I started this thread in the spoilers section 'cause I think I'll give a pretty spoilerific description for it
.
You know those spread rumours about a 2 hour-long special? Well, this is it.
Practically, it's something like "The best of...". The most important events up until L's death have been merged for this special.
The main idea of it:
In the Shinigami world, there is a new Shinigami, who is interested in Ryuk's adventures in the human world. Since he had nothing interesting to do, Ryuk started telling him about it. After L's death, the last few minutes of the story are at the cemetery, where Light goes mad and starts talking to L's cross (is it just me, or this part wasn't in the anime?
).
In the end, that curious Shinigami was none other than Light.
So, have you guys watched it? Or did you get bored half-way?
I was pretty happy they didn't put in scenes with Near&co. L was much more better than them, imho.
