I don't like Anime. I just watched Death Note and I don't know why. Anything like that for you? (lemmy.world)

Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.

I'm still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn't a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin' memes now. Hasn't really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I'm still just.... why the hell did I watch that?

Anything you've watched for reasons that you can't quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?

I used to like anime, and I'm a reformed weeb. But what was true for me 20 years ago still holds true for me now: I generally don't enjoy the mainstream most popular ones. Not because I'm a contrarian, but mostly for the same reasons I generally don't like pop music: What makes something have mass appeal tend to not be things I enjoy.

I did enjoy Death Note for a little while, but the concept didn't stay interesting very long;

Demon: Haha
Protagonist: I'm not the villain
Weirdo: I think you're the villain
Protagonist: I'm not though
Goto start

I liked it up until L dies but from then on it just doesn't make any sense at all and is so contrived. I mean not like the 'plans' that Light was coming up with were anything short of fuckin insane.
