Seriously though it just seems to me I prefer the "what the hell just happened" anime that makes no sense, eh
Death Note has plenty of that. If anything because the mental battles between the character basically resolve around:
"Ha! I do this!
"Oh, but I knew that you'd do that, so I do this!"
"Oh yeah? Well I saw that coming, so I shall do this!"
And on, and on, and on. It is refreshing to see mental battles instead of phisical battles, but dear lord, do they drag it for as long as they can. The manga sometimes has more text than drawings.
