Did any anime ever fall off as hard as Death Note (spoilers)

[feelosofer]

it's not so much that Death Note fell off so much as the story arc after L's death just could not be as good the 2nd time around.

What? Are you serious? I left off where Kurono's clone tries to fight that one alien monster (made up of all dem human bodies) solo and Reika goes back to try and save him.

Nah breh I'm lying, I'm about where you are still trying to figure what's the point.

Did any of you mentioning Highschool of the Dead actually finish it?

That one was shyt to me from the jump. Expecting it to get better I got 8 episodes deep before giving up.

I feel the same about Code Geass. Season 1 >>>>>>>>> Season 2 (but the series finale was )

Yeah I finished the anime. Animation is pretty damn dope but I expected the show to be better because the 1st half had a lot of promise. the overuse of fan service didn't really help either

I didnt read death note but i watched the anime, felt like it could be the GOAT, and then took a serious turn for the worse

 

[storyteller]

It was all Kurono's dream.

You're kidding right?

 

[Black_Jesus]

Watched the anime only... Thought it was dope the whole way through... Wish they didn't stop at the second season, and brought in a new protagonist

didn't like the fact the L died. Light was a fukkin lame.

Yo ima keep it real. The Naruto manga has fallen off MAD hard. It aint even what it use to be. Remember when the plot actually made sense? The plot is just all over the fukkin place. I still enjoy it, but it aint as good as it use to be

For real, man. I was about to drop the anime when Light started figuring out about the Death Note thinking it was going to be a boring ride but as soon as L tricked Light with the imposter on television

It was a fukkin' wrap. Near stopped Light but L did almost all the heavy work.

The claymore manga is horrible now. It was utter piffery before the time lapse

It's not better than what yall listed but Gantz belongs in the discussion for sure and people might not agree with me but I thought D. Gray Man fell off REAL HARD after a dope first 100 chapters or so and just got worse and worse.

I know that part of it was because Hoshino got sick all the time (though this doesn't keep Hunter x Hunter from being good whenever Togashi decides to have it published...), but by the time they got to North America, the plot was literally incomprehensible. I'm still kind of confused as to how the manga went from China or wherever the Order was to North America and that whole Alma Karma mess. It just seemed like they went from one place to the other in the space of like 2 panels or something.

I feel the same about Code Geass. Season 1 >>>>>>>>> Season 2 (but the series finale was )

I'll cut the creators a little bit of slack with Code Geass, seeing as they had one thing planned and then got their timeslot changed on them (they went from a late night timeslot to an early evening timeslot that came right before the evening news, which necessitated content changes because the audience was broader and hadn't been really exposed to the first season of the series. Also, they couldn't do some of the stuff that they were allowed to do in the late evening content wise as well), which made them have to basically redo the season from scratch. Goro Taniguchi was widely reported as HATING the change, which was forced on him. So there were extenuating circumstances.

Gundam 00's second season, or at least the last 15-20 episodes or so? Yeah, they had a lesser version of Code Geass' problem, but the drop off really shouldn't have been as pronounced.

Death Note's problem came from the fact that, in having him outstrategize L in the first half, they made him too clever to plot for. They couldn't realistically have anyone beat him without having him make galling mistakes that he'd have no chance of making during the first half of the series. So it ended up flat mainly because it was unbelievable for the character of Light to be as stupid as he was.

Given the problems of other Manga, however, this wasn't that bad.

I actually kept reading only because I was waiting for the big moment...

Spoiler

When Raki and Clare reunite which happened this past chapter...and I can't even lie I'm kinda hype about it
