Death Note

[Roto13]

I started watching and finished up with the comic recently. It was good up till the end which was just poorly done. So much so that it makes me cry because most of the rest was so well written...for the most part. I have issues with somethings that happened and what was said. I don't know if that is a problem with the translation or just a lapse made by the writer.

Yeah, the ending of the manga kinda sucks. My problem was (SPOILER)Light got way too cocky. He's usually so careful and complicated and the end he just ends up falling for a bluff.

I agree. Also (SPOILER)there are things Light could have done like tell the other two to write down the names of all the known people to die a few hours after they show up so that if he does get caught it is just him and N left and he could then pick up the Death Note that his side brought and write down N's name as Makami would still be outside writing down everyone's name...at least this is one possible alternative that he could have taken. It was just luck on N's side and incompetence on Light's side. Also when Ryuk said that there is no afterlife that contradicts what he thought to himself about when Light's father died.

Mello's death was also lame. He could have been used so much better.

I wrote "complicated" when I meant... actually I don't remember what I meant. Something with a C.

Yeah, anyway, (SPOILER)the little things like Ryuk mentioning the afterlife don't bother me so much, but the third story arc as a whole kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. It was interesting enough when it started off and then it lost something and it never got it back again. Maybe they'll fix it up a bit in the anime.
