I'm guessing maybe it could have been a badish adaptation not sure but the plot and storyline overall is just kinda dumb

honestly i thought the concept wasn't bad, and the ending took actuall guts to to do.
the problem for me was the overall structure.
too much happened without anything ACTUALLY happening.
they could have cut the episode count in half.

High hopes poor results.

When I heard that Death Note's creators are working on a new project I was hyped. However, I don't know the details. Was the manga as good as death note? Or was the manga flawed? Or was it the anime adaption? I remember that MAD house produced death note. Did signal M.D not adapt it properly?

Why was it so bad? That's my question.

The reason for it being so bad is first of all it couldn't justify the art of manga

Secondly, the minimal amount of development of our main character, people kept complaining about him because of how dumb actions he used to take rather they should have complaint about how he doesn't even develops a minimal change in his character like the way Light did

Third is the dumb & meaningless fight scenes, most of them were too lame to be even considered as fight especially

The only best thing about it was Mukaido San & angels, and also those banger op & eds

Also the philosophical part of this story later turned out to be too much complicated where they lost the majority of their audience without any clue

I really liked it especially the second half and what it was trying to do. First half was iffy and that's what holds it back to me personally also I just really hate the main character. Osts are amazing and animation at least to me was decent. I think people should lower expectations and not think every work from a goated author will be a masterpiece

As Long as the Sun, the moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be alright.

There are weird parallels you can make between ohba and yoneda. Feels like ohba wanted to kill off their career on purpose and they did it through the edgelord shit platinum end is. There were moments where the story has some good ideas but oddly enough they only come up whenever yoneda is on screen. I obviously got no evidence for what I’m saying and this is a very dumb theory of mine and I’m probably looking way too much into it. As for the anime, besides the fact that no one can replicate obatas art, it’s a surprisingly faithful adaptation based on a bad source material

I watched the entire anime, and I wrote a review for it. You are welcome to go to my page to read it. But in short, awful writing, pointless debates, cringe characters, and the cherry on the top--the most malicious and stupid ending ever. This is one of the only 2 anime I gave a 1/10 to.

Cause it's basically Deathnote. If it was a Battle-Royal, a lot less clever, even more edgy, with an inferior Soundtrack, weak writing and overall lower quality.

Sometimes you just have one good idea in you. This is basically the same story, but with a different twist, following up one of Anime's Hall of Fame Classics AND it is told decades after the original success. People changed. Anime changed. This was bound to fail, in my opinion. It felt like a forced attempt to recreate the 2000's.

Nobody wanted or needed this.

Bakuman was a masterpiece and it was from the creators of death note. They did explore a different genre and art styles, it was so realistic and overall a 10/10.
Platinum end on the other hand had nothing to offer but the manga art. ffs the characters looked like power rangers.

As I said. Take a look at yoneda you’ll see that he’s most likely a self insert. Idk how to explain it better but it feels like the story is purposefully written to be mediocre at best

It was just okay, not horrible. A good portion of it was genuinely enjoyable, specifically the beginning parts of both arcs. The second halves of both arcs were where most of the problems were.
The problem is that it was overly edgy without the nuance of Death Note. It was just too fixated on suicide to a baffling degree.
Also Mirai’s pacifism was cranked up way too high to the point where it actively interfered with his likability. And the pacing towards the end was pretty bad.
Not sure how Signal MD’s adaptation rly compares to the manga but I presume, aside from the art being inferior to the manga, it probably adapted it pretty well and faithfully? It’s a 14 volume manga so they probably streamlined a few things but it seems like the issues the anime had were also in the manga. Maybe the poor pacing towards the end was an adaptational issue though.

Honestly the show had a cool concept and great animation. But it felt like almost every character was too idealistic and there wasn't much character development at all. I like all the different view points but they kind of got preachy and very self righteous while making very illogical or bias arguments. Maybe the manga did a better job of displaying these view but to me they just fell flat in the anime. Also I wasn't a fan of the ending. I don't want to spoil anything but it just felt like it was tryna to hard to me edgy. And finally It was gory just for the sake of shock value but did have much of a build up so some parts didn't really hit.

I believe that the creators try to understand the 'lastest treads of battle royal' and tried to implement this. However, failed. I dont think yoneda would want to kill his own career.

There was no real tension among the main cast, any semblance of a threat to theain character was copped out by another side character taking the hit. Also aside from like a handful characters, a lot of the characters didn't have memorable traits.

What are these high expectations I keep hearing of. I'm pretty sure there was zero hype about this while it was coming out. It was just bad.
First half was entertaining, also dumb but it made me interested, but the rest of the show was painful to finish. The writing made death note's 2nd half seem amazing in comparison.

probably because you are hoping for another death note. if you compare it to death note it doesn't even come close. but as stand alone anime it's good. more on philosophical side rather than other genres

Well, I agree with you. I expected Death Note material. However, if a manga artist has proven his work before. I.e like death note, we can expect a same degree of work. If you catch my drift.

fr hate basing around the mc is unnecessary and disliking his sucide tendencies is understandable but bashing on his character growth? It was very clear who the type of character he was and or was going to be in the beginning that’s his moral standing and for to judge on how why doesn’t he just kill the antagonist it’s clear they’re impatient idiots the protagonist stuck his ideals through and through the story had a good structure the characters backgrounds weren’t sub par The build of the battles were good and made sense the only applicable reason why any has to dislike this anymore is the fact that the mc was originally suicidal and if you couldn’t get pass that aspect they should of just dropped it entirely instead of just nonsensically bashing every aspect because now of their dumbfounded prowess also people disliking this because it isn’t as good as “death note” it’s clear the audience isn’t containing those who actually watch anime this is the Netflix watchers spewing this😭

characters are shallow you have to explain things what exactly were shallow about the character non it’s some prejudice going on here it’s obvious you dislike one the aspects about this show from the beginning and decided to charge through if you wasn’t mature enough to look past the mcs aspects you shouldn’t have watched it at all not one character was shallow every character had their own set of standards ideals what they wanna accomplish the mc didn’t allow worldly desires to taint his character when in fact everyone you know upon receiving the arrow would incite a mass war I normally like when mcs abuse their power but him not doesn’t make her trash him not wanting to kill doesn’t make him weak
