there's a difference between "people who watched Deathnote" and "people who wouldn't shut up about deathnote"

There was a dude who tried making his own smoke bombs to dissappear in, they of course didn't work and i think he set if s fire alarm and got kid arrested one time. There was another dude who tried to do a cool climb leap over a chain link fence and caught his leg on the descent. Cool exits seemed to be their biggest gambit. The early to mid 2000s had an interesting cast

It's what makes me question how it was something to come back after almost 20 years and not something without being associated with dudes whonacted like Kaiba from yugioh irl. We talk about embracing cringe now but at least thst implies you still know it's cringe being cringe while thinking you're the coolest thing ever is a whole other thing

That's the thing, it didn't come back. It's always been part of the anime community. Just like EVA and Sailor Moon
