[HyugaHinata]

Personally, I'm glad it's finally over, and I'm glad they condensed the Higuchi arc.

[Pakxenon]

Spoiler:

Man, don't suppose you can share? I'm dying to see the RAW for this too. Very curious whether they will stick to the manga end.

[Albert-Wesker 3rd]

Watching it as I type.

[zalem]

Downloading it right now.....

Time to see if:

Spoiler for ep 37:

Light goes for Olympic gold!

[Albert-Wesker 3rd]

My god light is at first a whiney bitch and now completely insane.

Madhouse changed the ending from the manga completely.

Spoiler for Anime Ending:

Spoiler for Warning:

Spoiler for Last chance:

Light gets away from the group. They spend time searching the factory. They can't find his. Light takes time to rest(Due to his bullet wound) and as he sits there is shows Ryuk sitting on a tower. He rights Light's name in the death note and says something. Then it shows Misa on a train. Then it goes back to Light and we hear the famous heartbeat. Then we see Misa on top of a building at the edge, She closes her eyes then the camera pans away. Then back to Light and he looks to his right and sees L. Then he slowly closes his eyes. Pan to the entire factory complex then it looks at the moon. End. All while soft music being played. I am pissed. Not as climactic as manga.

[aardvark]

It's over.

Spoiler:

We had Swimming Lessons, although brief, but they were there.

A very melancholic end for Light. Mikami kills himself in a very gruesome way. Near still wins. Misa possibly kills herself, it's not shown but heavily implied.

The montage of Light running while flashbacks of his younger self waking down the street was done really well.The final scenes with Light laying on the stairwell and seeing the silhouette of L as he dies were perfect. I chance to say I prefer this to the manga's ending.

[Albert-Wesker 3rd]

It was a good ending no doubt.


But

Spoiler for Manga:

I wanted to see the look on Light's face when Ryuk told him there was only nothingness after death. The manga's ending alot more, I guess action. Can anyone who understand Japanese tell me what Ryuk said when he wrote Light's name down? This ending makes it seem like there is a heaven and hell, while the manga's said there isn't.

[zalem]

Well, the overall outcome is the same as the manga, but they did make some interesting changes. I might like this slightly better than the manga end (I hated the manga end), but....I think I need to watch it again.

Spoiler for ep 37 v. manga:

It's good that they show that with Misa...though technically she's not supposed to kill herself until a year later. They also totally skipped the last few scenes in the manga when they go a year into the future and you see that the world has gone back to how it was before Kira.

But I like it better ending at this point instead. Light was still pathetic, unfortunately, but he wasn't quite as pathetic as he is in the manga. We don't see the begging and screaming he did at the end of the manga in the anime. So it makes it slightly more tolerable.

I really like the scenes where he's running and we see his younger self...sort of sad. Also the end where he sees L is fitting. This ending is actually more melancholy than the manga ending.

I still would have preferred that they kill Near off at least. *sighs* Oh well...I really wasn't expecting them to change anything.

It was said in eyecatch

Spoiler:

that when human dies, place they go is MU.

[pomps]

Spoiler for Ryuku:

Ryuku said Light lost, completely, and as a rule, he had to right the name of the one who used the DN anyway, it's not interesting anymore since Light had lost and he hates to wait for Light to die in prison so he wrote Light's name in his own DN. Ryuku said they both had a good time .
And I like the manga ending more, want to see Light's face when Ryuku tell him he'll write his name instead of the others

[Albert-Wesker 3rd]

O well, was still good. I liked the manga and anime alot. Both endings were good, I prefer the manga's and that is just me. Been a fun nine and a half months. At least they both offer something different.

Now I am sad, no more great suspense. I will miss my favorite shinigami.

Spoiler for ep 37:

Well, during those commercial break Death Note rule scenes they *did* have the whole "when humans die they go to Mu (Nothingness)" thing, so I guess that still applies? Though Ryuk didn't actually say the line himself in the anime.
