Light was a utopian minded megalomaniac who saw life as cheap next to his goal for humanity, like Mao Zedong or something.
He should have died a dictator's death, not had a doofus in pajamas point a finger at him in a warehouse.

And I never found Light written obviously enough for hate enough to care if he suffered. Plus Mello and Near were so obnoxious and awful I honestly would rather have seen Light kill them (I know Mello did die, but he even died offscreen for chrissakes).

wooo near won who cares, he was a charmless retarded version of L who was actually kind of annoying.

There was no thematic edge to anything that happened, Light just got outsmarted. He wasn't brought down by his own hubris or anything like that. I mean that black haired guy went from genius to foaming idiot out of nowhere too. Light just died a ridiculous villain almost like he was a different character.

So yeah his hubris is what should have killed him.

I wish they'd ended the series then and there when L died. What followed just felt like an unnatural extension due to its popularity, and I'd have been happy leaving the series with the debates still going about the rightness of Light's cause and so forth, instead of switching to "what is this rubbish I'm reading".

That's the funniest part.

Death Note is just a series of one side one-upping the other.

And... that's all that happened in the end. Just one more casual one-up, written by the authors and not the characters (you know what I mean) and this time it just ended in another guy dying.

Sh!t just ends boringly and without any real interest. Just a kind of hilariously dumb sadistic lick by watching Light flail around like a moron and what little character Light and Black Haired Light had left seemed zoomed over to just have it finish like this.

It's premise is waaaaaaay beyond the simple detective thing tho.

Light needed to die like Gaddafi or Mussolini or something, or push the Death Note too far like an Indiana Jones villain and have ghosts melt his face or something I dunno, something even basically fitting for a meglomaniac playing with evil demon power.

Death Note could have been really great, still an interesting series in many ways.

[Some Geth]

Not really what I would have wanted but at least it's better than the real ending.

I dunno. Trying to follwo some pattern on how a character "must" die is exactly what makes something shallow and predictive.
In real life, people don't always have poigntant, symbolic or heroic deaths. No plots or character shields. No arcs. Stuff just hapens.

In fact, Lights death as it is makes it kinda feel more real.

Agreed. And Darker Than Black needs sa third. And Sekaichi no Apollon needs a second. And... there're too many to list really.


In other news, I'm finding Brigadoon to be an awesome somewhat-oldie and finally getting to end-game of Dragon Ball Z. Boo arc is the way Dragon Ball Z *should* be. If this quality would have been consistent throughout the series, I'd rate it two marks higher and a nine.

Anything with Ryouhei Kimura as a lead needs more seasons.

And yes, Buu saga is probably the best in DBZ. You'd be shocked by how many fans consider it the worst. In my opinion DBZ got better with every new arc. Except I don't think Frieza can be overlooked and remains one of the best DBZ villains even compared to Buu and the androids.

Yeah.

I agree with Some Geth on the details, mostly, so I won't comment more thoroughly. All in all I'm quite amazed how Boo arc is considered bad.

@ Hanar - giving Death Note a 9 is a good move in my opinion, given the series' significance and originality alone.

In other other news, I got to Kurozuka from my "on hold" series, and it's great. I really love series that do some odd pacing with silent parts, and build tension. Vampire shows usually do that. Reminds me of dreams for some reason or other.
+ there's the spectacular art...

God I hate German and Russian dubs.

Honestly I think his death was fitting because of how he dealt with people, he was worshipped and yet he died on a set of stairs bleeding out from gunshot wounds.

[eroeru]

And in my opinion, in the end he *did* play himself into a corner. Things got really complicated, the tension grew, mistakes were abound by probability alone. He died by going out of his mind. Would he have played it safer, he would of at least survived. But he was crazy mad by the end, from the tension and maniacal behavior that accumulated by end.

[eroeru]

It's never someone else's fault in the mind of a smart (maniac) person, I'd think. To deal with another's (Mikami's) stupidity is not to judge but to take into account. If Light didn't accurately account for Mikami's behavior, from his own perspective, Light's justified to think it's all his fault (not emotionally though).

This kind of logic in other words: a person cannot influence or understand others directly (because of the veil of perception and one being a subjective unit). Thus one should concentrate and take into account the actions of oneself - they're the only thing by which something can be done, thus having prime relevance.
