Welp! Finished Death Note and yeah that ending sucked. I'd still say that I liked the anime overall, despite the back half being kinda crap, it still had some good things in it. Now I need to find something else to watch.

They also didn't even bother giving the show its One Year Later epilogue chapter.

TBH, from what I've seen about The manga, I don't think it would really have changed my opinion too much. I mean it would have been better, sure, but the manga ending was honestly worse as far as I'm concerned.
