    It’s one of the staple anime and manga. No different than Minecraft and TF2 being a staple of PC gaming.

    It is edgy, but so what? it’s a fun watch. I rewatch it like once every few years because the music is good, and my perspectives have changed from thinking Light did nothing wrong to realizing he’d kill anyone QAnon accused of being a pedophile.

    I also enjoy the magical realism. Everyone acknowledges that their entire understanding of the world has been shattered, but it doesn’t matter because now they have to go back to doing police paperwork and investigations and sitting around.

    And the best part is that the supernatural deity Ryuk, the most edgy gothic looking one besides Misa, isn’t edgy at all. He’s just bored and tags along a brat who thinks he’s solved the world.
