The anime ending put focus on Light's character in a different way; it's played more tragically, showing Light stumble past himself prior to finding the Death Note. It emphasizes Light's former innocence, and what Light could have been if he didn't have the notebook. For many viewers it was actually pretty sad. I was touched by it, but it lacked the shocking imagery of the manga, as well as the utter panic in Light as he watches his name be written; I found that to be extremely moving.
