i feel like im going crazy, am i the only one who thinks that the characters in death note area ll really dumb and the "smart" ones are barely holding it together?
lets start with the mistakes that should be so clear, a person with a death note killing "bad people" would not go out of there way to kill people chasing him, it draws suspicion and helps narrow down where you are big time. it also goes against a code that was set up really early on. just because they are after you dose not mean they are "bad", and killing them goes against what you are, but here light is doing it anyway like an idiot and then scolds misa for doing something so similar. from then on he just plays catch up with L.
now moving onto L. this guy was supposed to be the super smart guy but he pretty much is so full of doubt that he seems to forget the evidence he gathers and gets a bunch of people that really hinder him and make him more doubtful of his own actions. worse of all he lets them get way to close to him and gets left behind in a lot of things. idk if it was his arrogance or his self doubt that got him in the end.
the police squad was completely useless and only were there to feed L's ego most of the time so when they didnt agree with him they were making him doubt what he already knew which was light was kira.
a lot of what he did was just a little late to what he needed but really he should have tracked light even when he said it was over, or stayed in the shadows in general. once he found out that kira needed a face, he should have given someone outside the known group a list of suspects and all those that had seen his face, then from then on, regardless of what happened, covered his face. then it could not be someone he met but only the very few that had seen his face between him showing up there and his death.
light thou, right from the start, had maybe 2 or 3 really good plans that didnt hurt good people needlessly. still, his problems all stemmed from trying to kill L on tv that first time, just because of his ego.
seriously it is annoying. i cant find one review that points out this sort of thing and all i have ever heard is how smart these characters were and the anime itself was a more intelligent anime but i swear to god the "smart" characters act like children and hardly have common seance, the average person couldnt find north with a compass and directions, and the idiots, well im shocked they can feed themselves much less get to where they are in there professions.
now all that being said i like the anime. its way to hyped and i wish i had gone into it blind, id have enjoyed it more. i did like that they tried to stray from the conventional anime style of all action and jokes and instead went with little to no gore and battles of the mind. its entertaining and i do wish there was more to see.
6.5/10
but thats just my opinion, i encourage you to see it and judge for yourself.
