You didnt pay attention enough. I get it, you are a pleb who does the anime equivalent of speedreading. Most casual viewers didnt get it either, dont feel too bad.
Just finished Death Note earlier tonight. Near was fine. Not as good as L, but not bad. Light’s ego being his downfall was a good way to finish the series after winning the cat and mouse game with L.
Lights ego was in fact not his downfall.
Lights doenfall was assuming Near was the same as L (as all the haters also falsely claim)
Alright you idiots ready to have your mind blown? >Light lost because he trusted Mikami too much and beleived he was untouchable and his hubris etc. Etc. >No!
Light lost because Near used the Death Note in order to defeat him! That is the piece of the puzzle most didnt get. NEAR USED THE DEATHNOTE.
Near was the balance between Light and Ls ideals. He stood for justice and knew Kira was wrong, but also recognized (and keep in mind for a Japanese this is a very bold statement) that sometimes killing is okay for the greater good.
Near used a piece of rhe deathnote to write in that Mikami foils Light.
Near was the balance between the two ideals. And that is ultimately why he succeeding where both others failed.
putting an inmate on the death row about to be executed in a dangerous situation doesn't count as killing

I'm not even the same person and don't care about the tranime in question, it's garbage
jesus that fricking dub. Why do they voice actors have to over-emote, speed talk and always sound like they are out of breath. People got paid to approve that shit.
I remember when some anon on here made fun of me for wanting a season 2. Never ever he said. Hope that little homosexual is still alive to see this timeline.

this is why tranimeposting is so harmful to a board, it attracts these types
I remember how /LULZ/ went from cozy peepeepoopoo and fatposting and random neat funny threads to just tranime spam and gay shit over the course of a couple years
Just finished Death Note earlier tonight. Near was fine. Not as good as L, but not bad. Light’s ego being his downfall was a good way to finish the series after winning the cat and mouse game with L.
a good ending would have been showing what Light achieved after beating L. like Light said in the beginning every time a book gets dropped in the human world it's a big deal that shifts the world. you don't even need a full episode for that, just four to..eight minutes at most for further exposition.
Pic related are the worshippers that continue to worship the God Kira after Lights death. Shown during a dialogue piece where all the characters ask themselves if stopping Kira was actually the right choice and their answer was simply "well we cant do anything about it now so no ppint dwelling".
don't care. all you did was prove my point that it would have been a better ending going that route. you should grow out of being a weeb so you aren't sprung on calling people animu casuals

the real question is why do you post tranime on a non tranime board while you have several others to do just that?
>Near was going to lose >Out of nowhere enters Mello, that mix up the cards in the boards at the cost of his life, allowing Near to realize he was getting fooled before It was too late
Yes, accidentality. Without Mello, Near would had died
Heres a super meta and this one isnt canon, just my personal speculation mind you, Mello is a Shinigami.
He mirrors the Shinigami sacrificing themselves for Light (well, Misa, but you get the point), and is constantly fixated on a single specific food item. In Ms case, chocolate, the same way Ryyuk finds applea irresistible.
Wasn't it the case that the comic was so popular that they were forced to continue it after L died? Like that's how they originally planned to end it and then they had to come up with some bullshit to continue it.
Second half was kinda meh, Light just kinda fell off assuming no one could beat him. Pretty sure Near only won because he used the Death Note. The way he got it was pretty contrived anyways. It’s a solid show but the ending is lacking
This, Misa was hot but she wasn't have a nice day hot and there are plenty of hot girls on Earth. The only thing more pathetic than simps are death god simps.
It's not like it was some kind of astronomical coincidence though. Rem was watching over Misa specifically because she felt like the death of the other Shinigami shouldn't have been in vain. Pretty soon her feelings of protectorship turned into feelings of love due to constant proximity.
Near was fine I guess, he was never going to be as good as L but it’s whatever. The problem with the ending of death note was just how fricking stupid it was. It’s been ac while since I watched it, but basically didn’t Light lose because he was fooled by a fake copy of the death note, a copy that was so perfect and exact that light couldn’t tell it was a fake one despite thoroughly examining it and verifying it even going so far as to check it with a microscope? And then that 100% accurate copy down to a microscopic level was made in a matter of hours? I mean that’s just bullshit, if you want to make light lose you gotta do better than that. That happening just ruined all sense of immersion and suspension of disbelief for a series that was more or less pretty grounded in the parameters of its universe, and it just ruined the ending. That’s why death note ends with lights victory over L, because the ending of the second half was just so bad.
Yeah it was moronic. Light beating L actually made sense, Near pulling countless things out of his ass to beat Light killed the entire goodwill the series had. It would have been perfect if it had ended with when Light beat L.
Another thing that was moronic was Misa knew L's name for a long time/long enough to write it in her death note, but for some reason she doesn't? Yet Near gets dozens of literal deus ex machina bullshit at the end going his way to win. The mangaka was too much of a pussy and actually listened when sj made him rewrite the last half of the series.
Congratulations. You figured it out. That doesnt actually make sense.
Unfortunately for you anime-only casuals, thats all they left you with.
In reality if you actually read the manga the author then went on to explain Near used the Death Note to control Mikamis actions and that was the real difference and the reason Near won when L couldnt. Because Near was willing to kill for the greater good while L was too steadfast in hos ideals and resolve.
it's horribly written you fricking giga pleb. the last parts of the series are some of the most moronic i've ever read.

Ya it’s not bad writing in the manga when Gevanni forged 40 names a minute for 12 hours straight while perfectly copying someone else’s handwriting in the fake death note. Totally good writing bro!

Except the entire point is they used the death note and wrote Mikamis name inside which allows you to control their actions before they die. It WASNT accurate and if the death note hadnt been used Mikami WOULD have seen through it.
Congratulations. You figured it out. That doesnt actually make sense.
Unfortunately for you anime-only casuals, thats all they left you with.
In reality if you actually read the manga the author then went on to explain Near used the Death Note to control Mikamis actions and that was the real difference and the reason Near won when L couldnt. Because Near was willing to kill for the greater good while L was too steadfast in hos ideals and resolve.
Cope and seethe lol. In the manga the death note was still stole and swapped out with a 100% accurate fake death note that was somehow made in a couple of hours. Still a trash ending and you repeating over and over again that near was willing to use the death note doesn’t somehow make that stupid plot point any better. It ruined the ending because it made no sense. So your favorite manga has a shitty ending, happens sometimes.
In the manga it was higly hinted that Near wrote Mikami's name on the true note he stole, ordering him to not noticing the Death Note switch. He died a couple of weeks later in prison in a suspecting manner
It needed to end with L or Light winning, or even have L die but still defeat Light from beyond the grave. Having a university of proto-Ls was lame and demeaned his character.
I recently started rewatching this and goddamn it’s not as good as I remember. A lot of moronic things and coincidences
Very overhyped series
And I didn’t even make it to where he killed L. I dropped it around episode 13
As much as Near ultimately turned out to be annoying, the scene where he meets Light for the first time and scares the shit out of him is one of the best moments in the show.
Nah, it was ruined long before by the author >L almost got Kira but he asspuled some new rule from God of Death to be saved x5 >L almost got Kira, but some moronic God Of Death decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of some pop idol c**t with 1 digit IQ
You can manipulate the deaths only up to 30 something days. If you write someone will die one exact year after you wrote the name, it will break the rule. So the victim will die of heart failure after 40 seconds
Hes a much better character in the manga with his own personality. Madhouse were hardcore Light fanboys so they butchered Near and overall the entirely of the second half, with lots of cuts
Second arc would have been improved dramatically by introducing Near and Mello a bit earlier, while L is still alive.
Make L say some shit like "I have brought two new detectives on the case." Give Near and Mello some development while L is still alive, then have the go their separate ways after L dies.
The second half has horrible pacing because after L died they decided to rush it so instead of adapting 3 chapters per episode like they had previously done, they decided to suddenly adapt 6 chapters per episode.
I think the worst episode is the one where Light's dad dies, they adapted like 10 chapters for that episode.
you can tell how ignorant a viewer is by whether they criticize near as a knockoff L, big neon sign they do not understand the significance of the near + mellow team up, and how them working together with L + mellow's sacrifice is the only thing that leads to Light's capture.
Why are you Black folk ignoring that Misa at any point could have killed L but conveniently didn’t? The “oh there’s actually 4 more people like L that magically do everything right and have 200 iq and will team up to take Light down” is also the ultimate hack shit. Literally indefensible. Face it that he wrote himself into a corner and didn’t have the balls to use the original ending.
If Misa killed L it would have implicated Light immediately and given L backed up all the files on his investigation, Light would have been in the shit. This isn't complicated.
it was all downhill after he killed off L anyway.
this is all one loser
>kill off L
>replace him with an inferior copy
What were they thinking?
Normie opinion
That the story was too black and white and it needed a character willing to walk the more realistic and thin grey line.
Another normie take.
The Near ending was 10x more based than any L ending could have been.
Near ending was cringe. He was literally just a carbon copy of L. Why even kill off L at that point
You didnt pay attention enough. I get it, you are a pleb who does the anime equivalent of speedreading. Most casual viewers didnt get it either, dont feel too bad.

Idiot.
you have to at least give the writers some credit for having the balls to kill off L
the point is that Light let's himself defeated by someone who didn't even reach half of L's power level yet
The show ends when L dies. Light wins... until Ryuk kills him as well.
remember when "matt" got ventilated by like 100 cops?
that was classic
Did he really think he could have taken those guys if he did actually manage to reach for his gun?

Just stop after episode 25
Okay you write a better antagonist and ending for Light, and no you can't just let Light win.
Death note is pretty bad and you shouldn’t be watching it over the age of 15
My 14 year old sister likes death note
it would have been redeemed if light killed both those shitheads
Read the manga.
The second half is compressed in the anime and leaves many things out, especially how Near concludes that Mikami is X-Kira.
The first half is 25 episodes and the second just 12. No surprise that it's a little janky.
I can't believe how bad that show/manga are. Shounen has the worst writing, i get that it's for middle school kids, but don't they have standards?
>Read the manga.
Been there done that, it was awful as well.

iow L had better character than Near, who was a machiavellian. Got it
In the manga it was higly hinted that Near wrote Mikami's name on the true note he stole, ordering him to not noticing the Death Note switch. He died a couple of weeks later in prison in a suspecting manner
Fitered. Lgays were self-inserting Black folk
this is why the live action japanese movie was superior. the ending was perfect it didn't drag.
It needed to end with L or Light winning, or even have L die but still defeat Light from beyond the grave. Having a university of proto-Ls was lame and demeaned his character.
this is how the movie ended. L also used a mechanic of the death note that wasn't on the manga and the anime AFAIK but makes actual sense.
I recently started rewatching this and goddamn it’s not as good as I remember. A lot of moronic things and coincidences

What are the biggest flaws in death note?
As much as Near ultimately turned out to be annoying, the scene where he meets Light for the first time and scares the shit out of him is one of the best moments in the show.
The show was never good, too much time spent wanking off Light.
L won because Light was disqualified using some homosexual deus ex machima with Rem. Literally unfair.
The whole Near arc was to correct this.
light was prepared to turn wet and messy
Daily reminder that he did absolutely, legitimately, genuinely, unironically, literally and figuratively nothing wrong.
Nah, it was ruined long before by the author

Hes a much better character in the manga with his own personality. Madhouse were hardcore Light fanboys so they butchered Near and overall the entirely of the second half, with lots of cuts
Just wanted to say that L's dub actor was fantastic. Something Juliani? He was Gaeta in Battlestar Galactica
Near was based who did what he had to do to get results
L was a cringelord holding to some false sense of justice
This, years later and I'm still mad they added this shit character.

Did what L did but better. L decided to play with his food.
Worst part about him is his design, if he didn't look so much like L there would have been a lot less backlash.
SHE WAS SO HOT
been looking for girls that could be dressed like this and look good irl
Bitches just wear high waist jeans and kardashian makeup nowadays
I don't like this drawing though. What's appealing about her is the artstyle
Second arc would have been improved dramatically by introducing Near and Mello a bit earlier, while L is still alive.
Make L say some shit like "I have brought two new detectives on the case." Give Near and Mello some development while L is still alive, then have the go their separate ways after L dies.
yeah felt like near and mello were to solve the mistake of killing off L early
The second half has horrible pacing because after L died they decided to rush it so instead of adapting 3 chapters per episode like they had previously done, they decided to suddenly adapt 6 chapters per episode.
I think the worst episode is the one where Light's dad dies, they adapted like 10 chapters for that episode.
unironically the grand filter.
you can tell how ignorant a viewer is by whether they criticize near as a knockoff L, big neon sign they do not understand the significance of the near + mellow team up, and how them working together with L + mellow's sacrifice is the only thing that leads to Light's capture.
ITT butthurt edgy Light fans.
Why are you Black folk ignoring that Misa at any point could have killed L but conveniently didn’t? The “oh there’s actually 4 more people like L that magically do everything right and have 200 iq and will team up to take Light down” is also the ultimate hack shit. Literally indefensible. Face it that he wrote himself into a corner and didn’t have the balls to use the original ending.
If Misa killed L it would have implicated Light immediately and given L backed up all the files on his investigation, Light would have been in the shit. This isn't complicated.
yes and it was an obvious cash grab
