I hate anime - Watching Death Note [Netflix]

[Thirty3Three]

in the manga/anime, it makes it feel like he doesn't have all his head.
he feels retarded, or acting like a child, obsessed by eating candy? (don't remember he did that, but I guess he was)
it's a way to make him feel out of the society's code. he spent months in a locked and dark place, it doesn't do any good.

I could see that. I guess it makes some sort of sense. I feel like the way he talks and his behavior, however, kind of limits the feel of him "not having all his head" if that makes sense? He seems too sane, in the movie, at least, which is strange to me, given the weird things he does. It makes me feel like it's not from a place of being a little mentally unstable, but rather from a place of just wanting to look like an anime character.

Not to mention that a series has 700 episodes or something which 80% of it is the same boring shit.

I always figured Death Note was a 12 episode series, but then reading this, sounded incredulous. I looked it up, Death Note the anime only lasted 37 episodes. I never watched the series, I'm only interested in one thing and I hope someone can answer the question.

Is it so bad it's good? If not, I won't watch it. The last time I watched something I knew would suck, I got really...well not happy, and topically enough, it was an anime/manga adaption...loosely...it was Dragonball Evolution. So, I don't want a repeat offense, even though I never consumed any Death Note media.

The netflix Death Note is complete shite.

Not if you head into it without ever watching the japanime

I would recommend just watching it yourself without anyone else's opinion. And then after you have seen it you can then draw up your own conclusions as to whether or not it was bad or good. I have gone into games that "people" have said suck but when i finished them i realized that people usually dont now what their talking about. So it is best to just try things out for yourself since everyone has their own view on things and if you avoid things because of other people views on them then you might be missing out.

That is just my two cents on the matter.

that's why I tend to not read reviews, or just don't take them for granted.
I decide what I like or not myself.
nobody likes the same things, I might like a movie that everybody find horrible, but it's just me
as long as you enjoy it, that's good for you.

I also try to watch less known and obscure things, sometime you find good things. (sometime you don't haha)
I'm a good watcher, and rarely "hate" something. it's just not good, or even bad but not hateful worthy. if it's very bad, I just stop watching but can't hate it. it's Director's choice and vision. some people like it, some don't.

I totally agree, but they did give you a warning, "an adaption...." and adaptations usually piss people off. Personally, I would have rather seen a very loosely based Death Note, as in, 100% new dude, same Ryuk or different shinigami, 100% different plot. For Fred Fuchs sake, they could have had a scene where kids break into an abandoned house, find a Death Note, and let the ball roll when the MC accidentally writes a friends name.

At least Castlevania didn't turn into Timmy Bellamy goes to a party at Carnivalania.

You talk to me like some noob that requires someone's opinion before watching a movie. I know about that message anyways, hence why I gave DBE a shot, I knew I would hate it, but I wanted to form my own opinion of it. With Death Note, I know that it's going to suck, all I'm curious is if it's so bad it's good. 90% of the movies I watch, I did with virtually nobody's opinion on whether it's good or bad, at the same time I get a good feeling that they'll appeal to me. It's that 10% where I'm iffy and would like a second opinion on, in this case, only if it's entertainingly bad because that's one of, if not my favorite kind of movie.

I find it geeky, nerdy, and made for people with social issues and disorders,

The irony is so real

Man, you went all in on the inflammatory, huh? You're free to your opinion, but you really came in here trying to start a fight.

. Anime is 99% bad. It's trash

(doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed like, 1 or 2 animes. The culture of anime and anime itself ruins anime. You really can't blame people for not liking anime when there are so many bad girl moe shit shows.)

I feel like that's something that could apply to most mediums. Big Bang Theory and every wannabe Family Guy clone is a hot dumpster fire, but that doesn't mean animated cartoons are trash. Same with movies, video games, anything really. In a given genre, you're going to encounter more garbage than diamonds. Call of Duty dudebros permeate FPS games, but that doesn't ruin the genre itself. It just seems like a closed minded thing to think.

EDIT: I liked the concept of death note. I've not seen the Netflix version, but I remember hating the anime halfway through. Yawn.

A lot of people stopped watching after :insert massive spolier:, but if you haven't finished it - you should. It picks back up again, and has a really powerful ending.

Oh well then in that case do as you please. You cant say me warning you with that message was a bad thing now lol.

Well, it's all perspective. The gaming industry I see has more good then bad, not counting all the Nippon waste. The gaming industry is also different from the anime industry. When you go into a place like steam, you see a wide variety of stuff, shooters, indies, whatever. When I go to a site like funimation or an anime site, I see almost nothing but moe and alike.

On topic, I did see all of death note and yeah it was ok. It felt like popcorn though, another complain of anime to me.

What does it mean to "feel like popcorn"?

I guess I wasn't into it that much, but it just felt like something in the background. I was watching it, but I wasn't immersed in it. Some parts had me grabbed like the beginning but I just stopped caring.

i did know most of your "description of Anime" in you first line but "filled with cringe-worthy emotes" is new to me.
How did you come to the conclusion that its "filled with cringe-worthy emotes"?

Asking just out of interest since i didnt see anyone use that term yet in regards of animes.

Really? Like every anime has them. For example. This:

Or this:

It's cringeworthy and childish. Nobody does those things in real life, weather exaggerated emotes, or otherwise. It's super childish, and cringeworthy. Ever seen a dude try that second one in real life in an attempt to be cool? I have. It makes me want to puke.
