Agreed wholeheartedly that the original intro and ending sequences are far better than what replaced them! Also about the Dramatic Writing-In-A-Notebook scenes, and of course there's "I'll take a potato chip...AND EAT IT!", lol. The sheer Drama™ adds to the feel of it all, I guess, since Light and L themselves are deeply dramatic people - the rooftop confrontations in their heads are so completely over the (roof)top, but it just works.
This sounds INCREDIBLE and I'm now sad that this isn't the story we got.
Light gradually losing his mind more and more talking to an L who isn't there, trying to outwit an L who is either a ghost or a figment of his own imagination! Possibly fucking this L, half thinking that'll get rid of him/that'll show him he, Light, has the upper hand after all, and half thinking he is a figment of his own imagination and therefore a manifestation of his, Light's, own awesome self!
Failing all that, Light just masturbates while thinking about how great he is.
This is such absolute perfection that I refuse to believe it's not actual canon. :'D
