For what it was, I liked it. I'm staying far away from any movies, though.

First half was great, second half was shit.
It's alright, but it's not the second coming of Christ like the fanbase thinks.
I liked it. I think it deserves all the praise the first half anyway. The second half was boring as fuck.

They're not that bad but Japanese live action acting is pretty miss though.

This is supposed to be L.
>>154403074
Oh, I was mainly talking about the old movies from 2006.
>>154402807
Childhood is admiring light, Adulthood is realizing L made more sense.

What kind of normal human being admires light, he's a sociopath

agree with this
anyone know of any other anime shows like death note?
not necessarily similar to the plot, but any shows with a plot as intricate and tightly wound as death note?
or maybe even just involving a character as interesting as L
pic related as far as intricate plots that i enjoyed as much as death note

The whole premise is stolen from some movie.

Definitely check out Monster if you like nicely tied plots.
Its a bit of a time sink but the unfolding mystery is well worth it, I'd say its even more intricate than deathnote.
Plus the sheer number of engaging characters is great,
You don't get people with superhuman intelligence like L but each character is very well crafted and interesting.
Well worth your time if you want a similar mystery/thriller type show.

No, don't check out Monster. These retards are just trying to look smart.
Monster is hands down the worst manga/anime ever made, I'm not exaggerating. Nothing remotely interesting happens.
Think of the most pretentious pile of shit you've ever seen. Now make it 76 episodes long. That is Monster.
Light is shit

talk about Monster more. pretentious doesn't mean shit

Monster isn't any more pretentious than deathnote, both shows focus on the good and bad in each person and how different people will work for whats right.
The difference is Monster focus' a lot more on its world and character's and takes a more slower somber approach while deathnote uses magical elements to show the fight of good and bad between two people.
I'd be a fool to deny Monster doesn't drag on at some parts, but the pay off is well worth it if you feel like sitting down and investing yourself in an actually well written mystery story.
If you were too impatient to sit through it all, I don't blame you, but that doesn't make it pretentious or shit. It just means you prefer a slightly faster show, many people do. And I'm not saying this to try and sound smart and I don't like it to try and look smart, I like it because it was a different speed in a medium of fast paced cuts and plot progression.

light was an arrogant elitist shit who had no clue of the law or morals and ethics, and l was basically a hikikomori neet who did nothing all day other than do other people's work for them cuz they were too artist to understand this reverse autist's mind.

Both are for teens. Mello and Near are for children or manchildren. Adulthood is realizing Soichiro makes the most sense.
