Reader’s Question:
I’m currently watching Death Note on U-NEXT, and I’m finding it a bit complicated. Up until L’s death, it was pretty straightforward, but after that, it seems to get more complex and I’m starting to lose interest. Is it just me, or does it really get complicated?
The Complexity of
“Death Note” After L’s Arc
So, I recently had a chat with a friend about “Death Note,” and I couldn’t help but think back to my own experience watching it. If you’ve been following the series closely, I completely understand where you’re coming from—things definitely take a turn after L’s death. I remember sitting on my couch, snacks scattered around like I was preparing for a mini feast, and thinking, “Wow, this is getting pretty intricate.”
When the Plot Thickens
For me, L was the heart and soul of the series. His quirky mannerisms and brilliant mind captivated me. I can still picture that moment when he first meets Light—there was this electric tension in the air, and I was practically on the edge of my seat. But after L’s departure, the plot starts to twist and turn in ways I didn’t expect. It felt a bit like trying to solve a legal case without all the evidence—things just got convoluted! While some fans argue that the series could have wrapped up beautifully with L’s arc, I found that there were still some engaging moments even after that pivotal shift. Sure, it’s not as straightforward anymore, and yes, there are parts that feel a bit forced. I mean, the way certain characters are introduced later on can make you scratch your head like you’ve just heard a poorly delivered joke at a party.
Reflections and Thoughts
As I continued to watch, I found myself laughing at some of the absurdities and rolling my eyes at others. There were moments that had me questioning the choices of the characters—like, seriously, did they really think that was going to work? It was almost like watching a courtroom drama where the lawyer pulls a rabbit out of a hat at the last minute. In the end, I think the complexity can either draw you in or push you away, depending on how invested you are in the characters and their journeys. And while I may not have loved every twist, I appreciated the boldness of taking the story in unexpected directions. So, if you’re feeling a bit lost, take a breath and maybe grab some snacks (I always recommend popcorn or something sweet). Sometimes, a little indulgence can make even the most complicated plots a bit more bearable! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. How do you feel about the series after L’s arc? Are there any particular moments that stood out to you, or do you have tips for getting through the more complicated parts? Share your experiences in the comments!
