Death Note


Took down Death Note as my favourites... I wasn't really feeling much of anything for it except for suspense. I mean, sure it's a nice mystery graphic novel and all, but apart from that pretty much nothing. I hated the way everything ended near the end. Everything seems to "fall into place" for Light, or rather, for Near, but actually it's all a bunch of amazing coincidences that their train of thought actually managed to get them that far. 'Cause their logic doesn't make much sense and mostly likely fails if placed in any other context. It's pretty Poisson, really.

I do like the front parts of the manga though, all the way to when Light had to deal with Second Kira. There was great suspense. It was like 四面楚歌 or sumpthing. Then... it was slightly like ... blergh, what a drag, but i really wanna know how L died and what happens to the Shinigamis.

If I had 2 more extra hours of free time per day, I might actually consider watching the Death Note anime. I'd stopped watching when Light joined forces with L to find the new Kira [Higuichi, was it?]. Certainly, DN anime is an all together experience from the manga, of which BGM totally plays a part in the whole "mystery" mood.
