I just hate it because I didn't like L's replacements.
I hated the shit out of Near.

Mikami was the best part of the last part of the series...DELEEEEEEETE!!!!!!

1st half - masterpiece
2nd half - above average shit

Probably because every individual has different opinions.

>>146299528
As soon as the "I'll take A CHIP and EAT IT" scene came I just couldn't take it seriously anymore, was fun and enjoyable but it's still a ways from perfect.

the fuck kinda logic is that OP?

>>146299528
TTGL is literally the best anime, what's your point?

>>146299528
Are you retarded? You just proved your own first statement wrong.

The second half wasn't really that good, and even before L lost it was still kind of losing steam for me. I wasn't a fan of that arc where light and Misa gave up their memories. I would have prefered if we didn't know who Kira was. Maybe have separate arcs with different kiras after the previous one had been caught, all of them use the death note in different ways. I mean I get the point was to have a villain protagonist but if they wanted to keep Light as the protag of the whole thing, then I feel that death note should have been a much shorter story than it was.

>>146299528
Maybe it's because /a/ DOESN'T pretend to hate this because it's popular, and liking those popular shows you mentioned is proof of that.
But /a/ doesn't even like half those shows so I guess you're retarded.

Did anyone watch the TV drama? I thought it was alright, could have used some more episodes to flesh things out but the ending was pretty good at least.

>>146299528
It was great. And then L died and it all went to shit

Its old so people reflect on it a lot, and might like shows with more interesting characters.
There are all the memes associated with Death Note.
I still think it's pretty good, but I was on the hivemind of hating it for a while. I'll probably rewatch it sometime for jp practice, or read the manga since I watched the anime.

Yeah. A show that is unable to properly end in 52 episodes + one movie isn't worth watching.

Your loss, dude.

>>146301876
JoJo has already ended 7 times.

I thought it should have ended with Misa betraying Light out of jealousy for his new girlfriend.

i'm quoting you. these are direct quotes from you

>>146301876
1999 is 52 while 2011 148, has a good ending to it.
1999 did follow the manga more closely and added some stuff to it but nothing major. Both are amazing but i'm pretty biased because i'm following HxH for years and will follow for years to come.

Because after L's death, it just becomes borderline filler with ANOTHER guy cat and mousing Light. The movies had the right idea; have Light get caught at the height of his affiliation with L.

As for why people "jerk off" Code Geass, it's because Lelouch is everything Light was, but better executed. He uses vile means to achieve his goals, and accepts the consequences instead of just going "lol nope, I'll totally be seen as God for this!"

>>146299528
Death Note is probably more highly regarded on /a/ than pretty much every show you listed besides Code Geass and Berserk, and Geass is debatable. What hate it receives is due to the shitty fanbase. You'd know this if you had actually been in a discussion thread about it before, but you're clearly new, so fuck off or lurk more.

/a/ doesn't really hate Death Note, not more than any other anime at least

>>146299528

No we don't. That's /v/. We only jerk off anime like K-ON here.

>>146299528
But /a/ mostly hates those anime except for Berserk and maybe One Piece which seems 50/50ish.

Also few people say Death Note is shit, but it is clearly not as good as it's often claimed to be. The plot had several holes and the characters did some extremely stupid shit despite supposedly being geniuses.

I don't hate it. I always liked it cuz it's a quality series. The other hipsters hate it cuz it's popular.

>>146301876
There's not a single episode of filler in HxH

>>146299528
Maybe you should realize that /a/ is not a hivemind like reddit

>>146303065
Filler isn't "wow these events has no major impact on the story as a whole" or else everything unrelated to the main goal would be labeled filler. All the material in JoJo has been canon thus far.

>>146304653
To me filler is when an Author just lazily add events that serve no purpose but to drag the story, hence they fill the quota for the author until he decides to actually have the main plot kick off.

In part 3 after the first few episodes of the 2nd season you could just skip to where they meet dio and lose NOTHING.

>>146304923
too bad filler is a term that indicate anime original episode in long series so they can't catch up to the original material. And that's not my opinion, but a fact faggot

>>146304923
There's a lot of important shit that happened in those episodes anon. Fuck off.

>>146302953
Also more importantly death note had no themes whatsoever. The author even said it himself.

>>146306282

It kind of did, just not intentional. People felt that it was a statement on shit like how good intentions can be evil. As you said, the author had no such intents, he just wanted a story about some faggot killing people by writing in his journal.

>>146299528
People like and dislike it at almost the exact same ratio as those other series, except that Bleach is more hated and TTGL. Berserk and CG are more loved.

Fuck off with your selective memory and stop cherry picking series to get bothered by. It's almost fucking unanimous that Death Note was great before L died.

Get a load of this leftist.

>>146306603

Considering he killed even innocent people like cops and detectives, yea.

>>146306638
But there are no good intentions in doing that.

>>146306712

Light believed it was for the greater good. The whole problem with his character is he think he's doing the world a favor by wantonly killing everyone from murderers to even petty thieves, all while thinking he'll be revered as a god because... he was just pissy about the world or some such.

>>146306603
Communism had good intentions at one point, you know.

I don't hate Death Note because it's popular. I don't like Death Note because it's not that good. It's just Yugioh but without the card games.

>>146306971
What?

>>146306845
Light really had no real motivation. He was just bored. What astounds me is that when light loses his memories of the death note he suddenly becomes a good and righteous moralfag. That doesn't feel right to me. You'd have to be kind of a dickhead to even do something like that from the start you know. And Light never seemed bright eyed or optimistic before he got the death note, even before he laid his eyes on it he was kind of acting like a nihilistic prick.

>>146301876
Each part of the jojo manga can take like, two or three days at most to get through, while none of the parts in the anime have broke the 52 episode mark.

>>146307481
agree with this. Light before he got the death note or was corrupted was shown to be completely apathetic and kind of a douche, yet once his memories got wiped he all of a sudden turned into a completely different character when it was clear that the Death Note didn't "corrupt" him.

>>146299528

>There's a lot of important shit that happened in those episodes anon.

Elaborate, what was important in the Egypt arc before Dio's face face off?

>>146299528
It was simply a trainwreck. Started off great but went downhill which leaves a sour taste and makes you forget the good parts just to rant about the bad parts. Happens to a lot of series. Difference between *some* of those other shows and DN is that they don't completely shit the bed.

>>146302953
Light has a God complex because it grew out of him being an exceptional individual. He's extremely intelligent, ambitious, confident and has a strong sense of justice. If he hadn't touched the DN, he would have been an incredible force for good. But with a taste of godly power, it goes to his head and he becomes the greatest criminal, though his persona IS viewed as righteous by many.

Light and Lelouch are both monsters who tackle other monsters for a "greater good", and innocents get hurt. Difference though is Light believes he's right and everything has been confirming that to him. And that hubris leads to his inevitably downfall.
>>146307481
He seems bored because he's already a winner at life. The death note changed everything. He can go from top man (but still just a man) to god among men.

Is that one person saying those things or is it multiple people? What impact has TTGL had on mecha?

>>146307944

Lelouch believed he was right for most of the things he did, but was willing to pay for what he wanted once the time came. That's another difference; Light wanted to keep on going for as long as he could, which is why he never took the Shinigami eye deal because of the life-cost. Meanwhile, Lelouch accepted the idea that he would have to die at some point and suffer for the sins he would soon amass upon accepting geass and beginning his rebellion.

And yet so many people keep say he has to be alive like it's the only true answer.

>>146310098
Of course Lelouch believes he's doing the right thing and will be justified in the end, but he knew his methods were heinous, he was fallible, he's a hypocrite, etc. He knows he's human. Light in contrast was a narcissist and it's because he's had it good and done things 'right' all his life. In his mind, he's perfect, he could do no wrong, and there was no need for him to risk himself for his aims --certainly not for all those lesser beings he made his duty to rule over, judge and execute. We can argue over the quality of the second half but it was only fitting Light be exposed for the conceited, cowardly HUMAN he is, regardless of what good or bad was wrought.

I agree, the "Lelouch is alive" hypothesis has always bothered me for those reasons. He's a liar but that'd be pretty messed up for even him.

>>146311206

Still, you have to admit it would have made Light infinitely more likeable had he been able to see some of his errors, or at least have given more thought to the idea of using the book for his own ends instead of just becoming a wannabe god within a few days of getting the edgenote.

As for the Lelouch theories, some are fairly convincing, and there was something about the very original broadcast of the finale showing he was alive before being changed to make the ending ambiguous. However, I do feel his dying is the more legit end since he's accepting and facing his burdens.

I'm pretty sure most people that hate this hate what it turned into after L died, I know I did

>>146311982

I imagine if they dumped M, and streamlined most of the shit with N, the second half would probably be reasonable more well received.

>>146300207

>>146311864
Or his professed aim could have been to make a better world for his imouto. Instantly sympathetic. But I guess the writer was going more for a story about what happens when a Mr. Perfect gets his hands on a supernatural instrument that can kill anyone. He becomes a textbook serial killer, except he offs criminals along with anyone in his way, and dukes it out with the law, to create his perfect world. Light is not a sympathetic or deeply relatable character but the whole concept of DN is interesting, especially when many of us were teens and captivated by protagonists who behave immorally/amorally and used unconventional means like a book that can kill anyone and mind control.

I guess I could accept it if Lelouch found out after being killed by Suzaku that he's immortal. Then it can't be helped after everything has been done. But I find it hard to buy.

>>146299528
>Bleach
No.

>>146313149

Agreed, and the whole "he stole Charles' code" is just lame because he neither tries to take it, and him getting it by accident while making his parents vanish is just an asspull.

>>146312421

It wasn't bad. Overrated, sure. But not bad in any serious way.

People only like Bleach for the fashion, the bitches, and retardedly over the top twists. While One Piece is pretty much in a flux of great moments and then annoyance with the plodding arcs.

>>146299528
That's because /a/ watched the anime and never read the manga.

I'm not joking, most complains here are about anime original stuff or things that the anime outright skipped/rushed

>>146307804

That sounds like a fun.

>>146307804
Who needs character development anyway? I mean fuck why not just have every story be
>The Beginning
>The End

Anything in between would just be filler.

ttgl is great, most if not all complaints you hear about it relate to the fanbase rather than the actual show. It's value as a reconstruction and celebration isn't lost just because some kids enjoyed it purely for the bright colours and yelling.

>L washing Light's feet

Lelouch was the better character.

you aren't better than anyone else, 90% of everything you watch is meant for children. TTGL is the epitome of anime; serial experiments lain, Kaiji, Kino, Texhnolyze, they all cater to 18-20 year olds. anime is not a medium for adult entertainment. get this through your skulls and you'll become a better person who won't grow bored of anime and eventually kill himself.

Is stupid.
The main characters pretend to play smart, but the author isn't and so they just pull some crap after the other and then they are all "look what genious i am".
