>>81493200
I used to like the manga.

>>81493200
I watched an episode or two way back.
>dude inquire names to kill people
Gay, I rather watch Dragonball

What the fuck is death note?

You're a bit late to the party, also >>>/co/

who remembers when it was originally airing, and the american production company that bought the rights sent cease and desist letters to the fansub groups right before the final episode

>>81493267
If you aren't kidding you should actually keep watching it, it gets good

>implying anime is good

>>81493236
i like the game

I think most people have outgrown the whole "le keikaku" meme and realized how stale the whole thing really is.

also, the manga was better in wrapping up the ending

>>81493200
Every wannabe weeb normie watched it like 10 fucking years ago bro.

>>81493228

>>81493228
the mental chess game in the first story arc is like nothing i've ever seen.

antihero on the edge of being caught.

makes me think of dexter season 2 only more cerebral. like sherlock vs moriarty.

I hate Mello and Near. They ruined the entire series.

>>81493715
Mello was hardly in the series before he got BTFO

>>81493693
Hannibal was kind of like that too, at least early on when no one knows he's a killer

>>81493200

First episode takes long to get going, but episode 2 gets shit started.

Third arc was absolute crap and should never have been made.

>>81493475
the new game plus is bullshit hard and not fun at all but base game is a great mindless romp

suprised no one has mentioned it, but the trailer for the 2017 netflix movie looks awful.

>>81493715
The problem is that two detectives aren't as interesting as L. I liked Mello but he gets knocked off so L Jr aka Near solves the case with his evidence. Having someone like L but not L solve the case really undermines L as a character. I would've much preferred if Near died in a similar manner to L and it took a more reckless impulsive person like Mello to take the investigation the rest of the way

You guys act like fucking Chads when discussing anime

>>81493859
I just headcanon that L knew Near would take up the case and died on purpose to provide clues for him

I honestly thought it was awful and hated every character. I hate how Japan has to spend the first 10 minutes of a 20 minute episode on exposition of what happened the last episode.

I stopped watching once I realized you could cut out half the show and not lose anything

Death Note Anime aired ten years ago in the US.

>>81493200
but OP i'm not a weeaboo fggt

>L dies
>Totally not L replaces him

what were they thinking

>>81493872
We are chads, you fucking nerd.

>>81493200
The anime sucks though. Learn to read.

>>81493267
I don't even like anime but my brother kept urging me to watch it. I thought the premise was going to be stupid as fuck but it picks up fast and moves fast. It's like a cat and mouse game, think Sherlock Holmes meets the Departed.

*spoilers

Shit should have ended after Light killed L.

Everything was shit after that,shit and retarded.

>>81493200
Does it have cute girls?
I only watch anime with cute girls.

>>81493859
>would've much preferred if Near died in a similar manner to L and it took a more reckless impulsive person like Mello to take the investigation the rest of the way

That's exactly what happens. Near spells it out for the audience that he couldn't have solved the case without Mello.

>>81494056
Yes

Kira did nothing wrong.

>>81493715
Non-canon. It ends after L dies. The epilogue is just to please normies.

Misa can get a little annoying at times but overall she's REALLY cute. Like REALLY REALLY cute.

>>81493200
>I'm not an anime fan

I can tell. You're acting like one of the most popular animes ever is some obscure hidden gem that people on a website created to talk about anime have never heard of.

>>81493200
But why did you put the pic of the shitty live action movie?

>>81494126
If light wasn't such a gay homosexual he coulda just put death note on hold and fugged Misa for 6 months and not got caught.

>>81493859
Actually, I think the fact that L fails but then Light loses to Near the best possible outcome.

It gives Light the best anti-hero (or really better described as Villain as protagonist) angle possible.

You see Light both for what he accomplishes and for his insane hubris and despicable man he really is all together in the end. It's even more effective that it really wasn't Near being more of a genius than L, but rather Light simply making mistakes.

That's really the key element to remember. As charismatic as Light can be, and as cleverly arranged everything is- Light is still the bad guy. Anyone who feels that Light should have succeeded and not have his breakdown once Near catches him are wrong.

Great visuals and music but the ruse cruise one-upsmanship became stale quick.

>>81494185
The Light that beat L would never be so reckless with Near. Light basically screamed a confession prior to ensuring victory in the last episode. Also arc 1 Light would have a multiple back up plans.

this is the worst type of crime those japs have committed, and they still do this shit. Why don;t they just air the previous weeks episode right before the new one?

I haven't seen this shit in like 10 years but I remember the last half was the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen right next to Gantz' final arc.

>>81493200
No thanks. I've watched. Ending is shit.

>>81494550
That's the point. Light was filled with Hubris and was going to fail eventually.

>>81493200
>>>/a/

faggot

>>81494550
Even in the beginning Light could be an arrogant hothead. If he hadn't killed the Lind L Taylor out of spite he could've had valuable time to attempt hide his whereabouts

>>81494550
Well thats the hubris theme at play; He's not the same Light from episode 1 or even the Light from halfway through the series.

>>81494550
That's the point. His pride got the best of him.
>Also arc 1 Light would have a multiple back up plans.
This is a pretty stupid fucking statement, man. It's been years since then. He's not as sharp as he used to be.

>>81494602

But foreal, how was the last half DN shit? Did you want Light to win?

I remember wondering why did they bother killing L off when they were going to introduce another character exactly like him except he's autistic and loves Lego's. Fucking stupid

It went to trash when L died. Author was retarded

>>81494942
Same way as the anime. Ryuuk writes light's name in his note. The only difference is Light doesn't leave the warehouse before dying

>>81495068
I'm actually betting it'll be really good.
Simply because Death Note is such solid material to work from.
Doesn't matter who the faces are, as long as they don't throw out the source material when they call it "Death Note" it'll be a ton of fun.

Gotta watch the dub. It's better.

>>81495264
this

I actually almost re-upped my Netflix subscription for it

>>81495299
What's the point in that? They already have 3 shitty Japanese live-action movies based on it, why do Americans think they'd do any better?

>>81495068
If it's any consolation, the character was never intended to be Japanese, either. I used to read the comics as a kid and I remember L being some white ass English / Russian / Italian concoction.

The live action movie had a better ending, with L sacrificing himself in order to expose Light. The anime/manga ending is retarded because Light played everything perfect for 99.9% of the show and died only because someone else made a mistake, not even him. It's shit.

>>81496571
Author wanted light to win. Editors at WSJ were bitches and made the asspull which is why the way Near won is fucking retarded (Perfect copy of the death note in 1 night)

Recently watched a screener for the Netflix Deathnote movie .... you'll be disappointed

when they had misa misa in bdsm how did they let her piss and shit?

death note was pretty cool the first time I saw it when I was a teen

>>81496656
>which is why the way Near won is fucking retarded

it was brilliant. Light's pride was his downfall, and he only won with Mello's help.

>>81493200
>I'm not an anime fan
you are though

>>81493200
I had never watched it and started giving it a viewing (against my better judgement) so I can eventually watch the netflix death note movie

The first 10 episodes were legitmately great and were very enjoyment even to me, someone who reallllly doesn't get into anime

11 was okay then 12 onwards took literally the biggest nose dive I've ever seen a show take. Those first 11 episodes would make an amazing live action, standalone movie. Everything else that came after was horse shit.

>>81495375

As always, it's the quest for more money.

>>81495375
there are actually 4 live action movies, 2 tv dramas and a musical at least in korea

>>81493228
/thread

>>81493200
It's okay.
The manga is of course better. The author would read the last few chapters over and over while writing the new one to make sure he didn't contradict anything. granted that's not as satisfying as having a plan to the story, where he wants to really end up and work to that, but it makes for a "hefty" story, at least in manga terms.

I liked all the movies except L's solo one

>>81497640
>not as satisfying as having a plan to the story
this is all too common for manga series because they need to produce a chapter ever 1 or 2 weeks which I think was the case for death note and the authors are encouraged to keep the story going if the series turns out to be popular even if it should have really ended
this is why you so many series have a really interesting premise then just go off the rails after a while

>>81493228


That source code movie was pretty good,

except for that stupid twist endinghe was dead the whooole time wowowwouwwo

>>81493242

Lol true.

This guys a bit late

>>81496757
does it end with L writing his own name in the notebook to prevent light from killing him during the finale like the jap movie did?
