An ingenious concept for a crazy, disturbing tour de force mangaing to be appealing to close to all audiences of horror, dark fantasy, mystery, crime, philosophy, and humor together
Who created it?
That nobody knows who Tsugumi Ohba really is is freaking funny and adds an extra bonus to the mystery of and cult around the series. For an average series, this might be no real big selling and advertising argument, but because of how big and brilliant this thing is, it adds an extra arcane bonus level.
What is right and what is wrong?
Ok, it might be a bit of an overreaction to kill people, but maybe they would have someday killed (others) themselves, so it´s maybe some kind of good preemptive policing and self justice that´s perfectly fine? Probationers would have no work anymore and who cares about the differentiation of how high the reoffending rate really is for each case and crime. But seriously, the big ethical, moral question behind this is
How someone would use that power for which kind of justice.
Imagine being able to not just kill murderers and monsters, but everyone. Let's say people at work who could get the promotion, friends, partners, family members, maybe even kids. So with great power comes great responsibility and the
Protagonists are used to make the reader think about justice
Because they have completely different opinions and worldviews, their argumentation which criminal is to kill for what makes it a roller coaster ride and ethics class example fun with the reader permanently being mindblown. Because obvious cases change, new evidence occurs, something completely changes the state of evidence, and one is confused about what is right and wrong anyway.
This series doesn´t grow too big because it was built to perfectly end
I still haven´t read just close to all of it, thank and hail Ryuk and the flying spaghetti monster for that, but I assume that trying to put all in just a few parts increases the quality, and avoids a great series crashing to redundancy and at best average quality, by growing to inappropriate length.
I don´t know the anime and movie, but possibly many readers will get extra kicks out of it.
What the ratings are saying, the anime is a pretty good bet, while the movie seems to be some kind of fandom war territory. One of these cases where it´s impossible to say if the movie sucks and if they ruined a perfect series, or if it was just impossible to live up to the expectations of the fandom.
Oustanding for the manga and anime genre
It´s pretty disturbing, sick, and absolutely not what many associate with the stereotypical manga and anime features, some find a bit too extremely sweet and thereby annoying. That it´s dealing with some pretty deep topics and has both great art and writing makes it one of the most popular milestones of not just manga, but also graphic novel history.
Try Full Metal Alchemist and Battle Royale too if you like that kind of stuff.
