I don't like Anime. I just watched Death Note and I don't know why. Anything like that for you? (lemmy.world)

Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.

I'm still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn't a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin' memes now. Hasn't really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I'm still just.... why the hell did I watch that?

Anything you've watched for reasons that you can't quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?

I saw Perfect Blue on top anime lists over and over again for literal years. The synopsis had no appeal to me at all, as I am not really into jpop or celeb culture or anything like that. I knew it existed, but assumed it wouldn't be for me.

Earlier this year I just decided to dive in on it. I didn't quite understand everything about the culture presented, but I still found myself engrossed, loving the story and basking in the visuals. Then the final act sealed it as one of my favorite animes, too. Wild ride of a film.

Edit- I agree with you regarding ending death note "where it should have ended", after that moment just feels like half assed trying to recreate the magic between Light and L.

Paprika was made by the same guy (Satoshi Kon) and is a whole lot trippier.

Ah we wanted to watch that too, but couldn't find a eng dubbed version anywhere! I know, I know - absolute heresy - but dubbed is the only way I can convince my partner to watch foreign lang films with me haha.

If I ever find one though definitely plan to give it a go.
