Teen Titans

So, I was going through an old TT fanfic of mine from a terribly long time ago, and it made me thinkk about that show. Plus the fact that the episode when Cy infiltrates the Brotherhood was on TV the other day ;D

So, I was just thinking about it and felt like making a blog about it....Yeahh, I get bored and do these things xD Anyways, let's get on with this, shall we?

ROBiN ;; This was probably the first time I fell in love with Robin. I never really liked him in Batman ;; The Animated Series for some reason... But anyways, Rob in Teen Titans was so dang awesome. The leader who knows he's cool. My favorite episode for him was the one concerning his little suitcase and how all the bad guys go after it with the race and all? That was HiLARiOUS and I SERiOUSLY wanted to know what was in that dang bag that was so dang important to him :P Maybe it was baby pictures...xP Anyways. Rob and Starfire were the cutest couple in the entire show. No, scratch that. SECOND cutest. Sorry, but I am still a gigantanormous advocate of Kid Flash and Jinx ;) So, anyways, back to Robin. He was so strong and cool and collected. He knew how to lead that team. And he was so dang kind and compassionate. Totally took after Batman. He was amazing. <3

STARFiRE ;; Starfire was my favorite at the very beginning of the show. I don't know what it was about her alien-innocence [though she wasn't very innocent in that first episode :P] that got me to fall in love with her. After her my favorite became Raven, then Terra, and finally Bumble Bee. I was never consistent. But, Starfire will always remain that awesome Tamaranian in my heart. I love how much she cared about her fellow teammates, as well as anyone she met along the way. She simply wanted to help EVERYONE, no matter what the cost to herself. And I loved how she used to cook all that gunky Tamaranian junkk xD Her and Robbie were the cutest. I seriously felt my heart ache for her in the episode when her sister, Blackfire, comes to Earth. I mean, not only was your sister, who you love dearly, trying to frame you for her own crime, but she ALSO tried to steal your boyfriend? I felt so bad for Starfire because it was so difficult for her to see Blackfire was actually playing her and didn't even are about her little sister. 

RAVEN ;; Raven probably remained my favorite for the longest amount of time. I loved her power, and I loved her secrecy. I fell in love with her when her father came back because how can you not fall in love with a character who's been hiding the fact that she's going to be the cause of the end of the world form her best friends? And the beginning of those episodes, when she tries to make breakfastt and do all those nice things for them? That was the sweetest thing in the entire world. And when BB gives her the penny for god luckk and she actually holds onto it until the very end? That was so CUTE. She and BB woulda been so adorable as a couple. Raven was so strong for wanting to as much as she could before the time came for what she knew she was created to do. And the episode with the book spirit that tricks her into letting him go? I felt so bad for her because she thought she had finally found someone who she could trust and who understood her completely. And he was playing her the entire time. </3 And the fear episode? I absolutely LOVED that one. The fact that Ray had to ADMiT that she was scared before it would all go away? I absolutely ADORED that. Plus the fact that Rabbie figured it out right away ;) Raven's character was truly amazing and greatly developed. She was amazing, even if she was the silent brooding type ;D

CYBORG ;; Okay, anyone who didn't fall in love with Cy was just iNSANE. I LOVED this guy! He was so hilarious! He and BB made up the entire show's comic relief on their own :P I loved his relationship with BB. Those two were so dang hilarious, with their video games and pizza and all. And Cy's serious side was just as lovable as his chillaxed one. When he infiltrates the Brotherhood with his machine that makes him look human? Just seeing how much he wanted that was just so shweet. I felt so bad for him that he could REALLY go back to that. Cyborg was so cool with inventing everything and just general hilariousness. He was an amazing character. I loved the episode when he went to the past. He was so cool in there with the girl and being human and all. That was shya-mazing. And awesome. Anyways, I don't think I have anything else to say about him so let's move on :P

BEAST BOY ;; It's difficult not to like BB because there simply isn't anything not to like. He was adorable, and there was only one time when he was ever actually serious about anything. And that was at the very end when trying to find Terra. He and Terra were the CUTEST. I fell in love with them right from the start. I felt so bad for him while she was with Slade. And then she she sacrificed herself for them. And then she comes back again. And still they can't be together the way they once were. That relationship was just so strained and tragic. Beast Boy was the main comic relief, and I loved that about him. But he still always wanted to see his friends happy. He was always trying to get Raven to laugh with his jokes. And the few times he actually succeeded were so dang cute <3 I used to think they'd be a cute couple. But then where would Terra be? Haha. The episode when Beast Boy becomes that monster and saves Raven from the other monster and everyone thinks he hurt her? That was so cute because he had actually been trying to save her and all...<3

BUMBLE BEE ;; Yeahh, she was the last I fell in love with. And with good reason. A good spy, and a great leader. Her character was shya-mazing. She was so cool and calm and collected. I loved her when we first met her as a Brtherhood goonie, and I always felt as though there shoulda been more to her character than her bring evil. And so when it turned out she was actually SUPER good and actually a SPY, I was like 'GO BEE.' Haha, that was the best moment ever. Realzing she was GOOD. And the way she and Cy work together to bring down Brother Blood? That was awesome. Though, I felt he shoulda been more taken down by her than by Cy since Cy had just met him while Bee had been working so hard to become the best student and tricking him for so long. Cy was discovered as soon as he got there. Be was there for much longer and subject to so much worse since he used mind control on her. Anyways. Then Cy named her leader of Titans East and I was like YEAHH. She was a really good leader, kept those boys in order. She was awesome and always so happy and glad to help (:

AQUALAD ;; I loved how Starfire and Raven had both fallen in love with him when he was first introduced :P I mean, have you ever seen Raven get heart eyes for anyone? She never has anything but those deep dark eyes. Haha, anyone who can make her go gaga for them must be truly amazing, right? And he sure was. Aqualad was so cool, even if he had one of the smaller roles :P He was so cool when he came to tell them his ocean was in trouble. And then when he became a part of Titans East. He was cool under Bee. He annd Speedy were cute buddies. Aqua-people are always so dang cool with their fish and water powers. Haha, sorry, just had to mention that ;)

SPEEDY ;; Speedy...Hmm. He was pretty cool, wasn't he? I remember the episode with that meta-human brawl thing where the MonkeyMan wanted to take powers from everyone? Speedy was really cool in that episode. Haha. Speedy was a greatt part of the Titans East. Archery always gets me for some reason. i find it to be such an amazing characteristic in the superheroes who do it ;) I prefer Spee-err, Red Arrow in Young Justice to any depiction of Speedy though. Haha. OH, and Speedy's little appearance in that one Justice League Unlimited episode? That was HiLARiOUS xP Him and Green Arrow are probably my favorite mentor//apprentice-sidekick team [other than Batman and Robin] in the world. Not because they work well together, we all know they doo, but because of how dang HiLARiOUS they are together. They need each other to do their best, yet they are always insulting each other :P

MAS Y MENOS ;; Haha, these two were so dang FUNNY. They were such a cute little brother//brother duo. I loved the fact that their power only worked if they were holding hands. That was a major weakness, but at the same time it made them all the more cuter. You could never find one without the other. And they had the same ideas about everything. Like when they both fell in love with Starfire and tried to outdo each other by bringing her better things? That was so dang adorable. Haha. They were o cute. And the one episode when, I forget who, gets them apart so they can't use their powers? Still so dang KE-UUTE. Adorability at it's finest ;)

TERRA ;; I loved Terra from the moment she joined the Titans. I never thought she could turn on them, and I never thought she'd be as important as she turned out to be. I thought she'd be just another side character. Just another reserve Titan. But she was soo much more. I loved the way she earned Raven's trust. I loved the way Starfire fell in love with her straight away. The way Cy and Rob liked her. And the way BB found his one true love. I mean, can you imagine someone who could BB to leave any other girl in the world for her? The way he chases after her at her school in the last episode? That was so sad. It reminded me of what happened to Rose in American Dragon :: Jake Long. Girl turns evil but is still good and then loses her memories? And the whole school scene was so weird though. I never entirely understood that part :P Though, it was still cool. And Terra was amazing. She was so innocent seeming and cute. You just wanted to help her out. 

KiD FLASH && JiNX ;; THE CUTEST COUPLE. I love them. The way they fell in love. The way KF kept going after her. The way she gave up her idol for him. The way they show up in that very last battle together and Jinx's old group is there and staring at her like she's crazy. Everything about their relationship made my heart melt and got me to fall in love with them. I always liked Jinx because I thought she cute and had a cool power. I never thought she'd end up being GOOD in the end, though. And I certainly did not foresee her getting with KF. Haha, love them <3

With the reserve members and everyone together, there were so many Titans, and it was SO awesome when they all fought together at the very end. That last fight against the Brain and his goonies was probably one of my all time favorite scenes. I adored that epic battle. 

This was one of my all time favorite shows growing up and I could probably watch these episodes over and over again ;) Great characters, amazing story, wonderful combination.

Young Justice {{Miss Martian}}

I actually didn't like M'gann at first. I thought she was annoying and an unnecessary character. But, over time she's grown on me :P

Now I can't imagine an episode without her. And I find her and Conner being together to actually be rather adorable (: I find their relationship to be that cute superhero one. Though, starting the Mount Justice scene with them kissingin Homefront? A tad bit too much, don't ya thinkk? I mean, I love them, but seriously?

And her relationship with Kaldur is so cute. It's like the little sister//big brother relationship and I love that.
And I love her "Hello Megan" thing eve though I found it to be the most annoying part of the whole show in the beginning :P Yeahh, she's definitely rubbing off on me ;D

I also adore how Kid Flash is STiLL going after her even though she and Conner are pretty official. In fact, they were kissing with KF in the same room :P But, like how in Alpha Male KF runs to save her from the gorilla man? I thought that was cute.

I don't know how I feel about KF getting with Artemis instead, but I can see it happening.

Anyways, M'gann is cute. Lovable.

Young Justice {{Kaldur'ahm}}

So, this post is dedicated to Aqualad of Young Justice. He is such a truly amazing leader for the team. He cares about everyone, knows who is best at what and where to place them. And he knows how to handle them. Even though the entire team got made at him in Alpha male for not telling them he knew about there being a mole on the team, like Robin said, it's totally understandable. Since he wasn't entirely sure and the information didn't even come from a relaiable source, OF COURSE he wasn't about to place his team in such a contentious positon where everyone is suspecting everyone else. Though, as a side note, I totally thought Artemis was going to be the mole. I was so onehundred percent certain that when Red Tornado dissapeared I totally didn't even believe it. But, I digress from the top of Aqualad :P

He handles every situation so wonderfully. And when he has homesickness an wants to be with Tula, I truly felt so bad for him. He goes back to tell her he's going to leave Young Justice for her just to find she's now dating his best friend, Garth. But it made him stronger and see sense in how he needed to be full tim on the topic of Young Justice and needed to stop thinking about Tula and Atlantis and all.

Okay, and then in the Red Arrow//Cheshire episode when Red Arrow turns to Aqualad in the end? I thought that was amazing. OF COURSE it was kaldur who he turns to. Kaldur is the one you can trust to not tell anyone you needed help, but also trust to actually show up to give you help.
And his eel tatoos? I think those are just the coolest things in the world ;)
They make him look so dang cute ;D
Anyways, yeah, cool guys. Totally amazing. Great friend, always there.
Love this guyy.
And this is a really short post, isn't it?
Oh well, I'm bored now and have school tomorrow...So, fare thee well.

Night Raid 1931

So, I started watching this over the weekend and finished it in two days, which made me quite proud, despite the fact that there are only sixteen episodes :P

I thought it was really good, and was able to keep my attention through all the episodes (excpet for that one filler episode where it was all history and the Sakurai team wasn't even mentioned xP)

The character developement I thought was at times rather confusing because there would be sudden flashbacks and Yukina's were often terribly confusing [like the episode with the opium den? I was confused crazy in that one].

But the unorganization made it even more powerful. I loved moving back and forth, even if I was left confused more often than I would have liked :P

I thought the characters were really strong. Even though it was a short series, the character developement was pretty awesome. Seeng their pasts and how those pasts tied in with the present was really amazing.

Take Aoi for example. Would have ever guessed that someone as important as the Prophtess could actually have been the violin playing dead girlfriend you get flashbacks of? I never would have thought she was alive and would come into the storyline with such a strong role. I really fell in love with Aoi. He was so strong and confident and optimistic. He was that amazing friend you wish you had, or that wonderful older brother.And he was a cutie. I loved him <3 And his power was shya-mazing. Even though it was simple telekinesis, he made it look way better than Jean Grey ever did ;) And the time thing, though it confundled me at first, was actually really cool. And Aoi was totally on top of it. Always ready to use his power, yet always knowing how much he could use and still have enough left over when he really needed it. Like the first fight with Kuse when he places the bombs in the department stores? At the end when Yukina drops the pen and Aoi actually did have some time left? That made him so cool because he completely owned Kuse at his own game.

And then there was Kazura. I COMPLETELY fell for him. His idealistic view of how the world should be and how he HAD to be the one to fix everything? It rather reminded me of my anime hubbie, Suzaku Kururugi. I couldn't hep falling in love with him ;] Even though he did make mistakes [like, for example, being FOOLED by Isao] in the end he was still part of the team and realzied they were the ones who cared about him and who he cared about. Isao wans't ever cool enough for Kazura anyways. Another thing I love about kazura was the way he wouldn't use his powers because he never wanted to feel superior to his oppnents and though that a battle won with his power was not a fair and just fight. I loved that sense of justice and fairness and all about him. Just kept reminding me of Suzaku. And I mean, Suzaku also went over to the bad side thinking it was the right path, right? So I saw nothing wrong with Kazura being momentarily tricked into going to the wrong side. He came back in theend, so what does it matter?

Let's see, let's look at Natsume next. Natsume was that big kind and awesome guy every show needs. He was nice and caring and like a father to the team. He was the big brother Yukina needed and the assurance of friendship Kazura and Aoi needed. He was always there and probably often taken for granted. Not until his death did you realize just how important he was to the team in manner of his powers, as well as his presence. When he gives Kazura the notebook during the fire it shows Kazura not only that he needed to stop thinking about the past but also that Natsume was the one who cared enough to keep the notebook, not Isao, and definitely not Sakurai. And Natsume's power and how he loves the new moon nights because his power doesn't work? That was adorable. Though, I couldn't help noticing that it was the ngiht of the new moon in just about every single episode :P And then Natsume's past with his little sister? And when Yukina goes back to see his family in the epilogue? That was sooo shweet! I could totally see them as being Natsume's family, with him being that wonder son and that amazing and kind-hearted older brother.

And last for the team we have Yukina. She was kind and nice and all. And her power was so totally cool. Reading minds is lways pretty awesome. Though, I never really understoo the thing with the flowers. Did the flowers help her or what? That never did quite make sense and it was never explained, so I sat there quite confused and just went with it :P I thouht it was so sad how she had gone all that way to find her brother only find he was to be their main enemy and was to cause them so much grief. But in the end she did get through to him and he shielded her from sakurai's bullet, which was ADORABLE. He made up all his wrongs in that one move because in the end he died with honor, shielding his little sister. Yukina was the only girl on the team and that made her all the stronger. Being that strong-minded woman in the middle of all the men had to be difficult, but she kept her mind straight, ignored Aoi's flirtatious remarks and was even able to lead the team since she was the one speaking in their heads.

Isao Takachiho. Now, this guy was rather interesting. You think he's just going to be a side characte as Yukina's older brother. But he turns out to be the main antagonist, and the sole reason the team was created by sakurai in the first place. And Isao has that youthful rebellious nature that makes you think he's right and that you should follow. Little did people like Kuse know, he really just wanted to kill a bunch of people so no one else could. I never saw the logic behind that, Let's destroy Shanghai to stop anyone else from using the bomb. Whatever, dude. You just wanted to kill everyone, so just say that :P And then the thing with him kidnapping Aoi and Kazura? Like, dude, leave the team alone, they hate you [even if Kazura did fall for it...]. And he also appraoched Yukina, so it serves the question, why did he never both with Natsume? Was it because natsume was with his sister nd he wanted him there? Was it because Natsume used to be their servant or whatever and Isao didn't see him as worthy of his cause or something? Whatever the reason, Natsume was safe from Isao :P I thought it rather dissapointing that Isao didn't get any last words. His death was like a second. What nonsense?? Main dude dies and he doesn't even get to say good-bye to his little sister?

Okay, so then we have Sakurai, who seems to end up being the REAL bad guy. Not only did he make the team to find Isao, but once Isao was found, he just turned on them. I mean, the reason for the team was to emply them to Isao, right? So why just leave them hanging and go join up with Isao yourself? And why build Isao up as the enemy when the real intention was to join him the whole time? Sakurai never made sense to me. I never liked him from the beginning, and in the end he just disgusted me. He reminded me a bit of the Gold Toothed Doctor from FMA :: Brotherhood, you know? At the end where he looks all crazy with his gun? Yeah, the guy was a nutcase and I was so glad Ichishi erased his memories.

Which brings us to Ichishi. This guys had maybe five words in the entire show and they were all in the very last episode :P Ichishi was simply too cool for everyone. I mean, could Sakurai have guessed that his assisstant wasn't even actually on his side? And did Kazura and Aoi know Ichishi was always watching them, as shown in the cat episode? He was just way too cool for everyone. He was on his own level. And he did everything so silently, without need to be told or of thanks. Like when he wiped the little girl's memory of her time with Aoi? And Shizune's entire memory? He's just there to help, never to be thanked. Ooh, he was just way too cool. I liked him from the beginning ;]

The epilogue I thought was rather disspointing because Aoi, Kazura, and Yukina have that bonding moment in the zoo and then Kazura and Aoi both head off and Yukina is left alone again. I feel so bad for her because she spends so much time looking for the two of them and when she finally finds them, they're both like, nahh, we don't actually care about you. And plus, I had alays wanted Yukina and Aoi tog et together, so Shuizune being there, with her memory wiped [so she wans't even cool anymore] was toally bonkers to me. And the thing with Aoi? How he gets away from the plane crash BEFORE Kazura gets there, andyet was way too injured to even leave China for MONTHS. Like, what nonsense? Kazura so got to the plane crash before the meddling farmer did! They shoulda just had Aoi be there. The lame thing with him showing up six years later? And the six year thing was dumbb, in my opinion. I mean, why in this world does it take Yukina six crazy years to get to Natsume's family's home? OH, that reminds me, remember how when Yukina wsa leaving Natsume's home she sees the girls on the street and the one was the girl from the opium den? WHAT NONSENSE. Her dad finally gtes her out of there and now she's just going BACK? That bugged me to no end. Like, why could NO ONE have a happy ending in this show? The only person who got what they wanted was Aoi :P And I was glad for him, but I still thought he shoulda been with Yukina ;)

All in all, I thought it was a pretty darned good show. The idea was really good. I just wish there had been less history explanations and more Sakurai Team screen time. That woulda made the show a ton lot better.

But still, they did good and entertained my boring weekend, so I can only give it praise ;]

Death Note

So, I watched all 37 episodes in 3 days which goes to show a] how good the show is and b] how I use my freetime in the summer ;)

So, now I'm going to use more of my freetime to vent about this show ;]

So be ready. (:

Also, I'm probably going to frequently compare it to Code Geass and some other anime I've seen.

I like talking about characters rather than events, so I'll be going that way :D

CHiEF SOiCHiRO YAGAMi ;; [i also don't like starting with the most important characters] Father of the main character, Light Yagami. Chief headed the Kira investigation until the police dropped the investigation and he left them to join L's investigation. Chief was strong and stubborn. He was ready to give his life and career for the investigation, but he refused to believe his son could be the culprit. That was probably his downfall. But I can understand it. What father would want to know his own son is the monster he's hunting? But, I really liked him. He was strong and a good leader for Matsuda and the rest. When he had to give the notebook for Sayu, I was certain he'd do it without hesitation, being the perfect father and all. But he actually did have hesitation and then I thought he might choose his police role over his fathering one. But that wouldn have done any good, seeing as how Mello would simply have killed them both AND gotten the notebook. And then when Light and Misa are confined and Chief says he wants to be confined as well? That was simply adorable. And how he refused to leave until he was allowed to leave with his son... A true father, till the end... That is, the end when he gets to see that Light was never Kira. Even if it wasn't true, I was glad Soichiro got to at least have that much satisfaction in the end <3

SHUiCHi AiZAWA ;; I didn't really pay much attention to him until the moment he left the task force when the police took their hand out of the investigation. When he meets his family in the park, that was the cutest scene <3 And his hairstyle was my favorite part about him [other than his personality, of course] so I was dissapointed when he cut his hair... I liked how he was openly against L and how he always voiced his opinions, no matter what the consequences. And when he was leaving and Watari lets slip about the money he would have provided  for the families, even after knowing that, he wouldn't back off from the decision he had made. I was sad to see him go and was super happy when he came back. Him and Ide were pretty awesome, having the same thoguhts and all. He always brought them back on topic when they strayed...(: And I loved when he defied Near's orders. I was like, GO AiZAWA, you show him who's boss! :]

KANZO MAGi ;; He was pretty cool. I never even noticed he was part of the team until L had him tail Light :P But after that he became more prominent, even though he never spoke. He was so dedicated and 'efficient from the start' as L put it (: I loved when he was Misa's manager after Matsuda 'died' because he played the excited manager bit so great and hilariously xP I seriously loved this guy <3

TOUTA MATSUDA  ;; Yes, I saved the best for last from the task force. He was the BEST. Matsuda, I loved him from the moment in that first meeting when he talks to Chief. He was always a good comic relief. He was a darned epic person. He voiced his opinions, even when they were leaning towards Kira and he knew everyone would be mad at him for saying it, he still said it. And I like him for that. Even though he was sometimes a wimp and foolish, he was still brave and strong when it counted. I loved the Yotsuba incident. That was the BEST. Though, I have to admit, I seriously thought he was going to die and I was sad. But then he faked his own death and totally got away with it. I loved his drunk act, that was funny ;) And balancing on the balcony? THAAT took some courage, you have to admit. And I bet he loved getting to be 'Misa Misa''s manager. That musta been like heaven for him ;] Matsu was really cute and lovable. I thought it woulda been kinda cute if he and Sayu had gotten together (: I loved how he saw Light's relationships with Misa and Takada as a personal soap opera ;) And how he always knew what was going on on TV :D Him at the end was EPiC. He grew up in those last moments, pulled out a gun and didn't even hesitate to shoot Light. I loved how when Light called his father a fool, Matsu was the one to defend Soichiro. Sad that Matsu was a better son for Chief than Light could ever be, eh? But Matsu so deserved Chief as a father more than Light ever would.

WEDDY ;; Now, I know Weddy was a pretty small character and only there for a few episodes, but I totally loved her! She was so legit. She could break into any place, no matter how tight the security? You have to admit that's a pretty epic...ability ;] I thought she was really calm, cool, and sophisticated. She got those cameras in the Yotsuba meeting room and into Higuchi;s cars pretty easily. That was pretty awesome...


AiBER ;; Aiber and Weddy were cool as a team. I thought they would have been cute as a couple, but I didn't know Aiber had a family at that time. And I felt so bad for them! The little daughter walks into the room and he's ...dead. That was sad. He was really cool though, professional conman ;] I thought it pointless for Light to have killed them. Even if they were bad, they were too good for anyone to catch, they'd never actually been to prison so no one had ever known it was them...and I mean, Aiber had a family!! Plus, Light would never have gotten as far with L on the Yotsuba mess without the two of them!

WATARi ;; Watari, or Quillish Wammy, was the COOLEST. I loved how he was like...the Alfred character! Like, Batman's Alfred. Yeah... He was cool. Did I say that already? And the picture on the left? When he becomes a sniper while catching Higuchi? That was an epic scene ;)Watari's death was overshaodwed by L's, but it was still super sad. The way L is all "Watari?" because he knows something has gone wrong. And then Watari deletes everything and L is like, Oh dang. 'Cause he knows he's next. I love L <3 But, we're talking about Watari, so, geting back to that ;] And how he was actually a famous inventor who built orphanages? Well, it explained why L got driven around in a limo and why Watari was with L in the first place. Yeahh, they were cutee <3

RAYE PENBER && NAOMi MiSORA ;; I thought was pretty cool, though he had a pretty tiny role. The scene when he dies and looks into the train and sees Light Ooh, too good. I felt bad for him, though, seeing as how that was his last day of tailing Light anyways... But the real hero here was Naomi, or Shoko Maki. She was legit. Figuring out that Kira had to have been on the bus and that he can kill in ways other than a heart attack? Now, she was too good. And the fact that she was a former agent herself and had worked closely with L himself? That made her pretty awesome. And the fact that L actually remembered her. Though, both Raye and Naomi's deaths were taken too easily. I mean, I guess Raye got the limelight since L noticed him reaching for the train and that Kira had to have been on the train. But Naomi? She's missing for four months, you assume she's dead, but you don't do anything to actually find the body? And her death was really lame, too. I mean, we spend the entire episode meeting her, learning about her, seeing how dang smart she is, and then she dies? It really should not have been so easy. If she had to die, she shoulda at least have gotten to talk to L first. Make it interesting for him to get the information, and then kill her off. But, with so little female characters as it was, we coulda kept her longer, no?

RYUK ;; Ryuk was a very...interesting shinigami. Haha, to use his own words ;) But seriously. He was HiLARiOUS. I loved his love of apples, since I have a love of apples myself ;] And the way he used to twist up when he didn't get apples? That was pretty funny. He was good company for Light and I think Light enjoyed having him around. He was cool because he dropped the notebook simply out of boredom. Though, I find it hard to believe that Light picking it up was entirely accidental. I mean, it had to have been fate, no? Well, either way, it was awesome that Light did in fact pick it up. And Ryuk having to kill Light at the end? I kinda wonder if Ryuk enjoyed doing it, seriously did feel pity for Light because he might have had to stay in jail or be tortured, of if he didn't even care and really only wrote the name so he wouldn't have to stay on Earth until Light died... That's one thing I wonder about Ryuk...

REM && GELUS ;; Sorry, but I thought they were both losers. Okay, I get Gelus falling in love and dying for the girl and blah-di-blah-di-blah... But then Rem first takes his notebook, then falls in love with the same girl? How lame. So, first, right now Misa has all of Gelus years of life. Then she meets Rem and hlaves her life for the eyes, which Rem is for some reason ready to do, even though she supposedly cares deeply about Misa... I don't get that. And then she won't even give Misa the satisfaction of death when she is confined? No, let's make her forget everything and make this a really awkward situation instead... Whatever. Then Rem can't help but touch Misa with a scrap from the notebook and make her able to see her? And tell her everything that happened? And then Misa halves her life again for the shinigami eyes, and Rem doesn't get mad at Ryuk or anything. And then Rem gives her life for Misa's? Come ON, Rem and Gelus, both. MiSA iS A LOSER. You two did so not need to give your years to her! And now that girl's going to live forEVER....>.< And Rem HAS to kill Watari and L? As if. Why do you have to listen to Light? LiGHT iS ALWAYS WRONG.

KiYOMi TAKADA ;; I totally called she was going to come back later in the series when Light first dated her ;) He just acted to be too into her for her to have just been a side date to Misa. No, I knew she'd be important ;] I thought it was cool how she became the spokesperson after that fat fool, Demegawa. She was pretty cool, working with Mikami and Light. And she took Light being Kira pretty well. I woulda been like, whaaa? xD But, Takada was cool. Yeahh... Though, stripping naked? Was that at ALL necessary? I mean, what was Mello even planning on doing with her clothes? Sending them to Light? :P And then Light KiLLS her. Like, whaat? I seriously thought he liked her. Like, legitimately. 'Cause we all know she liked him. Burns to death... Suicide... Light is CRUEL. And heartless.

TERU MiKAMi ;; I thought Mikami was really cool at first. Like how he defended the weak in the flashbacs and all? He was a cutie. But then, his mother says one thing wrong and so he was HAPPY with her death?  How messed up is that? But he was still pretty awesome, knowing exactly what Light wanted from him. He just went a tad bit overboard... I felt kinda bad for him when he thinks he's going to kill Near && Co. and the task force and he's going all crazy happy deleting. Then he finds he was compeltely wrong xD Felt bad, but at the same time it was like, HAH! You can't beat Near that easily! Near would NEVER reveal his face unless he was entirely completely positive he wouldn't be killed. Anyways, Mikami's death? Igh... He was spurting blood like a fountain! How disgusting :P

HALLE LiNDER ;; She was cool. Again, we needed more females in this show! But I would have liked to see more of her relationship with Mello. Why does he choose her when trying to get to Near? Plus, he shows up while she was in the shower ;) And why does she trust him to take Takada? And why does near look at her when talking about Mello? These are the questions that haunt me...xP But, she was cool. I liked how she caught Misa when Misa was going after Takada for smirking. And how she joins in the dinner between Misa and Takada [the only all girl scene in the entire series] xD

SAYU YAGAMi ;; Small character. I was comparing the entire first half of the series to Code Geass, and so I thought that Sayu would be as important to Light as Nunnally was to Lelouch. But I was wrong. in fact, Light was fully prepared to kill Sayu when Mello caught her and asked to trade her for the notebook. I could not believe Light. Like, he'd become evil, but thaat evil? To kill his own sister? Well, he'd been ready to kill his own father, but still....Crazy.

REiJi NAMiKAWA ;; I know he was a miniscule character, but I thought he was AWESOME. I don't know why, but I liked his calm demeanor, the way he was ready to kisten to L and follow orders... Iloved how he tricked Light into revealing that Higuchi was the Kira among them ;) I felt bad that Light killed him and Mido since they were talking about 'starting fresh' so I assume they were going to work Kira-free anyways...

MATT ;; He was a pretty tiny character, but I just wanted to talk about the scene when he gets out of his car and says he surrenders and the people shoot him a bajillion times. That was HiLARiOUS :P Poor Matt, though... Haha. He was a really super minor character. And apparently only created so Mello would be lonely xD



Mordred, from JLU. Sorry, couldn't help myself ;)



MELLO ;; Okay, I didn't like Mello when we first met him, I didn't like him when he was wit the mafia, and I didn't like him when he kidnapped Takada and DiED. In fact, I was ELATED at his death. Quite elated. It was quite elating. Mello was a loser. And I thought he looked like the son of Morgan le Fay from Justice League Unlimited xD Sorry... He acted like him too. Like a little kid trying to live in a big kid's world. And his eye burn reminded me of Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender. Yeahh, I really didn't find anything original about this guy at ALL...

NEAR ;; Okay, I tried reeally hard not to like him because I saw him as simply an L wannabe... But he was soo hard not to like! He was soo like L, and he was soo adorable! Playing with his toys, figuring things out, and being generally L-like. He even sat like L :P And his hair twirling thing was like L's thing with the lips...Haha. He was cute. And he was wayy ahead of Light. I loved how he even switched the real notebook at the end and made a COMPLETE fool of Light. No, not just a fool, a COMPLETE fool. Yeppers.

MiSA AMANE ;; LOSER. I didn't like her from the start. I mean, if you're going to bring in a female [since there aren't many to begin with] and she's going to be Light's [the main character] love interest and also make L and everyone else fall in love with her, including TWO shinigami, then why in this world can that female to be lovable, or even slightly, remotely LiKABLE by the normal people watching the show? And if we ARE to assume she jumps off the building at the end, that would have been a complete waste of Rem and Gelus's lives since she would have simply thrown away all those years those two shinigami gave to her... I don't know what exactly I would want to believe on that. Because if she died that would make me happy [though I would have preferred if she had died sooner in the series] but it would be a let down for poor Rem and Gelus. Though, if she continues living, would she be able to live in a world without Light//Kira? I personally don't think she'd be able to make it. She worked so hard to make him love her, and in the end, he was just too heartless to have ever cared at all... Poor girl, really.

L ;; L was the best. He was the coolest, and the most legit. He beat everyone in this show. And I have now decided that episode 25 of any show is never good. Episode 25 of Fullmetal was when my beloved Maes Hughes died, and episode 25 of Death Note is when my love, L, lost his life to Rem, the monster and Light, the other monster. Ahh. And then, having to see Light's eyes like that as you died? That had to be TERRiBLE. But he knew. He knew at the very end that he was right about Light being Kira. And his eyes at the end! They weren't all black and empty anymore! They went back to normal <3 But it was soo cute when L said that Light might be his first friend. And then when they were out in the rain and L makes Light come out too and then cleans his feet...<3<3 L was the best (: Light didn't deserve to get to know him >.< Though I found it lame that they made L like Misa too. WHY DiD EVERYONE LiKE MiSA? And in the directer's cut, when Light goes all crazy happy? Like, duude, no one cares about you...

LiGHT YAGAMi ;; We started with a Yagami, I find it only appropraite that we end with one, too ;] Light. I stronglyy disliked him. He was dumb, impulsive, annoying, heartless, and above all EViL. He didn't care about his sister, he was ready to kill her, he didn't care about his father, he wanted him to die, he didn't care about Misa, he was only using her, he didn't care about Takada, she was easy to dispose of. The only person he might, could have cared aout? L. And he got L killed pretty quick. And then he gloated. I thought Light was seriously awesome before he lost his memories. That part was epic. He was strong and evil, and he was going head on with L. Then he loses his memories and became...well, a cutie. But it lasted wayy too long. I missed my evil genius. I had no idea, though, that when he came back it would result in L's death... I would have left him as an ignorant innocent if I had known.... He's SUCH a loser... Igh....

A truly amazing anime. I enjoyed watching it (:
