Is it just me or did Death Note turn in to complete shit halfway through? I started this series less than a week ago and was in love, but now I can't even sit through 5 minutes of it without getting pissed at how unbelievably bad the writing has gotten and how bland and uninspired the recently added characters have been. I mean if you're going to get rid of a good character, why not replace him with a character that isn't the exact same thing but less interesting?
Yes.
L dying was a down grade.

Light and L cat and mouse were the best, yeah. Near and Mello were pretty awful
Near and Mello are pleb filter
I liked N and M, but the general consensus is they sucked ass, so you're in the clear
>>161516000
Mello is shadow the hedgehog of death note
Just look at this queer. You expect me to enjoy a show what an antagonist as lame as this? Fuckin' japs man, everytime they have something that even resembles being cool they ruin it. always.
>>161515974
everybody knows death note ends when L dies. real niggas stop there and don't look back.
>>161515974
yes everyone agrees
>>161515974
You haven't watched more than 5 anime, have you?
I just watched it this week and stopped when L died. Could just tell it'd turn to shit afterwards.
The memory loss/regaining that memory was a mistake.

Babies first anime
>>161515974
Everybody and their grandma knows it turns to shit after L's death.
Especially Near ruins it later.
>>161515974
It's probably the only manga where practically everybody in the world agrees that everything after L's death is shit

Oh really ? I've started it at the same time and I'm already ready to drop it due to how conveniently the whole world acts in Light favor.
>Detective having classified info inside his household computer
>Detective's son able to "hack without any trace" like it exists, with no explanation for something almost as unbelievable as the Death Note itself
>Ryuk acting all "I'm not your buddy pal" but warns Light he's under investigation, saving his ass
>FBI jobber incapable of thinking Light spending so much time in his room is somewhat suspicious for a not-geek
>FBI gives out his identity to gain a highschooler's trust in order to handle one puny busjacker
>FBI jobber unable to realize maybe giving his identity to Light (under investigation) means that if he were to die, Light is 100% Kira
>FBI jobber actually shut his clever wife up when she realizes he ruined it all by revealing himself to his suspect
>FBI jobber is so afraid of death he's ready to jeopardize the investigation on the non-existent chance Kira would spare his life
>FBI jobber follows blindly Light's braindead plan without outsmarting him which is fucking stupid considering he's goddamn FBI and Light's a 17yo edgelord
>FBI consents to write down the names, and send the file without attempting to write false names, send a warning signal or anything
>When FBIjobber's wife connects the dots and sees how obvious the busjacking was a trap, Light conveniently meets her at the police station
>Wife suddenly catches the jobber syndrome and spills the bean to the little faggot her husband(fiance I know but fuck off) died investigating, knowing fully the police team's families are considered suspicious.
>Ryuzaki alternates between genius-level profiling and being a dumb faggot refusing to use tracers, microphones, cameras, interrogations etc
>Everyone treating Kira as a special murderer instead of as the worst threat to humanity ever faced.
I still haven't cooled off enough to continue watching.
Bringing in Mello and Near woudln't have been necessary if L didn't fail miserably.
Also Misa is the single worst character in the whole series.
The series' quality died with L's death. I don't know who the hell thought Near and Mello replacing L was a good idea
>>161522950
They did the job catching Light.
>>161521714
Oh come the fuck on. Not a single one of these Death Note fans able to defend such bullshit ?
>>161520824
On that note: What anime do newfags watch these days?
Death Note seems like an obvious one. SAO? Steins;Gate?
>>161521714
>>161525322
You're right so there's nothing to defend, it's good because of the drama and the chemistry between Light and L rather than because the detective games are of any quality or logic
The only one I have a problem with is
>Everyone treating Kira as a special murderer instead of as the worst threat to humanity ever faced.
which is something deliberate to L's strategy eg L deliberately treats Kira just as a murderer to take the mystique away from him because it's L that's going to be justice, not Kirathat doesn't last

Okay thanks. I'll heed your advice and stop treating it as a detective story and more as a drama shonen.
Have this reaction image I hope you like it.

This. It's a fairly standard conception.
This is a roundabout way of making a troll thread.
