Who did people fancy more between L or Light back in the days?
>>288400443The hero trying to make the world a better place is more likeable than the villain standing in the way of progress.
>>288400526eeeh, that is so vague.. are you referring to L or to Light as being either the hero and the villain?
>>288400443It was definitely L, there is a reason why almost everyone says the series turns to shit after L dies
L>unlawful execution>cp video surveilance of Lights sister>kidnapping>torturing>money laundering>tax evasion>theft>drug abuse>driving without a licenseAnd to think he was the good guy
>>288400621>It was definitely Lwhy? because he always ended up on the winning side and Light really never won against him (he didn't even kill him)?
>>288400443It was always L and it still is L
>>288400443What's going on in the picture? I don't remember these scenes at all.
>>288400443All the people I've met irl regardless of age or gender loved L and like 70% of them dropped the show when he died.
>>288400685L realized he was going to die the very same day so he tried to sensually manipulate Lights feelings by massaging his feets thinking it's the most euphoric sensation he could give him.
>>288400707L was replaced by N which was pretty much the same character except his hair was white instead of blue.
I only remember the first 7 episodes
>>288400443I watched Death Note in 2009 when I was 14 and I remember being utterly destroyed when Light stabbed L in the back. It was a disgusting conclusion. I hated it.
>>288400741how could you forget the foot massage?it's arguably one of the most memorable scenes ever made
>>288400730Saying that N is pretty much the same as L is a bad opinion that marks you as someone who probably didn't watch/read or pay attention to the show. You can always be autistic though.
>>288400612Only one of them is trying to change the world, and it just obvious that L is the villain.
>>288400805Hahaha, I see you're still a child, stating facts without arguments while striking with verbal downplays thinking that will convince the one you're arguing with. Arguing on the internet isn't about winning mate. It's about becoming a better person. You should try that and maybe then you'll grow up.
>>288400889If they're facts why would you need to argue anything?
>>288400922Retard
>>288400871>trying to change the world,meh, we don't actually get to see if the world becomes better or not as a result of Light killing criminals nonstop
>>288400994The writer, editor, magazine, someone didn't want the hero to succeed so it's a tragic story.
>>288400443The premise of this movie is so stupid. There's 10 billion people in the world. Assume 1 in 1000 is evil. That's 10 million evil people in the world. Assume you can kill 1000 of them a day by writing in their name in your notebook. It'll take 10k days or about 30 years to kill them all and that's with the assumption no new evil men will get born. Also, how the fuck can you write 10 million names in that small book, there's no way unless the pages magically replenish themselves.
>>288400634>cp video surveilance of Lights sisterThe real culprit was the idiotic father who allowed them to set up multiple cameras in his daughters and wifes bathroom and let multiple men watch them doing the stuff they do. Yeah, it will surely prove their innocence. Such a japanese hentai way of thinking.
>>288401028That's not how intelligent beings respond to a changing environment. If you were intelligent you'd understand.
>>288400526Yeah i agree there's a reason light's the protagonist.
>>288401049Are you saying criminals are among the more intelligent beings?
>>288401028Don't forget Light mostly killed criminals who got captured. It's not like he tried to change to world by killing politicians, billionaries, mafia bosses, yakuza and other scumbags who abuses violence and resources to gain power.
>>288401107Doing that would be much more controversial, you can't blame him for being normal.
>>288401180True he kills criminals and it's already controversial, if they had written him to kill people in positions of power this Manga would have never been published
>>288401028>unless the pages magically replenish themselves.they do actually, but that's not important
is this show good or has it aged badly? it doesn't "look" that great desu but I see they say its among the best
Light started off noble, but he went irrefutably evil pretty damn quick.L did some authoritarian bullshit, but anything you could criticize him for is like blaming someone for harming the person trying to kill them.
>>288401977It's stupid and conceipted. If you don't let that bother you it's cool. If you're looking for a 10/10 flawless grandmasterpiece that completely changes your understanding of storytelling you're gonna kill yourself
>>288400443They're both retarded, obnoxious characters.
>>288401977>>288402133i would say that it is 10/10 for the majority of it, but 8/10 or 7/10 for the back endit kind of has that whole ass epilogue arc that you never really see in shows. it's cool to see how the world changes and get to take a beat in a post-death note world. it's just not as good as the light vs L story though
>>288400526nowadays villains are far more likeda villain can commit many mass murders and rapes, and all he has to do is say sowwy and he’s all forgiven and redeemedmeanwhile hero cannot slip up even once or he is slandered for life
>>288400642what the fuck is your retarded criteria for liking a character? Only retards care about "feats"
>>288400443Near was better
>>288402059So if someone in your family was a suspect you'd accept full serveilance of your 5-year old daughter and of your wife?Are you a cuck?
>>288402280L was full Sherlock Holmes-caricature. Replace the hat with stylish blue hair, the coke with a cake, the violin-playing with dice-stacking and the walking around with sitting with your smelly feets up in the air in the chair.I just don't get what people see in him or his actions but please go ahead and educate your fellow man.
>>288402670L wouldn't move on because he was like 99% sure it was Light. Whatever percent he says he's sure of something, add 50 for what he really thinks.If Light was the killer, everything made sense. All the various bits of evidence would make sense if Light was the killer. He just didn't have smoking gun proof.
>>288404626>Whatever percent he says he's sure of something, add 50 for what he really thinks.dumb retcon by author well after he wrote the story and forgot most of what he has already writtenwe have listened to his inner thoughts, and he mentioned those small percentages in those too.
>>288400443>knows that a psycho criminal is committing mass murder with supernatural powers>does nothing and loses because there's no physical (((proof))) to show in the court of lawL is the biggest fucking pussy in all anime and deserved to lose. What a fucking bitch made faggot.
>>288404780without that physical proof he doesn't "know", that is the entire point of evidence.
>>288404780What, did you want him to physically punch light or something?
>>288400634>cp video surveilance of Lights sister>14>childbruh
>>288404674>word of god>fits L's personality>makes all of L' percentages fit
>>288400621>there is a reason why almost everyone says the series turns to shit after L diesBecause L replacements are terrible and Light starting acting more retarded
>>288400634It's OK, because Light is making edgy and scary faces (lets ignore that it's his "I solved that puzzle" face)
>>288405621Light was always acting like a retarded egomaniac.Late series was just his retardation not held in check by L.
Rewatching any of Death Note after you're no longer in high school is painfully cringe. Light deserved a thousand more deaths
>>288405885>tfw started going to uni while the MANGO was finishingI never rewatched so I keep nice memories of it
>>288405885I've rewatched two times and imo it still holds up pretty well
Dumb bitch halfed her remaining life twice and still managed to outlive L, Light and Takada. If you stupid is your life a bliss but if you're smart you're a fart.
>>288400621The main reason it sucks is because Light is a fag for living with >>288406477 for five years without ever impregnating her
>>288400621I pretend anime ends after L dies. That really keeps me from reccomending it to people
>>288400721Uh.... no.
>>288404674L won in the anime
>>288407896I mean in the films
>>288400685That's from the OP dude
>>288401977It has become a classic. If you want to recommend a normie their first anime, you can't go wrong with Death Note. Even the dub is good.
>>288400634What if Sayu started masturbating in the bathroom, or she let a boy sneak into the house to have sex while the parents were outside?Would L have analyzed every video frame with Soichiro, to be sure that Sayu wasn't killing criminals while getting railed on the bed?
>>288409283I was under the assumption he was more into feets. I bet he stocked every clip he could get of her painting her toenails or removing her socks. Or maybe he wasn't into girls but focused more on seeing Light shaving his legs...
>>288402725The feets were fragrant because he never wears shoes.
Honestly does Near even have a leg to stand on? He says, "Kira's just a serial killer" but by that point most nations had positioned an official policy stance of either looking the other way on or outright endorsing Kira. By that point wouldn't it just be that he's just a severely nontraditional executioner?
>>288401977fun trainwreck kinda like cote, honestly cote has more filler
>>288410725When Near and Mello arrives they seem to have instant grasp about the existance of the Death Note and how it works. It's like they're using cheatcodes. Mello kidnaps the director of NPA and demands the Death Note in return, there's no explanation of how they knew.
