:shock: Omg. That was an intense ending. And what a brilliant story. And usually I watch anime subbed but the dubbed version was done very well.

Yes, it's a great show. I don't see why people say it's so overrated. I know that some people won't like it, and that's fine... But I think "overrated" comes from the fact that it just got a lot more exposure, not necessarily its quality. Although I can't argue with the second half not being as good. I liked the ending, though. It's much better than the way the vast majority of anime end (with open endings.). I like how it actually concluded.

I agree with it going downhill after that happens. But I though the ending was just fine.

It's one of the few "mainstream" manga/anime that aren't crap besides the fact that Tsugumi Ohba is a horrible mangaka.

How did it end in the manga?

[spoiler] Ryuk writes Light's name in the Death Note right in front of everybody, and Light gets down on his hands and knees and begs Ryuk for mercy before he dies. Then we see the aftermath of Kira, with Near grown up and the police force doing their thing and stuff. It's real cool; you should read it. [/spoiler]

It deserves the praise from the fans, the fanatics, the critics, and the fanboys. It's super popular, but it has a brilliant reason and right to be as popular as it is. Methinks.

I actually LOVED the ending of the anime, and far more than the manga's ending. This is with me fanboying the manga before watching the anime. There was a whole lot more symbolism in the anime's ending as well as better music than the manga. "Music was in the Manga?" Exactly!

I can, and pretty much do believe the show gets better, unlike Death note. I also believe that Lelouche is 7 times the man Light could ever be, seeing how, you know, Light is batsane crazy. lol But I still prefer Death Note due to the sheer logical brilliance at the peak of the series. And L. I am not allowed to post this without mentioning L. Though I can clearly understand the Code Geass preference due to certain show-killers like NEAR coming into Death Note. I also had an overall problem with how Death Note ended in both the Manga and the anime. It's like one huge logical plothole.

At its height, Death Note is better (I agree) -but it is the average that brings it down below Code Geass Plus (without wanting to spoil anything): [spoiler] one goes out like a little **** one goes out like a man [/spoiler]

death note is a trash after the half-way point. until then, it's really good. Code Geass is similar to Death Note, in a way that the protagonist is a hopeless chunibyou, and second half fails so hard that you will want to shoot someone in the head. And both of them combined are not even close to the intensity of 20th Century Boys, which itself is still inferior to the godly creation that is called Monster.

no, after that point, the story gets redundant and out of focus. and I dont particularly like him. Heck, the only character I liked was Matsuda.

Okay, who said "Near is better than L"? Light AND Near both acknowledged that L was superior to Near. When both say this, there's a good chance that L is superior. Or did we forget the last episode: "We may not be better than L when alone, but with ALL THREE OF US, we won!" or some teamwork spew like that. The only thing Near has going for him is a different personality than L - which I didn't like.
