        The complete lack of punctuation really sells the breathless ranting style though

          Agreed. It really supports the rantiness of the text. Also the answer is given in the first two words. All good so far.

          Clarification: I don’t say that he has to use punctuation. That’s completely up to Phuntis. It’s just hard for me to understand the text. That is the thing I wanted to state instead of just downvoting (which explains nothing). Phuntis made clear that he doesn’t want to. That’s fine.

              Anytime you’d breathe when speaking, put a .

              It’s not 100% correct but it’s better than what you’re doing and easy to implement.

              Would it be some type of dyslexia? Do you have issues recognizing the relation between punctuation and the rhythm of speech?

                no I just don’t speak the same as others people tell me that where you breathe nonsense but one what’s a breath and what’s a half breath and two I don’t always breathe when I should I just keep talking until I lose breath and get high pitched I just gave up years ago and most people don’t care I just get 1 person every few months that has to come along and insist on punctuation and pretend it can’t be read even though it’s perfectly legible

                  I have the perfect mental image of this guy spouting these intensely opinionated run on sentences until he starts to run out of breath, and his face starts to redden and his voice starts getting higher and higher like a cartoon chipmunk about to burst… and just when I’m about to ask him if he’s okay he pauses to take this ENORMOUS RASPING BREATH 🤣

                    no I don’t I just know that I can read it when others do the same punctuation is pointless and shouldn’t exist and the only thing it contributes to the world is misery through children being told off by teachers when they’re trying their best and are already struggling to do the damn literacy lesson cause they want you to write two pages of inane nonsense when all you have is like half a paragraph then even if you did what they ask they moan at you for oh needs commas and full stops I hate punctuation

      But Death Note wasn’t good, it’s genuinely bad.

      People only think its good because it was their gateway anime.

      The whole show is an edgy intellectual-power fantasy, where characters play games of mental rock-paper-scissors during a tennis match.

        I won’t pretend it’s the greatest thing ever and yeah it has moments it’s bad and it’s absolutely edgy but it’s still good it’s not genuinely bad it’s enjoyable not perfect but fun and enjoyable no moment of platinum end is even enjoyable it’s just edge and very poorly written characters that don’t even interact interestingly there’s no redeeming element

          Being better than Platinum End is a very low bar to pass.

          The best part about Death Note was the concept in of itself. Though, if you take time to unpack the many (often unnecessary and/or contradictory) rules of the book, you might begin to notice how contrived it all is.

          The story wants to be this grandiose game of cat and mouse, but can’t keep its finger out of its ass. The show didnt know where to go without L, so they made “new L - now with melatonin”.

          The Kira and L are portrayed as tactical geniuses, but if you take any time to actually map out their motives and actions, you’ll once again, notice how contrived they are.

          I feel bad for the Mangaka, the deadlines imposed by the industry are super tight and I’m sure it had an impact on his ability to write to the best of his ability.

            yeah it’s contrived I’m not pretending it’s some master work the tennis scene is probably peak stupidity but it was still enjoyable except yeah after L but you know there’s a reason everyone pretends the show ended after episode 25
