I think I get what you mean. After Light gave up the Death note the show is pretty different, and his character in some sense is gone. I'll probably still watch the second season.

Lol, that's not what people are referring to at all.

yeah it became imbalanced, as if the character was no longer the same person.

Exactly. But they had no choice. I honestly thought they would just leave the show with him becoming a god and using the death note to make a world without evil.

But the only way to avoid that is by making everything they built him up to be as just a lie.

^

The entire time (from the second episode on) he makes errors because of his own arrogance. That along with the errors of EVERYONE else he ever associated with were always his problem. His arrogance grew and grew. After episode 26 he started really believing that he was an infallible God and he acted accordingly to that notion. I love seeing his slow decent from methodically precise to chaotic and misguided. It's an entire show that chronicles a brilliant man's decent into madness. I know I'm a fanboy, but there's plenty of good in the late episode of the show and after I had really thought about the ending, I came to the conclusion that there was no other way to really end it.


Edit - The only thing that really bothered me was the hotel room meetings and how sloppy he was there. Once again though, I think that's just another show of his arrogance. He felt the rest of the NPA were so insignificant (they were) that he didn't have to do a damn thing about it. All of that ended up being pointless. Light had made it so painstakingly obvious of his true identity to anyone not associated with the NPA that he didn't really have a lot of options other than a pure offensive approach.

He got cocky because he defeated L (the only person he thought could match/beat him).

Plz edit... the person who made this thread hasn't watched the show. That's just fucked.

But yet you quoted him?

^Came to argue but it's a rather good point, still he was so clever/mythodical like you said, went a bit mad but shouldn't have been so arrogant when things started to go wrong/how much danger
Need to rewatch think it was like the first anime i watched all those years ago
It's still super good despite my opinions on the end

And don't worry i'm sure op knows this thread is going to end up full of spoilers and will be careful if he cares

Was going to edit it out if he bothered to edit it before the deadline, had a reminder on my phone.




Seems like he was burning through them, hopefully he's into N+M by the time he comes back.
