>Be able to commit crimes with a 100% guarantee of not getting caught
>Still get caught
Japanese """"""writers"""""" have to be the dumbest motherfuckers ever.
>>71037418
Well I can agree that the concept seems pretty lame and was the reason I never picked it up. However Japanese have some really neat stories too. Kabaneri of the iron fortress is a great concept I think check that out.
>>71037418
It's almost like you didn't read/watch the story.
>Despite this shit people still whine and bitch about whitewashing anime's.
>>71037418
Caught these on SBS when I was younger. Fun times honestly, I wonder if they hold up.
Never saw the movie version of it.
The anime had a fucking asspull though. I assume this did as well?
>>71037418
>Light is the same guy that played live action Kaiji
>>71038025
What's the asspull in the anime? I got halfway through season 2 and couldn't stand it any more.
>reminder that anime ended at episode 25
I never watched the anime.
how exactly does he get caught? I know the core concept (hurr notebook he can write someone's name and they die). How can you get caught from that? Wouldn't you just keep it in your room, never tell anyone about it, and only use it when the door's locked and window's closed?
Or does someone find it and that sets off some chain of events that leads to him getting caught?
>>71039023
Some faggot superdetective baited him into writing down someone's name who was doing a 'nation wide broadcast' across Japan, but it was actually only broadcasting in that one city.
Then they narrowed it down more by checking the times of deaths and figuring out they were done on a schedule that a school kid would keep (More on weekends, school holidays, etc). I forget other things they did, but you get the idea.
>>71038886
>not episode 16
>>71039023
Literally watch the first two episodes
>>71039023
Everyone who has posted thus far is lacking in basic comprehension. The main character specifically says he's going to kill his victims in the same way so the public knows someone is judging them. He's got a god complex and that is how the authorities catch him.
Also, fuck you for making me reply. You post this shit every day.
>>71039023
The show implies that having that kinda' power would generate an insane arrogance. Especially when you're like the main protagonist who pictures himself a god of the new world, free of crime and violence.
When you're that high on yourself you interpret everyone's challenge as something you have to quench personally. And that's the arrogance that leads him to failure.
The show's still incredible, and even the movies are well-worth watching. The entire premise is essentially "how do you catch someone who cannot be caught"?
>>71037418
Are the live action movies any good? I mean, watchable atleast
>>71039329
Very much so. The anime and the show end very differently though, so if you like one and want to see an "alternative timeline" you shouldn't be afraid to watch the other.
>>71039380
>*the anime and the movie
It's really early where I live.
>>71039156
Really, the only reason Light got caught was because he had a ridiculous god complex and made some pretty dumb moves.
Aside from the nation-wide broadcast bluff, what comes to mind....
>As soon as the police realize Kira's basically killing on a student's schedule, he immediately shows them he can kill at any time....which means they know he's probably related to a police officer.
>When the police have people investigating police relatives, Light has the guy who's keeping an eye on him killed, literally about an hour right before he was about to report Light wasn't suspicious at all.
Honestly, I think killing Ray Penbar was his biggest goof since it pointed L right to him, and he needed to make some desperation plays to not get caught right then.
>>71039607
The plays following Ray's death were clever though.
Where clever started turning stale was when he handed the note to that corporation.
Where stale turned to retarded was when the show continued afterL died.
>>71039789
I think it might have been because the anime couldnt get his thought process, but I was kinda annoyed how Near in the second half just started pulling all these assumptions out of his ass that always ended up being 100% correct out of fucking nowhere,.
>>71039320
But it's okay. Idiots will ignore Lights character flaw and just say it's bad writing for him to keep being baited.
>>71039836
Agree. To me the dumbest shit was the killing blow.
I don't remember exactly how it went, but N found out where Light hid the notebook and copied it so that when he tried to use it on them he failed.
And all this was just """assumptions""".
Honestly the movies did a lot more justice to the death of Light than N ever did.
>>71037418
What other animes really makes you think?

Really makes you think.

Why?
>>71037418
Based Ryuk in live action had me shitting brix when i was younger
>>71039607
I always wished that the Ray thing was what came back to get him in the end. It felt like his first genuinely evil kill. Like maybe Ray's fiancee survived somehow, since she was so close to identifying Light. One of the note rules was that a person couldn't die in a situation that was impossible, so I hoped they'd pull a twist where suicide would be so out of her character that the note failed to kill her. Sadly, that whole thing went nowhere.
>>71037950
>Japanese have some really neat stories
more like NEET stories xD
Someone notice me please. Even if it's absolute hate I'd just like to be recognised by someone, anyone.
>>71040631
That would have been a neat twist and would have added more credibility to N's pointless shit.
If I remember right Light specified that she was to kill herself and make it look as close to a natural suicide as possible.
The point was that if he'd phrased that in a specific way they could have pulled a really cool plot-twist out of it.
>>71040695
Have a moment in the sun, friend. I'm sure you're a good person.

I tried to watch the anime and lost interest when they introduced the girl. I heard that later on L dies, glad I dropped it.
>>71041528
Right now, I'm sitting by my keyboard and I'm thinking about the person who wrote your post. That person is you. And as I write this I smile because I have faith in that person.
Have a great day.
>>71041589
The girl dies in 2 episodes.
L dies at the end of the first "season" (I don't know if you can call it that). After that the show stops being worth watching, but if you ever go back to it, try to get at least TO that point.
The way L dies and how Light handles it is really worth watching.
>>71037418
Think of L as Mulder and Scully's forces combined into one autistic genius shut in.
This was so xfiles

>>71041756
Don't be mean, Anon. I ment it.
>>71041472
It's been like 10 years since I read the manga and it was a fan translation but I believe he'd phrased it something like she'd commit suicide in a way that her body wouldn't be found for a long time. So it would have made sense, she disappears, he thinks he succeeded, she's just lying low and waiting for her moment. All the women in Death Note were shitty though, so par for the course.
>>71042057
Yeah but looking back at it, I don't know how they could have phrased it in such a way that made Light come of as intelligent AND a way that would leave her some room to wiggle out of it.
It'd be a tricky line because it'd have to come across as something that'd be "clever enough" to sound as if Light had really thought it out, while also being vague enough for her to find a loophole through it.
And I can honestly not think of any such phrasing.
>>71037950
Awful bait.
No matter what you think of Death Note, Kabaneri is literally just zombies and trains; it doesn't really get more creatively bankrupt than doing a 'zombies and [ insert something here ]'.

Yea
Every sigle one of Ls hunches was right, based on pretty much no information.
Just the idea of a method that can kill people magically is ludicrous, yet it is a basic assumption if Ls without any previous knowledge of the death note

Seriously what is this? I was just noticing it. Does this guy do all the anime adaptations? He doesn't even look like Kaiji

Keit-ai. Like the title says. Kimi no na wa is something different.
>>71039380
What about the tv series that came out last year? I saw the first two eps I think but couldn't be bothered with the rest. Light was actually a normal guy who felt guilty and shit (great decision, much less boring than having him with no conscience at all frmo the beginning), did that change anything?
>>71037418
At least Japanese writers have some imagination. Western anything is always derivative and fucking boring.
