| Everyone feels so much dumber, especially Misa who full on feels like the flanderized version that appears in parodies While Near was a decent new antagonist, he absolutely does not hold a candle to L L's dynamic with Light, the whole cat and mouse spiel, was beyond engaging. Literally every single twist and turn no matter how insane had me pulled to the screen. Beyond that, the friendship(?) between them led to an absolute gut wretching feeling once L finds out the truth and sees the monster that is Kira on Light's face. Near just manages to outplay Light pretty easily all things considered and just beats him the fuck out, which...I mean, yeah, that's the good ending but...all I could think was "Is that it? This is how it ends?" I have not read the manga yet, but I do know it has a different ending...I hope it's more satisfying... Overall it just feels like a serious dive into trash territory. with every passing episode I just felt like straight up skipping until the end. Everything just felt so damn boring, Light and everyone else became such idiots and I didn't feel anything about these deaths. It felt like undeserved drama. The only part that I truly enjoyed was when we see L one last time as Light dies, but only because it tickles to Fujo part in my brain |

| That's like the most common complaint about Death Note. |

That's like the most common complaint about Death Note.
| @Piromysl Is it? I don't interact much with the fanbase Most of the complaints I see of the series is people either disliking Light or disliking Misa |

| completely agree... it's like Moriarty being captured by Inspector Lestrade instead of Sherlock. it just don't work in my opinion. A better ending would have been smth like a pre recorded vid by L or some type of after death checkmate where L beat Light even after death. This would contradict everything Light does as he destroys problems rather than working them out which come back to bite him in the end. I prefer if L knew the entire time. |

| I am one of the very few people who actually liked the second part as much as first part. I really liked how Mello and Near kind of worked together. Them being opposite personalities but being successors of L did what L couldn't on his own. Ending was great too which was a part of the second part obviously. |
| I don't think it's bad. I do think it is rushed, because the anime skips over a lot of the manga's details. |

| Yes, that’s the general consensus. |

The only part that I truly enjoyed was when we see L one last time as Light dies, but only because it tickles to Fujo part in my brain I also totally agree. I learned in a video that the author of Death Note didn't wanted to drag the manga after L's death, but the editor or the publisher asked him to make it dragged out which make the ending the author didn't wanted in an ideal scenario. |
| It's important to note that the adaptation of death note after L's death is significantly worse than it was before. A lot of the problems in the anime come from that. To give an idea L's death happens right at the halfway point in the manga in chapter 58 of 108. Meanwhile it happens in episode 25 of 37 in the anime. The post L content should have had been spread out over an additional 12 or 13 episodes than it got. That's the big reason why the characters and plot beats feel simplified. It's because they indeed are. |
Rest in Piece, Miura. |
| It lowered in quality for sure but I wouldn’t say it was unwatchable, I just feel like it was predictable how it was going to end and that it was a bit pathetic how light lost a mind battle to kids that weren’t as good as L |
| Yes, most people don't like the time skip (At least I know a lot of people who don't like it) and don't really like Near, I myself would have wished that there hadn't been a 2nd part and that L had defeated Light. |
| The second half is so bad, I swear... |
| In general I remember it feeling stupid to have Near solve the Kira case when he was not as interesting, and while L was set up to be extraordinarily smart. The show would have been perfect with either L beating Kira or Kira beating L and it ending. It was almost like the author wanted Kira to beat L since Kira/light is the "main character", but then was like oh that's kind of a bad look. might not wanna let the villain win. and along comes Near lol. Ending was just silly. |

| I enjoy it. It’s just different from the pre time skip, so I enjoy them for different reasons |
| I also enjoyed it and its also way shorter as I remember correctly, right? i think its pretty good in showing Lights downfall. During the first half you could always argue between the views of L and Light, but in the last arc he got completely corrupted and did cut off all his bonds which was very interesting for mento watch. But I can understand fhat people do not like if as much as the former arcs. |
| No i think L's fans just lost interest after L's death but the anime was great before L's death and stayed great after L's death. |
| Finished reading the manga...what the fuck, that ending was even worse??? |

| Almost everything that happened after L died was bad. |
