Shit just got real.
I started watching this on Netflix. The quality is atrocious. Since I am at my parents for holidays, I decided to pirate Got some 1080p, but while it looks smoother, it looks as if AI upscaled it. Is this all that is? Would I waste my time for hunting for something better?
>>284726770Death Note was rendered at a low resolution. Everything else is an upscale.
>>284727021Pity. I loved the thing as a teen, even ordered a T-shirt I designed myself with Light holing a globe and "Welcome to my perfect world" tagline. Wore to school. Watching it now at 37yo, I love how shamelessly teen it is. The edge and pompousness, puts a smile on my face. So, does the outdated sexism.I also started Claymore. Also shit quality on Netflix. And the pirated version is nothing good, either. Same issue I assume?
>>284727211That's a (You) problem if you can't appreciate something despite low quality
>>284727211>Same issue I assume?Yes. All digital mid-00s anime were rendered at 480p and they're stuck there.
Just watched the second Claymore episode and I have to say I dislike it. The show would be much improved if instead of a crybaby kid, her companion would be a womanizing bard. I have a rule of passing a judgement after fourth episode, but I cannot imagine not dropping if after that. Is the manga better->>284727588I can appreciate still. Death Note that is.
What if Penber still had the strength to yell "LIGHT YAGAMI IS KIRA" before dying?
>>284728490Claymore's a strange one, I didn't like the beginning episodes much but do appreciate some of the stuff that comes after the first handful of episodes
>>284728490>her companion would be a womanizing bardI understood the reference.
Who is only just getting around to watching Death Note now? That shit's an even bigger "you had to have been there" than Haruhi, and otherwise you've had 20 years to get around to it. Why now, and why are you posting about it on this dead website?
>Penber gime the files or I'll fuck your wife!
>>284727021>renderedIt was physically drawn by hand tho, that's why it looks so bad
>>284727211>outdated sexism.There is no such thing as outdated sexisn.
>>284728756Claymore hits its stride once they start introducing other claymores besides Claire
>>284728964Death Note is a classic.
>>284729283If Death Note is a classic then so are SAO and Chainsaw Man, all the same "what I watched as a teenager is better than what you watched as a teenager" shit
>>284729403Better than what? Why are you making this a flame war? You're projecting. And Anon made it clear he is making a nostalgia rewatch.
>>284729403SAO is unironically a classic
>>284729183The only good thing about the Claymore anime is the flashback.
>>284729610Unfortunately the premise is a classic indeed
>>284728964Probably people who were born when the anime came out. In my case i watched it when i was a kid and when I re-watched it years later i forgot most of what happend.
>>284729403>Chainsaw ManYou thought you sounded smart when you included something that came out like 15-20 years later than SAO and Death Note, didn't you? Retard
Nothing positive said about the anime Claymore ITT. Is the manga better?
>>284729856I liked the next few mini-arcs after that but it kind of loses my attention in the last 1/3rd of the anime
Bump
The second half is so stupid. L should have died and there should have been a 15 year time skip where it's revealed that his contingency plan was a dead man's switch semen capsule he implanted in Sayu Yagami to create a super detective child with no name that Kira couldn't kill.
>>284734606Death Note could have used more Sayu desu
>>284734606>L should have died and there should have been a 15 year time skip where it's revealed that his contingency plan was a dead man's switchI cannot fathom why they didn't do this. by the end the author tried to play into "we wouldn't have caught kira without L" because he knew he fucked up and near came out as a mary sue.
>>284729495True classics are recognized immediately when they come out and "cult classics" are only loved by trendy hipsters, sorry Lainfags
>>284726454editors always ruin good characters for sales
>>284728964what? death note is timeless, haruhi is not
>>284736094and yet here you are still arguing about it
>>284735893Where does Frieren end up here
>>284736185above fma apparently
>>284736213But unironically
>>284736213Did MALbots finally fall to ESLers
>>284736294I don't know why you're blaming ESLers for Frieren successthey all read Jump, they hate Sunday because they have to go to church
>>284730654Even for zoom zooms a lot of them talk about death note as baby's first anime. Granted these were people who would have been a few years old when it aired but still not the people who would have been watching it as teens when it aired
>>284736923they watch it because it's on the list of anime you have to watch before you're allowed to post, and it's on the list because they were made by crusty millennials with the shit liked when they were a teenager
There's a video of Light eating potato chipsEveryone watches it for the memes
>>284726454Many I really do miss the days when the whole point of Madhouse doing anime adaptations for tv were just a way to train their animators for doing movie work.
