Death Note

Finally, I finished Death Note...all 37 episodes of it....the entire story takes about 9 years...and is roughly divided into 2 parts, Light vs L(3 yrs) and Light vs L's successors (6 yrs)... Almost everybody who is important dies in the end...so it is technically a true ending...

Light vs L
I have to say, this is the better part. Light vs L is very, very interesting. How Light was able to avoid detection by giving up ownership of the Death Note, therefore forgetting everything about it, and then knowing his original self will track down the new Kira until he touches the note again, therefore regaining his memories. He is able to utilise Rem to kill L, thereby eliminating both L and Rem. Though in many ways, L still suspects that Light is Kira and is still trying to defeat him. Though it may look that Light has finally won, it was not so.

Light vs L's successor
Though Light has taken L's identity leading the investigation off himself, Wammy's House has received news of L's death, and has elected M and N as his successor, hoping both would work together to defeat Kira. M, Mello, refuses to aid N, Near. Near forms SPK and decides to go against Kira. Having deduced that the 2nd L(Light) is actually Kira. With the unintentional help of Mello, Near is able to solve the case and Light dies when Ryuk writes Light's name in his own Death Note.

Though I would very like L to win, is actually not quite that bad at all. Light underestimates Near, causing Near to win in the end. He doesnt deserve it. I hate Near actually. He's evil in a sense. In the manga, it is said he may have used the Death Note to kill Teru Mikami (5th Kira) and manipulating him to the maximum of 23 days dies before having him kill himself while imprisoned. Whereas in the anime, Mikami kills himself with his own pen. The manga is actually more detailed then the anime. For example, L's final thoughts were shown, and they actually had him brought to the hospital.

Favourite phrase: "watashiwa Eru desu", "watashiwa Kira desu" donoe why though..
