Death Note is shit (89)

1 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-04-12 03:59 ID:KDYqwa1t

I don't want to start any flamewars or whatever, since I don't care that much, but what the fuck is all this hype about Death Note? A few things to note:
o I've only read a chapter or two of the manga
o I've only seen the first episode
It was so repugnant that I couldn't bother to sit through a second one. Some cliche, dumbass main character that there's no way in hell I could ever give a shit about, some random shinigami (a shinigami? In an anime? That's not cliche at all!) who is also a dumbass. And likes apples. Ha ha ha that's so crazy and random! A shinigami eating apples! Ha ha ha! Wait, no, I forgot for a second that I'm not a fourteen year old girl.
And the crux of it all: the fucking scene where he's writing in the Death Note. Dramatic music playing. It's all dark, except for the curiously-bright lamp. OH HOLY SHIT HE'S WRITING NAMES! OH HOLY SHIT RANDOM PEOPLE ARE DYING! All the while he's sitting in his fucking room, by himself, waving the pen around in the air dramatically after he writes names. What the fuck?

The only reason I watched Death Note in the first place was because L is the only male anime character over the age of ~14 that makes me want to start masturbating. And he doesn't even show up until later on.

Does this show get better? Is it all ridiculous bullshit, or just the first episode? Why does everyone like it so much? Can someone post some L hentai? And, finally, can someone recommend me some anime that doesn't involve giant robots, teenagers, schoolgirls, dumbass "romance", sports, tentacle monsters, demons, shinigamis, magic, etc.? Something that somehow manages to avoid the bullshit cliches that make most anime unwatchable. (That's not to say there aren't some good animes that make use of those cliches. I like Evangelion and Gundam.) Only thing I've ever seen that hasn't involved any of that is Haibane Renmei, and it was only thirteen episodes.

it's superior by shounen standards, but shounen is the ass end of anime

I know I'm not putting forward a particularly original opinion or saying anything all that new, but Death Note's so popular it confuses me. Since there seems to be a Death Note following on 4-ch I figured I'd at least try to get someone to enlighten me about what all the fuss is.

And magical girl is the ass end of anime. Shounen is just close.

Death Note had my attention for about 4 episodes and then I kinda stopped watching but yeah...Darker than Black seems pretty good.

>>1 death note is good because of the investigations of the criminal, and that its not that easy to get away with murder

>that doesn't involve giant robots, teenagers, schoolgirls, dumbass "romance", sports, tentacle monsters, demons, shinigamis, magic, etc.?

mm that's kinda hard you eliminate at least 90% of anime, i recommend Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai
>>2 true, best shounen anime
>>3 sorry but Mahou Shoujo>>>>>> Shounen (you at least get to fap with Magical girls)
>>9 it's a good anime, but i didn't like it, i personally found the teacher disgusting, lame and stupid, and there were some holes in the anime ie, one episode the the intelligent girl hates onizuka, onizuka convinces her, and the other instead of following or at least saying what happened after, starts another shit, and there isn't a major character delevopment (only the schoolkids becoming friends of onizuka)... but well that's my opinion, it's a fairly good anime, and i think everyone should watch it

Nice try, troll.

Although I love Death Note because it almost seinen-like; it's very different from the other Jump series. In fact Jump's motto is "friendship, victory, and courage." Death Note doesn't really fit the motto, especially the friendship part. lol

Moe anime is the ass end of anime. EX: Lucky Star, Hidamari Sketch, Maburaho, etc,.

Troll, a good anime is Monster. In fact, I don't really think anime will have a lot of what you want; try manga. Good manga: Homunculus, Monster, Sanctuary, basically anything by Iou Kuroda. Basically "Seinen" stuff.

Hidamari Sketch is underrated.

I agree, Death Note (manga ver) is a little over-hyped, but honestly, if you have the patience to sit through Light's mind wandering here and there, then it turns out to be an interesting series (I like it, though it tends to give me a headache sometimes).

I can't offer my opinion on the anime though (haven't seen it yet), but it seems like Light "talking" to himself would get old after an episode or two.
