Mhmm

It was really depressing.

But that's anime for you!

well when you really think about it she could live for hundreds of years still.

When a shinigami gives its life to save a human the human inherits the remaining time the shinigami would have had, so depending on how many names the two shinigami that gave their lives for her had written down prior to their demise she could have racked up a very very long lifetime

Huh, yeah that's true.

Does it stint your age?

What I mean is, do you still grow older?

Cause being 1500 seems like it'd be a bitch.

[Krankykoala]

Good question... i dont think it says anywhere though sadly. Yeah once you get past 300 your just waiting for someone to write your name down so you can remember it.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Yeah, definitely.

At that point I think waking up would break bones.

[twa]

What bones? :"D

I really loved Death Note, both the movies and the anime (haven't read the manga).
My favorite characters are L and Near...something about that quiet, eerie intelligence gives me the tinglies.
I preferred the ending where L didn't die before Kira (like in the movie), but the fact that he dies in the anime before Kira allows us to meet Near, Mello, and Matt...so I'm not too bitter about that.
I didn't feel that the series dragged on nor ended too quickly, though I could always use more Death Note. I just think it's so well-written, and the characters are really deep and likeable. It's just so epic. ^^

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Yeah, I really liked Near as well.

I think both endings were great in their own right, there was just something about L knowing Light's plan to kill him beforehand and taking matters into his own hands that was really awesome to me.

It's definitely one of the animes I would watch again.
The movies as well.

Did you enjoy it? Its fucking awesome, as i started watching in, L quite suprised me.
Favorite characters? The good guys, L and i dont remember the name of the son of his.
Which ending did you prefer? Its weird that he first didnt run away and then wrote their names in the piece of paper on his watch.
Did you feel as tho it dragged on or did it need more time or was it just right? More episodes ^^, everything else is just right

[theWdahl]

Well I have only seen the series and I'm going to watch the movie right now!
For me it was a great anime and I freaking loved it, but closer to the end it came more used you got to it and it kinda destroyed the suprising feeling when you knew what was going to happen because you started to overthink stuffs yourself, so I believe it ended right at time actually otherwise you would just sit there every episode and get headeac because you were trying to understand what move they were going to do next.
Were I the only one that go the feeling they made so that they started to think to complicated in the end to much? That it didn't feel real in some way that they kinda pulled it to the edges?

I have yet to see the movies

I read "Live action Death Note" and couldnt bring myself to watch it

[Epic?OhYes]

I watched it when it first came on toonami a long time ago.

[Verror]

I watched the entire series, probably one of my favorite series although the movie version of it was dreadful.
The ending leaves you hanging/thinking a little bit though.

[Wolf]

The ending leaves you hanging/thinking a little bit though.

O.o how so?

Spoiler

L's dead, Lights dead, Light won't go to the afterlife, and Near will presumably take L's place.

There's a book about a few of L's cases before the Kira case, it's pretty good if you are an L fan.

[Verror]

I guess I worded that wrong, more-so mean the ending was too abrupt/simple for my liking (the way everything turned out), I was hoping for a bit more depth.

[Wolf]

Yeah, it was an ending that takes you by surprise, for sure.

Most people expected a more... spectacular ending. And alot of people didn't like that it "wasn't his fault", except that it was, in order to not get caught he gave the note to Mikami [since he had indirectly killed Misa to kill L], so in the end his past actions were his undoing, and in a roundabout way, L still won.

Still one of my most memorable, favorite anime endings of all time.

"Who else could have done it?

To go this far?

To be able to go on?

Only I could do it...

That's right...

In order to create a new world...

Only I can do it..."

*-* It isn't over yet!! -- yeay ^^

[idk]

watched it all, read it all. haven't read the book about L's previous cases

L was definitely one of my favourite characters.

watch it through again, and pay very close attention to him, his ticks, and his nuances. he's a surprisingly deep character for having such an Intelligent and Offputting shell.
When he opens up to Light in the hallway, you can see the L is being open with Light, respects him, sees him as a friend, which is something he has never had growing up, or living life.

There are some seriously heavy feels from it, especially when he gets killed.
