Honest question: why do people like the characters in Death Note despite being goofy and ridiculous?

6 likes

miela583 3 years ago

Despite might be a key word there- my answer would flat out be be "because they are goofy and ridiculous," for the whole thing overall. Please take this with a grain of salt, though- I have pretty serious issues with the pacing/padding, especially in the interminable second half, but think "wow, this is bonkers and not as smart as it repeatedly, confidently declares" to be the appeal.

Because matsuda and L are great, and objectively the best.

@miela583 @digital-devil Both sound good, thank you. I will prepare to reevaluate Death Note in a little bit.

First half of the series is amazing, top 5 anime all time. Second half is the worst thing I have ever seen.

Because it's an anime with a notebook that can slay people and death-gods - even though the story itself is pretty serious I think it's easy to suspend disbelief. I never had any trouble believing extreme eccentrics like L, Mello, Matsuda etc existed in this world. Most of the strangest characters are also super-geniuses and I think there's already an established trend in media conflating "super genius" with "weirdo"

Extra context is that I was there as the Death Note anime was airing (feels like an age ago now) and was a teenage girl, and so were a huge swath of my fellow fans. Most of the characters having quirks A) led to them being really memeable with lots of lighthearted, fun, jokey fan content made and B) a lot of people found certain characters oddities genuinely endearing and attractive.

A lot of guys around this time took up the habit of sitting like L in chairs, wearing eyeliner and eating sweets because he was so ridiculously popular with girls lol.

Late addendum: I own the full manga, full anime, both of the light novels, the "how to read" extsinsic materials, played the DS game, watched every single live action adaptation and the Broadway musical (which is... so, so much better than it has any right to be, maybe the goofiness of Death Note's premise made it work as a stage musical).

Less an expert and more a piggie eating up the content slop that is the endless reboots and adaptations, even though almost all of them are objectively bad.

Once Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 are released on Nintendo 64 Online, I'm going to play both games on the same day. (Without using a Nintendo Switch.) Nintendo has done a lot of awful things. And not releasing these titles on the Wii U Virtual Console is one of them.

I spent way too much time writing a summary/guide to various pixel art virtual pets sites with tips I wish I knew before starting (and accidentally killing four dragons RIP 😭) in case anyone else wants to start collecting fun virtual pets too 🥚🐣🐉 https://lostletters.neocities.org/2022/11/25/virtual-pets.html
