The Raw of ep 37 has been up for a while now, so i want your opinions on the slightly changed ending of the series.
I loved this ep and prefer this ending more than the manga one. The outcome is overall the same, with some cosmetical changes, like Light doesn't beg for his life in front of Ryuk and the suicide of Mikami. He also shows some kind of mercy and sees, that he himself has changed from like has was before he found the note.They left the last chapter, which was a good idea, because it would have thrown only more questions.
So what do you say, to this epic end :)

Better ending IMO too, the very end of manga where the people are worshipping Kira really adds nothing and instead confuse people. If the girl was Misa then it'd be understandable. Anyways I really despised the ending and glad the anime wrapped it up better.

So I just watched the partially subbed episode here: www.stormberry.tv (http://www.stormberry.tv) and must say that I liked it and thought that it was pretty sad. I have not read the Manga but I think I will now..(I didn't want to spoil myself a few weeks before the ending).

What happened to Light's swimming lessons?! I'm dissapointed in the ending . . . wanted to see Light getting the sort of death he deserved . . . *evil*
Anyhow, I guess it does end the series better in some ways :/ . . . Light realizing the monster he has become and finding peace. Still prefer the manga ending.
I didn't watch the anime, but if they removed Light begging Ryuk for help then I am all for this ending. I really hated that scene, even though it shows that Light is playing with death when what he fears most is dying.
They removed the worshiping scene? Ah, I guess that provides a little more closure, as if the world is back to normal or something.

It was done well. I like the anime version a lot better than the manga.

MUST. NOT. READ. SPOILERS. XD
Damn torrent is taking forever, and I cant find a direct download anywhere! The one from Deathfan.com is down for some reason. Argh!
EDIT: Just saw it. I got mix feelings about it. Sure I like it. It was much like L's death episode; poetic and graceful. But I soOo wanted to see Light crawl around and beg for his life. I wanted to see the point where he reaches the lowest point possible in anime. I also hate they omitted the last scene which had a much more impact me than this ending did. It showed that Light had indeed become some kind of "god" to many people. And also, that girl at the end was not Misa, it was already stated by the author. I really really wanted to see that scene. But the anime ending was still good, just not what I expected.

The only question, that's bothering me, is why has Misa taken her life. There's no way she could know, what happened to Light that moment, unless someone (Near?) wrote her name in the Death Note. And what did Mikami exactly do? He pulled his finger and died from that?

I do believe he stabbed himself with a pen. Then somehow barrels of blood come gushing out of him.
I also did not read the manga. But thanks to Wiki, I know all of what was changed and added and removed. I think this ending works well. Not as confusing as the mangas final ending. Light goes out more like his old self. Overall, a show that I will hold high up my list of favorites.

Mikami didnt have his pen anymore though, just watch when he got handcuffed, which bothered me. Unless he pulled another one from his jacket or w/e.
Scenes like the Misa one, I believe, are left for people to draw their own conclusions. I think that part with Misa actually happened another day after Light die, imo. Since in the manga, she does kill herself later on, they probably just show that scene and Light's dying scene at the same time to give it a better impact on the viewers. So, Im going with Misa's scene actually happening on another day.
Not as confusing as the mangas final ending.
I dont see how the manga's ending is confusing, it's pretty much straight forward: Ryuk kills Light, Near becomes L, Aizawa becomes chief of Police, Kira becomes a true God. Nothing confusing about that.

They're probably gonna show the last chapter of the manga, or even some stuff from the How to Read Vol 13.

I want to see Light come back as a Death God. If I was in charge of the ending Light would have killed them all in some brilliant way. The real light would have thought about Near getting the real notebook, I guess they had to make him stupid for an episode in order to kill the great Kira.

They didn't make him look stupid. He did everything correct. Mikami was the one who messed up the plan. If you want something done, do it yourself. And the evil will never win in a shounen series, so the ending was expectable.

Misa might not know how Light died, but knowing he's dead is reason enough for her to commit suicide. Her love is of obsessive nature after all.
I prefer the movie ending because I'm one of those annoying L fans who wished Death Note ended in chapter 58.

Second that! With one change being I wish it ended at episode 24. Sorry, I like the anime way more. :D
I really like the anime ending because it shows how Light, after all, is only human and not a god. It was poetic and sad... and it made me kinda cry and kinda depressed. Like, my chest kinda feels uncomfortable. *Sobs*
I hated Light the whole time until the end. The anime ending provided a closure for me.

Same here. I haven't seen the whole anime yet but I have read the manga. If its similar to the manga, then I'm not sure if I will like it so much. I want Kira to beg for his life to an apathetic god. Poetic Justice in the end. A closure that Kira's / Light's actions were wrong.
The Deathnote movies managed to convey the gravity of the situation in a short span of time. Of course, the ending of the 2nd movie, its quite poignant who the Last Name is.

hmm thats true that if they used the manga version ending it would confuse ppl :confused:.. but...
they could make anime into how to read 13 since it explains that misa commits suicide, L's real name is L lawliet, and that girl at the end wasnt misa , it was just a kira worshipper. :D
