[Anime] Should I watch Death Note?

[Odeiux]

After watching Baccano! and Durarara!! I became really interested in anime that have the unexpected, and make you think. Because Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail won't be out for a while I need a new story to keep myself entertained (Reading a book strains the eyes.) I'm hesitant about watching Death Note because I remember watching it back when it aired on Adult Swim, and I remember some of what happened, such as the ending (Unfortunately). I don't know if watching this will be as exciting by just filling in the pot holes of what I remember and don't, or will be great again.

Well?

It's a really fun ride- knowing the ending will probably ruin only the last 5 episodes or so. Check it out, just try not to think about how ridiculous it is.

I decided to watch it, and after doing so, I regret ever doubting it! It was such a great anime, and the soundtrack just made it perfect.

Yeah Death Note was great show and the best part was that not all of the plot twists were obvious.

You should try Ergo Proxy or Gantz

Yeah I definitely suggest it. Like everyone else said already, it's really interesting and the soundtrack is awesome. I'm personally not crazy for the 2nd season, but that's just me.

I honestly would suggest against it, the show isnt that great. Writing peoples names down in a book to kill them, isnt exciting at all. Plus all the characters in my opinions are lackluster, even L everyones favorite character.

Don't listen to Myrodis. He's practically the only person I've ever heard of that didn't like Death Note. Everyone I've recommended it to loved it and you are most likely to as well.

Well it's one of those animes where you either hate it or love it, i watched it and hated it. I honestly don't know why,, could be because i honestly didnt like the story nor did i like the characters. THough it could be because its one of those animes where people like it so much that the fandom ruined it for me. If that makes sense?

In the end i loved Code Geass more so than Death Note since other than the mech they remind me of eachother.

I can agree to that love or hate statement. I've never found someone who just thought it was alright. It's been pretty much love for everyone except you and maybe a couple others who have said they hated it.

As for liking Code Geass more now that is something I find very disturbing. Perhaps that could be true with season 1 but season 2 by no means could be so. Season 2 was nothing more than dues ex machina after plot hole and poor pacing. It's true it was enjoyable to watch nonetheless but it was far from something great. I don't know what went wrong with the studios head that ended up making such a season.

[DrumRoll]

or your could watch grey paint dry.

It had good characters for the most part but on the whole I found it really slow, depressing and the ending WAS NOT WHAT I WANTED!

[Nero D. Ace]

Light was an interesting character, id like to see a character like his in a different anime.

[Lokisson]
