Moo watches Naruto? Nooooooeeeesss.

I get the appeal of Cowboy Bebop but have never actually watched it. Might one day when I is bored.

I don't watch Naruto. Haven't since the end of the original series.

But you did watch it, and then you go and insult Bebop. That right there would seem to say quite a lot.

Probably the best opening song evar. Evangelion is the only other one that comes close imo.

DB is better than everything. So long as we accept that, life can continue normally.

That opening so never suited Death Note. haermm

But it does kick ass.

DB is ok, but Fist of the north star is better.

I fvcking hate that opening. I was rewatching the series a few days ago and when they changed to that I was just annoyed and disgusted. Its terrible. I really liked all the highly ironic faux-religious stuff of teh original opening.

DB is legendary so hush.

legendary "meh". The world needs to know the greatness of Kenshiro.

As long as you all accept the mightiness of Brave and the Bold over all the other Batman cartoons, I don't care what you think about anime.

Welp, whatever lingering curiosity in watching Death Note I had just disappeared.

The opening is radically different from the actual anime. 😮

Not that one could expect action from freaking Death Note.

Aura's right, that opening is awful and isn't even remotely suitable for Death Note in the slghtest. The actual anime is focused on characters thinking and on logical thought. Half the dialogue is inner monologue focused on them building up plans and thinking quickly. It is absolutely nothing like that piece of shit at all. The first one wasn't great but it was better than that:

That kind of music can eat a dick and die. Is it Heavy Metal? Fvck Heavy Metal.

I like the opening, if only because it is so silly!

I really disliked that they played up the silliness of the show in the dub and certain parts of the anime (Like that opening. I cringe at the shot with teh guy with the jewfro and the shotgun and sunglasses. Puke!). Yes, the potatoe chip scene was ludicrious, can we move on now? The shows about a man who murders millions of people and on his descent into madness. Its not supposed to be incredibly silly!

I think that is in part due to the main characters being silly even in the manga. Seriously, Mello is so dramatic with his chocolate bar, L is a pervert, and Near plays with toys. On the other end of the spectrum you have Light and Mikami using pens like swords.

That stuff's from the anime. Light and Mikami never do their retarded pen-slashes in the manga and Mello never does his dramatic chocolate bites either. Near playing with toys is treated more as being slightly creepy than silly imo.

umad bro?

I am just RAGING right now!

Its lucky Atlus is here to calm me down or you'd all be in some serious trouble.

Indeed, writing has to be spiced up for the show. And Mello did some dramatic chocolate biting in the manga. L is still a pervert and Near still has funny lines like "Mogi-san is some guy." Complete with an 8O look on his face.
