Screw Light! I can't wait to see him die, that sick son of a dog deserves it. He should have never killed the"real" L, that pissed me off.

[KH Vandread]

Well, if that's the case, you should hate Rem, not Light, since she is the one who actually killed him.

Also, get over it.

I'm glad Light died. I think the guy got what he deserved. Granted, he's an awesome character, but his death had karma written all over it.

I'm just kind of disappointed Near got all the credit for it. I really wish the series would have at least one damn ending where Light or L won and one ended up surviving the ordeal. But uh, after watching through the dub, I've lightened up on Near quite a bit. Still don't consider him on par with L though.

Eh, this is true.

We almost had that with the Director's Cut, but the Ryuk had to follow through with what he said. I guess a Light with no competition just was not entertaining enough for him.

As for Near, now that I think about it, I don't believe anyone really gave him full credit, not even himself. Everyone knows that L did most of the work; Near just finished the job and survived. Although he says he surpassed L, he also admitted that he could not have captured Kira if it were not for Mello and I'm sure he knows that his victory could not have been ascertained without L's progress.

[Steve]

Yeah, I guess my [previous] blind hatred for Near was pretty unjustified. I just remember during my first time watching the series, it was just hard for me to enjoy Near when he appeared as nothing more than a cardboard copy of L. But as for the credit issue, I guess you're right, now that I think about it as well.

[KH Vandread]

Yeah, his appearance and habits made it a bit difficult to see him as much else.

The mask at the end of the series didn't help matters much either.

His little finger puppets freaked me out, lol

True.
Ever so true.
............I still dislike him though.

Well I didn't say that because I like Light (although I do) I said it because Near was a pale imitation of the L we knew and loved. He didn't figure anything out by himself, and if it weren't for Mello, he would have died.

yeah the show just hasn't been as good since L died.

Also is the manga better than the show or is it about the same

[Dogenzaka]

I agreed with Cursed until I read the manga, it made Near's victory so much more deserving and agreeable.

Manga puts the show to freaking shame.
2nd half of series in manga > the anime. Seriously. The manga just makes everything so much more clear and awesome.

[Royale]

So, uh, Light's lol finale was good, but not great.

Was still fun seeing Matsuda go all crazy and shit.

[risingfalls]

^Agreed.
The VA did a pretty good job.
I always cringe at Mikami's little suicide scene, so that was fun to watch =/

[KH Vandread]

Ugh, I wasn't at home to see the laugh, so I'll catch it on the repeat later tonight.

Though, it does my heart good to not see a complete shitstorm from the two who posted about it already.

[Steve]

Yeah, Brad Swaile wasn't quite on par with his Japanese counterpart, but he definitely did the laugh justice (lol pun).
