Thoughts on it?
I found it pretty engrossing until L's death, at which point the plot began to decline. It completely lost its suspense and introduced some pretty terrible writing. Too bad.
Curious as to whether any of you thought Light was in the right. I, for one, was quite happy to see Light get shot to death by the best character in the show, Matsuda. What a bro.

Anyways, I read Death Note before it came out- and thus became popular- in America. It was certainly an... interesting... experience watching people in highschool discover it after having read basically all of it already. I definitely agree that it went off the rails after L's death, and I got so tired of it I gave up maybe ten chapters from the end of the series.

I watched the movies first then went into the anime then the manga series. I gotta say, I loved the movies more than the anime/manga. Maybe it's because I saw it first or it's because L actually outsmarted Light in the end.
I just hate how it's become really mainstream and (most of) the fans has really ruined the whole series for me with it's whole fan-fiction business. Oh well, it had to happen sometime.

i stopped watching it after about 10 episodes. i usually give an anime 10 episodes until i stop watching it, if it doesn't initially appeal to me. such was the case with Death Note. (I tend to get bored easily with anime)

I read it before it came out here too, but I didn't like it. I got 30-40 chapters in before I didn't want to read it anymore. I didn't like anyone and everyone was massively unlikable. I also didn't like that people became retarded for no reason other than to move the story along.

Hmm, most fan-fictions kill animes. and kill characters. like for one, Len x Rin supporters sometimes make me hate the songs they sing together. However they are my favorite Vocaloids. I liked Death Note THE MANGA, anyway, I never liked the anime, for some weird reason...I think it was good still, but really, after L died, the plot died. Even though I never really liked L....i dunno.

Fandoms are terrible. I don't participate in them for a reason.
I'm sure Death Note's fandom is wonderful compared to Hetalia's, though. I don't think there is any fandom for anything ever that rivals Hetalia's terribleness.

Hm, I've heard things about it, but I've never run into it online. The only MLP fans I know are offline, and they're pretty normal people.

Never liked it...Never watched it. How do you know you don't like it if you've never watched it? Actually, Kindo, I think you might like the show. The first half, anyway, when it's actually well-written. You tend to get pretty invigorated by moral ambiguities. I think you'd reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hate Light. But that's okay! I think Light's a douchebag, too.

Light is hilarious!
Light: *dramatically* "I'll take a potato chip... and EAT IT." *crunch* Me: "What did the potato chip ever do to you?" D:
