So I recently started watching death note, and I'm really digging the whole cat and mouse/mystery storyline.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any shows like death note?

Me neither Ao. Me neither. I must congratulate Japan. They managed to make something that even Lindelof couldn't come up with if he had a thousand years.

I guess this is supposed to lead into a movie or something?

Nope. We get the last two episodes in Nov. No movie as of yet. At this point, I kind of want a movie. The only thing that could salvage this would be a giant fight between the 3 Nirvashes, a new typeTheEnd and a whole host of military IFOs.

The movie would possibly be worse than the other Eureka 7 movie
which is quite a feat

Star Wars. With every new format, he'll add something new to it. lol

Lucas is old, but Shinbo presumably has several more decades!

Koyomi was ripped = anime's Han shot first?

I think the traditional Death Note-alike recommendations are Code Geass and Mirai Nikki.

God... Sao hate comments are fucking annoying... you guys had... 14 chances to drop the show. You'll have another 11 chances... why the hell are you guys still watching if you either didn't read the novel or don't like it? Are you masochists or something like that?

I actually had an easier time watching the OP the second time around.

I pretty much agree with all of your post (my favorite scene is different though). Chuunibyou isn't really exceptional (It's exceptionally cute!), but it's definitely entertaining to watch. I hope it goes the coming of age route. Apparently I can't get enough of those!
Yeah on the second go it wasn't as bad. Maybe if they cut at a slower pace it'd be easier on the eyes (and it might look better too).

I can't really see it go any other route but if they're introducing 3 more (possibly crazy) girls, hopefully it doesn't get too unfocused or haremy.

So are we not allowed to think something is watchable and then complain when it hits rock bottom? Or are we only allowed to say positive things past a certain episode number?

I don't have a problem with SAO, but I can sort of talk about it as I'm doing a similar thing with E7AO. By about the 2/3 point, the part when I really started hating it, I felt like I was in too deep to stop now. I might hate it, but I still feel a twisted attachment to see what happens. In some weird way, I'm invested enough to care about how it goes.
 
Oh boy, I'd love to see someone watch Code Geass directly after Death Note. The two most unlikeable protagonists in history back to back.

Lelouch isn't unlikable, he's the best thing about the show. Akito shows how uninteresting a Lelouchless Code Geass is.

Hello, AnimeGaf. I jumped into the K-on! thread and was pointed to come into here. I've been looking around NeoGAF for a long time for a place to fit in, and I hope this is the place.

It's fun. You'll love it here. Just sit back, relax, and don't take things too seriously. And, yeah, welcome!

I kept up until 11.
Could bear no more.
Yui was cute though.

More like I gave the show 14 chances to not go off the deep end.

That's what I get for being hopeful I guess. I was on board with the show since the beginning and even when the show was at its lowest (the 'mystery' arc and the Yui arc for example) I stuck with it. But the latest episode was just downright bad and I guess all the little stupid details just kept piling up. I just decided to bail out now especially since there's another entire arc coming up. For what it's worth I hope the second half of the show is at least entertaining for those still sticking with it.

Oh, that's ok. But you guys will not see me saying the same bad things about the shows I don't like everytime. Since I joined this thread, it's like reading the same thing every saturday.

I agree that this episode will be bullshit (I didn't watched it, but I've been saying this since last week). SAO doesn't have good writing at all, the author isn't that good. But I can still watch it every week without complaining and being entertained by it. Maybe it's because I've read the novels, so I have a better understanding of the setting.

It's like watching movies like The Expendables: you know it's bullshit, just shut off your brain and enjoy the ride. Most animes are like this, anyway. I could complain about every anime I've watched in my life.

SAO is low tier compared to the shit shows we put ourselves through.

You guys put me through Blood-C. I put myself through it in one night. SAO hasn't come close to that.

I have this weird urge to see that...
I think theres something wrong with me

Yes. Gore and ending are the only good parts of it. It's also only 12 episodes. It's kind of a fun marathon, in a masochistic way.

well, we suffered a different fate at the hands of invasive black bars
which was especially weird when one of the monsters consisted of black bars

Masochism is the name of the game in animegaf.
People here willingly watch garbage.
We just have differing reasons to do so.

Man, the
Death of the awful twins. All four of those deaths.
