Death Note is only good by accident. Death Note is brilliantly written. It's a comedy. It's a drama. It's a psychological thriller. It's just a fucked-up story a crazy guy wrote. It challenges us to think about criminality and morality. Everything it had to say about criminality and morality is absolute dogshit. It's incredibly entertaining. It's a modern classic. It's just something people liked when they were 14. It's a modern classic but for the wrong reasons. It's my best friend, my greatest enemy, my girlfriend,

i really love the misa, light and L dynamic because it's just the three worst people you've ever met in your life with rotating amnesia manipulating and attempting to murder/execute each other while also going on fake dates and pretending to attend college. sometimes they want to save each other's lives and sometimes they want each other dead and no one is ever on the same page at the same time. everyone is the third wheel in the parasocial relationships they have with one another. i wish hell was real so they could all go there and gaslight the devil together.

“whatever the fuck these two characters had going on” is a vastly underrated character dynamic

okay but light yagami tried hard in school and got good grades and look at what happened to him

the fact that he looks more like L here (from the Death Note manga) than in the 2015 Death Note drama
