |
| In Death Note Light is the main character, but also the show's antagonist. It's only natural to want to want to see him taken down once you see how far he eventually falls into megalomania and compromises his own morals. |

| I don't like light that much , I prefer the real edgelord "Lelouch" , pufff, Light's edginess is nothing compared to Lelouch's . |
| I can never get behind such a twisted protagonist so.............yeah, I agree. Not much of a Light fan. lol |
  |
| Same..I also think he isn't that great and I hate him! the only great thing about him is his voice.. |
