Maybe it falls apart later I dunno, but I never found myself bored reading the manga, or feeling like I was reading something that only weebs could appreciate. If the show is comparable to the manga then I'd definitely recommend it as a show of interest if nothing else. It'll be fun for a good while at least. And Light is just the evilest anti-hero who doesn't even really qualify as an anti-hero cause he's just a monster. Love him.

I only know kind of vaguely what the premise of the story is. One of the things that would make it less appealing to me is if it's one of those shows that have many, many seasons. In my experience, good anime shows tend to bow out after 2 seasons. I've only read very little manga. I kept up with Dragon Ball for a long time back in the day and read some Akira too, but since then it has admittedly mostly been anime. Shows that run for a long time tend to have too many dumb plot twists and too much padding. Death Note is just a series that has a lot of notoriety and a lot of people praising it, so It's hard to figure out if it's worth the time invenstment or not. I might check it out. I've burned my fingers on highly praised anime before. Attack on Titan was complete bull****.
