I always hear people talk about how great Death Note is so I tried watching it a few years ago and it just made me very uncomfortable the whole time. The show made sure to point out how great things are goin in the world when ever it could, like one point after the time skip it said that wars have stopped(???). At no point did it ever try making a point about how there could be a flaw in the justice system where someone innocent could be in jail and thus a casualty of the MC. Every non “criminal” he kills is someone who could potentially put a stop to his actions and thus comes off as as antagonists that the viewer Shouldn’t feel bad about dying. The whole thing feels like the author thinks that Light is actually a good guy.

    Deff not gonna put FBI agent in the innocent bystander catagory.

    The only one I'd be willing to put down as innocent is the agents gf. I'll call trolly problem on this one. He saves enough lives to justify dropping the ball here. It was however still dropping thr ball.

    The shows has Kira's plan work. Maybe in real life it wouldn't. However thetext of thr work has those cops seeing thr world become a better place, identify its cause and then try to undo it. Nah, they get the note as well.
