Watched Death Note’s final episode a couple hours ago. While I think the ending was abrupt, the pacing was pretty good. At least Yagami Light has been defeated at this point. You should see the desperateness from his facial expression. I wonder if there is an alternated ending to it.
It was pretty disappointing that this particular scene where Light begs for Ryuk’s help did not take place in the anime. Well at least I want to see that scene animated. Maybe I’m hoping too much from it. In my opinion, I think the story lost some spark after L died. I don’t know why but I just felt the story became boring after L’s death. Maybe I’m in awe with his eccentricity.
Maybe such issue is not that evident in the manga but it’s more obvious in the anime since L’s characteristics are thoroughly portrayed in animated motion. I have to say Yamaguchi Kappei did a very good job at bringing L’s character alive. So what’s the moral of this story? Crime does not pay? Yeah right. We all know it doesn’t apply in Malaysia.
