The Uniqueness of Desu Noto (Death Note) and why it is different unlike its fellow Shonen series

By: Kurasuchi~sama

I’m not really a die-hard Death Note fan, although, I admit, I watch Death Note, I like Death Note and Death Note is one of my favorite animes. (But please don’t compare it to Bleach, Naruto and One Piece, Death Note doesn’t reach that level yet.. *I think.. J*) Well, if you ask me, Death Note can be different in a lot of ways. Why? Because.. (Before that, let me compare Death Note to Bleach.. since they are both shonen, and also, both of them have shinigami (Death God), that makes them more similar..)

Similarities and Dissimilarities between Bleach and Death Note


:) desu noto vs. burichi.. who will win??

Bleach:

In Bleach, the shinigami look like human beings.

Death Note:

In Death Note, the shinigami looks scary! L They look more like hell-dwellers in fact, (Sorry, Ryuuku, but it’s the truth XD..)

Bleach:

In Bleach, it is more of fiction and supernatural. Almost all of the story arcs of Bleach are supernatural that makes it common in terms of its story genre.

Death Note:

In Death Note, some parts of the story may be supernatural, but most of this type is natural, what I mean is, for example, if the existence of the Death Note is real, its story can be possible.

Bleach:

The characters are also supernatural. They have magical powers, had magical or supernatural antagonists, the protagonists are fun to be with, has a comedic sense, cute stories and jokes, has fun teenage humor, the main antagonists are composed of young people, has great swordplay, great pace and action, has cute mascots, puppy love stories (I’m relating to IchiRuki! J), long story arcs, has a common path of the story that makes it predictable (but sometimes not.) and has addictive episodes and chapters.

Death Note:

The characters are just mere humans. They don’t have magical powers, nor did not have any supernatural antagonists and protagonists. The only supernatural things in there were the shinigamis and the Death Note. The characters were too serious, kinda old, doesn’t have any comedic sense at all, doesn’t have great action, but breath-taking moves (relating to Light and L’s battle of the brains), has short story arcs, story is kinda natural, and amazing scenes.( Even if Light persists that what he plans is good, we can clearly see his hidden evil desires.. yup.. E~V~I~L~~ hidden desires.. L)

That’s enough on the compare and contrast section between Bleach and Death Note on this damn article.

I’ll just edit this article if I think of something more. So long now, ciao, it is raining, and my head hurts from too much studying.(Because our exams just recently finished. o_O?)

Well, see ya! Hope we can have a nice chat in the comments section!

Ki o tsukete, minna! Domo arigato gozaimashita!
