How the author could make this masterpiece and then go on to make that turd called Golden Time. Guess it was just luck.

What were Yagami Light's/Kira's mistakes? Where did it all go wrong?
I'm going to focus on two criteria:
*) clear cut, conscious mistakes without the benefit of foresight
*) mistakes made before L's death
No real reason, it just limits the scope. Feel free to add your own lists. I also don't want to second guess his overall plan too much or point out the flaws in bad gambles that worked out in his favor anyway. Again, that's something other people are free to analyze.
I've got 8 major mistakes analyzed and ready. I will split this over multiple posts.
1 of 8, pt 1:
Until the FBI gets involved, Light never exercised caution about what evidence could lead back to him. I am willing to ignore Light's mistake when he tested the Death Note by killing the first victim on TV (which L was able to connect to him). However, once Light finds his conviction to "change the world" by becoming Kira he deserves full blame for failing to think how the police would gather evidence to find him.
Light should have known that the only potential evidence he could be leaving is with the victims themselves: statistical analysis of who, when, where and how the victims died. Light's status as some kind of prodigy/volunteer detective would make this obvious if he had stopped for one minute to think about evidence at all. Even regular detectives do this kind of statistical work for non-supernatural serial killer cases.
1 of 8, pt 2:
Consider all the evidence Light mistakenly creates in this way:
a) he doesn't randomize the time of death, so that L has evidence that Kira is a student
b) he then deliberately manipulates the time of death every hour, so that L has conclusive knowledge that Kira can control the time of death and that Kira probably has access to police information
c) he biases his targets towards Japan, giving evidence on where Kira is
d) he doesn't wait for his first victim to be forgotten, so that L has more evidence that Kira is in Japan
e) even though he eventually schedules killings to occur months in advance, he doesn't also schedule random days or weeks where he doesn't kill criminals for no particular reason nor does he schedule periods where few criminals are killed (but not zero). By establishing a pattern that Kira always kills every day at the highest rate Light can physically manage, it brings suspicion on whenever Light is unable to kill or unable to kill at the same rate.
More mistakes of this sort that aren't as clear cut:
I will ignore that Light tested the limits of the Death Note on prisoners. It obviously has major downsides of giving L more information on Kira's power AND later it gives evidence on which dates Kira felt threatened by the FBI. But Light could reasonably be thinking that testing the Death Note in person would be too risky. There is at least SOME advantage to letting the police observe the test results of his experiments for him.
I will also ignore Light killing Lind L. Tailor. Obviously it was an emotionally charged mistake. Even worse, this mistake provides L the only solid evidence that Kira is unable to kill certain people. If we want to be really generous though we could say that, had Lind L Tailor not been a trap, killing him on live TV would have been a major public relations coup, so there was SOME theoretical advantage to weigh against the downside.

2 of 8:
Light never deliberately leaves evidence pointing AWAY from him and his location. There is no reason he couldn't leave evidence pointing to other regions of Japan or other countries. And he could also leave evidence pointing to specific people to make the investigators run in circles: e.g. when a specific person is hospitalized, he could stop the killings, or when a specific school or university (but not his own) has a break from classes, he could schedule the killings to occur throughout the day instead of after class hours. Or, as in the Yotsuba Corporation plot line, he could kill people that appears to directly benefit some company or person.
3 of 8:
Light kills Ray Penber, and all 12 FBI agents because, in his own words, "if I leave them alone for a few months, the chance I'm caught might rise above zero." This is silly and completely illogical. The FBI doesn't know what it is looking for when it investigates, and the only evidence against Light is that Kira is likely getting information from the Police. Anyone could theoretically be hacking into the Police computers, but killing the FBI agents creates a mountain of new evidence pointing to himself (and a few others). And at this point in the story, Light is already fully aware how the choice of victims leaves evidence.
>>136417153
4 of 8:
When Light meets Misa and learns that she is the second Kira, he doesn't use this chance to tell Misa anything about who L is. Recall that Light ALREADY KNOWS L's face, he knows this is the real L from his father, AND he knows that Misa has the eyes of a Death God. Yet Light does not provide a verbal description of L to Misa (which would be rather unmistakable, given how L stands out), nor does he give her L's fake name and a sketch of his appearance. Heck, giving Misa a photo of L might even be possible, since L is a student of Touou university and helped give the freshman speech! This mistake results in Misa not paying enough attention to L's true name once they run into each other.
5 of 8:
When Light instructs Misa to send the final video to the TV station to reply to the police, he makes it too obvious that the two Kiras are working together. Having L learn that the two Kiras are meeting in secret is also the only real evidence L has to suspect Misa could be the second Kira. Without this suspicion, he might not have collected Misa's DNA to match against the hair samples.
There are all sorts of better videos Misa could have sent on Light's behalf. Most of all, Misa could claim to know/suspect that the Police are impersonating the first Kira in their video. Misa just has to demand proof that the police cannot provide, such as asking the first Kira to prove himself by killing a specific criminal or asking the first Kira to stop the killings for the next X days. To establish credibility that the two Kiras have not formally met each other yet, Misa's video could demand that if the real Kira wants to meet he should provide a video with said proof, and until then she will be waiting and/or the demand that L appear on TV be upheld.

Aaaaaaaand dropped!
What the fuck /a/, you told me this wasn't a typical shoujo but this is just stereotypical alpha bad boy and emotional abuse shit that women get off to.
Why was this piece of shit series hyped up so much on /a/? Has tumblr taken over when I wasn't looking?
That doesn't happen but do you faggot.
This thread isn't even funny in the ironic way you intended.
I really can't tell anymore.
Was Kill la Kill a good anime?

Not really, but watching it with /a/ was sort of fun

It was decent. The OST is great, though.

Mush-Ai finds a way.
So much wasted potential and budget
It was enjoyable and self contained. What's more to ask.
It was pretty good for what it was.
The feeling of adventure it had in the first half is pretty rare in anime these days and the likeable characters still carried it through the second half.
Everything was awful after the recap.

I need to rewatch this series.
Close to me honestly, but I'm intelligent, nihilistic and have a wicked sense of humor.
In case you fucking didn't notice, or read a fucking book, most geniuses in history have in fact been introverts.
