Clearly you are not at about the half way point yet, it won't be so amazing after that. It didn't even take that long, IMO! ...Personally it pretty much lost me after about 6 episodes. I watched the whole thing out of a twisted sense of obligation, but I never got the hype for really... any part of it. >_> It had some pretty interesting concepts, but just... never really delivered on them all that well, IMO. -- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

I don't get the love for Death Note... it was a guy acting like a God thinking that his morals were greater than the world by killing criminals.
You know the problem behind that logic? You know how people get accused of crimes they didn't really commit? You could have very well been killing all of them too. Light Yagami is probably both 5th most liked and 17th most disliked character on Animeplanet. Seriously -_- just shows the kind of character he is. There are people that are blind and see him as a guy that tried to liberate evil but tried to beat the best character on DN. Or the people that see him how he really is. A mass murderer that's no better than those that were in jail. -- Official Pidgeot of the B/W Boards Clan :D ... Copied to Clipboard!

The second half isn't actually bad. It's just such drop-off in quality that it feels way worse than it actually is.

I wonder if these people think liking Hannibal Lecter means to applaud serial murder. I get your point there, I just tend to dislike characters that can get me pissed off. And he was the first main character to ever do so. But you're right, I don't dislike Hannibal Lecter or dislike people that like him for who he is. I have no opinion on his movie since I've never seen it, nor plan to due to squeemish-ness... Now for another reply. Second season, yes, it wasn't as bad as people treat it. It showed Light truly going crazy, another person that was just as crazy. And two enemies that were not as cool as L, or even close for that matter (for your information, no I'm not Near. I'm far cooler than that twerp. But not as cool as L). But still had a nice way of everything evading, and a very nice ending (leaving it as that to not give accidental spoilers). -- Official Pidgeot of the B/W Boards Clan :D ... Copied to Clipboard!

pjbasis 01/10/12 11:36:00 PM #23: |
Now it's just my theory, but maybe you watched Death Note thinking the intention was to paint Light in a positive way. I tend to dislike characters when they either mess up the storyline, are boring, or are depicted in a way I disagree with.
Maybe if you rewatch with the mindset that Light is not meant to be looked up to, he won't piss you off as much. -- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: pjbasis | #010 Also how I felt, and I read the manga first. Coincidentally, I think the anime kind of makes the second half worse than it should be by not explaining/rushing by some points. And I think they completely left out the part with the American president, which I'm pretty sure created a plot hole. It's been a few years, I don't remember for sure. -- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police http://i53.tinypic.com/2hpufbd.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I look up to Light, that guy is amazing.
But yeah early in the series he's painted as a clear sociopath, which by definition means you shouldn't really relate to him, but you do anyways because he's so cool. I mean, one of the most important things Misa does for the story is show how empty and heartless Light is. Anyone else in his position would've been all over her, but he never thought of her any more than just a tool. Not even a tiny bit. -- _foolmo_ 'I love you so much' - SineNomine ...

WickIebee 01/10/12 11:49:00 PM #27: |
Probably, by his meaning, I expected him to be a good person. Especially since he was the main character. Also why I didn't like L for most of it.
After the midpoint, I disliked Light because of the way he treated people within his life, thus grew to hate him by the end. While grew to like L because of the way he was protrayed. You know what that means? Effective series was effective. Don't know why I still degrade it, oh right, because I watched the knock-off with mecha robots first. -- Official Pidgeot of the B/W Boards Clan :D ... Copied to Clipboard!

The second live-action movie has the superior ending. And not just because of the actual plot differences, but the writing and performances were just much more clever and compelling.
So, anyone who hasn't seen those, I suggest you remedy this problem. -- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 ... Copied to Clipboard!
