How Death Note Changed Anime Forever - 20 Years Later

[@axr973]

Death note Is literally the perfect 1st anime to watch imo

[@plotagonists]

I couldn't agree more! It was my 3rd anime and still in a very important place in my heart.

[@Malyk0214jea]

This probably the only popular anime im surprised that didn't have a follow up or a story continuation, could work just jojos where a new protagonist every season, just finished watching it for the 1st time few days ago, simply brilliant 👏 💯

No it would stale very quickly as how much can you really do with a death note

[@mickieg1994]

Great video, subscribed 👍 Death note was something that a friend recommended me as an entry way into anime, while i never quite got into the genre as a whole, this show left a real mark on me, absolutely loved it from start to finish Also the live action movies i thought were great too, which is another rarity Actually had a really weird experience while watching the movies with my dad and yoynger brother, all 3 of us experienced the same phenomena where you begin to hear the japanese actors speaking english, as your brain begins autoreading the subtitles and changes the sounds to match, its a crazy weird thing to happen and we had to rewind to check they were infact speaking Japanese the whole time

[@plotagonists]

That's an absolutely WILD story bro! I've never heard of that happening before, but it makes sense how your brain could auto-interpret like that. And to think that the three of you experienced it simultaneously is pretty incredible.

The ending of Death Note broke me, I felt a massive connection to Light and seeing him cry and even call out for Misa was heartbreaking. Overall, I think Death Note beats Classroom of the Elite, and every other strategy/psychological genre #Onepiss

Just finished reading death note. Very good manga. Top 5 for sure.

I dropped this Anime after L's death. I think I have to rewatch it again... Thanks for the review!

[@plotagonists]

You should! I never miss a year without re-watching it.

It's a very well put together synopsis & analysis on why it wouldn't be anything special today, but I think your missing the point, the reason it was so enlightening or ground breaking, was due to the concept being completely knew; the idea had never been invented or used. If it weren't invented in 2006 & it came out today, it would still be a masterpiece because the concept had never been thought of... Just due to that fact is what makes it exceptional artistic work. I think that's why it was so compelling, & it was extremely well written compared to literally most stories we read today, whether anime or not.

I think after watching orb this season death note still can Compete with modern anime

[@plotagonists]

Yes! The fact that many anime have taken inspiration from DN (Death Note) is undeniable.

[@bruhmananimation]

I just watched death note and it was so good

[@plotagonists]

"It was good" is an understatement, honestly. It's in a league of its own.

[@cargoboysTV]

Would love to see you analyze Re:Zero and its twists on being indifferent to the Isekai genre 👀

[@plotagonists]

Game On! After I upload the Top 10 Chill Anime to Watch this 2025 :)

God I missed Kira so bad!

[@alyme_r]

This video was good but why does it sounds like youre an AI voice? is it just your microphone

[@plotagonists]

Trying to find the right tone and style for my videos, so I'm glad you're noticing the voice. I'm always experimenting with how to deliver my content in the best way possible. Thanks for the feedback! ;-)

It didnt change shit. Nothing as good came out After it. We could argue if its mushoku, but its much different genre
