Death Note-Episode 37

It is finally over. Quite a good ending. Just perfect, I should say. Light died the way he deserved to die. But a part of me wishes that he should have realised his mistake and they should have shown him regretting his mistakes...but wait...they did actually show him regretting when they showed him running with the wounds, recalling his past before he got the death note. It was nice to hear him cry for Misa and Takada in the end.

The character worthy of mention in this final episode is Matsuda. Throughout the anime, he was quite useless in the task force (though he did lighten up the mood). I'm proud of him. If he hadn't shot Light, I'm quite sure that Light would've gotten away with even this terrible situation.

I would have liked an extra episode devoted to justifying the fact that killing evil people is not a solution. I know it is wrong to kill, no matter who you are killing. But I cannot help but notice that what Light did definitely brought good into the world. The wars and fights and crimes did reduce.

That final episode should have also shown Sayu, Light's mother, the task force members, Near and other characters post Light's death. It would have also been nice to see what happened in the world when people learned that Kira is dead.

But, of course, critics would definitely say that the last episode was useless.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happened to Mikami in the end. He just started bleeding.

I was wikipedia-ing. And I found that L's real name is L Lawliet. Interesting. I wonder whether this was revealed in this anime.

No matter what I said beforehand, this anime was great and deserves all the praise it gets.
