I'm here to say it again : death note was mid

Why? It dealt with the obvious themes of post 9/11 crime and surveillance with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, the main characters were exaggerated views of what a stupid person thinks a clever person is like, and everything was contrived.

... because of those things you said. Mid being very high praise as it was clearly less than that.

In its defence, it was intricate and thought out. The craftmanship of the animation was nice.

Just you know, intricate with asinine details, and thought out to arrive at the wrong conclusions.

I stuck with it to the end. I just wanted to see where it went, and was using it to practice spanish.

For me, it was simply boring to the point dropped it after about 5 episodes

I stopped at exactly the halfway point, as there's clearly a reflection point downwards from that point on. Almost like some invisible hands at the editorial twisted the authors' hands.
