Later, Light finds L standing in the rain on the roof of headquarters with the latter lamenting how distant he is from other people. The two of them converse and realize how often they, like most people, lie. When they both return indoors to join the rest of the Task Force, L reveals that he is planning on testing the fake 13-day rule by having a condemned criminal write in the Death Note. Before L can go through with the plan, Rem succumbs to her love for Misa and kills Watari, who presses a button that sets off an alarm and wipes the hard drive of the Task Force headquarters. L stares at the image of Watari on his computer screen in awe, but before he can react, his eyes suddenly widen and he falls out of his chair into Light’s arms, having had his name written in Rem’s notebook as well. L stares up at Light, who grins devilishly. Realizing that he solved the case and his deduction was right all along, L’s eyes close and he dies peacefully. The action of saving Misa’s life in turn kills Rem, whose body is reduced to a dust-like substance, leaving only her notebook. After secretly snatching away Rem’s notebook, Light claims to the Task Force that he will avenge Watari and L by solving the case. With everything standing in his way gone, Light silently declares himself “God of the New World.”
Did Hideaki Anno just bust into Mad House for no reason crying “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT” then proceed to sit down and write, storyboard and direct Death Note episode 25? That’s probably not the case at all, as I doubt Anno is even the least bit interested in Death Note, but damn that episode was so fucking Anno I nearly cried tears of justice. Well, I guess it would be more tears of pretentious arty directing.
The Death Note anime has been a bumpy ride for me. I was very impressed with the first episode, so much so that I went out and bought the first four volumes of the manga right after I watched it. After that it was a bit of a trudge, as all the tension that was meant to be there was lost on me, as I had just read the manga beforehand. That and the anime wasn’t really doing anything to enhance the material, like it did with episode 1. I really like the first episode because it took advantage of its medium. That one montage where Light was killing the criminals was beautiful, and something that could have never been done in manga. The episodes after that were more or less a play by play of the source material, and were quite safe. One thing I think hurt later installments were just how static the long inner monologues became. I think they could have enhanced those a bit, to make them more visually interesting. However, between episodes 1 and 25 there were some really great episodes which truly put more life into certain events than there was in the manga, specifically the latest episodes.
Now we are at episode 25. The interesting thing about this one is that there is a lot of new material that pads out the, erm, “main event” quite well. The additional scenes helped flesh out the characters a bit more. If there’s one thing the Death Note manga misses, it’s characterization. The manga is very focused on telling the story, and leaves little room for quiet introspective moments. That one scene with L on the roof was good, as it showed his weakness and distinct lack of confidence. The scene with Misa singing does something similar. Overall, it was nice to see an episode where the tension was off, but didn’t necessarily feel relaxed? Something like that.
Sadly, I doubt we’ll see many episodes like this again, especially considering where the story is going to head now and given the quality of most of the other episodes. I’d just like to note, I’ve not read the end of the Death Note manga. I am keeping up with Viz’s release, as I am not fond of reading things on my PC. I wonder if I’ll see the end of the anime before the end of the manga? I actually hear the manga end is dissapointing. Maybe the anime will change things up? Who knows.
I think that L is going to become a shinigami because when he was a child he came in contact with a Death Note but lost his memory when he let it go, and its amazing to think that he figured out everything about it again without coming in contact with one on his own.
Holy crap!I love L!I’m going to f****** kill Kira aka Light!My friend saw him and now she likes him and Zac efron!It f****** p***** me off!Anyway,I have a whole poster of L!I can’t believe he DIED !WHEN I SEE HIS FACE LIKE THAT I F****** CRIED!I AM WAS IN LOVE WITH L!,AND I STILL AM!DEATH NOTE RULES!EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR LIGHT!I CRIED THE WHOLE F****** NIGHT!
DEATH NOTE: EASILY THE BEST ANIME EVER! =[ too bad “L” dies. He was so effin cool.
I watched Death Note in two days.. that’s how obsessed I was. But I came to realize that Death Note is absolutely -nothing- without L. Sure, Light is an amazing character, but to be honest.. I was only looking for L’s appearance in every single episode. Hell, when that Mikami had his entrance in the series I really thought it was a three-year older L (hallucination). Man, I’ve been crying the whole day.. and even though I love Near almost as much as Hitsugaya in Bleach, he couldn’t take L’s place.
L’s death ruined Death Note for me.
