If this released in the current year, what would /a/'s reaction be?
massive dropp
>>282591254Kind of vague question, people been saying that the series went to shit after this part for hundreds of years, I'm pretty sure it would be the same reaction.
>>282591254Probably about the same
>HEEM SLEEPY
>>282591805People have no idea how much the anime butchered the second half of the manga.
>>282591825I wonder if there was a lot of snk style cope at the time "it's a ploy, he's gonna get up at any second now" sort of thing.
>>282591477>straight dropppppppppp
>>282591254>"L bros, I don't feel so good...">fraudposting in every thread>shopping the party glasses on various panels with L>"I kneel, I squeal...">Various edits from Kengan Omega, pretty much every manga that gets traction now is ripe for Sandroposting>"Nah, I'd catch Kira">Some rewdraw of Light as the chad Kensuke starts getting spammed in every thread>LIVEAnything else I missed?
>>282591861NO ONE likes near and Mello.
>>282592094Most people don't even know what they're like since the anime skips most of their actions.
>>282591254It's pretty crazy to think that this caused such a stir on Japanese forums when it happened. It's impossible to imagine today that a manga without an anime adaptation could have such an impact in its 60th chapter, after just over a year of serialization.
Ironic support of Mello would be big
>>282592070>"Death Note isn't anime">"typical Madhouse slop">crying about /pol/ for no reason>constant threads about how the manga is selling billions / losing billions and being compared to whatever else is popular at the moment, even if there is almost zero overlap between the target audiences>constant threads calling it the greatest / worst manga of all time, no in between
>>282591805In the manga, L's arc lasts 59 chapters and Near/Melo's one 49. In the anime, the former lasts 25 episodes and the latter just 12. You can imagine the rest.
>>282592070You reminded me about last year's story time, the last 10 chapters threads were basically that. Most people were probably joking, but revisiting them is a good simulation of what it would be
>>282592094Actually people who read the manga doDN was never really good anyway
>>282591254I only recently watched it and I thought the whole thing was way too overrated. Interactions are fun but monologues tired me out.
>>282591254It would be the same. Shipping Kira and L hard.
>>282592347>OH NO NO NO>KIRASISSIES? IS THIS YOUR GOD??
>>282591861They shortened the second half which is an improvement. I stopped caring about the cat and mouse game when the cat became obnoxious and boring.
>>282595357They dumbed things down and removed good scenes. It's not good.
its the best anime/manga anime up until this point. I have no idea why the author killed off his literal golden goose like that.
