Story wise, it was kinda okay, but we still got some insight into the OP characters. I love how Near takes pride in L and Kira, and chooses not to give a fuck about this cheap Kira.
I still find the new purpose of the Death Note interesting, though. Taking someone’s life to put an end to their suffering is quite poetic, especially when you compare it to the original purpose of using it.
I also love how apples have become a form of currency in the Shinigami world.
As iconic as Death Note is, I’m kinda surprised they didn’t try to squeeze every fucking cent out of the franchise just to please the fans. But I guess that’s what makes it great, anyway.
