Who did you root for when watching Death Note?

I was rooting for L before Near came into the picture. Afterwards, Light. I think everyone did in the end. I still think that,
<spoiler=When>Both L and Lights father had died he could've gotten away with outright killing the entire AKF, and just hiding on his own.

Light/Kira.
He was in the right.
Though I liked L. Near can burn in Hell. If anyone told me that they were out off by the series because of Near, I wouldn't blame them one bit.
Mello was the shit. I rooted for him to, though not above Light.

I didn't outright root for either character, because if L won, then the series would end, but if Light won, then he'd kill a whole lot of people, which I didn't agree with. I liked watching them both because they're both entertaining with their mind speed chess they seemed to be constantly playing. 
The show ended for me in episode 26 I think. Anything after that was a side story in an alternate universe for me. Also really disliked the movies.
Does no one else think L was a dick? I was really rooting for Yagami Light all the way. There's a doujin floating around the interwebs where...
... he goes to the Shinigami realm and attempts to go after the God (Ryuk calls him the old man) of that world to replace him. That would have been an amazing ending too... but yeah episode 26. Don't go further than that if you're a Light fan, hell, don't go further than that if you're an L fan either.

I rooted for Light up until he
As I empathised with him up until that point I still remained very interested in him although L had definitely started to grow on me.
I think it got to the point where L and Light needed eachother to give validity to eachothers existence so I couldn't really bring myself to root for one or the other. I think I just wanted them to be friends...
starts killing the FBI agents, and particularly Raye Penbar's wife... That was just too cold no matter how you look at it.

Yagami Light / Kira because...
I kinda knew Yagami Light was gonna lose in the end just after the first episode (it felt ominous/ how the hell would you work out an ending where he did win.)So, I rooted for Light/Kira cause I figured, hey, lets see how far this guy can make it.
+1 to almost everyting:English Stew said:
Light = egomaniacal manipulator bastard
L >> Near
Lego = awesome
Although I was deeply upset by the conclusion of the Light v L fight, even at the time I was also thrilled that they had the courage to let such an underhanded villain succeed so fully.
Code Geass has the same theme of superpowered-genius-tries-to-ideallistically-remake-the-world-but-becomes-totally-messed-up, however in CG the superman occasionally does his own dirty work and risks his own skin.OniaPL said:
Surprisingly, though it's a much more kid oriented show it's also much more morally gray.
...not a battle of minds like Death Note though.
It went back and forth between Light and L. Light because he was a very intelligent vigilante, and L because he was a brilliant detective. And those two qualities happen to be my favorite to watch.
