>IT'S BAD BECAUSE REDDIT

Death Note is older than Reddit, dumbshit. You're another shitty Anon who uses Reddit as a scapegoat for your inability to form a proper argument. L dies, and he ends up being replaced. If you've read the manga, which I know you haven't, then you'd know that Light was completely humiliated in the end. He went out like a bitch and was begging Ryuk to save him. If you aren't an anime watcher and read the chapter's after Light's death, then you'd know that crime rates begin to go back to normal. Also, there's no afterlife in Death Note, so Light and L stop existing after death. This is worse in Light's case as he's literally dead and forgotten. Light's 100 chapter journey has been for nothing. And the only other people to inherit the Death Note will be dumbass weaklings like C-Kira or crazy cultists. At least L has Near as his successor.

No, he was always a dipshit for not recognizing his method was flawed from the get go because he still relied on police arrests and charges to determine who to kill, which is a flawed system. Therefore his plan was always bound to kill countless innocent lives or people who did not deserve it, like people who go to prison for dumb crimes like not paying fines and shit like that.

http://comipress.com/article/2007/01/08/1287.html

One of the comments in that article
>"Before Tsugumi created the series, Death Note, the artist created a one-shot of Death Note. In the Death Note, we discover that similar activities that was happening to elementary school kids happened to an office building in 1973. Tsugumi actually outlines the events that happened in the other one-shot by Shigeru Mizuki, though does not do the same in the actual series. Therefore, Tsugumi was in full knowledge of the one-shot when creating Death Note."

There's no way he couldn't have known considering how famous Mizuki is in Japan

It is pretentious though. A lot of stuff there is just padding and literal 2deep4u bait. It's annoying as all hell to binge watch it because it is constantly wasting your time with overlong shots and totally pointless story threads that ultimately go nowhere.

I can almost see the hack director masturbating through the frame. It's just a bunch of nonsense bundled together around a lackluster main story that's a lot less interesting or thought provoking as it thinks it is. The show doesn't exist for you, it exists for itself and you are just along for the ride.

At least Naruto had a clear story. A stupid story, but clear and to the point.

You may disagree with the point, but it is there.

Not that anon but they missed the point. Naruto isn't bad because it's pretentious. It's bad because it's non-stop generic shounen tropes with endless filler and an overall story that grinds to a halt. A better example of pretentious is Psycho Pass: tries to present interesting scenarios that analyse the concept of ethics in semi-automated policing systems but ultimately comes up with unrealistic garbage which relies on the author's inability to construct his story's setting instead.

Needlessly? Not at all! The symbolism HAD to be abstract, because the central theme of the story is the analysis of a thing that was (and still is) unknown. It's about the internet - and was made in 1998.

I didn't miss the point. I was just pointing out the anon's misuse of the word "pretentious" not explaining why Naruto was bad. And yes, psycho-pass is a better example of pretentious.

So you failed to solve the mystery. That doesn't make it bad. That means you're thick.

It means it overstayed its' welcome. It didn't have enough content to fill up 12 episodes.

No. GitS explores existencialism. Lain just meanders and wallows on "cool visuals". I will admit the visuals are interesting and unique, but the show really feels like experimental stuff, just a collection of cool visuals with a vague story thread uniting them. What frustrates me so much is that everything that happens is so fucking basic and simple but they choose to present it in the most obnoxious, self important, artsy-fartsy way.

>The argument was about pretentiousness.
An I think Lain is pretentious.

>>144535390
It did though. You knew what was happening at any given point, and it explained itself even to a fault. Not saying what happened wasn't incredibly stupid, but it was clear.

Then please, do explain to me the deep messages contained within the great masterpiece that is Lain.

I'm strapping in for this one.>>144535467

That's just a cop out for the creators not being talented enough to convey their ideas or they that they had no ideas in the first place.

Ultimately, when your anime is boring and repetitive and frustrating to watch, you failed. Plain and simple.

I got what you meant a second too late. See >>144535429

I think that's a really fair criticism of the show to be honest.

>Lain just meanders and wallows on "cool visuals".
Lain's biggest strength is its message. The visuals are just there to hold your interest for long enough to start to piece the puzzle together.
>I will admit the visuals are interesting and unique, but the show really feels like experimental stuff, just a collection of cool visuals with a vague story thread uniting them.
Sounds like you didn't 'pick up enough pieces' to be confident that there was something lurking in Lain's depths.
>What frustrates me so much is that everything that happens is so fucking basic and simple but they choose to present it in the most obnoxious, self important, artsy-fartsy way.
The presumption is that what happened was basic and simple, but Lain's story is a journey towards consciousness presented with nods to both eastern (collectivist) and western (individualist) philosophies, a story of the birth of the internet, and an interpretation of the apocalypse. It is all of those things simultaneously and more. That's why it's so revered: it has so much more going on than is first apparent, and the more you research and think about it, the more obvious that true depth becomes.
>An I think Lain is pretentious.
Being pretentious is hiding beneath an affectation of greater intelligence or importance. Lain isn't pretentious because it has the level of intellectually stimulating and scarily relevant content to back up its self-important appearance. The fact that it predicted so many aspects of the future of the internet so well really attests to that.

>>144535682
I think you're focusing on the visuals and claiming the show to be pretentious when to identify a pretentious show you have to look at the content- the substance of the show.

What happens is basic as a story of a plot but you have to understand that the elements of the story symbolize and reflect the themes of the show. The visuals are deliberate.

You can't claim things about being basic and simple when the show isn't basic and simple. One aspect is basic and simple. But this aspect isn't the whole show.

>>144535824
>they had no ideas in the first place
That is so unbelievably wrong though. The creators focused on Descarte's duality, the importance of memory (referencing Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time), and how the information age or the internet (or the wired as it is called in the series) has a much larger impact to society than originally thought. The symbolism and the visuals were deliberate to express an interesting perspective. The fact that it is relevant (in its themes about the internet) is a testament to that.

And how the fuck is the anime repetitive? Literally nothing repetitive happens.

>Wasn't the vague implication that Light ended up as the new shinigami?
For it was the scene where Ryuk said something along the lines that Light "would make a good shinigami"
It just felt like that bit was important. Maybe the shinigami king can make humans shinigamis when they die if he wants to, at least that doesn't sound too absurd.

Consciousness is an emergent property of electrical networks. The internet is an electrical network. What does that suggest? What would it look like if we anthropomorphised that consciousness over the course of its development?

>That's just a cop out for the creators not being talented enough to convey their ideas or they that they had no ideas in the first place.
They conveyed their ideas to me. I understand them. They're very talented. You're the equivalent of someone who's salty about a comedian because they said something which made a bunch of people laugh that you didn't understand. Heard of 'sour grapes' before?
>Ultimately, when your anime is boring and repetitive and frustrating to watch, you failed. Plain and simple.
Ultimately, when you confuse your own limited understanding for an objective consensus, you'll fail at communicating your opinions in a reasonable manner.

Also it's hilarious that you described it as 'repetitive'. It uses anachronism as a storytelling device, so obviously it is.

Oh, and for that matter, you can't complain that something's boring and then also claim that it went by too quickly for you to understand: you have to pick one or the other.

Anon, I think Kira represents /a/ (if he has to represent a website which is a ludicrous idea on its own right) very well. After all, Kira has over simplified, immature and baseless philosophies about morality and crime and doesn't know what he's talking about. /a/ has threads about hating anime they know nothing about and /a/nons make poorly thought out arguments that are reductive and over simplified.
It's the same thing.

I would love it if how Light the Gary Stu won everytime isn't that poorly written.
Think about it, when was the last time L actually posed a threat against Light?

>>144536437
Oh I don't know maybe when he found where Kira was located, that he was a high school student, found Kira's identity, had successors in case he died, found out about the death notes forcing Light to use amnesia hacks, found out about shinigami.

You know, how he was actually winning for most of the series.

He would have won too if it weren't for Rem's convenient love for Misa.
