I actually like the ending of the live-action Japanese films better. Its mostly the same but they skip the orphanage with new "L" type characters completely and L has a better ending, and that isn't a spoiler btw, lol, its still wild and you will never guess how it ends based on that, lol. I just feel that when L died, the writer felt like he made a mistake and had to write himself out of the corner he painted himself into by flushing out the end of Light's story. The orphanage with new "L" type of characters just felt very forced and wedged in to finish Light's story. Overall, its a good anime, not my favorite but good. There are better ones but Death Note probably influenced a lot anime writers that came after and wrote even better stories, imho. Its a cool and fresh idea of a story but based on how anime is today, its kinda like watching old sitcoms. They pushed the envelope on norms, at the time, that ended up giving us the what we have today. The problem of desensitization, I guess, lol. I didn't watch this anime when it came out and people were talking about it, also, so maybe that's why it didn't blow my mind like it has in others, lol.
