I can't remember huge amounts of how Light out maneuvers L but I remember being dissatisfied. Lights plan to forget things etc. is great but considering he had all the knowledge of Death Notes he just had such an advantage. When I was a teen I thought that way too and now right from the start it's obviously he's a ruthless poo poo immediately. In the episode I just watched L says Kira has a child's understanding of morality and it nailed exactly how I'm feeling.

I'm home from work so I'm going to respond to this with a few more expanded thoughts

When I was younger I think I had the default assumption that he was the hero because he was the main character and he slowly became more and more twisted whereas now it's super clear he is a psychopath from the start. He kills people hunting him immediately without hesitation. It struck me as I was walking home that Roy Penber the FBI agent is the most screwed person. Light makes him kill his colleagues by writing in the Death Note but he doesn't know he killed them so that's not the problem. Ryuk tells us using a Death Note means you can neither go to heaven or hell so Penber's soul is screwed over simply because he hunted Kira. The writing feels very clever however I am watching it multiple episodes at a time and i am very dumb so maybe it's just good at seeming smart. However it feels like the deductions make sense as well as how Light experiments with the rules and how he applies them in interesting ways. Considering I know what's happening later there are things that seem like Light really benefits from providence e.g. Misa when L is clearly better

misa isn't beneficial for light, shes introduced to specifically handicap light and throw a wrench into his plans because otherwise he would have too much of an advantage over L. she gets herself caught through her own incompetence and he has to bail her out without killing her because of her shinigami. i dont think she herself actually manages to help light a single time in the entire show.

Don't know if anyone could help me find a music video, I forget the name of the song and artist but it's a Japanese song with rapping and the video is drawn in a crude style ( think ONE) and there's this guy who goes super saiyan and goes clubbing and has a night on the town basically.
