Death Note

I finished the anime yesterday and don't recall what Mello was going for either.
Saying Mikami broke his character trait is a good way of summing up that irrational bullshit too.

You don't know him long enough to be able to make a claim that he broke his character trait. Maybe he's just like that. I can fully believe he wanted the best for Kira and took matters into his own hand and fucked up

>Near has a way better character design than L
L actually looks like the autistic weirdo he is. Near looks like a generic white haired anime twink that could be copy-pasted to 20 different shows.

L looks like le emo edgy dark hair character with le weird quirks, totally generic.
Near looks like a mixture between L and Ryo from Devilman Crybaby

I suppose I was basing my thoughts on him off the few decisions he made when he was first introduced, which definitely made his decision making look impeccable.

>Timeskip without really diving in what happened in the meanwhile
I refuse to believe Light was just able to go his merry way for 6 fucking years
>Introducing an L clone
You might aswell keep L alive if you're going to do that. Mello would have been the more interesting choice as lead antagonist for light.
>Light putting too much trust in subordinates
What ultimately screwed him over.

I feel bad for this guy. Was just a waifufag like us.

Because it went to shit after the timeskip.

It was always shit, losing L just made everyone realize it

What sucks about it is that the one time Mikami shows some kind of imperfection it's the one thing that solves the Kira case, instead of showing beforehand that Mikami could break his routine if he thinks it'll benefit Kira or maybe exploring his perfection in some way to find a opening/weakness, but nope, one mistake and there it goes Light is fucking dead. What's more is that not only Mikami knew he was being observed, he even confirmed that they were tampering with the fake notebook, yet the motherfucker decides to go to this bank full of people anyway while looking suspicious as fuck, what the hell was he expecting? That he'd able to ninja his way through the agent just by looking to his side a few times? C'mon Mikami you're better than that
And what definitively doesn't help is what happens before and after his stunt, "before" being Mello sacrificing himself while he had no idea what he was doing which just so happened to be the perfect set of events to draw Mikami out, and "after" being Gevanni completely replicating the damn thing in a single night to the point it could trick Mikami checking the thing with a damn microscope. The whole package of Near's super keikaku was just... It was something man
At least those two last episodes had some real great music hot damn

Good points user.

YIKES!

When is another anime going to pass the amazing OST of Death Note?

AOT did.

The one good thing about it

Kaiji

I remember reading that author only thought up story up till L dies and was forced to continue because of popularity.

I don't really remember the OST of Kaiji but I really liked this one.

How can Death Note even compete?

Cope

Fuck off with the buzzwords.

Seething

Go back to Yea Forums you brain rotted retard.

dilate

I'd recommend giving it a good listen sometime.
Nobody rivals Fukumoto in writing up complex scenarios with equally complex solutions. The decision making in the first arc of Death Note felt quite realistically intelligent though.

Dude took a bullet for a girl he never even planned to meet. He's better than us.

He could have at least chosen a girl that's attractive

>yandere goth girl
Fucking ye-
>that voice
Hard pass

>Near has a way better character design than L
Near is literally copy pasted L but in a child body. L was great because that was the last thing you expected when you found out what he looked like

D E S I G N

Watari deleted L's hentai folders before he bit the bullet absolute based butler

I kind of want to see how it played out without Misa, she drastically accelerated the plot

Nice digits, but horrible opinion.

>I kind of want to see how it played out without Misa, she drastically accelerated the plot
Rather, she made the invulnerable Light vulnerable due to forcing Light to reveal the most critical of all information, which is the Death Note. He had no choice due to Rem's threat. Otherwise? He'd absolutely never reveal the existence of the Death Note. He was safe as long the note itself wasn't found, unless L goes full on "ends justify the means" and orders Light to be tortured for information. That's the only conceivable method I can possibly imagine to "catch" him, and even then he can still find an appropriate phrase to relinquish ownership to protect himself from ruining himself in fear of pain after being completely broken. Also if L did this, Light might have actually truly become able to convince his father of the "Kira way" and join his cause. It'd be very interesting.

Instead we got "one death note every 100-1000 years, but by sheer coincidence there are multiple death notes unrelated to each other in the same country around the same time. That part was a bit of a bummer.

Cut content
Read the manga

Death note after the time skip is like Bleach after the SS arc.

Near and Melo come out of nowhere. But the mind games are same desu, people are just salty because L died

show should really have ended when Light won. it would have toppled NGE as the GOAT

>But the mind games are same desu
Remember that time Light cornered Near with an angry mob and Near escaped them by throwing a lot of money in the air? A true battle of wits right there

Why is it so hard to write a story where the """villain""" wins

Remember when Light needed Raye Penber's name? He sit right next to Light despite trying to be unnoticed, hear his conversation about trying save the bus by himself and then proceed to give Light his identification to prove he is a policeman. wow Light, nice mingames right there!

If your only gripe with the scene is that Raye decided to sit somewhere behind Light to observe him when Light sat on the second to last seat in the bus, then yeah the point that pre-time skip had much better mind games still stand

>Remember that time Light cornered Near with an angry mob and Near escaped them by throwing a lot of money in the air? A true battle of wits right there
Not that user, but that (and the ending) are frankly the only moments I still clearly remember from "part 2". Everything else is blurry and was boring.
No wait, I also remember the beginning where the "fighters for justice" show themselves as hypocrites who act tough in front of Kira, but when a random terrorist demands a fucking death note for a hostage exchange, I couldn't believe it. It was as if they only fight for justice when Kira is their target. It feels like how you play an RPG and finally make your way into the place that's right before the final bosss/Dark Lord/Demon Lord, only to somehow see how some random lvl 50 schmuck weakling somehow made it to the waiting room for the final room of the final dungeon AHEAD OF YOUR PARTY of lvl99 apex warriors and mages, because "challenge" can only be given to the protagonist of the story, appearently.

Worst thing I’ve read all day

>L was going to make different TV announcements in each city
>He just happen to make the first announcement where his target lives
More good mindgames

In the most populated region of Japan
What else do you got?

>always wondered why the fuck she speaks in third person, thought she was legitimately retarded
>find out that nippons think that speaking in third person is childlike and cute
WTF is wrong with Japan?

The most popular region in Japan don't even represent the 5% of the population and many of them aren't living there. A better plan would be making the same announcement at the same time but with different fake L on each city. That wouldn't feel like an ass pull

You must be thinking of something completely different, L's announcement was for the entire Kanto region which is about 1/3 of Japan's population

It wasn't "per city". It was per region, of which there like 5-10 or so at most AFAIK. Also the one Light was in was the one with the greatest population number, the Kanto region (yes this is the one the first area in pokémon is named after). Heck, L himself explained that part, so you forgot about it. Overall, L had quite good odds to narrow down Kira's location that way.

Because it has only two good characters and one of them died halfway through?

>Why does it feel like this anime went to shit after the timeskip?
Because it did. Tsugumi Ohba originally ended the series after L died but his publisher made him continue the series so the whole Near arc with a rushed, soulless cash-grab.

That's not true, some pedos give a shit about Near

Still, my plan is still better and I'm not risking a 33% chances

What do you mean risking? If Kira wasn't in Kanto then the only thing that would happen is Lind L. Tailor not die and then do the exact same broadcast in another place, if Kira was in Kyushu instead he'd kill Lindy when his broadcast finally reached Kyushu, what makes you think if he wasn't in Kanto then the entire plan would go to flames?

L said that he choose Kanto first not only because it's the largest but also because of the little known fact that Kira's first victim was a criminal broadcasted only to Kanto at the time

He could read in social media it was already made in Kanto

He was the original orbiter. Bet he would have bought her bathwaver aswell if he could.

it was written 2003

DN's a 2003 work, Light used a mini LCD TV for his potato chip trick instead of a phone

>There was no social media in 2003
This is an 18+ site

>Of all the criminals, in the WHOLE world, in the last couple of days L knew the first victim was in a very isolated place in Japan
And then you guys call pic related stupid

We're done here

>cope
>L cocksucker nostalfag
Yes, we are done here

They raised Light's scheming to such fantastic heights, but made him reckless and shortsighted at the end just to wrap it up.

Assuming L has access to all criminal activities in the world and look specifically for heart attacks as a cause of death there probably wouldn't be many occurrences of criminals dying of heart attacks in the scene of the crime

Nigga died of a heart attack mid crime and day after that criminals start dropping from heart attacks. It's quite obvious a test

Also doesnt light announce he exists by having prisoners write his name in blood on the walls? Or was that later than i remember

That's way later, that's when he was testing how far he can go with it. That's all the when to when he met L. Remember L showing Light photos of those jail rooms and asking him to deduce?

>Also doesnt light announce he exists by having prisoners write his name in blood on the walls?
I believe that's how he announces himself in the Netflix movie
Still yet to watch that, i'm sure it'll produce a few laughs

I really wanted that fag to die, he was extremely unlikable

>the series originally ended after L died
Then I will forever remember it that way.

Ahh right i remember now
Yea i think i got mixed up from watching E;R’s review

There's that ending from the live-action movies (the japanese ones I mean, not the netflix one) where L manages to "catch" Kira in the sense that L writes his own name into the Death Note and sets it for 27 (or was it 37?) days later, which is appearently the maximum delay that can be specified. That causes him to survive being killed by Rem, though Watari still dies regardless. Then Light's "defeat scene" happens, when he gets tricked into killing his father with a fake death note, but with L instead of Near, also with his father still alive and Rem conviently destroying her own Death Note instead of leaving it for Light. The idea is not bad because it got my ideal result of both Light and L ultimately dying. It was quite good aside from Light not really being as much of a genius in the beginning. But they then fucked it up by having that "L save the world" sequel thing that's just some random story about L before his imminent death. The movie was extremely "meh" and got nothing to do with Death Note.

There's also the TV dorama dorama where Mikami (?) kills L after he has a dramatic fist fight with Light and then Near pretends to be Mello to carry out some ultra keikaku planned out by L which results in Light dying in the middle of a fucking fire
That show was fucking weird

Giovanni was the biggest asspull in the show

the japanese are legitimately retarded thanks to the radiation

If i had the death note i would unironically never get caught.

>Won't kill criminals from the local news
>Don't search the internet for criminals because i could get traced pretty fast
>Don't create a routine like Light did
>Never let the emotions get the better of you

The biggest challenge is people around you finding out, but that could be solved easily.

The majority of people feel that way because either they are an Lfag or a Lightfag.

Or storyfags that found Near and Mello to be shitty characters

All the biggest criminals and corrupt politicians are already known to the whole world. Even if you use the Internet to have a good look at their faces, it won't prove anything.
