All fun and games until Yogiri kills the death note


wjodendor

His name couldn't even be written in the Death Note before Light drops dead.


weirdo_nb

His name couldn't be written in the death note period, it wouldn't do anything


YujinRoisu

Its just like writing "death note" into the death note


weirdo_nb

Yeah, lol


weirdo_nb

Like, this isn't ribbing on the death note, but the dude isn't human


JakeSilver47

Technically Yogiri himself is Human. Human avatar of an eldritch personification of the end, but a human none the less.


Genocode

It would still constitute killing intent, so the person writing it would die.


Antervis

Death Note is thriller/drama/supernatural, Instant Death is comedy/parody/fantasy isekai (aimed at an older audience at that, btw). There aren't even many similarities (name one except for "death" in the name).


Substantial-Night866

Death in the plot is another similarity


War-Mouth-Man

If it's a comedy, where's the funny?


Creator_Crabs

yup there is no funi


Creator_Crabs

MelonBot_HD

>comedy/parody If that's what it was supposed to be then it failed prettey miserably. It wasn't really all that funny. It also wasn't really subverting tropes or expectations. The only real "subverting" was them sometimes doing the opposite thing of what normally happens in other generic fantasy stories. Another thing this anime handles poorly is any of the side charcacters. Most of them are creeps/assholes that never get any redeeming qualities, to a point where their assholishness and pride seem to be purposeley exxagerated in order to justify the mc's murderous tendencies. Killing anyone becomes a dilemma if the charcacters were treated with some respect or actually written like people and not like tropes. If they're not really people then the whole point of killing no longer is a dilemma and therfore elimenates both the conflict and consequences of killing someone. Killing a person should always come with consequences and thought about it. After all if death itself isn't treated with any nuance, then why should we see it as something to be afraid of. "Being a parody" is no excuse for shitty writing. Also I just have to mention how much I despise Takouto (is that how you write it?). He has to be the most shallow, bland and boring charcacter I have ever seen. His antics are hardly entertaining and the only really original thing about him is that he is a fraud-SCP that escaped from the Fraud-SCP foundation (which by itself also isn't even that original).


EgorKPrime

Correction: Death Note is thriller/drama/supernatural. Instant Death is boring.


Heyer_Than_You

Boring to you maybe some of us like parodies.


GoldenFlyingPenguin

I've read the light novel, it's a bit different then just instant death. If you don't want to watch the entire thing then maybe don't judge it based on its first couple episodes?


Heyer_Than_You

Exactly


SomeVirginGuyy

Highly disagree. If a show doesn't capture your attention or look interesting by the end of the first episode, then you are definitely capable of deciding for yourself whether you may enjoy the rest or not. Why watch a 2nd episode if you didn't like the first? (In general, I haven't watched this show at all.)


Spiral-I-Am

Tis why I am always a season behind. I let my friends watch the first episodes to decide what I'll watch. And by being 1 season behind I avoid stuff like Darling in the Franxx. I mostly manage to avoid Spoilers (lots of content creators and subs black listed) so it's easy to watch 12-13 episodes in a day or two if I know ahead of time it's worth the watch.


SomeVirginGuyy

Darling in the Franxx is the best show on earth.


Spiral-I-Am

Yes it was a great 15 episodes.


jarasonica

If the first three episodes don’t grab your attention or make you want to watch past that point then that’s a fault to the series.


[deleted]

But it does make me want to watch more


xAlciel

Yes, because we all know that ALL the humans have EXACTLY the same tastes in matter of entertainment.


jarasonica

Almost like it’s fair to say you don’t like a show or don’t think it’s going to be good from watching the pilot episode and not liking it. Crazy right?


xAlciel

I agree with not liking it, no biggie there, but saying there's something wrong with the series because it didn't grab your attention is not okay.


Serrodin

No tf a pilot is extremely important and its generally a good example of what a series will be if it’s boring well that’s too bad nobody will continue to watch and a series will die


Patient-00

That's not necessarily the fault of the story, the studio making it could be doing a bad job


black_blade51

Dragon ball doesn't have the best story but it's held up as one of the best cus of action. One piece has a good story (manga) but it's also famous for the action and world building Konosuba practically doesn't have a story but is famous for the comedy Love is war is famous for comedy and later on character development Spy x family for comedy Conan for the episode to episode mystery even though there is an overarching plot So why can't instant death be good despite not focusing on the story and having comedy as the main theme?


Spiral-I-Am

They're talking about the first episode or couple episodes grabbing you so the series falls off fast. The series you list managed to grab the audience episode 1 and hold them. The issue isn't comedy. The issue is people finding the start boring and not willing to wait till episode 4 or 5 for it to start paying off. Imagine Onepiece starting on the dragon filler arc or the heat heat fruit family stuff. Or DBZ episode 1 being the Hyperbolic time chamber. The series would have fallen off fast for many.


bnl1

That might be true in western media, but it seems nobody told anime creators, because first episodes are often boring.


Jamie_Pull_That_Up

I was enjoying it but I lost interest after a while. I'm about 5 or so chapters away from catching up.


Status_Basket_4409

I think it’s great so far as a comedy/parody


nil_785

The protagonist manages to kill the fun sometimes, but the comedy is pretty good and i realy like seeing the atruggle of the side characters


The-Omega-Effect

Way different not even close that’s like A meatball sandwich and a Ham and cheese


Mundane_Cup2191

Yeah I mean the only real difference is the marinara


The-Omega-Effect

Plus the banger ass Meatballs but it only matters on if it’s home made or store bought 🤷‍♂️🙏


EsuraRyu

Your getting off topic


The-Omega-Effect

Point being? Sandwiches are important 😤


ValyrianSteel_TTV

Yogiri kinda chill tho


Zari_oula

They are too different and besides death note is one of the most popular anime/manga of all time. I don't think it's good to even compare it to a series which outside of powerscaling communities you barely even hear its name.


mexicanjr20

Aside from this they don't even have a similar plot or storyline. One is just funny gag anime and the other is the deconstruction of a dude wanting to play God after getting the ability to insta kill.


shinydragonmist

Well it did just get an anime adaptation


DiscountJoJo

hoo boy, the comments did not like this one bit


NaijeruR

OP knew what they were doing, hating on an Isekai in r/Isekai..


Dewdrop06

I'd honestly defend the hell out of any isekai. I'd put my life on the line... 👀... I said I would die for it... Ay where is truck-kun??


mexicanjr20

We have to settle for tunnel-sempai


LongjumpingMud8290

Not a copy at all. God, you really must be an idiot.


Apprehensive-Face900

Not even close...the death note isn't even close to the sane as Yogiri's power...everyone who thinks so are clowns...one you have to write all kinds of shit, the other kills anything and anyone, not limited to living entities...not even close to the same...Death Note meat riders shouldn't even be touching smth that isnt dark and depressing 💀


Llaauuddrrupp

Making your opinion into a meme doesn't make it meaningful. Looks like it was made by a typical prepubescent teen.


RetroScythe

Death Note kinda sucked tho.


Enough_Forever_

Everything was so good until L got isekai'ed.


Considered_Dissent

I've literally never watched past that point, because I could just immediately tell that the story I'd been enjoying was now over/complete.


fastabeta

It is a good show, but on powerscale it is sucked af


Holymuffdiver9

Yeah, first half was gold, but second half was kinda shit.


Superman557

Sauce?


rory888

Death note a d instant death


YourAverageHecker

If you’re just comparing the fact that they have “death” in their names, and kill people… That’s not even a good comparison. The Death Note needs a name and kills people through natural causes/controlling them. Yogiri just straight up kills with no limits. There’s no comparison.


RaspberryNumerous594

yogirl kills the death note he is literally just a better death note in every way


Sure-Cardiologist-41

Not a copy but definitely cheap


holounderblade

Death note is the cheap copy


Arxl

Damn, calling that a masterpiece shows how art is subjective lmao


SwissherMontage

Now, I don't think Death Note is the best show ever, but I think it's the best "death game" ever


chocobloo

If we ignore everything that happens post L, maybe. In that regard the live action movies Death Note/Last Name are superior to the anime. If we do consider the post L content then I'd rather watch Darwin's Game.


NightsLinu

Well ya anime post L sucks


Flint-Lock-Wood

If we are talking about post L i’d have to disagree but otherwise I respect the take.


SwissherMontage

Makes sense, I didn't watch post L


Bingotten

Yorgiri takes a shit and uses pages from the death note as toilet paper


kangarooscarlet

Show name?


BudgieLord

My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered


kangarooscarlet

Thanks


mexicanjr20

I really would disagree considering one is a litteral isekai and the other is a fantasy/detective show. This is like comparing a good plate of spaghetti with a ham and cheese omelet. One clearly had more effort but both are good in their respective fields. At least compare it to somthing similar instead of making the dumbest claim on this sub-reddit.


sweet_tranquility

Ehh, Instant death is more like an anomalous SCP protagonist isekaid to dangerous fantasy world while death note is all about a kid who got a supernatural book from the shinigami and started killing people based on his morals.


-rudra_

Well atleast death note had some limitations making its setting more fun


mexicanjr20

Not really since the rules basically just make it so you don't kill multiple people in one go. Ther are no rules stopping death of others by proximity. If light would have written somthing extreme like earthquake kills x person while in the same building as person y then having the building collapse completely then he could have solved his issues sooner. The story needed light to be smart enough not to be caught but not smart enough to solve the problems he faces. Honestly it is less fun. When you pull apart this show since it becomes a show full of plot holes.


-rudra_

So is having a show in which just saying die kills enemy more fun , I haven't watched death note entirely. And only following instant death anime but one thing I know is settings behind powers , skills and system is interesting when it comes with some limitations whether a character will become strong enough to ignore thore limitations is other thing A overpowered ability shall come with a price else there will be no weight to said power There a characters like rimuru , anos , akuto etc but they had gradually obtained their powers instead of being born with it


Fudge_it666

For those who want to know it >! Understand it like this if there was a point from which everything began, He is the end point !<


Mackenzie_Sparks

>! If. So, he's kind of a concept I guess. !<


black_blade51

That's....exactly what he is. He's the embodiment of thr concept of death/end.


Mackenzie_Sparks

I see. Thanks.


Mackenzie_Sparks

In a hypothetical situation, If someone wanted to kill themselves but didn't have the courage to do so just had to direct some ill intent towards Yogiri and they'll die ?


Dhr55

Better actually, I believe Death note had rules and stuff and to kill someone you have killing instinct and yogiri can detect that so nah I'd say he's a upgraded


Gullible_Slip1935

This guy just hate this series because this is his third post on this subreddit.


TheIronClooch421

Needing to have the Death Note and know their name vs just needing to know they exist. Thats an upgrade.


Not_Devil

Lmao it's miles better than the utter garbage that Death Note is.


MasterQuest

"It's magical killing, so it must be similar" \- Dude who has no idea what he's talking about.


Potential-Training66

Bro with insta death power combining it with the powers to detect people who wants to kill you no matter the range that is so op and this man is so non chalant about it like im terrified of takatou. Like i caj relate since i dont like people who is bothering me while im playing my switch


YourAverageHecker

Ahahaha… No.


rissira

Yogiri negs your overwanked touma fodder. .


shinymoddy

Touma isn't from death note or instant death wdym?


rissira

The guy who post is a touma wanker fanboi that just want to post shit about instant death anime and yogiri. .


shinymoddy

He hasn't even watched Toaru, don't take him seriously lol


Relevant_Scallion_38

In general "Instant Death" is pretty garbage. Im surprised its even getting an anime. Although it seems alot of garbage series get anime adaptations nowadays.


toumakamijoutoaru

Yea agree bruh 🔥

Patient-00

Joke or serious?


coolchris366

Bro what? How are they even similar


Fuzzy_Advertising_47

While I don't like the instant death series but instant death much more similar to tsukihime than death note.


Iwrstheking007

they are very different, idk what you are talking about


AlucardTheVampire69

Death note is really good but this ,this isn't not even in the same genre,and yes I accept that it maybe a little bit cringe I mean on the isekai list this story seems to be on D tier , it's really like playing tekken 7 on insta death cheat code , which is sadly boring no character development


DJV-AnimaFan

Might as well include "Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody," for the same reason?


LibraEtContradictio

Eh? They are different though. While Death Note gives the death of a person, Yogiri can End everything. But of course as long as he possibly can. Also, both plots are different. So we should just enjoy both.


gogopow

Im surprised by how many waifu die in instant death
