Re: Yes, I can agree that there's something debateable about the nature of his evil.

But me, I realised he was completely evil from the setup in episode one. In fact, I was so disgusted that the authours expected us to follow around this evil bastard and treat him as though his actions were justifiable that I dropped the series there until my friend told me that Light was indeed intended to be evil by the authour.
I'd seen one episode a little under halfway through as an intro from a friend so when I went back to watch it from Ep 1 I knew he was the villain, I had expected the move to the darkside to take a little longer than one episode though, cackling about godhood before the the episode finishes is not so much a gradual descent to darkness as a bullet train. But he was, in some ways, a sympathetic character occasionally, but its really about the complex scheming, I do tend to root for the 'bad guy' a lot though. But choice of medium matters, I watched the english dubbed cartoon, for instance, like Revenge of the Sith, the movie sucked but I loved it because I was in the field when it came out and read the book, which gives Vader a very logical and sympathetic path to evil as opposed to the movie, which when I saw it was brutally painful. Pages of rational dialog disappear into what amounts to "I'm evil, join me!" "No, you're evil!" "Yes, evil, MWAHAHAHA, join me!" "So be it, master" "Go kill children now!"
As far as tragic villain/well intentioned genocidal maniac goes, I prefer Lelouch from Code Geass.
Yeah, that's on my list to do as another recommended series to my tastes
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
