I was planning to watch One Outs after discussing a little at first but couldn't able to watch it for the rest of day and ended up watching a hollywood movie instead and replying to the people on the forum.
The Ending of this anime was so, so, impactful on me that I couldn't abled to fully describe my experience nor couldn't abled to create a forum that provides enough things to be discussed. I was just listening to the soundtracks of this anime and came across this clip
https://youtu.be/xxXJgfR4FWs in which we can see the cornered Light trying to kill Near and then suddenly Matsuda shoots him and Light starts yelling like a maniac, I think he did that inorder to scare Matsuda because we know Light can manipulate a person's psychology but Matsuda a character which I didn't like much before this scene as this character wasn't unnecessary and uncontributing but throughout the show for the most part was a guy who try to give us some comic relief and sometimes shares his brutally honest thoughts regarding "Kira" got matured in this scene and maked Light's character look more despicable than before to me. So, what you guys think about this scene and Matsuda? Also is it only me who recieved that much impact from this anime?
I can’t agree with the experience you had after the very ending of Death Note, but I shared the same feelings after Ep25! I didn’t even know that there was more to the anime for about 1-3years with N and M (which honestly shouldn’t have lived up to L‘s lvl of genius/idealism, especially bc they weren’t even planned at the beginning).
With Death Note as one of my first ”Anime“, after I found out what anime are XD, I couldn’t watch anything after DN and the bar for what niveau an anime would need, just for me to watch it, was set preetty high!
One of the problems was that there was no classical character development, as seen in other anime, except with Lights psychology after Ep25 and Matsuda since he joined the special force-until the end, which is why I didn’t rly like him. He is too different in terms of ideals and humanity, as if from another genre (that’s what Fan Service characters usually offer but he was relevant for the overall plot).
But that’s just my personal opinion out of memory, I didn’t think enough about the anime or it’s too long ago. There might be more to it, but Lights Kira side was just a new part/alter ego, no developed personality of Light (until Ep26 aired). That said, it will remain as a very memorable experience to me!
Enjoy other, similar psychothriller/crimi/dark anime and you’ll get due to it! (Monster, Zankyou no Terror, Rainbow, Elfenlied,…)
