Short Synopsis: The final part of Death Note will feature Light vs Near vs Melo. N and M seem to hate each other.
Good: Thankfully, Light isn’t as annoying as I feared.
Bad: N and M, however, are.
Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10
I can understand why people felt that N and M didn’t live up to L. The two of them just aren’t introduced properly. Not only that, but their quirks are even more annoying. N likes to play puzzles with inhumane precision, while M is obsessed with chocolate. What happened to the subtlety in which L added a dozen lumps of sugar in his tea?
Still, I do admit that things will get interesting once Light starts thinking. I really feared that he’d be way too obsessed with creating his perfect world, but somehow, being part of the investigation-team kept his head on earth. Still, I do fear that his cognitive abilities have declining, since he’s had it rather easy for the past three years.
Matsuda also was a surprise, as it seems that he’s turned into a much more important character now. That’s a definite improvement, as this won’t allow him to goof off too much. Misa, however, was horrible. In this episode, her only purpose was fanservice. Light’s father also remained interesting, due to the fact that he now has a more of a leader-like role, now that he doesn’t have to listen to L anymore. It’s also great to see Aizawa back.
Also, one final complaint: why the heck did N and M choose the exact same time to get into action?]]>
Death Note – 27

That bugged me as well, I thought the whole episode in general had too many uncanny coincidences to be believable.
Added to that, I hate Melo. N is a decent successor to L though. And interestingly enough, I’ve made those matchstick towers as well XD I tend to turn anything I can find into a puzzle when I’m bored.
Oops, typo, remove either “episode in general” or “ordeal in general” I was debating which one to type and ended up using both…heh
The only reason I can think of for having M and N introduced at the same time would be to progress the plot quickly as possible. Sure, they could’ve done some sort of flashback later on, but that would disrupt the flow of events.
I haven’t taken the liberty of reading the manga myself, so what I’ve said is purely speculation.
Cough. Cough. NEMO??????????????!! It’s “NEAR” for God’s sake! Ghee!! Now you crack me up. =P
Ack! Seriously!? I’m worse with names than I originally thought. *headdesks*
Fixed now. 😛
Haha, your fast! 😀
