???
I watched a couple episodes and didn't think it was THAT amazing. It was ok but not great.

P.S. I'm not hating on Death Note.

I also watched couple episodes of Bakemonogatari and thought it was boring as fuck, but you don't see me making a thread about it.

Don't finish it if you didn't like the first part, ignore people above.

The first episodes were incredible, but the second arc was a massive drop in quality, no way you'd like that part if you didn't like it to begin with.

They cranked up the cheese levels to 11 in the anime to the point where I couldn't take it seriously. The manga is cheesy but its a lot more restrained imo.

I would understand if you said manga is better, but I disagree that anime was bad.

I probably shouldn't say that, but Death Note is the only show I "dropped". A friend of mine showed me the first episodes, and I never looked for more. Seemed ultra fascist to me, I'd rather read Starship Troopers again for far right-oriented fiction.

it's one of these animes that really makes you think about what's happening if you ignore the anime for 1 min your mind would be fucked, i used to be like that when i was like 11 you probably like animes that has tons of blood scenes and badass fights, then death note is not for you.

You have a problem with plural or ? The show from what I've seen (5 or 6 episodes, can't remember) seemed like a huge power fantasy for teens. It fails to question the MC's actions and seems to adhere with Light's concept of justice. AT LEAST Heinlein's Starship Troopers tries to reason with the reader.

So basically you think it's nothing special after watching just a "few" episodes.

It's the same with those assholes who think that God Eater is horrible after it released only two episodes.

It tries to go for the Grey Morality thing - is it wrong to kill criminals so swiftly? It has the cool structure of 'guy helping the people who try to catch him' which can lead to some fun mind games. I loved it back in the way. Nowadays I'd find it has too much build-up and not enough payoff. Still, it's a pretty great thriller.

I imagine it might have something to do with the 30+ episodes you haven't seen. Just my wild guess though.
