I haven't talked with many people about Death Note. Because when talking about immensely popular series it is hard to find someone how has a clue. I agree it seems some people throw their usual standards out the windows with extremely popular series. Code Geass is literally the worst thing I have ever watched, I don't understand how it could be popular.
And I couldn't disagree with you more there. Hit shows are usually a fifty/fifty shot of being good and worth watching in my experience. Mirai Nikki, Code Geass, Sword Art Online? All horrid and the first two are widely regarded as amazing for some reason. All this despite stupid writing, characters that are copy and pasted straight from other series, etc. Then there are series like Trigun, which is good but not amazing. Hell I could even give you newer examples, everyone was gushing about Akame ga Kill a few seasons ago. It was soooo bad. Sometimes you find something incredible on that hype train though, Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis for example. I doubt that Nanatsu no Taizai will fall into the Code Geass abyss of overhyped trash. I've heard good things from a few of my friends, hopefully I'll enjoy.
Understandable. While the second half does have a huge quality drop, the ending is actually the best part of the series. The last episode is very very good. It would've been amazing if the secondary characters meant anything. Oh, and Near has no time to develop at all. He is simply wordplay and a pun.
'End is Near'
Death Note is a overhyped series. But it is very solid and I see why it is regarded as a classic. Plus it opened the door for bigger seinen shows, which I appreciated.
You've written quite a few other solid reviews, too.
Nanatsu no Taizai, what is all this hype about? I'm not sure if I should watch the anime or go for the manga. Explain?
Also! You dropped Death Note, whaaaaat!? I have never been a huge supporter of Death Note. I believe there are far better psychological dramas out there. Like One Outs for example. Still I'd be curious to hear your thoughts and why you dropped it two episodes short of having it in the pocket.
You seem to be one of the good ones though! Your rating scale seems fair and you don't give 9's and 10's out like candy. We seem to be on even footing in terms of how much we've watched too.
We should discuss sometime.
"From the people that brought you enormous headed children with trouble making friends (looking at you, Haganai), this season, the same studio introduced more enormous headed children with trouble making friends."
Sora no Method was created by a completely new studio (Studio 3Hz) and is unrelated to Hangai. Even character designer is completely different person. I did agree with a lot of what you said though. It could've been so much more if they gave it more time to expand.
If you think about it Shione might be the most developed character in the show, even if it was out of nowhere or barely impactful
