Man.... she was Sooooo close.....

If I was her though, I wouldn't have given out my real name to anyone, not even someone claiming to be L. If you think about it, L probably wouldn't have asked for a real name for information like that :lol:

but man, I felt so sorry for her when she handed him her licsense
Funny how This must be the first anime I can remember watching where I was more rooting for the enemy of the main character than the main character :lol:

that's the thing really. i was around on a death note forum as the manga was being released, and there basically resulted in two factions who supported either L or Light, as well as people who liked/disliked:
manga character name spoiler wrote:Near, Mello, Takada, Misa and Mikami.
that's what i love about the series; the way the characters are portrayed there's no solid side you can support or like, everybody thinks differently and each character's spin on justice is different.

Personally I was disappointed that her story arc was terminated so quickly. It kept Kira on his toes for a mere few minutes and I think having him slip from his usual cool as ice facade would have been an interesting turn of events, something for him to panic over and lessen the feeling I get from this show that many of the things are ending up too conveniently into place.

Don't get me wrong, I like the show and how clever it is, and I know someone's eventually going to make a mistake but it doesn't mean everything has to be a perfect fit all the way through.

you should see how WB handled the Death Note movie and Naomi, so different... damn the Death Note movie added so much content and filled in plot holes in the anime, well not really plot holes, more like things hinted or only briefly mentioned.

was her story arc longer in the manga, or was this a faithful depiction to the manga?

Hahaha, episode 8 proves you can be incredibly over dramatic while eating potato chips! :lol:

Nonetheless Light got himself one heck of a predicament when he discovered that...
...surveillance cameras and bugs were installed in the entire house.
