Dear Self: You Cannot Spend Sixty Pounds On A Manga Boxset.
SERIOUSLY, GUYS, SOMEONE WRITE/DRAW ME LIGHT/HIMSELF. PLEASE. HE IS SUCH A NARCISSIST AND THIS NEEDS TO EXIST. I have a mental image of Kira!Light pinning down non-Kira!Light's wrists and smirking at him, and it is amazing. I would love to bring it into the physical world. It is such a shame that I have no artistic ability whatsoever.
Ahem. Anyway, I have now finished watching Death Note.
I became quite emotional during the final episode, actually. There's just something a bit horrible about seeing controlled, calculating, intelligent Light reduced to a pathetic mess.
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FEELING SORRY FOR A DERANGED MASS-MURDERER.
SERIOUSLY, DEATH NOTE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME? If I end up in prison, I'm blaming you.
Other notes:
- Oh, oh, Matsuda was so betrayed. I want to give the poor man a hug. He always believed in Light!
- Near: you're all right, I suppose, but you cannot replace L in my heart. It did feel a little too 'OH, HEY, L'S BACK, EXCEPT WITH WHITE HAIR AND WITHOUT THE TRAGIC UNREQUITED CRUSH ON KIRA. ALSO, HIS QUIRK IS NOW TOYS INSTEAD OF SWEETS'. If you want to kill L, writers, kill L; if you want L around, don't kill L. You can't just kill L and then bring in L the Second!
- Really, Death Note did rather go downhill after L's death. I still enjoyed it, but not to quite the same extent. Woe. This, I think, was in part because, y'know, no L, and in part because it just became too complicated.
- Also, I was a little sad at the lack of interaction between Light and Ryuuku in later episodes. They had an oddly adorable relationship.
- Was - was that Matt? The man who appeared in one episode, had two lines of interior monologue and two lines of dialogue, and was then shot to death? Don't people massively 'ship him with Mello or something? He barely even appears. Does he have more of a part in the manga? Was I mistaken in my belief that Matt/Mello was an enormously popular pairing? I am so confused!
- Light! So sad! So inexplicably sad! (I cannot believe I am mourning Light. He is just a terrible person in so many, many ways. And yet!)
This is probably my favourite scene in the whole of Death Note. I laughed so hard. It is simply not what one expects of a terrifying god of death.
In conclusion, Death Note is essentially a murder mystery that tells you who the murderer is before he starts murdering. It is a slightly odd concept, but I think it works.

Thing is, I could have liked Kira. Then he started killing innocents along with the guilty and not caring about his family and no, that is not okay.
alhlgkjghs XDXD at wondering about Matt. His part is a little bigger in the manga but no, you're right, that's mostly it. I sort of ignored both Mello and Matt (and Near...) until a friend starting writing M/M fics. Mostly they were centered around speculation of why Matt hung with Mello and was willing to fight and die for him (especially considering this guy was number 3 and didn't really seem to...care). It's a fannon Matt, but a Could Be senario and I liked that.
XD "whee...plonk."

I did find the ending very sad, though. I don't know why. I think perhaps part of it was the fact that we had those episodes in the middle with the innocent Light, and we realised what he could have been had he never found the Death Note. Kira had to die, really, but Light didn't have to be Kira.
