Hello Internet, (had been watching a Danisnotonfire marathon recently)
Since I'm currently having a facial mask on my face, I thought why don't I post a blog while waiting for it to dry and practically make my face feel as though it's shrinking like a raisin. (Oh, the things girls do for beauty.) Anyways, for the past few days I've been really obsessed with this anime, Death Note. And for those who hates anime, spare with me now. I, too, once hated anime and thought of them as a cartoon for children (and as you can clearly see, I've been so wrong), but through one of my favorite Youtuber, AmazingPhil, I decided to give Death Note a try. Which turns out to be one of the best decision I've ever made in my life.
If any of you never heard of Death Note before (Are you living under a rock?), this is how the story goes: Light Yagami got a book where you can write names on it and the person will die. A famous investigator, L, comes along wanting to solve the mystery on who exactly is behind this mass murder of criminals... In a twist of events, everyone dies. The end.

But of course the story is not like that. You have to watch it to really understand my feeling towards it. So for this blog, I thought I would share a bit of my thoughts on my first series anime. **MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**

| Light Yagami, Kira |
The main character of Death Note is Light Yagami. Honestly, I don't disapprove of his way on killing convicts and criminals. This is in fact justice. Besides, the people he killed has lawfully sinned, so it wasn't him who did all of the judging. I believe some of the convicts are judged by the courts and stuff. However, it was Light's characteristics that made me dislike him. The way he uses woman to reach his goals and how in the end became obsessed with preventing L from finding out he's true identity of being the 'God of the New World'. He's a smart guy, but it was his self pride that had lead him to his downfall.

As you watch the anime, you can't help but start to fall in love with the intelligent investigator, L. Unlike Light, I like L because of his characteristic. Quirky, cute, smart and his love for sweets. What I think leads to his downfall was in fact Rem's appearance. To him, it was totally uncalled for. To be honest, who would've thought that Rem would risk her own life to save Misa (I mean, seriously... A girl like Misa??) When L died, I can't help but feel sad that a great investigator like L had to die. But at least he died a great investigator by feeling that his time was almost up.

P.S : Is it just me or did the ending became kinda blurry and a tad bit different from when the anime first started after L's death?
After L's death, here come along Mello and Near, two worthy of being L's successors. Although Mello's death was also necessary in order to capture Kira once and for all, it was still kinda depressing to see Mello sacrifice himself. As for Near, I remember reading a comment about how it is not fair that Near get to solve the case within a short period of time while L took a lot more time and yet not being able to solve the case. After watching the anime, I realize it wasn't like that. It was both Mello's and Near's hard work that brought Kira into justice.

All in all, it was a really great anime. Makes you question on whether you're an evil person or a good person,and what ways you use to achieve what you said. Either way, there'll always be a monster inside of us. It's the fact that whether or not do we want it to grow and eventually take control over us. I believe that no matter how good we are, we are still not in the place for judging other people's act or doing. Only God Almighty could do that because, after all, He is the one who created us.

| Happy times~ |
What do you guys think? I think I would be glad to have a Death Note marathon right after my test, after all, it IS a really good anime. I'd give it six deaths out of five. :)
So that's that. I'm actually thinking of writing the way I hope Death Note would end, hope it would take me another, what? 2 months... ;D Bye Internet & Happy Blogging!
