I've not yet read the manga, but I can say the anime is good up to the point mentioned here. Then it goes into a bit of a decline...
Also: be careful on the fandom. It's pretty much entirely Yaoi-Fangirl territory; a pity, considering how fun the plot is.
I've heard alot about this anime and I'm thinking about watching it. From what I've heard, Light sounds like Rorschach mixed with the Joker and Misa sounds like Harley Quinn. However, I'm not really sure about it. I'm not as into anime as I used to be, despite the username. So, I was wondering if I could get anyone's opinions about it. Please, try to keep them spoiler free.
But then again, I read that back before they made the anime, and it's so plot driven that once you've watched/read it and understood it there's no need to read/watch it again. I watched the first couple of episodes and couldn't get into it. Maybe you need to do one before the other?
If you like drama and twisted plotlines, it's definitely worth it. I think there's some elements that annoy everyone (*coughMisaMisacough*/*cougharmiesofLcosplayscough*), but isn't there something like that in all series?
Sounds like my kind of story. I'm definitely checking it out.
There's a fairly drastic change that happens about a hundred issues into the manga that disappointed me - I suppose the situation couldn't continue forever, but I think the incident could have been handled a lot better. They try to bounce things back to how they were before but it really doesn't work, I stopped reading not long after.
That said, it's really good up to that point - if you don't mind a series that doesn't really have an ending, it's a good read/watch.
Okay, thank you. Maybe I will check it out.
Is that they set up a collapsing situation that there's no escape from. It's great to watch the characters get more and more frantic as the situation closes in on them, and it's really well done (in the manga, anyways), but I'm really not satisfied with how they resolved the situation. And then they tried to set up a similar situation, and that was just awkward. That's about a hundred issues in, though, so there's lots of good watching before then.

Can't be worse than Trigun. The ending seemed incredibly incomplete.
So I'm afraid I can't comment.
Don't take what I'm saying as trying to hint that the series isn't worth your time - it's really, really good. Just be forewarned that you may end up giving it up halfway through when it stops being really good, and there's really no satisfying conclusion there.
Okay, thank you. I never took your comment that way and I'm definitely checking it out.
