i'm doing a pole.write your top 5 anime and Death Note's position(if it's not in it).
for me:
1#Death Note
2#Elfen Lied
3#Neon Genesis Evangelion
4#Code Geass
5#Trigun
I know it's kinda wrong,since we are in a Death Note board,but i wanna see what else Death Note fans like...
1 Gungrave (sweet dear lord why is this not on a list yet?)
2 Outlaw Star
3 Cowboy Bebop
4 Paranoia Agent and Death Note tied
5 Trigun and FLCL tied
If Death Note would have ended it in 26 episodes it would be tied with Cowboy Bebop but the show completely jumped the shark after L died.
My top 5, if movies count:
1 Neon Genesis Evangelion (series & movies)
2 Mysterious Cities of Gold (sheer nostalgy)
3 Death Note, tied with Kenshin OVA
4 Akira
5 Laputa Castle in the Sky
Agree with you savvyspence. They shouldn't have continued the manga, If anything they should have just made the L arc a lil bit longer and end it there instead of dragging it on until it became a shadow of its former self
shareTHANKS
shareYes, it is.
shareIt's not at all the greatest. But, it's exceptionally good for the first 26 episodes or so.
What should one care to say?
That's right. With L's death, the anime goes down.
shareeven with 37 episodes ,death note is still the best.I know it's not that good than the first arc,but give it a break ,and it was going insanely good for the most part and a few not-so-good episodes or underdeveloped characters aren't enough to say it sucks.I mean just look other anime with 200 and more episodes that are clearly fillers.
shareNobody said it sucked. I pointed out that it was exceptionally good for 26 episodes or so. It stands out from other animes in these episodes, but in its entirety it's not at all the greatest. That's all I said, anyway.
What should one care to say?
waiting for replys,here's some other i've seen and i think there great.
Cowboy Bebop
Higurashi
Chobits
The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
I'm watching Monster now,it's ok but too long for my taste(74 episodes).I'm in 35.
a small update on a show i watched and recommend:
Fruits Basket
Also,i have only watched 3 anime movies(except the end of eva)that are really interesting to watch,each for it's own reasons:
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Spirited Away (especially that was amazing)
They had to do the 37 episodes including the final arc with Near and Mello, because that's the story the original comic told. If they just ended it at 26 episodes and L's death, then I bet a lot of people would be complaining that it "bastardized" the original comic...
shareThat's true but it doesn't matter. It's still a poor part of the anime, regardless of the manga. Because yeah, you SHOULD judge the two as separate entities....
sharei agree, you can't have it both ways
if you want to tell the ENTIRE story, then you also have to accept that parts certain arcs are good and others are a bit contrived
What should one care to say?
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU FÚCKING *beep*

Y SO SIRIUS?
I felt the same exact way, i just kept waiting for L to somehow come back, but it never happened...bummer.
shareIt's good, not great. Is losing me, and is way too stretched out and too many new things throw into the mix as the show went along.
Thanks,
