Also what is it about detective series that makes people such jerks when they are talking behind a future murderer's back?
Uh... you're sure the causal link doesn't go the other way?

What makes future murderers seemingly there when people just so happen to be talking like jerks?

I have to admit it is pretty true. Though how many people talk like "I am so glad that person is dead, I hated him!"?

I kinda hate like 99% of anime, but I really, really love the 1% that I don't hate or am indifferent about. And they're nearly all weird psychological series that never last more than 26 episodes. Because in an artform where most of the characters and settings are just recycled shit, anything that's genuinely got original thought and feeling put into it is a winner in my book. That said, this is how I'd rank the anime/manga that I've seen/watched.

HATE HATE HATE HATE:
Bleach
Naruto
One Piece
...Pretty much anything you can find in Shonen Jump magazine.

MEH:
Death Note
Gurren Lagann
Akira(movie)
HunterXHunter
Mobile Suit Gundam

LIKE:
Akira(Manga)
Samurai Champloo
Planetes

HOLY SHIT AWESOME:
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Ergo Proxy
Cowboy Bebop

FAVORITE SHOW EVER:
Serial Experiments Lain

I like anime because the majority of it has plot and a lot of it actually tries to build an overall story.

I am really tired of episodic junk. That is all you get unless you want confusing non-sense stupid storylines.

If you thought Death Note was too shonen you should check out Liar Game.  It has a lot of the same elements, but it's more seinen.

Isn't it manga only yet? MAL does not find any adaptation.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

It's originally a manga with a live-action adaption.  I've only read the manga, which is 138 chapters currently.

But... the TVTropes said... now I'm even more confused!

FLCL must be watched many times to fully absorb the awesome and to make any sense of it whatsoever. I really need to rewatch it again, it's been ages.

Well... the detective is only called in when a murder actually happens, right?  Or sometimes I guess it's the special pheremones they give off that encourage people in the house they're staying in to murder.

And I guess victims are often total jerks for the same reason.
