After L's death?

That'd really make the audience wondering about what happened after that, as Matsuda and co. never found out Raito was Kira until Near finally confronted him.

yeah I know, but I just like ambiguous stuff like that.
Either that or they should have actually put some effort into the last 12 episodes/however many chapters. It just seemed like the writers didn't care anymore and rushed through everything.

The amount of plotholes and bad plot devices were too many to count :emo: :gonk:

I'm not at that part yet, so I can't say for sure if those were bad or anything.

But the Mello/Near thing just fails.

They used the same tricks for Mello and Near, as well.

Only instead of the whole "toe-to-toe equals" thing, they pulled a bad hollywood-style twist where they intentionally leave out crucial information that's so far fetched and ridiculous that you're like "well if I had known it would have gone this way, I would have just stopped watching."

Sad really, because after watching the first 25 episodes of Death Note, you realize that it's the best cat-and-mouse series/film ever made behind Se7en.
And then it turns into a bad 'hollywood' film that you find on the straight-to-video rack at Blockbuster.

Which essentially raises the question:

"Why did you kill off L?"

If he stayed until the finale, the series would own so much.

Nobody would've remembered his "successors" in the first place.

Mello sucks.
Near sucks.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BRING BACK L

I dunno if the rest of the series was bad just because L died. After he left, everyone was just like "OMG ANOTHER KIRA WTF LETS GO CATCH HIM" over and over.

Well the shift wasn't all just because L died, but it just seemed like once L died, Raito had no equal, and then the series just started getting ridiculous from there.

I'll admit that there were times when I was reading the rest of Death Note that after L's death, I was rather annoyed with the series and I just wanted to finish it to put my mind at ease. What I should have done was just stopped reading after L's death. Because it all sucked from there on out.

Near and Mello are both failures. They weren't as clever as L and never will be. Like come on. Sorry if this ruins it for you Redstrike, but Near and Mello both got their names found out and L NEVER DID.

I think that's what bothered me the most. And Misa just becomes more and more useless.

I know their names. My friend told me and I pummeled him for that.

Mello = Mihael Keehl (wtf)
Near = Nate River

L is L Lawliet.

I'm betting his parents were too lazy to name him or something.

Or computer nerds.

I would have killed your friend.

But you don't ever find that out until the whole thirteenth book things come out. So everyone COULD be wrong. -_-

Killing L was the best way to kill a manga series. *claps for failure*

QFT.

Real life fiction as opposed to something completely fictitious (DBZ for example): when a person dies, he stays that way.

"Oh noes, Goku died. *tear*"

"Don't worry, he'll come back again for the 127461892467812674127868th time."

And then they made Raito become more and more ignorant as time went on. He got really sloppy once L died. Just..the whole series goes down hill. I suggest you stop reading after the seventh one.

I knoooooow. Gee, makes you think why the NPA didn't go "Screw this, let's just shoot the bastard already. Gogogadget headshot powers!".


Thankfully I've saved enough cash to buy around 2 volumes, but that leaves buying my siblings gifts a problem.

Hm.

Story of my life.

Eh I make the most of my crappy exam week by buying like one drink for recess and saving the rest of my money.

Problem is finding out volumes past 4, iirc.

It's actually a miracle they even bother shipping manga here.
