I won't pretend it's the greatest thing ever and yeah it has moments it's bad and it's absolutely edgy but it's still good it's not genuinely bad it's enjoyable not perfect but fun and enjoyable no moment of platinum end is even enjoyable it's just edge and very poorly written characters that don't even interact interestingly there's no redeeming element

    Being better than Platinum End is a very low bar to pass.

    The best part about Death Note was the concept in of itself. Though, if you take time to unpack the many (often unnecessary and/or contradictory) rules of the book, you might begin to notice how contrived it all is.

    The story wants to be this grandiose game of cat and mouse, but can't keep its finger out of its ass. The show didnt know where to go without L, so they made "new L - now with melatonin".

    The Kira and L are portrayed as tactical geniuses, but if you take any time to actually map out their motives and actions, you'll once again, notice how contrived they are.

    I feel bad for the Mangaka, the deadlines imposed by the industry are super tight and I'm sure it had an impact on his ability to write to the best of his ability.

    yeah it's contrived I'm not pretending it's some master work the tennis scene is probably peak stupidity but it was still enjoyable except yeah after L but you know there's a reason everyone pretends the show ended after episode 25
