Why do you think he has the most favs? I'm not a fan of death note, and L but I'm right mate. L? The 'icon'? Well L is indeed among the most glorified character in existence here on MAL, I'll grant you that much. But I've never heard his name praised anywhere else to be honest. Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of MALfags watched Death Note purely because of him, but the anime fanbase reaches further than MAL mate. It's simply that all the L fangirls happen to reside here. The claim that everybody watched the series because of a character is ignorant in itself. Even if you're ultimately referring to the majority, it's still fallacious. |

Also, even people I know who dont like anime have liked L. I dont, I know people who dont, but you calling someone else ignorant after a post like that? I lold, tbh. Rather than a claim, it was a mere statement suggesting that a lot of L 'fangirls' (as in overly opinionated people FYI) happen to be on this website. http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=4757 Now you're just twisting my words, the difference between my post and his posts is that I don't and do not plan to continuously try backing up my words with words alone; to the point of resorting to dogmatism. Once you see him represent any actual proof as one you were clearly expecting me to have, feel free to educate me. |

I'm aware of that, why don't we scout conventions and see how many L cosplayers we spot? yes the show in general is not about L, but the praise in terms of characters is L, in comparison to Light, L is more unique. sadly. People who don't watch anime have seen death note because of L. |
Kazeshini said: yes the show in general is not about L, but the praise in terms of characters is L, in comparison to Light, L is more unique. sadly. People who don't watch anime have seen death note because of L. Fixed that for you. A lot of people who don't normally watch anime have seen DN, that is true. But nothing in particular indicates that it's solely because of L. You're arguing on a too large scale, if it'd be something like "A lot of people who don't regularly watch anime but have seen Death Note did so because of L.", you would have a bit more point. Yes, L is probably more popular than Light, that has nothing to do with this though. |

miereneronaile said: This is a claim. It is quite clearly wrong. His not supplying any proof to back up his posts does not excuse you from failing to do so. Not that I particularly agree with him, or anything. I just think if your going to shoot him for ignorance you should avoid displaying it yourself. That was purely meant it as a minor exaggeration. Either way, that small amount of completely irrelevant ignorance you claim me to have displayed does not affect this argument in any way. Sure I could had avoided that single sentence, or phrased it as "It's simply that most of the L fangirls happen to reside here.", but it would had made no difference. miereneronaile said: Death note spoilers This is entirely subjective though, I did not give two fucks at that moment. |

miereneronaile said: It made a difference because you were choosing to call someone ignorant at the same time. If you had left out calling him ignorant and said that it would have been a minor exaggeration. If you had called him ignorant and left out that you would have probably been right. Saying both of them at once is silly. Lol, and because of that I am wrong all of a sudden? For all my time spent on the Internet, people have always managed to distinct my exaggerations from me being simply uneducated.. miereneronaile said: More death note spoilers Wait, what? |

| i don't now about you people, i watched death note for the death note, and cool apple eating scenes. i'm not a big fan of L, and i don't understand why a lot of people are. |

How the fuck do you know everyone watched Death Note because of L? Is it because you did so? In case you haven't noticed, not everybody is the same. Not everybody reads the same shit on the internet. Not everybody researches an anime's characters before watching it. You thought L was the best character of the show? Good for you. But that doesn't mean everyone watched DN because of him. BTW, I always thought Light was the star of the show. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's the protagonist... /rant let me pour some salt on that wound by asking wich one was L again? xD i can't remember any of the chars (ok only watched 10 episodes but still) think i'm just wanting to forget ever gotten persuaded watching it xD and still this topic is filled to the brim with clear titles if you would actualy watch the show (or like i said try to google it) it's more like "why is it called lord of the ringSSSS it's about 1 ringGGGG" :D |

He's the really emo dude that VERY easy to cosplay; hence the amount of cosplayers, not exactly his popularity (easier to get a plain white shirt, blue jeans and eyeliner than brown hair, and a school uniform that looks exactly like the one in DN.) He's with the police(-ish)trying to stop 'Kira' from continuing his (awesome) killing spree. the respond to Tiago97 as well, even before i watched the anime i watched the movie, and before i watched the movie the symbol for Death note was an apple. i didn't know L before watching the movie. character i knew on order of discovery (pre-watching) Dat apple->that dude with HUGE eyes->Misa->light Yagami->L as you can see, he was the last person i actually found out about. also, i still think an apple is the symbol for deathnote. |

Yes, L is probably more popular than Light, that has nothing to do with this though. Yeah not this, but what I was saying earlier does, until I was rudely interrupted. Like I said then, Death note Is not a bad name, but preferable "L's Tea-party" would be another suggestive title. I simply explained my reason for that title. that was all. hellsascendant said: i don't now about you people, i watched death note for the death note, and cool apple eating scenes. i'm not a big fan of L, and i don't understand why a lot of people are. ^ bingo! "i'm not a big fan of L, and i don't understand why a "lot" of people are" thank you. |

| This is so dumb... |
| Well for me it would be the following titles: -Skip Beat!: I think I thought it would be about dancing or something. -Eden of the East: I thought it was going to be something about magical/mystical ancient times. You know, garden of Eden... -Summer Wars: Loved this movie, loved the concept, I just wasn't expecting ... -Princess Jellyfish: I litterally thought it was going to be about a Jellyfish princess (kind of like that anime Squid Girl). I could mention other titles, but they are more nonsensical than misleading and most of them have been said already. |
| Seriously, some of the rantings I just read were about the literal sense of titles. Please read between the lines (this is an idiom, don't take this literally too). |
| Tsuritama- (sarcastically) it's a show about fishing! Yay, I love to fish!!! Recorder to Randoseru- an eleven year old that has an appearance of a man in his twenties. a girl who looks eleven years old but is actually seventeen. They are siblings. Gundam AGE- they have the young kids piloting gundams. |

Rosaria9 said: Tsuritama- (sarcastically) it's a show about fishing! Yay, I love to fish!!! If the show is about fishing how is a title that can be be translated as "Fishing Ball"(Tsuri = Fishing, Tama=Ball) be misleading? Gundam AGE- they have the young kids piloting gundams. The show is about Gundams and the title has the word 'Gundam' in it, that's not misleading. The "AGE" part is an acronym that doesn't mean "old age". I don't even know what Gundam series you seen where kids don't pilot the mechs. |

Thank for telling about the show Tsuritama because I would have never thought. Of course it is in Japanese but that is no longer the point. Thanks anyway. |
| And Zero said "Let there be rebellion for the power of the geass is hidden within all of you". |
| Nothing about the title 'Gundam AGE' implied what the target demographic was. The reason you feel mislead is because the Gundam franchise doesn't have a lot of preteen shows to begin with. It could have been titled anything and you would have been just as mislead. Being in Japanese is the point. You can't be mislead by a title unless you know what the title implies. |

| Boogiepop Phantom Sounds like its a comedy about a dancing ghost or something. NOPE... NOTHING BUT NIGHTMARES |

Wow just saw this actually and I'd answer to you RoCSC-006C1BST BUT these nice ppl did for me so I won't say much just who says ppl have to ASSUME things a certain ways? I ASSUMED thing like that and I thought that was the point? I don't need to explain to YOU how my mind works and tbh I could care less if you agree or not. And also, I didn't SEARCH for Steins;Gate. Ppl told me abt it thus I saw no cover, not how it was written or designed and ever thought that MAYBE I have a reason as to why I actually thought that? So please stop being such a close minded jerk<3 As for Angel Beats... I'm sry did the topic say "Please post only JUST unique anime and we don't care what you think?" I think not so this time, just stop being a jerk ^-^ Assumptions don't work in a one way logic >_> *rolls eyes* |

| Welcome to the 2016 version. Remembered about this thread because of the anime title thread. I'm going to add Charlotte to the list. Seriously , what's up with naming the anime like that just because of a single comet which has ( almost ) no relation with the anime. Death Note Hearing the title , I thought it was going to be an anime about a suicide note >_< |

| Ladiez and gentlemanz, I present to you the most misleading title of all time: Mangirl |
| Sword art online. Was initially about sword art online but then became about children and their feelings. |
| 私はサイタマ様が大好きです。私は彼の雌犬です！ |
| Akame ga Kill. You think the anime will treat about Akame, but she is not even the main character of the story, and her presence in later arcs becomes small. |

Illyricus said: Akame ga Kill. You think the anime will treat about Akame, but she is not even the main character of the story, and her presence in later arcs becomes small. Agreed. She's not even that relevant in the show but the title just had to spell their cover girl's name. |

| Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: no monsters, and Haru is not actually sitting next to Shizuku for like most of the manga. Full Metal Alchemist: Ed's only partially made of metal. R.O.D (Read or Die) TV: Not actually about dying if you don't read. God Eater: Not gods have yet been eaten as of ep 9. Rail Wars!: No wars, just fanservice. The Last: Naruto the movie: Not actually the last movie... Wonderful Days: Those days actually kinda sucked. Girlfriend (Kari): None of the girls in the show are actually dating anyone. Hibike! Euphonium: No one cares about the euphonium. Reina steals the show with the trumpet. |
