Only in Japan will you find this quality writing, folks.

Well yeah, L kinda narrowed it down to that single prefecture right away.
Because he was arrogant enough that he wanted people to know about him.
>>70700316
For an anime that first season was pretty great. I was completely ready to hate it outright but after a few eps I was hooked. Goes to shit after L dies though.
Moral of the story was that power corrupts the incorruptible.
>>70700456
Then... they weren't incorruptible???
>>70700316
dude L finds the fucking city he lives in within like a few days.
Also the show kind of explains why he gets caught. Also His dad is leading the investigation about him, he doesn't want to just kill his dad.
Ill take a potato chip....AND EAT IT
>>70700316
i have no hope for the american adaptation
>>70700478
That's the point. He thought he was above it all. He wasn't.
>>70700644
That doesn't mean he was incorruptible, then. That just means he was a self-righteous prick.
>>70700812
Man you're dense as shit.
>>70700856
Tell that to Zod's snapped neck.
>>70700812
The whole point of "power corrupts" is to emphasize those who think having power won't corrupt them. They think they're incorruptible. Light thought he was incorruptible. He wasn't. It's a perception issue.

>Report submitted! This window will close in 3 seconds...
>>70700639
B-but muh Wingard tho
>>70700316
Yea he was the perfect villain.
Totally methodical, intelligent and cunning.
The artist wrote himself into a hole, Kira was too perfect.
>>70700316

I don't really like anime but Deathnote is pretty good desu. Cowboy Bebop is still the best anime I've ever seen, but Deathnote is pretty enjoyable overall.
>>70701597
>Death Note wasn't aired on television
also, there's three movies and a live action television series you dumbass
>>70701557
his mind fell apart
>>70700316
his pride is what killed him
>>70700961
So it's not that power corrupts those who are incorruptible, it's just that nobody is incorruptible at all and those who think they are incorruptible often are the most corruptible.

You're trying too hard.
>>70700316
The antagonist doesn't reveal his name until he is protected, or the protagonist would be incriminated if he died. Or something like that, I can't remember specifically. Regardless, the guy investigating isn't a drooling retard. I didn't particularly like it.
>>70701654
Nope.
L literally figured out it was him by like ep 7 even though he had no evidence at all
>>70701807
Tell that to Kanjiklub's snapped neck.
>>70701897
L figured him out because Kira kept playing with L, being baited and otherwise giving credence to Ls theories
>>70701990
Nope.
Ls theories were based entirely on hunches. Kira tied up every single loose end every time, but L still goes "nope, its him"
>>70700372
Only because Light was a dumb bitch who couldn't figure out that killing people in not only the same prefecture, but same country, kind of gives away his location.
>>70701802
Surprised there already wasn't a thread on that. Is the Netflix movie supposed to be the same story?
>>70701653
yeah man OP and everyone else were totally referring to the live action and the movies, there's a different board to discuss weebshit
>>70702116
>in hindsight I could do it better
>>70701738
You dense brick
>>70702296
They're the same fucking story with only minor changes. They're basically interchangeable, plus there's a new movie coming out you retarded piece of shit.
>he didn't write Trump's name
How can you fuck up that bad?
>>70700316
if only Light hadn't been playing Shadow the Hedgehog all week then he wouldn't havecompletely given himself away by going, "WELL NEAR, LOOKS LIKE I WIN" and spilling his spaghetti all over the place right before his brilliant plan goes completely to shitand he could havegotten out of that warehouse alive
>>70702768
He was too thrilled at havingbeaten "L" once again.I was kinda pissed though.
>>70702745
>he didn't write Krager's name
I'm not even a weeb but Japanese story writing is on average better and smarter than western story writing. Animes are great exactly for the reason that you never know if there will be a happy ending (=protagonist wins).
>>70702768
to be fair near was fucking retarded too, he just ended up being right
>hurr there's a guy on tv right this second that says he supports Kira
>there are millions of people that support Kira and I have no knowledge about this random person on tv
>this means I should put all of my very few resources and time into investigating this random stranger being interviewed because I am now sure that he is the second Kira
>he ends up being right and only won because he was looking at the tv at that exact time
>>70704439
Who was the feller on TV? I don't remember this.
>>70704704
the random prosecutor who gets the second death note and ends up ruining everything by being sloppy
>>70704752
Oh yeah. I'd say it was Light's fault for entrusting some zealot.
>>70704855
not really because there was no chance of the guy being caught
when you watch it again you can see that nears entire plan hinges on this random guy who he just saw on tv being the second kira, it's ridiculous
