girl honestly why are you even doing this? You look like a lot lizard that just recovered from a beating that her pimp gave her. your face looks swollen and actually your arms and chest look swollen where are your collarbones? are you some type of gelatinous government experiment to see if a human can survive without some bones? this would explain you big ass head, damn im not even kidding you look like bobblehead that went to a hoodrat makeover party and got recruited by the neighborhood goon "jamal" as his new main bitch because his last one caught too many venereal diseases and died please work on your body bitch

>>2995723
Yes.

Remember when the Death Note fandom used to call him fat?

Yep.

They also said he wore lose clothing because he was self-conscious about it

He's so cute

Because it was. They butchered the second half of the manga because they were focused on Light and L fanservice. They spent no time on any of the characters introduced and cut important plot to get it over with.

And yes, he's very cute.

The problem of Near summed up. He isn't 10. Didn't really look 10 by end of series. He's twenty something.

All the porn, cute pics, etc. is basically shota. Which exasperates the "meh" the second half of series made me feel.

The anime shat on Near so fucking much. I know L was the fandom's darling, but that should have made them want to put extra effort into M and N to keep people's interest, not butcher their personalities and storylines.
>>3014478
Near is weird. The first times he appears he looks like an older teen, but as the manga goes on he gets younger and younger until he looks like a baby panda.

7 years and a bit and he's kind of been replaced/overtaken by someone else now (shame, I know), but he'll always have a place in my heart so here's some more cute art.

>>3014532
The Mello/Near arc in the manga is fantastic. The anime really does butcher it, and then the Rewrites are so unkind to them that they almost entirely eliminate the need for Mello at all.

When I consider that a great deal of people have watched the anime but not read the manga, I understand the distaste toward them a little more.

I'm almost ashamed to say.

Let's say a certain muppet-looking creature from a currently popular skit comedy. I guess you can only handle having 0 new content of your beloved and a dead fandom for so long, I have no idea how other people have managed it for far deadder or far smaller series.

While it's great to actually have content/discussion surrounding the object of my affections now, it's also jarring to see how many people I have to share him with (not to mention so many people going "hurr hurr I'm kin with this character, I'm literally his spiritual reincarnation"). Near's following is small but also dedicated and respectable.

I'm going to have to go crack open my old computer and see if I can recover my old Death Note folders. I princely had a couple hundred Near pics from various Japanese fan sites when it was at its peak

You're a trooper, it's silly how things like this make me feel proud but they do. Hopefully your new husbando lasts you another 7 years.

I think I liked him more than L, I like both of them though.

I followed the manga while it was still ongoing, and back then people already disliked Mello and Near. Most of them were "Kira was right!" egdelords who were angry their hero was getting BTFO by a cute kid, though, so you couldn't exactly expect them to have taste.

Well the anime was designed to pander to the audience. There was a huge base for L and Light, but Near and Mello were always the second group. So them being wiped for the anime was just evidence of their fanservice bs in the anime.

Tell me about it. I tried to watch the new Death Note TV show because I was told Near appeared in it, but I can't with Japanese live action stuff. Also Near is a girl in that version?

>>3004545
what

>>2995723
Yes, I think he is very cute.

>>2995723
Kinda, but I prefer L. I want his L-ength.

>>3015763
I didn't even watch the anime, just read the manga. I remember falling in love with Near just as much as I did with L. I also really liked Mello. In my opinion they were portrayed really well in the manga.

>>3014532
This. Near is a qt patootie in the manga. Much better than L in some respects. But not in the anime. They butchered it.

>>3015763
I followed it while it was ongoing too. I was in the Kira is right camp near the beginning until his descent into sociopathic user territory (trust issues. And the ending too.
