The moment he fell for L's trap when he was he called out by him on a live broadcast in the first episodes of the series. Just by attempting to kill a detective on live television, L found out that Light: 1. Lives in specific region of Japan 2. Can't kill a person without knowing their face and name 3. Isn't at all omnipotent and has limitations of the information he can gather 4. Hasn't been going on his murder spree for very long 5. His first victim was a test, notifying L that he's human 6. Kira exists and that the deaths of these criminals are murders, not accidents or natural causes, all with being present.

That's how. One simple mistake and L managed to figure all that out.

Lack on patience. Killing Lind L. Taylor was too rush.

I have to give credit to the nip that wrote this.
The first half of deathnote went way beyond any expectation not just for anime but for a mass consumed visual medium.

It's in universe rules are very well thought out.
Did the writer/s change halfway through the story or something?
It went from a battle of the minds to stereotypical anime thriller and the careful attention to detail and planning seems like it was thrown out.

Giovanni is impressive, he did it all in one night.

this show is a solid 6/10

Is that the guy who crushed by an ambulance

I don't hate the second half as much as other people do, but I think the way the plot progressed, with Misa getting the eyes and a shinigami and having to send the death note to the yotsuba group guy, they basically had to kill L. L wanted nothing less than 100% proof that Light was Kira, which wasn't possible unless he managed to ensure Misa would die. So L had to die, but Light is not supposed to win. I can't picture the firat half happening any other way. And the writer didn't know what to do from there on, but the final two episodes are great.

That would've been a good ending had that happened.

What else do you like?

I agree that L should have died but I just don't like the way the events leading to the stories end progressed even though I think the ending is acceptable.

I think the end should have been more humiliating for Light.
I would have made it so he was exposed to a mass audience so he could be thrust back down to earth and realize that he was not an all powerful god but rather a weak human just like the rest.

I know that's what happened in the end but I wish it was emphasized even more.

Crayon Shin Chan

Got too paranoid. No one could have tied all the Kira stuff to him had he kept his damn mouth shut.

it was supposed to end earlier but it was too popular

MUH HUBRIS, the classic killer of overpowered antagonists.

>I would have made it so he was exposed to a mass audience

He would've liked it and he would probably have supporters cheering that they finally met "Kira"

Because the writers decided he should lose and near should win. Problem is they didn't bother making it make sense at all. He should have either lost to L, or the show should have ended when he killed L. Near/mello are both garbage. The only cool part of the post 25 episodes is how light kills his dad and Based Matsuda merking his ass.
I'm just glad that it was Matsuda who ended it, Light deserved better than an execution by NU-L

This.
Light's ego got in the way of his world domination and jr created a domino effect that cost his total power

He worked too closely to the people trying to catch him instead of running away from them as far as possible making him a prime suspect which makes him a fucking idiot.

I'm rewatching the show right now. I'd say the biggest problem with the secons half is pacing. Shit like Light's dad being suicidal and just accepting the eye deal with no debate from Light or other characters felt extremely rushed. Near and Mello are also pretty lame. Mello was kinda interesting in how he looks at scenarios with a criminal mindset, but it isn't enough. Near is just a clone of L, nothing more to say.

>neither casual or weeb
These are the same people desu. There probably aren't any more actual factual "otaku" left on this site, let alone Yea Forums

Let's be very frank:

Season 1, despite questionable writing shortly after the beginning such as Light's motive, the existence of L, the way the pacing begins to drag, has one of the most ingeniously original premise for the anime, and soon becomes some of the best anime ever made.

Season 2, and 3, while decent, are very, very inferior, it's only a shame that the writer was able to come up with an ingenious premise, and the excellent story exploring the dynamic of two opposing forces centered on two individuals, but he couldn't find a way to adequately continue the story after Light join forced with L.

The premise of the second season is far less compelling, and while we return to the intensity of the first season in the third, the utter absurdities and convolutions involve come very close to totally ruining the effect.

So, I suppose it's really a matter of preference whether one prefers the second or third season, but it should long ago have been decided the general consensus on Death Note: it's a story with an ingenious premise, resulting in an battle of the wills that is like no previous other in fiction, or since, which is was ruined in its second parts because the author was not able to maintain the initial quality.

The merits and defects of Death Note can be discussed, but we should all be able to degree with the aforementioned summary.

Unironically good taste. Makes me think my disdain for almost all anime, (even though I'm sucker for it), but how much I respect Death Note is justified.

Light fucked up when he started aligning himself with mental retards like Misa and Mikami

i liked mikami

He should have fucked Misa

He became too reliant on outsourced work through Mikami since he had to keep his double-life an even closer secret towards the end, and didn't see the replica Note trick coming. Granted, it was kinda bullshit writing to have him done in by an exact fake.

Watched an MCU movie and his IQ dropped.

GEVANNI YOU FUCK

What would have happened if Light won?

There's an argument to be made that as an impulsive 17 year old his mustache-twirling "scheme" to get close to L and kill him was really just him doing damage control for the horrible mistake of killing Taylor.

The movie (jap one) ending was so much better than the shit we got in anime. L playing the ultimate gambit with his own life to win is fucking genius as opposed to DUDE WE SWITCHED THE NOTES LMAO GOTCHAAA

The ending is so depressing

He was a cheater that used a Death Note to make Mikami act out of character.

Totalitarian regime over the world, as he had planned. In the manga I recall him ranting to himself about how close he was to revealing his true identity once the obstacles of his fellow cops and the SPK were removed.

nature's first green is gold,
it's hardest hue to hold,
her early leaf's a flower,
but only so an hour,
then leaf subsides to leave,
and adam turns to grief,
the sun goes down today,
nothing gold can stay.

O MY PERFECT HANDWRITING

That's disputable but also my leading theory for the bullshit of the ending. It would explain why he was so hasty to destroy the Note once Light was dead, to conceal the evidence, and in the anime you can clearly see Teru's name written in the book when he flips it open to show Light he had won.

>Ohba described Light as a victim of the Death Note, with Light's life being "ruined" once he obtained it. According to Ohba, Light was "a young man who could understand the pain of others" when he first encountered the Death Note. Ohba said that if Ryuk never developed an interest in the human world, Light would have become "one of the greatest police leaders in the world" who, with L, worked against criminals.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this. And Ryuk opting out of helping him just made me feel bad, deserved as it was.

I don't think there is a better duel of the geniuses anime. Monster comes close, but what other genius battle animes are there?

Sounds like he's backpedalling, probably because his editor told him that demonizing overachieving students isn't good for his image. It's apparent from the story that Light never actually gave two shits about saving lives, he murdered decoy L without thinking twice.

He had a superiority complex that only got bigger when he succesfully defeated L, from the FBI arc onwards (specially the murders of Raye Penber and Naomi Misora), we realize that Light/Kira wasn't doing this for the safety of the people people but just to feed his own ego. And that's just what Near and Mello used in order to defeat him.

He lost because L was so far beyond his level, and he only won because the writing restricted L and gave Light cheat codes.
Everything Light did initially was reasonable and fitting, but Light could not avoid the evidence generated by the reality of his situation. Which put a great detective like L on the right path
>Light found the Deathnote
>Naturally he like every human being on the planet would test it out first
>So a local news story about a guy taking hostages led to Light's first test
Everything after that test would taint Light's attempts to be God. God's don't accidentally reveal their humanity. Light did. It was not Light's well thought out killings that did him in, it was his initial test as a human that did. And every time he acted human with the death note he further confirmed L's suspicion. He was cursed from the start.

The only question is how L lost? And that is mostly because a human detective versus supernatural enemies is almost certain to lose. He did enough ground work for Near

What else could you really do with a death note besides kill criminals?

I would write down my crushes boyfriends over and over again until she realizes I’m the only male who doesn’t die around her and she sort of forced into dating me

Jojo Part 2

If they wanted someone to come after L it should have been either an FBI agent or some intelligence operative. Not some random super orphan

>And if Near represents a more vengeful approach than surely a cold blooded operative trained to kill could do just that
>Instead we get another autist who somehow acts equal if not better to L despite needing pure luck to get anywhere

Test its limits obviously
You have 23 days of behavior control and potential narrative to write. The obvious option is to acquire wealth and power through this means. Focus on politics with a death note and eliminate your/your countries enemies to become almost a god without some bullshit justice complex

kill politicians

I wouldn't have the balls to do shit with it, probably would just sell it for a couple billion dollars on black market.

Then you would probably die from the buyer trying to erase his trace.

>Oh lets do some religious symbolism despite not having a fucking clue what we are doing
>Lets also appeal to the worst part of the fandom while we are at it
Do they miss the part where L was serious about wanting to sentence Kira to death and his friendship to Light was more like a respectful antagonism? The foot washing scene only makes sense if L did something to directly ensure his victory over Light, not simply expecting to die

Nobody is perfect.

cartoons are not art

The author originally intended for the series to end after L dies, it was supposed to be tragedy for justice, basically the author saying that the higher purpose of Light's killings were a psychological statement of how people would feel towards a killer like Kira, and how Light winning was more symbolism of the public's perception of justice.

This show would be god tier without Misa, pre-Misa episodes are like the equivalent of the first 3 episodes of Samurai Jack season 5

The qualities you are giving to him to prove his intelligence are axiomatic. Those don't prove his objective intelligence those prove his fictional universe success. His real mistake was literally from his first kill. His fictional accomplishments in tennis prove nothing

"no" The fact he was stupid enough to manage to get caught despite him having a magical item that kills from any distance without leaving any kind of trace shows how fucking stupid he is.

This is where Light fails. He cannot transition his absolutely nominative power into real power

>lets use local police reports

Dumb fag could have literally just used international news etc. And killed people at random at any place in the world

I've seen lots of people that are fans of it. I personally watched the first episode but found it kind of boring, I heard it gets better later but I'm not sure if that's just a meme.

Shit fucked that up didn't mean to quote the second guy

There are lots of wholesome characters and a very wholesome protagonist and it's really enjoyable watching him grow

Uaing the death note for personal gain easily exposes you as kira. They had no problem figuring out someone in the yotsuba group was kira when all their competitors conveniently started dieing. Using it that way is basically suicide, because without anonymity you get fucked.

I haven't watched a lot of this kind of anime, but it feels like a lot of authors somehow do an even worse job than Stephen King at wrapping up and ending their stories.

Shit seems to fall apart once the protagonist is finally in the position of power, like they've won but don't know what to do next.

He didnt
The original Death Note ended when Kira killed L.
The story arc after that is purely bonus material the author was forced to write because the magazine editor said he would be blacklisted if he doesnt keep milking the series.

Misa Misa, who in addition to be retarded is also an extremely annoying and unrealistic fan service (incel service) character

Correct. He murders a lot of innocents whose only "crime" was trying to unmask L and never has the slightest remorse

I felt bad for Light, he just wanted to make a better world and he was making a better world even if he became a cunt because of all that power.

Because they're based off mangas. They get forced by editors to continue stories well beyond their shelf life to keep readers.

Also most don't plan out their stories and just make shit up as they go along.

It’s a fundamental problem with serial storytelling, a publisher or editor will make an author continue the series for money if it’s a hot product at the expense of the work. See Bleach.

The first kill wasn’t a mistake, only L ever made a guess connecting it to Light, much later in the series. Killing a body double was a big mistake, especially since Light knew that an investigation had literally nothing to actually go on other than mysterious deaths all over the world. His haste cost him. That said I wonder what L would have done if Light never targeted the double?

That would be a really cool movie or something. Have Light always lose in the end though.

I reckon he only became a shitbag because of the ridiculous pressure L was putting on him, too.
Light did nothing wrong.

he got too cocky

By the writing going to shit. It's all fanfiction after L dies.

The author was FORCED to continue making it because it was selling like hotcakes and because yadda yadda can't let the evil guy win.

He had to make a bunch of stuff on the spot and it ended up affecting the quality of the work. Until L's death it's a 9/10 anime and everything after that is like a 5-6/10. Really sad.

>>Wasnt a Mary sue
>>Literally picks out X kira after watching a few talk shows
how did he do that

L was the same though. Every major break in the case was a shot in the dark. They just didn't want to spend too much time on a literally who side character.

kill trump lol

Honestly I thought the ending was pretty much on the mark. He just finally gets caught out and goes nuts like a typical delusional murderer. The whole point is that he wasn't a god or anything, but just a typical criminal, even if he had otherworldly means. So it makes sense for him to go down like a typical criminal.

I'd honestly just kill all the leaders from all world powers that contribute to make the world a worse place

So Trump, Kim-Jong Un, Winnie the Pooh, Maduro, Netanyahu, and as much as it saddens me, Putin.

And I would only stop once a benevolent leader occupies the power vaccums. Then my job would be done and I would probably an hero while dying thinking that I made the world a better place

I wonder how much the manga writers regret not ending the manga at L's death

That story would be remembered as on of the most groundbreaking and unforgiving in the history of fiction, now DN is just remembered as "great until L's death, shit after"

Don't you have swimming practice?

By refusing to lay low and make himself harder to find. After killing Lind L. Taylor, he started to expose himself on purpose to lure L in.

Bullshit, L analyzed Kira's activity and was able to narrow him down to a few people. Even Yea Forums autists could do that.

I'd probably be too worried about my soul. I know it's revealed the rule's fake, but my paranoia about such things would prevent me from doing anything until Ryuk or whoever clarified.

Just reminds me how shit the MU rule is. It just undercuts so many things in the show.

Editor had higher power level

>airs country-wide broadcast requiring the cooperation of not only the police force and the tv station but every other media outlet to coordinate
>whole thing hinges on Kira tuning in at that exact moment and the assumption that he can kill people instantly
>deduces that supernatural powers exist based on timing of killings alone
>knows Misa is second Kira within a day of meeting her
>continues to believe that Light is Kira even after he made him spend a month in solitary confinement and had his dad pull a gun on him

I gave it a rewatch not too long ago. It holds up, but goddamn that second arc after L dies fucking drags on, especially when you know the ending is gonna be shitty

You can control people for almost a month, so it's pretty easy to gain some money from it
>Find a rich criminal
>Write that they take all of their money to some abandoned warehouse and commit suicide
>Go and collect the cash
The only problem would be actually using the money. You can't put it in your bank without the irs wondering where you got hundreds of thousands from

Reminder that the BEST way to watch this show is to watch up until L's death, and then watch this clip from the OVA youtube.com/watch?v=tX1_K-mUH94&t=124s and then call it quits.
Perfectly kino ending, just as the author intended.

>You can clearly see Teru's name written in the book
That's hardly "disputable" then, it's pretty much confirmed in the anime canon then that Near killed Mikami.

based
reminder that youre an incel if you like any other anime besides death note and some other few like fma:b or code geass

I was thinking the same thing, that clip is pure kino, ignore everything after L dies.

>The foot washing scene only makes sense if L did something to directly ensure his victory over Light,
He did. In the very next scene he is having an inmate write a name, and then not write another one for the 13 day "time limit" which was a fake rule. When that inmate survives, it would show that Light put himself in jail on purpose to throw them off. It would be a 100% slam dunk.

He even said, "we'll be parting ways soon"
He either thought he had won or that Light would kill him soon. It has to be one of those two.

t. normie

Because writers wanted him to. If you had a supernatural item that could kill anybody from any distance in any manner you chose, in a world with a population of over 7 billion. You'd have to be a complete retard to be caught. It's not like the authorities would peice together that the murders were orchestrated with a magic book.

It's a shame it's not included in the series though, it makes L's death have a bit more gravitas.

So was he bullshitting about death note users forfeiting the afterlife?

This. I specifically rewatched the last two episodes today and his name isn't there.

he hacked his dads PC and L noticed that Kira had access to police files
this is literally the only reason he got caught. at this point L only knew he was in Kanto which has millions of habitants

it ended with L's death for me. after that, it went too complicated for it's own good.

He dies like a complete bitch in the manga. The anime has that kino scene where he's running on the rooftop and sees his past self passing him by which shows how much he's changed ever since he started using the notebook.

>tv is art
rotflmaotbqph

Rent free

the manga ends way stronger with light's breakdown and the shot of his followers still worshipping him after he dies, as well as the followup with near set 10 years later or whatever. that said, light losing is an asspull and a half and there is a fair decline in quality following l's death.

this. same thing with something high level politicians. I just wanna see some chaos

He was a big guy

I really liked this episode a lot, made me realize how good the show was

Didn't Light's own actions and decisions result in him needing to give a Death Note to Mikami though? Coordinating multiple actions from afar is impossible, Light couldn't even control Misa in the first arc and didn't learn his lesson.

His HOOBRIS done him in

Source?

It's less of a failing on Light's part and more of an asspull on L's behalf. He somehow KNOWS Light is the killer for no reason other than having a hunch.

I'm rewatching it right now and i disagree

>just as the author intended.

Then why did he write more?

Real 600+ iq mastermind coming through.

There is no afterlife

- within the first few episodes it starts making up new rules that light doesn't know despite having already read the death note
- many new rules aren't even written in the death note so not only are they asspulls they lead to shitty exposition
- characterisation is beyond fucked
- 'plans' become ridiculously far fetched quite early and the whole conceit of the fiction is abandoned

don't get me wrong i enjoyed it at the time (when i was 13 and new to anime) but it really does have far too many narrative failings. i feel like breaking bad is a more fleshed out and well realised 'death note' in that you see a protagonist become a monster whilst trying to keep it secret from his family, and how he tries to navigate that. and breaking bad does it without needing shitty yaoi bait like L

Are you autistic? Light didn't know that until after the fact.

sage'd, reported, and fbi tipped

Funny that you mention BB because i'm rewatching it as well. Kinda says something about new media huh. Nothing new has interested me in a while.

Thought death note was shit after L died tbqh.

Light clearly tests the limits of the DN multiple times. Its not an asspull

>Itachi
>Not Nagato
hmhmmhmhh

How can people justify L using Lind L. Taylor to lure out Kira? Even if he was a criminal who was on a death row sentence it's still questionable for L to use someone else's life as bait like that.

Not one of you but Im also watching BB in this exact moment.

>L was a little bitch that had stupid principles
that's exactly the opposite of what was happening
L was testing the limits of the note and experimenting with it, Near didnt use it out of principle.

>He dies like a complete bitch in the manga.
which is a perfect ending for an edgy play-god with a titanic ego

>knew Light was Kira from the start
>was prepared to die in order to find him
>wasnt prepared to just outright kill him and go to jail for a few years to prevent a fuck ton of people from getting killed

near did all that shit too, plus more

The english dub for Shin Chan is god tier, I miss when adult swim used to play it all the time.

L could've done it when he met Light for the first time

Near could've also just shot light during their edgy showdown. He almost died but got saved by a stroke of sheer luck.

>Near didn't use it out of principle

Matsuda's theory would like a word with you.

it's a bit ridiculous that Near wont test the note to see if it's real but is willing to write mikami's name in the book without knowing the exact limits of its power.

>it took 10 of you to beat me

Decided to play games with L instead of just giving criminals heart attacks

Near's goon being somehow able to copy, manually and perfectly, an entire notebook's worth of writing in one night.

That is, bullshit.

No that was dio from the devil may cry series

It's a pretty fantastic show
