I actually prefer Light's death scene in the anime, rather than the Manga.
His death scene in the Anime actually made me feel a bit sorry for him. If the Death note never fell into his hands, he could have had a happier life. He could have gone without deceiving his Dad, he could have become friends with L, He might have even legitimately become the greatest detective ever. Seeing 17 year old Light walk right past 21 year old Light genuinely hurts, because it reminds you of what could have been.
Plus, Matsuda going Rage mode is so much more satisfying in animation than it is in Manga form. The Voice acting really does it for me, as this is one of the best English Dubs I've ever heard. It's still the best moment in Death Note.
A Reminder: You aren't going to get this in Netflix's live action adaptation, because the Task Force doesn't exist in that movie. And yes, they are making another one. They confirmed it. And even if they hastily wrote someone in to shoot the crap out of Not-Light Turner, It wouldn't be satisfying, because part of the charm of this scene is the underdog rising up and taking matters into his own hands.
