This is all completely irrelevant to fans of BB and ppl who don't like the supernatural genre.
What similar genres? How is the supernatural component of DN similar to any genre in BB? It isn't. Hence my point that some ppl who may be looking for something similar to BB would not want something involving supernatural elements so bringing up GoT or anything else under that genre whether it's popular or not would not matter at all
Again, DN/BB are both listed under drama, thriller, and drama on imdb.
If said person is a fan of said genres, it follows that they'll most likely like both shows.
Regardless of DN's extra genres(supernatural/animation).
That's not a valid support to an assumption. If that meant anything to this discussion I could bring up friends who don't like the supernatural genre or who don't like anime
I didn't say that it was. It's an assumption.
You seem to not know the difference, so I cleared it up for you. You said "some ppl simply don't like some genres. It wouldn't matter if it was good." I was talking about shows( primarily animes), then you misused the word genres. The exchange is down below. You need to pay more attention to the words you type.
If the show is good, I don't think most people will care about the unrealistic aspects of said show.
Some ppl simply don't like some genres. It wouldn't matter if it was good. Your examples don't really change the argument. They're outliers at best.
Same story. Nothing I'm saying about the story changes.
You haven't seen the anime therefore, you can't say that.
As opposed to when it was L trying to trap Light. Light doing something to lure Near out doesn't mean the quality didn't drop. I think it's just clear you were fine with the drop in quality.
See this is where it's important that you have seen the anime. You're talking about the manga, which I have not read.
I'm talking about the anime, which you have not seen.
So discussing this "drop in quality" is a waste of our time.
The quality of the anime was great from start to finish.
Once you've watched the anime, then you can construct an argument that says otherwise.
An irrelevant hypothetical question which I answered and then explained why it was so flawed in the first place
The point of the hypothetical question was to show that the drop in quality had more to do with your opinion rather than there actually being a drop in quality. The psychological warfare contines with near. Right from Near's enterance to Light's death. First N figures about that L #2 has to be Light, then Light kept trying to lure out N through some mind games. As implied by Light when he'd be thinking to himself "What are you doing to do N?"
No it is not. This is just a bull **** assumptions and more of the same what ifs. You have no basis for what you're saying here. The fact is it didn't happen that way. So it's not safe to say AT ALL
Mello and N were both students at Whammy's house. That's the basis of my argument. Therefore whatever Watari did to L, he most likely did the same thing to M and N. As I said before, the anime implied something like that through several callbacks to L.
That's because they're clearly L facsimiles created to try and fill the void of L. It doesn't make them equal to L. As I've repeated they only succeeded because of what L already done. That's already added advantage. If you want to keep playing the what if and replace L with Mello/Near hypothetical it's pretty clear that if Light had faced off against Near and Mello instead of L he would've killed them too. They only won cuz they were working off of what L already did.
It doesn't matter that some of the things they did reminded Light of L. That does not mean at all that what they did is exactly what L would've done. It couldn't be since Near worked with Americans and Mello worked with the mafia. Two different tactics
This here doesn't help anything you're saying. So L got split in to two characters. Doesn't change that it was two ppl vs Light or anything else I said in regards to the format in to how Light was taken down. It just continues to show you can't simply swap out Near and Mello for L. Despite similarities, there are clear differences in all 3 characters so you can not say they're the same or would've done the same thing.
That's just common sense.
No they're not. Mello and L have more disimilarities than similarities. That would have been the case if there was only one of them. Since there's two, the L aspect(Light's demise) of the show changed. No longer did Light have to worry about what one person was doing. He had to worry about what two people were doing. Mello almost made Light have to kill his own sister. That's just one of the examples of where the quality is still top notch.
They're L's successors, so whether or not they're equal to L doesn't matter at the end of the eay.
As you said, "No .... sherlock." They're L's successors. Successing implies continuing the work that said predecessor left unfinished.
You're incorrect because L worked with criminals and he would have worked with any national police agency. He only worked with the Japanese police force because he concluded that Kira was in Japan.
What I was saying is that the L aspect(Light getting caught slipping) got split into two forces(mello/near).
I wasn't saying that all three characters are the same.
All things being equal, L would have taken similar actions that mello/near did. The show thought highly of deductive skills.
Given the deductive skills that L processes he would have came to the make similar decisions are Near.
L was going to test the DN himself. That's something mello would have done. In fact, I think he almost did it in the anime if I remember correctly.
L revealed to Light that he suspected him of being Kira. That's what near would have done. In fact he did something similar to that by annoncing to the task force that he suspected Light of being Kira.
