Death Note

[Kraco]

Dunno about that. I think it's getting evident this is a personal Light vs L fight now. The task force is clearly incompentent, so they will be of little use other than doing specific tasks for L, so I'd be surprised if that guy paid any attention whatsoever to his surroundings, because he wasn't told to. After all, they had even no system to carefully monitor and question every person that might reveal something, as was made evident by how the former-FBI agent was turned away empty handed with not much inquiries.

And the agent, in the end, just wanted to join her dead fiancee, and thus let Light talk her to surrender. I certainly had higher hopes of her. But on the other hand, it's just ep 7/36 (or something), so maybe it's far too early to build too much pressure on Light. He's still having it easy. Even if this should have taught him he needs to be even more careful. Unless this just gives him more self-confidence.

L is slowly becoming what he dispises, a criminal.

I guess you meant Light... And Light was a criminal right after he killed the first victim. And he's even been a mass murderer already for a good while. The next step would be a genocide, a crime against humanity, but I doubt we will get to see that... After all, he has no reason for that, although I think he would already be perfectly capable of anything.

Doubt because of the length of the anime is an illegal argument :P

Im just saying, L will know, which means the police will have to come across it in the end, which means they *might* remember that. ( or rather that one guy )

[masamuneehs]

yeah i got really pissed off when i saw this part. I really liked her character and wanted her to be around for longer. Having a rogue investigator trying to track down Kira, separate from L and his crew, would have been an awesome sideplot.

and as she's gone there's nobody with any clue that Kira can kill people with more than heart attacks...

then again, she really made Light sweat quite a bit. This is his second "sloppy" kill after the Lind L Taylor thing. He had to rush to do it, and this was covering the fallout from the FBI thing. Like someone else noticed, there are cracks in this one for the investigation team to pry.

Oh, and I'm really liking how they put in different rules from the Death Note in different segues (sp?) between the midway point of episodes.

Well he pretty much made sure that her body wouldn't be found after she commited suicide, and it was linked with Ray's death.

So no normal person(maybe even L) would be able to make the connection so fast b/c you would need the events and facts that are only knowlegable to Ray, Naomi and Light(and we all know he isn't telling anyone).

[Kraco]

Well, let's hope L will shape up at some point. So far his tricks haven't been quite as impressive as Light's, especially after the initial one that located Light in Japan. I mean, it even looks like he hasn't checked the police computer system logs to try to track down who has been using the access to the task force files, and then tried to evaluate if all those events of accessing were legitimate. Killing the former FBI agent pissed me off, and so I'm expecting L to do, for a change, something else than just drink coffee.

[Psyke]

There's no point in checking the system logs because he already knew that Kira is connected to some one in the task force or in the police force, and that he's just using his account to access the information. That's why he's taking so many precautions against them. And I'm sure L's going to pull of something soon.

Ever tried telling anyone "go kill yourself someplace where noone would find you. I wouldnt even know a place where they wouldnt find me anywhere near my Province :> Maybe with a lot of concrete attached to my feet on the bottom of the North Sea :P

But couldnt L check the times when someone was logging onto the police´s server, and compare it with the times, the 6 police-men havent been logged in actually?

@episode 7:

Amazing, simply amazing. The whole episode is actually walking to one side and walking back a little...but all the tension, the psychological mind games, it´s awsome.
And im glad, seh died. It would have been totally typical, if that character would have lived on. And i hated her, i cant stand it when a great "villain" like Light loses to a angry woman >_<
Thats also a point, why i love Death Note: It´s unpredictable.

Well another possible reason might be that Light has already covered up his tracks and deleted all system logs, being the meticulous type of person that he is.

[Kraco]

I doubt he has that kind of access level. His father was no system administrator, just some police boss (which is essentially why he could use his father's access; if the access level had been high, I doubt Light would have ever learned the password). So, with a series with so much attention to minute details, there's a hollow sound there until it's explained somehow. Well, it's not like I really considered that any huge mistake by the script writers. It's awfully hard to write a story with truly all details right in place. That hardly happens even in the real life...

[Mae]

This was what in the manga finally turned me against Light. He usually kills his victims from a distance and is pretty cold about it (just killing as a means to and end, trying to create better world). Even the Penbar killing was pretty cold.

But in this case he panics a bit and is just vicious. No empathy for the girl at all. I thought he'd be like, "It's too bad I have to kill her, she'd be a good agent" or something, but instead he almost seems to enjoy himself, selfish prick. He did NOT need to tell her he was Kira, but he HAS to rub in his victory, let the other person know he's won. Probably this will lead to his downfall.

[Knives122]

Well he didn't really have a choice with Naomi like he did with Ray. She was going back to the department and that cop was too. She would've given the police what she knew and Light's plan would've gone up in smoke.

But I somewhat agree with the "didn't need to rub it in that he won". He did the same thing with Ray right before he died. I guess that's just his way of given them the satisfaction of knowing who it is before they die.

[Board of Command]

I thought it was rather foolish of him to reveal that he's Kira. Naomi was clever enough to give a fake name the first time, and despite how she acted after being invited to the task force, she could have given another fake ID the second time as a trick. Hell, for all we know she might not even have a real name because she could have been one of those ghost agents in the world.

Ep. 7 - whew, man. What an episode. Even though I have read the manga and knew what was happening, I was still blown away by the scene. I was rooting for Light the whole time, though it was enjoyable to see him start to squirm a bit, because it gives him a weak side too.I started to laugh a little (God that sounds horrible), especially when Light starts to really hook in that girl. The "I am Kira" sequence, imo, was very well executed. A great Ep. overall, I cannot wait for the next!

[darkshadow]

i dispise light..... that bastard, i hope L kills him... breaking his neck or something. :P

i'll admit i "mwhaha'd" at that part as well. Light really is a bastard, and I want him to lose. But I want him to go down to L, not this chick. I may not like Light, but the villain fan in me couldn't helped but cheer for her to lose.

[Aeon]

YaY finally got around to watching ep7 and can't believe she's dead already. I was really liking her character's look and personality. Light talking to himself throughout the ep had me on edge while he was trying his hardest to figure out a way to get her name. Also is the girl in the opening running to Light at the end of it his sister?

[Yukimura]

Another cool ep, getting Ryuk to help him was pretty slick and also his room entry alarm system shows just how obsessive Light is . I wonder if L will suspect anything more or if he'll be satisfied. I didn't get the feeling that he was assuming that Light was Kira and looking for evidence, which I think he should have done for all of the people if he wanted to be 100% thorough.

[High Wind]

Death Note, I can always count on it to bring me interesting episodes.

I lol'd at the fact that the Kira Investigation team was having ice cream while on the case. Seems to kind of offset the gravity of their work. I also thought it was amusing that apples are a Death God's vice. The idea of an entity with control over death going into withdrawal because of a lack of a fruit tickles me.

Man, this episode was great in illustrating Light's cunning. Scheduling deaths in advance as to not invite suspicion? A piece of paper to draw attention away from the actual booby trapped parts of the door? Using apples to trick the "neutral" shinigami into helping him? The whole potato chip, Mini LCD TV scheme? Never in a million years would I have thought of any of those. Man I love Death note.
