Sometimes people say it's a leftist anime but I think it's way too stupid all of the time to have any real ideology to it and it's better not to seriously think about the politics of it because it will rot your brain quickly. However, it was very fun and I liked it. Suzaku is a cop.

    Death Note is about a sociopathic murderer and in no universe should anyone think Light is a good guy

    I think Light has a lot of parallels to Walter White or Patrick Bateman or Eren Jaeger in that regard. No matter how pathetic you try to make your villain protagonist in the end, some dipshits on the internet are gonna unironically call them a le epic based ligma male

      Light and Walter White aren't good guys, but they are fun characters that you can want to see get away with it.

        For sure. Well, the fun part at least. I didn't want to see Light get away with it in the end. I also think both series do a good job of making you root for their opposition, too. L and Hank are also fun characters.
