The Eyes of Kira Are upon You

Jun 20, 2008 21:33

During my tour of anime, I came across this awesome-sounding anime called Death Note. Doesn't it sound awesome already? Right? Anyway, I was told by multiple sources that the manga was superior, so I decided to give it a shot. I'd never read manga before. sistakaren showed me that I could read it all online, but, to my surprise, the Oakland Public Library ( Read more... )

I am starting Death Note this weekend. Maybe I will have it done by the time I see you on Sunday.

You should! It reads fast, like I said. You really need to read the first volume so we can talk about it tomorrow!

Tomorrow? Do you mean Sunday? I am busy tomorrow.

spectralbovine June 21 2008, 03:19:59 UTC

Tomorrow, Sunday, whatever! You can read it by the time we see each other, for sure.

Smack my hand now! [/Anya]

SO chuffed that you got sucked in! Yay!

Ha, what a great icon! Ryuk, Light, and L, all together!

The first volume, I mean. I won't have the entire series done by Sunday. :)

I've got the dvd queued up on Netflix, but probably won't do the manga. My library probably woudln't carry it anyways. I heard quite a bit about, but not that Light wasn't totally pure about his motives. That kicks it up a notch.

Yeah, it makes it so that essentially, he's the villain of the series despite being the protagonist. Like you, I only had an inkling about the fact that he was using the notebook to kill evil people, so I wasn't expecting the whole "I will be GOD!" declaration. As you read, you have the conflicting urges of wanting him to be caught because he seriously needs to go down before shit gets out of hand and not wanting him to be caught because then the story would be over. It does have that in common with Dexter, although Dexter is much more likable. Light is kind of an ass (and Ryuk knows it and makes comments about it, which is amusing).

I hope you enjoy it!

ALso, I hope your icon is not a giant space penis.
