Wow Death Note

[effervescible]

I thought the anime format might reduce the bits I dislike about you, but it only kinda highlights the fact that your dialogue is super-lame.

Except Wallace Shawn does it a fuckload better than Light Yagami.

light bugged the fuck outta me which is why i finally quit reading the manga. when you despise the lead char it's kinda hard to care.

and when you go WHAT? over pretty much every single logic jump that happens....

He's an anti-hero, so I can see how we're still supposed to dislike him...but...we're supposed to ENJOY disliking him, I guess. But I hated him too. I liked L and Ryuk and that was about it.

YES EXACTLY. Someone once described DN as what happens when an author writes about characters smarter than they are, and it is so on. The majority of the "brilliant deductions that only a genius could make" are very clearly BS ass-pulls explained away as brilliance so they don't have to be explained.

i didn't enjoy hating him. i just hated him and wanted to stab him in the face.

i really think the series shoulda ended soon after L died. pretty much everyone liked L and.... yea nothing else.

i only really liked two "genius" things light did: (and i understood these things)
-the way he rigged the desk drawer to hide the notebook
-the way he dealt with that guy... um... when he was on the bus, on teh date, and had a tiny piece of paper from the notebook, and teh guy touched it and started screaming he could see ryuk and everyone thought he was tstark raving mad.

every other time i just wanted to scream for him to stop talking.
