The Death Note archetype seems like it would be really popular, like Huckleberry Finn or Catcher in the Rye or something.

Adult Swim made it pretty popular in America for a long time. Universal opinion is that the series fell off pretty hard after L died.

What is this, 2006?

Kids these days with their boku no academies and single slap chaps dont know about prime mid-2000s anime like Death Note and gurren lagann. Back in 2008 you couldnt walk into a Hot Topic without having Ryuks shoved in your face.

I feel like I'm in the minority where I don't believe that it fell off at any point, but it definitely had a different vibe when Light took L's place

I think they botched Near as a concept. If they wanted to bring in a replacement for L, they should have traded up, not down. An older, more experienced veteran from L's group would have been better than a younger, more annoying child. If Near had come in with a design and age like he has in the one shot, he would have been way less off-putting. It felt dirty for the series to build up this huge frenemy style rivalry between L and Light, as fellow students/prodigies, then kill off L halfway through and replace him with a child who has no connection to the situation beyond the superficial.

Being forced to sit through multiple episodes of Death Note by my horrible ex is one of the worst media related experiences I've had. Such a shit show.

Death Note is one of those things like Zelda or the weather where it is impossible to go 20 minutes without hearing someone mention it, regardless of where you go.

maybe it's because I was slightly spoiled before I read the manga, and was told that Mello and Near both represented parts of L, but brought to the extreme (Mello being super impulsive and Near being super analytical, and so on) that I appreciated what he was about

and while Near was presented as Light's rival, he would have not have had as much success without Mello's interference, so I thought it was fair

and even though I preferred L, I liked Near's constant trolling of Light
