I finished watching Death Note [for the 3rd time] with my boyfriend, and we both realized that we liked some of the more 'disliked' characters. So, I figured I'd make a thread to talk about everyone's favorite characters, and throw up a poll to go with it.

Pick whoever you guys like, I made it multiple.

My favorite, favorite characters were Matsuda, Mikami, and Near.

I loved Matsuda because he was the happy-go-lucky, clueless guy who in the end...ended up doing more damage to the villain, than anyone else.

I loved Mikami because of how loyal and righteous he was...yet how fragile his sanity was, as well. I just thought he was an interesting character, and almost all of his scenes are great.

I liked Near, because unlike L, he got the job done. L's mistake was getting close to Light, yet Near was smart [and lucky] enough to keep a hands off approach to Light, which enabled him to win in the end. I did think his way of catching Light was a bit of a cop-out, but I just liked his character more. L was too smart, to the point of rethinking all of his thoughts. Near made conclusions, and ran with them, without rethinking it. And, he happened to right on it. Plus...watching him play with toys was oddly cute.

My favorite, favorites were Mello, Ryuk, and Light's dad.

Light wasnt so bad until he got cocky. And L was such a loser. He had no reason for his conclusions, and used impossible tests that when thwarted managed to still keep his attention irrationally.

L had aspergers? aside from the fact that I dont think its real... L was fairly outgoing and didnt seem at all awkward in social settings. Intelligent? Yes. In no small part thanks to Watari.

Mello is probably my favorite character overall. I just liked his over all attitude and I think he was a nice contrast to L.

I also like L and Light about the same. Though I wouldn't like Light in real life, I could appreciate how he went from a character that had misplaced good intentions to down right psychotic. And when he lost his memory of the Death Note he was a pretty sweet person.

And L, I just like L for his originality. He's quirky and he's smart. And you wouldn't expect a character like him to play the role that he did.

I like the contrast between L and Light. You would expect Light to be the good guy and L to be the villain based on appearences. But of course, the characters are the exact opposite of that in the story.

And I like Light's dad. I liked his overall attitude through out the story.



Some one with aspergers doesn't necessarily have to be with drawn from everyone else. They just have to behave in a socially unaccepted way with out realizing it. I know a kid a my school who has aspergers and is very sexually expressive. He had a restraining order out against him for asking the lady at the book store if he could tie her up.
