Hey there!~
I´ve finally finished the Death Note manga yesterday night and now I want to write down what I think about the end and about the whole series.
So if you haven´t finished the manga yet, just ignore this entry!!!!!
MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
So, I finally finished this series. It was pretty fast, but I couldn´t resist, because I wanted to know how it ends (T___T)
Of course I was very upset after chapter 58 (?) ... the death of L.
I always thought maybe this was a trick of L and he will appear again at the end of the manga telling Raito and everyone that this was also part of his investigation. I REALLY thought so ... or at least I hoped for it to happen (.____.) *sigh*
... So I personally didn´t like the story after chapter 58 very much. Of course there were still some interesting scenes and it was still exciting, but I don´t like Mello and Near! Not one bit!!!
It´s not because they want to catch Kira and are very good at it, because L was like that as well .... he just had bad luck if you ask me! Near would have been dead if Remu was still alive at that time and if we had the same situation. I mean Raito threatening Remu through Misa.
That´s why I don´t think that Near is sooooooooooooooo much better than L. Is he? .. NO!
Furthermore ... he´s somehow really getting on my nerves. He´s just a little brat ....
L and Raito were pretty much the same age and level, so it was much more fun to watch those 2!
The actual end:
Well ... I already knew that Near would win .... I only wanted to know HOW it actually would happen ..... Well Raito was overconfident and so it serves him right.
I was thinking the whole time: "Baka, BAKA!" It´s obvious that Near already is one step ahead of you, GET THAT ALREADY!!!! ...
For being this overconfident and stupid at the end .... especially depending on Mikami too much ... it serves him right.
Still ... I´m not very satisfied with the end, I guess. ....
On the other hand, how else could it have ended? ....
Well I guess I expected a pretty "evil" ending, where Raito beats Near and we only see how everything´s going on. TEH END!
But this end was more convincing. Like Ryuuku said: the Death Note owners all ended up like that more or less.
How can you kill people like that and lead a happy life after that? So it makes sense.
I guess I would be more satisfied with Near dead as well. (sorry if there are any Near fans here XD)
Furthermore WHAT´S WITH MISA???????? They only told us that Mikami commited suicide in prison, but what about Misa???? OOOI?! Isn´t that important?
How lucky she is if they left her alone. CAN´T BE!!!!
But one other thing: Shouldn´t she be dead already? She´s shortened her life-span two times !!! (o__O)> .....
And btw. I guess if Raito wouldn´t have been so overconfident he might have gotten the Shinigami eyes and then he could have won. ....
What´s the use of NOT shortening your life-span if you´ll die anyway if you DON´T have the eyes (T__T) ... aaah~ moou~
Well at the end I think it´s good that there´s not really a "wrong or right".
Matsuda is discussing this with Ide in the car.
I guess that´s the main topic in this manga anyway?!
Furthermore! We all have seen how Raito IS like without (memories of) the death note!!!!
I guess if it wasn´t him who found the notebook, but someone else, Raito would have joined the investigation sooner or later and would have tried to catch Kira together with L.
But because there are not many people out there as sharp as Raito. L and Raito would have cought that Kira pretty fast and everything would have been fine. Don´t you think so?
Well how can I like an end where BOTH MY FAV CHARAS aren´t alive anymore??? :/ ......
Oh well ... let me hear your opinions please!!!!
SPOILERS END
I´ve also watched the 1st Death Note movie so far. (Dead or alive)
I still don´t like the actor they´ve chosen for Raito ... but the Shinigami are well-made and I LOVE L somehow XDDDDD
I also love that they´ve changed the story a bit, otherwise it would have been boring.
Now I finally can watch the 2nd movie!! I´m looking forward to it ^__^
(and KYAH Inui is Matsudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! .... That´s the first time (I think) that I´ve seen a Tenimyu star in a drama/movie!!!) XDDDDDDD
I´ve started to watch the anime. Only the first 2 episodes so far.
ZOMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! L = Yamaguchi Kappei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!!!!!
As I AAALWAYS tell you he´s following me! HE´S EVERYWHERE!! I recognize his voice right away! Usually I don´t even need to hear his voice! A sigh is enough to recognize him! AAAAH!!
But I think he´s quite fitting for L considering he´s also Shinichi Kudou´s voice in Conan ^^
Well .. I have to watch more of it :)
Raito´s voice is good as well (didn´t know that his seiyuu was in Tenimyu!!)
