itt we're captain obvious
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.
LOL!!! you know what that was the funniest damn post ever!!!!!!!! lmfao
Oh my god, "american otaku" does not think highly of my posts! american otaku, I think you're really cool. I want to be friends. Would it help if I apologized?
i wanna be yo friend dude... I see you posting everywhere all the time.
I like to incite sometimes, just as I see you do ;)

How do you see me posting everywhere all the time if I post anonymously?
watch GTO THE BEST ANIME .... 4 me atlest
BECAUSE I HAVE SUPER POWERS
>>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
Erm, he said without magic...
>>12 lol shh [spoiler]anime has everything that he hates[spoiler]
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.

>Evangelion, Gundam, Haibane Renmei
>You just lost the game.
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.
personally I don't see the appeal in death note. I know exactly where the story was heading by the 1st volume, not awful but not my cup of tea. Probably the fact that my sister in law is a weeabo DN fangirl just puts me off it completely.

grave of fireflies....oh wait it does have teenagers
>anime that doesn't involve giant robots, teenagers, schoolgirls, dumbass "romance", sports, tentacle monsters, demons, shinigamis, magic, etc.
That's everything, just so you know.

Perfect Blue or Jin-Roh or Night on the Galactic Railroad or Angel's Egg
Light dies in the end anyway. Just goes to show that evil will never triumph.

Hataraki Man? Lupin III? Studio 4C stuff?
I read death note before it was widely popular, and i enjoyed it. I, personally, had never really seen anything like it before, and plus i'm a fan of the artist. Well I enjoyed it at least until Mello and Near came in, after that it sucked donkey balls. I've never seen such a terrible ending.
it makes fags feel like they're smart and girls jack off to thinking about L sucking Light's cock. the manga is a little better. yeah, best thing about the series is L.
But the manga totally doesn't have the hilariously homoerotic bits in episode 25! It's clearly inferior!
>anime that doesn't involve giant robots, teenagers, schoolgirls, dumbass "romance", sports, tentacle monsters, demons, shinigamis, magic, etc.
Rescue Wings, Bartender, Hataraki Man, Monster, NHK, Genshiken, You're Under Arrest, Ebichu, Tetsuko no Tabi, Black Lagoon.
Oh, and Area 88.
>>29
Sasahara's sister is a schoolgirl, so that removes Genshiken from the list.
>>29
NHK fails it because Misaki (who I consider to be the second main character) is a teenager. :-)
Light doesn't wave the pen around in the manga. Or at least I dun think he does....
I need ta read Volume 1 again for some hot Ryuuk-apple-eating ackshin....LOLz.
Already seen NHK and Genshiken, like them both.
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, teenage girl. Hate Death Note! I managed to read the first five books back in my weeaboo days, and I don't know how I managed to get that far.
People only like Death Note because L looks emo.
There is no Death Note manga.
