Am I the only person that thought Death Note was (for the most part) actually incredibly childish and shit. After about episode 12 it became completely standard shonen bollocks, sure it might have looked all cool and gothic but for the last twenty episodes there really wasn't much difference between it and something like Naruto.

Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's completely different to Monster. Which despite getting a bit silly before the end never descended into the sort of nonsense Death Note did.
