I just finished watching this stupid anime. Why did they glorify this asshole at the end with that running scene sympathizing with his crimes? That's not how he dies in the manga. They wasted 15 minutes on that shit instead of the after-story chapter.
The entire point of his breakdown was to demonstrate that for all his wile and posturizing, he was always only a megalomaniac habitual liar with inside knowledge of an overpowered book, but an idiot through and through. L was the only genius in the end. The other characters were just reactionary protagonists against a baboon. That was the moral.
What hack director wrote the second half of this show and has he been blacklisted from ever making another anime yet? If you want something done right in this world you really have to do it yourself. What IRONY that that was the only kernel of truth to Light's childish crusade to be God.

>glorify this asshole at the end with that running scene sympathizing with his crimes Did we watch the same anime?
Dominic Collins
There's truth to that, the anime tries to make you feel all sad that Raito-kun is drying while in the manga he just drops dead lack a sack of shit yeeah
Jeremiah Diaz
Sorry about my grammar on that entire post, i just woke up and broke a cup of glass
Eli Allen
>the anime tries to make you feel all sad that Raito-kun is drying No, it doesn't. It paints him as a pathetic piece of shit that can't even man up to the fact that he lost when there is no way around it.
Michael Miller
Yes it does, the cute little music, the pretty colors, L waiting for him, it was all made by design to make the fangirls cry hoping that there was another way around it, doesn't come even close to the pathetic death he suffers in the manga
Nathaniel Rogers
I liked how in the manga, Light begged for Ryuk to kill everyone in the room out of desperation only for him to realize that he was writing Light's name.
Nicholas Bennett
>broke a cup of glass Yeah we can tell
Samuel Wilson
>cup of glass I don't think that's good for you user-kun
Sebastian Moore
He doesn't realize, because he is one of those fangirls.
Cooper Ramirez
I dont think him having a generic villain freak out moment was very glorifying.
Nathan Russell
This OP is retarded, anime made him look extremely pathetic
Dylan Fisher
>glorify >sympathizing I agree they should haven't added that running scene but the anime did show him as a megalomaniac habitual liar etc.
Brody Peterson
They also didn't include the final chapter of the manga.
Dylan Adams
That's not pathetic. He died calmly at the stairs after somehow regretting his all actions.
Brody Allen
He didn't regret shit, he was just sad that he was deding
Ethan Lee
He saw his younger self. That's usually means regrets like what if I just continue studying instead of using the notebook.

To be fair L only died due to something he had no knowledge of. Light was a bit smarter in that regard compared to L, but overall L was the more intelligent of the two, if it came down to both of them having the exact same knowledge of the Death Note, L would have won.
But, it didn't go that way unfortunately and the manga started to suffer because Mello and Near despite their individual characteristics, weren't as interesting as L.
At least we got Swimming Lessons out of it in the end though, that and I guess L being Jesus and Light being Judas in the anime.
Gavin Murphy
dubs of truth
Josiah Campbell
I love how Near brags in the end how he and Mello together surpasses L, even thought Light did nothing but fuck ups the entire second part
Gavin Williams
Yep, Light is the entire reason of his downfall. Near noticed patterns and Mello was brash, but Light just kept going apeshit thinking they weren't nowhere near L so he had nothing to worry about which led to mistakes.
Its probably one of the better parts of Death Note is that "Is Light, right or wrong?" and "Where exactly and how did he go wrong/mess up?"
Rather interesting. Honestly if you want to get down to it, it wasn't so much Light's mess up, as it was Mikaru's. He was too pragmatic in the way he did things, though it was Light's choice to use him.
Henry Kelly
>you will never understand how light would get caught
Easton Jenkins
Man, the manga ending is brutal. Call me a pleb if you want, but it's still one of my favorite ending ever. The anime toned down the dark tones a lot and falls flat in comparison.
Ethan Green
>missing the point THIS hard
kill yourself my man
Light already had some pretty narcissicistic views on the world before death note, once he gets power, that was just the excuse and tipping point
also, the entire story of death note is a "what if the ring of gyges was a book?" and what happens when you give a (mostly) normal person the power to kill and to get away with it, do they change the world, or are too afraid to use it?
tl;dr nigga u dumb
Alexander Green
I liked the anime ending. The Death Note was a curse after all. It was a humanizing touch that made the character more realistic. I didn't feel his pathetic side and selfishness were in any way toned down. He still sacrificed people who trusted him for the sake of alleviating his boredom and winning the contest with L and L's successors. Also, when he relinquished ownership of the Death Note, we also saw Light the way he was before the Death Note, which also showed his sympathetic side.
The anime ending merely provided a throwback to that time by also showing one more time the person he was before he found the Death Note and the tragic fate that befell him because of the Death Note..
Chase Richardson
Reminder that Light did nothing wrong.
Except lose.
Ryder Morgan
>seeing flashbacks before death isn't common

Grayson Taylor
the anime ending was done beautifully.
Logan Jenkins
OP here I should have known Sup Forums was just as stupid as Light so of course they empathize with him.
But holy shit you people's stupidity is baffling. You are literally the most unintelligent scourge to type on the internet. The day Sup Forums dies will be a point of novelty and kairotic moment for all mankind.
Jack Brooks
Oh yeah, in b4 your pedo mods delete my comment and ban me like the sacks of shit they are.

You are the cancer killing Sup Forums
Isaiah Bailey
The whole point of the ending scene wasn't to sympathize with light but rather to see the wasted potential of Light's life, hence the whole 'regular student Light walking the other way'.
Everything Light did was a maniacal ego trip that ultimately accomplished nothing.
It's supposed to be disgusting and pitiful.
Samuel Wright
>To be fair L only died due to something he had no knowledge off Both had advantages. Light was just a random highschooler/college guy who had a police father. While L was a billionaire who no one knows his face, not even the police. The Deathnote just leveled the playing field instead giving him an advantage.
Sebastian Brooks
and you are the shitposter killing Sup Forums, off yourself
