Death Note is not good, it is just better than the rest because it proposes an interesting question. The first half is good, after L dies (spoiler oops!), it becomes even worse. The goffik girlfriend is a bad character, but after chocolate dude and Near show up, she instantly becomes like the third best character.This anime is one of the major reasons I decided anime was shit. Me, as a youngin, was forced to watch this by a weeb who tried to convince me that anime was "TOTALLY COOL YOU JUST NEED TO TRY IT!" and so I was like "ok" and in this anime, Death Note, the plot would be entertaining I guess if not for the fact that they EXPLAIN IT every 10 minutes as if the audience is full of utter retards, which I guess they are. Literally every time the characters do something they will start a monologue "and I am doing the thing so the thing happens and then that thing will make the other thing happen I AM A GENIUS!" like... this is literally the hallmark of a bad movie when you have to explain what is happening instead of showing it. Super annoying and unwatchable.
Also the female character is absolutely pathetic misogynistic wishful fantasy of the incel NEET author who thinks a perfect woman is a total doormat who is willing to throw her life away for a man who doesn't even pick her. At least that's how I remember it, it's been many years.
Years later the only things I remember are: 1) the ending sequence, 2) Light laughing maniacally at L tomb in the spin off, and 3) I TAKE A POTATO CHIP, AND EAT IT!!!1!!
