[Spoilers] Death Note anime comes to an end
June 27th, 2007 at 13:28:51 by wahSpoilers for the Death Note anime after the jump
I’ve said before that the Death Note anime has been a bumpy ride for me, but despite all that, it ended wonderfully. Having not read volume 12 of the manga, all this is new to me.
I did want Light to win though, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen after seeing the preview for this episode. The guy really got what he deserved, and I feel the series puts out a very good message regarding that. Light never cared about creating a new world. He was just morbidly fascinated by this new toy he found, and in the end became a soulless creature who only derived pleasure from killing. He treated life as a game, and never once thought that he might lose. It was quite sad to see him looking rather human in his final moments though. Kind of makes you sad that he found the book in the first place.

I don’t know about the anime, but the final scene in the manga showed that after his death he had hundreds of people led by Misa holding a vigil in his honor. So at least after his death a lot of people still treated him like a God. Other than that, he pretty much got fucked.

Apparently that’s not Misa, according to the writer.

Yes thats true, it was mentioned in volume 13. The woman at the end of the manga is just a normal Kira fan.

Seriously? :O I thought I was the only one deeply affected by this ending, as opposed to the Manga one…I’ve heard many opinions calling the Anime ending clichéd, but I for one liked it (as in “ZOMG NOOOOO Light died and he was so pretty and it was so sad ;______;). You’re right, it definitely led the watcher to be able to feel some regret that Light’s life had been cut short by the whole Death Note gamut, and sympathize with his humanity.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the Manga…Light just went down pleading and screaming like a coward, which didn’t do much for final impressions. I guess the Manga version is more about what *did* happen, while the Anime ending focuses on what could have been but was lost.
In summary: Liiiight ;__________;
