Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi - Death Note, vol. 11-12 (Eng. trans.)
Wow, I finished!
That was a lot of infodump! In fact, I am certain that vol. 12 was basically just one loooong infodump.
I did like the ending and the resolution; I hadn't quite realized just how much I wanted to see Light's calm shatter and to see him get his come-uppance. That was quite satisfying, particularly when Ryuk turned on him. I also liked that Mello got to play a role in the endgame, and his death has retroactively made me like him better. And the Mello + Near = L equation was nice too.
Other than that, I don't know. I did grow quite fond of Near toward the end, but the series was never one that engaged me emotionally. Also, I kept wanting Misa to not be stupid, and yet... Sigh. At least the announcer woman was better, though of course she dies as well.
Mostly I am left with vast amusement at the lengthy explanations of Light's thoughts, Near's thoughts, Light's thoughts on Near's thoughts, Near's thoughts on Light's thoughts on Near's thoughts, ad nauseum.
Also, I want to see them do the iocaine powder scene from Princess Bride.
