Light is trying to get rid of Near by using his supporters to ambush his hideout and his location seems to be leaked by the United States president but Light still fails to get what he wants as the SPK throws out many, many money (L’s inheritance) off the building and disguise [...]

Hahaha, nico video is crazy. Made me want to see how the Deathnote anime finishes. Well, the Deathnote ending is bad altogether… Raito shoulda won. L shouldn’t have died. woulda made things much cooler.

Rating: 9.6/10 Impressions: Everything has risen to the extremes. Mello’s partner (or subordinate) Matt, as well as Takada, both die tragically. I would feel sorry for both of them, except that Matt hasn’t had enough appearances while Takada always pissed me off in the past. I guess her blind faith in Light also made her partly [...]

Woah, the world’s most powerful country is announcing that they will acknowledge Kira and will not oppose him. Well, it’s a good news for Light but things just getting started as Mello went to meet Near and provides him with some interesting information; the truth about the Death Note and Shinigami. Thanks [...]

Here’s a spoiler for their panel today….

Death Note is a "... poison, creating wicked hearts", said the concerned prudes at Chinese schools after some 'corrupted' kids were discovered to be using their home-made murder pages to curse fellow students. This was back in 2005; the first time I'd heard of the now famous Death Note. Since then, I've always been interested in the franchise (anything with the power to blacken young hearts must be worth something), and last night, mu..

Death Note is certainly one of those series that was considerably longer than it should have been, even with the changes from the manga to improve the pacing and focus; the series started off with a bang and then continued on unmagnificently, with the occasional high-point and low-point. In a way, it felt like a [...]

The final episode of Death Note covers manga chapters 103 -108. This episode of Death Note pretty much follows chapters 103 – 106 perfectly, but chapters 107 – 108 have been re written for any original ending. The only thing that I could pick up from the source material, that wasn’t include in this episode [...]

This episode of Death Note covers chapters 100 – 102, and what an episode this was. I felt that this episode of Death Note was very good because 2 or 3 chapters worthy of material was used, instead of about 4 chapters worth, from other Death Note episodes. As this episode is final show down [...]

And so we’ve come to the end of Death Note. I’m going to post a bit of random sentences in order to avoid some major spoilers from showing up in the blog-aggregators, in order to avoid me spoiling people. I can’t imagine that there’d be souls alive that weren’t spoiled somehow about how this anime [...]

Made with screen shots from episode 37. That is sufficient warning. The original strip is this one: …which was a quality version of this one: …which might have been based on this one:

Well, that was a little bit disappointing. For some reason the animators felt that they must diverge a little bit from the manga ending. I just think the manga ending is a perfect fit and ties in with a lot of the early plot threads from the series. However, the ending in this version basically watered down that strong ending right down to a very powerful and creepy epilogue. Instead of showing those, the writers decided to show montage of the characters running around the wharf. Oh well, whether I like it or not, this is the ending. Overall the adaptation was okay but could have been better. I think the unnecessary meddling of the anime writers actually made the series a lot worse than it should have been.

Manly tears or MANLIEST tears? NOT AS PLANNED! Why must you toy with us Madhouse? On one hand I’m really disappointed that they didn’t animate swimming lessons and opted to give Light a rather pitiable death. But I have to admit, it worked. I lost the impression that Light was a figure of justice a long time [...]

Finally, the end is here. I had a hard time reading it since I was working at the same time, lol. Everyone was bugging me. It just so happens that I was reading during a very busy hour. I was so shocked once I finished; Light is dead! >_< Oh my god, my sexy Light has [...]

What a fantastic episode. It's been a while since I feel genuinely excited with this series but this is exactly how I felt when I read the last volume of the manga. It's unfortunate that the series were prolonged more than necessary because I think it would have more bite if this confrontation happened a lot earlier. I supposed the author wanted to show how Kira's terror eventually takes over the world. To a certain extent, the series did that. However, I don't think it was thorough. We saw how extreme some people could be in their Kira worship. However, it's not know if they are just a group of extreme individuals or if the rest of the world also joined in the madness. I think it would have been good if they show the reaction of some other people. Oh well, next week is the finale. If you don't know the ending, place your bet on who's going to win. If you know the ending, put your knowledge in spoiler tag please.

DISCLAIMER: Not meant to be serious, accurate, or political at all. Just having a little fun. :P  So a couple of days ago, I was watching The Daily Show, where Jon Stewart made a comment that piqued my interest. It was something minor and laughed about, but it focused a little bit on what led to [...]

GOD DAMMIT!! That’s got to be the worst cliff-hanger EVER! How can the creators expect me to wait for an ENTIRE WEEK FOR THE NEXT EPISODE?!?! Agh, this is going to be a short entry, because I refuse to spoil what happens, but let me tell you this: THIS QUITE POSSIBLY WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF DEATH [...]

I'm sorry for the late entry as usual. I will also have to postpone writing about Darker than Black and Nodame Cantabile until Monday because my proposal is due in two days. After that, I hope I will have more time to resume my normal blogging. Anyway, with only two more episodes left, next week should be both exciting and confusing because Light and Near will finally have their confrontation. As for this episode, up to this day, I still don't fully understand Mello's full role in capturing Kira. I mean I understand that Mello's action inadvertently causes a flaw in Light's plan. However, I think it's rather hard to believe that Mello could predict what both Light and Mikami would do if something prevents Kiyomi from writing the name in the notebook.
