Death Note

[Universe]

It's an excellent series, especially for NT's.
For those of you who haven't heard of this series you must look it up or watch at least the first episode here (deathnote.tv).

Do any of you other INTJ's feel strongly connected with Light?

I'm not as ruthless as he is, maybe not quite as smart either, but we still share the same ideals and if I found a Death Note my actions would be very similar to Light's but I wouldn't hesitate to test the book on a horrible person who I hate with good reason. :evil:

[AgentofGaming]

Do any of you other INTJ's feel strongly connected with Light?

From what I've seen I think most [people here] like L more.

It's quite interesting in fact, I wouldn't mind watching it if it were dubbed. (but not while the school semester is in)

So far I watched up to where that guy pretends to be drunk and fakes his death.

[Haphazard]

I didn't feel strongly connected with Light's motives, mainly because from personal experience systems based on fear with harsh, draconian punishments for transgressions don't work. Just from news reports, that have a tendency to sensationalize anyway, it's difficult to grasp the full extent of the story behind a crime and therefore a person shouldn't be judged on solely what is said about them on the news. On morality I sympathize with L, though for other reasons I still sympathize with Light. Even though he has this power to kill anybody with just a name, he's still the little guy and he still struggles his damndest.

That said, I thought the series declined after the 7th manga volume. Light vs. L was very exciting, but after that volume with the successors it seemed like a lot of the passion that fueled the original feud was gone, and everyone had lost sight of their motives. This may have been the point, but if that was the point I would have rather them made short work of it rather than stretch it through 5 more volumes. Augh.

I see, I have a few things in common with L.

I stay up too late all year, so I usually watch it Saturdays.

I don't see why L was so discusted with Kira's killings after seeing what he was willing to go through to catch Kira. It kind of made me wonder if he hated Kira for being difficult to catch more than for killing "innocent people".

Light also goes through a lot of change in volume 5.

Yes, there's that, but then there's also the rationale that L had to have because so many people were being killed by Kira every day. Throughout the entire story there's the whole rationale that the ends justify the means. If it means a utopia, then so what if a few innocent people are killed along with the criminals? So what if we go against the Geneva Conventions to catch this mass murderer?

The entire story seemed to be less about building a utopia and killing criminals but rather a duel to the death between L and Light. Light soon jumped off the slippery slope by killing people that had blatantly not done anything criminal but could have caught him, and L exhausting the patience and resources of those around him and doing extremely sketchy things to catch Kira. So, a secondary motivation of L would have been that he's frustrated that Kira is so difficult to catch, but wasn't a secondary motivation of Light that he wanted to be God of a new world order?

Both of them are questionable, but that's a part of what makes it so interesting. Aside from these things going on a grand scale, there's also intimacy in the conflict, and that's part of what made the first half of Death Note so great.

[Gabrielle]

I remember trying to kill L before Light while watching EVERY SINGLE DAMN EPISODE. Personally I thought Light was a little slow - I mean, come on, be a little cleverer will ya?

I would also like to have a Death Note. Too bad Ryuk isn't around to give me one.

[DeadSpace]

Identified most with L, Light was quite simply, a user, used Misa, and anyone else he could to achieve his ends. Can't identify with someone like that. or really even cheer for them

Well since Light felt he had to destroy all who stood in his way it to some degree sidetracted him. In the ending though he does mention that since Kira has been around violent criminals had practically died out, but the world still rots.

Perhaps Kira was inspired to become god as well, but I doubt he would ever announce that he was Kira the new god. So, I think that motivation is less personal and intense than L's. But yes these hidden motives did add to the story I suppose.

I really liked episode 25, the one where L died. Not just because he died but because of the over all feel of the episode. Ryuzaki's just so sad and weak, and we learn how he admires but envies Light.

Maybe if we put out fresh juicy apples Ryuk will find us.

The way he used people was what made me feel different from him. He didn't have any feelings of happiness or sadness, except for briefly in the end which is the other thing that separtates us.

[lordrrr]

I totally connected with Light from the beginning, even before I found out I was an INTJ. He really lives the life, strategizing and slowly building a utopia for the greater good.

[Lei Yang]

Damn, now you got me hooked. I really should be doing chemistry, but I'm watching episode 3 now...

[lordrrr]

I love the manga but I havn't watched a single episode of the anime lol.

I'm only up to number 8 on the manga too :/


I need to get crackin'

[Vortex]

Great topic for a great anime \o/

I haven't finished it yet (got to the imprison Light forever part and lost interest, haven't had time to get back into now :\ ), but it was really good. I had a strong love/hate relationship with Light: he was a brilliant thinker and made some excellent "moves". However, his narcissism as Kira and his user personality are a great affront to me.

L on the other hand was never quite as clever as Light IMHO, but had a seriously ridiculous amount of resources to compensate (unrealistically large amount of resources... unrealistic situations bother me..).

Thanks for reminding me to finish this series... But first I've got to finish ergo proxy.

[Universe]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying Death Note.

I just bought the third english DVD today.

[vkut79]

Yeah this is cool! Its great to see an INTJ as a main character. I definitely do see myself being in common with Light in ways.

What episode are you watching? At the beginning, he's very naive, but he learns. He definitely learns...

[vkut79]

I'm at episode 5. He is so cruel and ruthless by then, it seems. He is just trying to get power, not achieve justice.

[Universe]

How much of an INTJ is Light?

moderately Introverted
highly iNtuitive
extremely Thinking
extremely Judging

He has to be fairly image conscious though, so the police don't catch him, and as far as I know that's not usually an "intj" trait.

[vkut79]

How many episodes have you seen?

[Universe]

37, all of them.
and I read the last book so I could know the other ending.

[cielo market]

Hmn... I found I was cheering for both L and Light while watching the show. But I have to admit, I was a bit disheartened that Light ultimately lost in such an embarrassing way.

37, all of them.
and I read the last book so I could know the other ending.

Have you seen the Live Action movies, as well? It was quite different than the original story. If I had to pick, I'd say the manga was the best, followed by the anime, then the movies.

On a side note, I love how nobody's worried about spoilers here *cough*LAWLIET*cough* :cheesy:

[Universe]

The manga had the best storyline, it was the most detailed and it was the original, I love the anime too though since you get voices/music, and well I couldn't sit through the movies, because they're terrible in my opinion.

[paradanmellow]

so who can tell me what personality does L have?

[Universe]

L's definitely an intp.

[paradanmellow]

L's definitely an intp.
yaaaaaay!!!! I knew it! I am such a big fan. sweets too, 40% more efficiency if fetal position, barefoot, analytical, whiteness, high goals, mellowness, obstinate (my E is actually 53%)
guess that's why I was so disappointed when L died, and I refused to watch the end. it dragged in inertia if you ask me. M,N suck. Light went out of control... the story became dull and meaningless without L. it was the personal conflict between L and Light which made the story worth every second of it. they really kept me on the verge lol good job L! ;D

[Lei Yang]

I just thought of something...
If anyone on this board is Light, I am so vulnerable... I am the only one using my real name, AND I posted my pics on the private section part...

[blue tie]

I sympathized with Light. From the very beginning, I was like, wow, here's someone who is clearly gifted, even without the powers of the Death Note... He's talented, articulate... Now he has this supernatural thing thrown at him and all of his morals go out of the window. Rather, conventions go out of the window in favor of his morals. He had a very strong sense of the world, a conviction... An idea that he wanted to follow through with. He wanted to eliminate crime and, later on, sloth. I really liked that angle. Every episode I questioned if I wouldn't have done the same thing if the situation was presented to me.

Although, I'm quite the wuss and definitely not as smooth as Light. And every time Ryuk bit into an apple it made me hungry...

I thought the storyline went downhill after L died, too. I think allowing Light to 'settle' really brought down the energy of the series.

I've heard that some people claim they actually think better in that fetal-y position -- the theory is that it cuts off blood flow from your legs and that blood goes to your brain and upper extremeties... or something. I find that I can't think unless I'm pacing. I've tried a lot of different thinking positions and really the best is pacing, but second best would have to be sitting against the wall with my feet up and my back on the floor.

I remember I had a whole long discussion about this...

Did you commit a crime or do anything bad lately? ;)

L seems to have really bad posture and the way he sits is weird. The oddest I do is sit cross-legged like an elementary student on carpet except on chairs (I have a cold floor).

you're even more vulnerable than before. :wiseguy:

I am NOT going to admit anything more now, or I'll definitely get killed...

Yes, but I already wrote that I'm using my own name in some other post :(
Death note should be part of internet forum education.

[OneBadMother]

I thought Light was awesome, mostly because he was so ingenious. A bastard, to be sure, but very clever. I liked him better than I did L, but I also agree that the series went downhill after L died. Rather, Light went downhill and thus so did the series.

[Universe]

Indeed he got sloppy by the end.
The thing about L that annoyed the hell out of me was that no matter how much evidence there was that Light was NOT Kira he still tried everything he could to prove he was.

[Haphazard]

There's a simple reason for this.

If he decided that Light was not Kira, there'd be no more plot. :p

Intution/Judgement on L's part, Light fit all the criteria, was mostly at all the right places. And had easy access to information. If L had known about the death note in the beginning, he would have had Light. His only missing piece of information at the beginning was how. Later it was misinformation, but Light still fit all parameters. He just needed a few puzzle pieces, very few.
Mello had all the info...he knew

[vkut79]

Are there any other shows that any of you would recommend that also generally appeal to INTJ types?

[Lei Yang]

Texas hold-em tournaments ;)
And the obvious stuff - House, Dexter, Heroes.

[Haphazard]

I went to the bookstore today, and they've just come out with a bunch of Death Note supplemental materials.

Some of it looks useless, but there was a light novel out, and it was hardcover, too. Apparently it was of the case where L and Naomi Misora worked together. I think I might get it sometime... I'd like to see Misora as an active character. She seemed like she had the potential to be badass but then Light had to get to her.

I would have gotten it, but The Sandman got to me first.

[Lagawrd]

Death note is without a doubt very itneresting. I cannot relate to anyone really. The most I can relate with is Light's calm manner and L's introversion. When L died, that was it... I did not like the show much. The show started ot become sort of rushed. Near was too smart... However in the action movie, it is quite different... watch that, it has two parts. Its the same as the series but with a twist.

It is definately my favorite anime and story.

I connected with the whole Psych of the show rather than individuals.

[DeadSpace]

bleh, correction, Near knew...been too long since i watched it.

Are there any other shows that any of you would recommend that also generally appeal to INTJ types?

if referring to animes, monster, ergo proxy, karas <~~kind of an impressionist anime, paranoia agent, even flcl in it's own quirky way i'd consider good intj viewing ;D

of course not :bow:

[Phaedrus]

I was a fan of L much more than Light, but I was also a big fan of N. No one else liked him? He seemed straight-up INTJ, which seems required for catching another INTJ like Light. It was easier for him, and his morals were a bit...looser than L's, but N did what was necessary to get the job done.

Light's just an unrealistic bastard. His megalomania and insanity just got ridiculous...even though Ryuk told him Day 1 that he was going to die someday. That wasn't so well thought-through.

That was absolutely brilliant!

If the deathnote were to drop right infront of me right now, I would most likely come out like Light. Ambition, Honor, Pride, and Power are most of the traits that I hold pivotal in my life. *prays for the deathnote*

(hmm, egotistical? ;) )

[Asylum]

I like Near the most and kind of sympathize with him. I like to think I'm similar to Near, but I also think I'm a bit like Ryuk, so perhaps not. Anyway, I thought most INTJs would relate to L. Light strikes me as a feeling type, maybe? As brilliant as he is, he continues his plan because of his ideals and how he feels about the world and other people. He's pretty melodramatic too...

L an INTP? I guess he is a bit unstructured. Which would make Near more of an INTJ.

I hate the dub btw. I don't think they did a good job on the dub voices. I'm not a fan of Viz at all...

I've been a fan since they started airing the series in Japan. That's when I got "into it". People were subbing it here and putting it on youtube.

I didn't like the BB case novel, couldn't get over the names...
Has anyone read the one-shot that came out?

[Vayate]

Eh, DN was good until the Yotsuba arc, and then it began to fail. If you want good cerebral anime, take a look at Satoshi Kon and Yoshitoshi Abe's resumes (Haibane Renmei, Texhnolyze, Paranoia Agent, Pakrika, Lain, etc).

I would like to see that when you're done. I read an overview-summary of the BB novel and was completely put off by the stupid names. It's also not written by either of the original creators, so I don't consider it canon.

No, there was actually another One-shot released...

Death Note is an intriguing series. I recently "got into it", so to speak, and I'm so glad I didn't miss the boat. Usually, I do.

Hahaha, yea....me too. It takes a LOT to get me to watch a new anime (I've probably turned down about 20), but I saw L and I couldn't resist. But it's so much more than L now, and honestly....I don't know how I ever entertained myself without it. :confused:



I just read The BB Murder Cases and I loved it. It was so twisted (albeit kind of unbelievable) and if I hadn't read the spoilers, I probably would have been surprised by the ending. The names though.... I refuse to believe that anyone in this world of over 6 billion people would have a name like Believe Bridesmaid, Backyard Bottomslash, Blues-harp Babysplit, Quarter Queen, or Blackberry Brown. O_o





Omfg that Spongebob thing was amazing XD

[Danisty]

The entire story seemed to be less about building a utopia and killing criminals but rather a duel to the death between L and Light. Light soon jumped off the slippery slope by killing people that had blatantly not done anything criminal but could have caught him, and L exhausting the patience and resources of those around him and doing extremely sketchy things to catch Kira. So, a secondary motivation of L would have been that he's frustrated that Kira is so difficult to catch, but wasn't a secondary motivation of Light that he wanted to be God of a new world order?Well, L described them both as childish and not liking to lose.

I sympathized with Light. From the very beginning, I was like, wow, here's someone who is clearly gifted, even without the powers of the Death Note... He's talented, articulate... Now he has this supernatural thing thrown at him and all of his morals go out of the window. Rather, conventions go out of the window in favor of his morals.

Although, I'm quite the wuss and definitely not as smooth as Light. And every time Ryuk bit into an apple it made me hungry...I sympathize with Light too. I'm pretty sure if I got a Death Note, I'd probably end up the same way. I can tell you for sure I'd use it at least once. I even know who I'd use it on.

This is going to sound strange, but watching L and Light battle each other is like watching the internal struggle of a Luciferian. In some way, I identified with both of them and thought they were both right.

[Seppuku Savant]

It's an excellent series, especially for NT's.
For those of you who haven't heard of this series you must look it up or watch at least the first episode here (deathnote.tv).

Do any of you other INTJ's feel strongly connected with Light?

I'm not as ruthless as he is, maybe not quite as smart either, but we still share the same ideals and if I found a Death Note my actions would be very similar to Light's but I wouldn't hesitate to test the book on a horrible person who I hate with good reason. :evil:

I actually understand where he's coming from. I don't see what the problem is with getting rid of murderers and child molesters etc. I liked L too, but Light more. I've watched the anime and live action films.

Are there any differences between the manga and the anime?

[Malotis]

I was never much interested in anime untill about a month ago an old friend (who had ironically had bashed anime in the past) of mine suggested death note. I'm willing to give almost anything a try even based on a mere suggestion and needless to say it wasn't long before I became hooked and started watcing 5-10 episodes a day.

My favorite character was L and after he died I only watched a couple more episodes before I lost interest. I also hate the dubbed versions. Nothing is worse than only being able to find dubbed episodes online. But I mean great music, characters, dialogue, story, and adult themes. What more could you ask for?

[Max]

I totally connected with Light from the beginning, even before I found out I was an INTJ. He really lives the life, strategizing and slowly building a utopia for the greater good.

Light? Hmm.... I never felt a connection with Light. I mean, I guess we're somewhat alike...but (ironically enough) I've always felt the biggest connection with Near. I swore to myself that I was going to hate Near and Mello (forever) for replacing L, but Near grew on me like a vine. He was just soooo much like me in his actions and in his ways of thinking; it was impossible to ignore. Aside from that, he's got one of those personalities where you want to figure him out, you want to break through his defenses but he absolutely will not let you. He seems so.... infantile, but at the same time you know he's powerful and twisted. I just wanna....hold him down and make him mine! X ]

Yea, he's so mysterious. I wouldnt mind holding him down and raping his innocence to find out what's really there.


Oh, I'll be back later... =] First post, I'm really not crazy. I swear. ;]

[elsdfr]

I'm a Dreamer and an INTJ, prove me wrong or until I'm undone. Either way I will have still have won.

[Brilliance]

A very good series, there are some questionable things here and there, but it is very entertaining. Light is a love/hate type character, and Death Note is what allowed me to find the personality stuff about a year ago. Although I always saw Light as an ENTJ, I found him similar to me, but at the same time.. I couldn't be bothered getting so close to people and doing a speech and whatnot. He seems to be more of an ENTJ to me.. ENTJ's are quiet despite being extraverted. I have watched the anime and read the manga, I think the manga describes the ending a lot better, but the anime can hook you in the first half of the series.

mmm...I'm almost finishing the anime series, and I already read the manga. The only differences I've seen are non connected to the plot things, for example when L dies and they show him in the rain and then he "massages" light's feet (gosh, I'm so upset about this!!! :furious: I mean, how can they show the great L bowing light?!) grrr...that definitely got me upset. I think L (the manga's L, at least) would never (EVER) bend down to someone, even if this someone beats him.
oh, I'm also upset about the fact Near's wearing jeans in the anime, not his white pants : (

by the way, does anyone know what this is? To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. I found it some days ago and I've tried to tanslate it, but thai languaje is difficult @.@. Anyways, some people think is a fanart, but I think it just looks too perfect to be that!! :stunned:

Near became the most likeable character for me, the moment he was introduced. I love his calm and ordered behaviour, and most importantly, his sense of justice. Exactly that, which Yagami Raito called being "too soft", the aiming for a clean, beautiful victory.

I like the idealistic goals of Light, and I even don't mind his desire for power. But I certainly detest the way he justifies his "protective" killings, the way he starts thinking that justice can be equal to a person, meaning whoever is against him is universally unjust. This is insanity, as Near commented too.

I like the cool detached thinking of L, but he is a little too insensitive. His tactics often have put those who were helping him under great danger or even suffering. He doesn't care, as long as they have agreed by free will to be under his command. His own sense of justice is close to Light's. Eru's willing to use criminal's life as a tool for testing.

Ryuk was a funny person, seemed like a possible nice friend, though unreliable.

I thought the storyline went downhill after L died, too. I think allowing Light to 'settle' really brought down the energy of the series.

I've heard that some people claim they actually think better in that fetal-y position -- the theory is that it cuts off blood flow from your legs and that blood goes to your brain and upper extremeties... or something. I find that I can't think unless I'm pacing. I've tried a lot of different thinking positions and really the best is pacing, but second best would have to be sitting against the wall with my feet up and my back on the floor.

I remember I had a whole long discussion about this...

Sherlock Holmes sits like this in one of his stories.

Sherlock Holmes sits like this in one of his stories.You're right! I knew that was familiar to me for some reason. I love Sherlock Holmes.

Does anybody know what type Mello is? Ah btw, I find him a very cool character even though his slight neuroticism is somewhat disturbing.

Ah yeah, I'm sure any fans of Death note (especially of Yagami Light) will like this AMV (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), it's so well done it's like a trailer for DN or something O_O.

Death Note was really good, actually the best series I have ever seen.

I think I am alot like Light, manipulative, intelligent, orderly, share his morals and I pretty much look like him. (I know I am boasting, do not pick on me).

Series went downhill after Light vs L, but it was still good. Light was eventually driven insane by the notebook and he failed to see Nears plan.
Light for the win!

Ok, I don't look like Yagami Raito at all.

Death note is top 4. DN, Elfen Lied, Bersek and Claymore
