Re: 18 - I agree about the second half of DN. I do think over all it was a bit inferior, but I'm glad it was there, and some great stuff did come out of it. I think the manga as a whole would've been worse off had the story just ended after the first half.

Though, to be honest? I don't really get why so people have a problem with Light's death, so perhaps I'm a bit blinded as to why a lot of people hate the second part of the manga. I mean, to me, his death really is what made the story, you know? We knew right from the start that Light was working toward a contradictory end, because there wasn't a place for someone like him in the world he was trying to create. His death did a lot to balance his overblown rhetoric and naive intentions, since in the end he was still susceptible to the same laws (i.e. laws of nature) as every other person on the planet - despite how much power and control he thought he had.

So even though I found Light to be really interesting, I was glad he died because I really do think it made for a better story than "AND THEN, HE IS GOD" would have. (Although the second ending would perhaps have been more unique!)

Er, sorry for rambling there, but you get the point.

Original anonymous, btw.

I was glad he died because I really do think it made for a better story than "AND THEN, HE IS GOD" would have.

I totally agree. Even though I liked Light, his death left me satisfied because it gave it closure. And it was a creepy death to boot. I would have been disappointed if I never got to see him die.

so perhaps I'm a bit blinded as to why a lot of people hate the second part of the manga.

I think it's less to do with Light's death, and more to do with the fact that the entire fandom completely loves L and so most didn't want to read any more after he died.. Maybe it's just me, but I personally found Light to be much more interesting than L ever was, so I didn't really care about that. :/ *shields herself from thousands of L fangirls* ..And seeing how Light outsmarted L (and Rem) was, again, fascinating.
