GAME OVER.

[tenel_ka]

So Nate made a mistake by introducing me to Death Note. There are certain animes I love and it really takes a lot for me to get into one. If I don't like it by the first/maybe second episode -- if it doesn't catch me -- then I can't watch the rest even if it gets completely awesome later. I'M WEIRD. :( Or just picky about watching things.

One day Nate was all, "I think if you enjoy the craziness, intensity and twists of 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors then you would like Death Note."

Now I had heard of Death Note before, but didn't know anything about it and hadn't seen it. I knew the fans were rabid (not that that is bad all the time), lol. But I said, "I LIKE CRAZINESS, I'LL TRY IT. SURE."

So the first episode I thought, "Okay, premise is pretty neat. Let's see where they go." Also, Ryuk wins everything. By the second episode I was almost ready to sail this ship. By the third I was on the front of the ship with my arms out like flippin' Titanic. MY HEART WILL GO ON, AMITIRE?

If you told me, "There is a whole episode of this anime where all that happens is this dude tries to get this chick's names and you will love it." I would've told you, "LOLOLOL STFU WHATEVER. DISLIKE."

But that episode had me chewing my fingers cause I had already chewed my fingernails off on the episode before. Light + Death Note = total justice dealing dickface. I LOVE IT.

We're on episode 19 right now and things are getting even more crazy, which I thought wasn't possible, but apparently it is.

I kept saying to Nate, "OH GOD. I BET THE L/LIGHT SLASH ON THE INTERWEBS IS ABUNDANT. OH YES. OH MAAAAN." And he keeps laughing about it. I also keep saying that he should cosplay as Light. He's tall, he can easily pass for high school/college age when he shaves and he always wears nice outfits (plus I would just like to make the Death Note, lol) -- then I started in with the "I WILL COSPLAY AS L AND SLASH WITH YOU OKAY THAT'S GOOD YES~"

He thinks I'm kidding. He thinks I won't do it.

Excuse me, bros, while I prep my eyeliner, look for a black wig and gather an abundance of sugar-infused items.

(WE FINISHED THE FIRST GAME ON OUR LIST OF 100! IT'S A MIRACLE! Let's see if we can keep it up! XDDD)

Ohhhboy. Freaking Deathnote. The end was pretty amazing though. I loved it (I heard the anime is a bit different, I never watched it but the manga ending was epic). I think the best way of describing it was that you have to get through the BS to have a really rewarding ending.

LOL oh god. Good luck if you do cosplay that stuff. Also, I love you for not calling him Raito.

I don't know you, but I'm fairly certain we have the same views on DN lol. I too enjoyed the manga ending soooooo much after all the stupid shit that happens throughout the rest of the series. And I too am very happy that she did not call him Raito. I hate when people do that.


(I am sitting here grinning and chuckling to myself thinking about the ending...)

[nekogonya.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaah. In General I tend to be an manga person over anime and pretty much didn't bother to really watch the anime. I get so frustrated with the "Raito" thing. His name is Light. The Japanese say Raito because of their own language, but the name is meant to be Light.

OHGOD so good. So worth it

[blood-sorbet.livejournal.com]

To this day the ending makes me grin maniacally. I remember reading the ending and just being like "HA!!!"

Man, now I actually feel like going back and re-reading it, just for the amazing pwning that goes on.

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

The anime has the same basic ending -- which was totally deserved, OH MY GAWD. I started the manga cause I just WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. AND AGAIN.

I am so afraid of the fandom and don't want to step in it (lol like it is a puddle or dog poo or something), but I just want to be a creeper eating too many sweets and perching in chairs like a DETECTIVE DERP. XD

I-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CALL HIM THIS. UNLESS THESE PEOPLE ARE JAPANESE AND I BET THEY AREN'T. :|

HIS NAME IS LIIIIIIIGHT.

*evil laugh*


Welcome to the fandom...

*rubs hands together in evil glee*

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

:DD

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL XD

Mwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who really dislikes Death Note (I almost said "hate", but I don't think my feelings are that strong...). I've read and watched the entirety of it and I just...really do not like it haha. Though the ending is pretty fantastic and makes for some awesome memes. (I do also enjoy the "JUST AS PLANNED" meme which gets used quite a bit around the interwebs)

...but I just really dislike pretty much every character except for L, and Light just pisses me off sooooo much. Also, I think I am a little bitter about how popular it is with everyone except me lol.

...but I'm glad you found something new to love XD No hard feelings for liking DN, as pretty much every single person I know loves it too ^^; I did a photoshoot for Kayla when she and friends did a group haha.

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

djfkajsdk when that part came on and he said Just As Planned I was like NOW I FINALLY KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING LOL

I am in love with L and Near (ohgodohgod and Ryuk XD). I liked Light at first but they do a really good job of just totally dicking him up. Like... I can't even feel sorry for him cause he's just so fucking out there. Plus, I'm always a sucker for downfall stories - thanks Jacen Solo. :|

I was a little worried of getting into it because of how OMGSUPERPOPULAREVERYONESOHAWT it is. But I've sort of ignored everything but the anime/manga/movies (like I haven't really looked at anything on the internet, lolol) and that seems to be working in keeping me from getting sick of it so far. Probably the fact that I'm getting into it years later too, hahahahah~ XDDDD

I wish I could even remember how I discovered Death Note, but wow! What a story. Unlike some people here, I found the anime on YouTube and watched it in Japanese with English subtitles. I don't like things that are dubbed. So I liked hearing Raito instead of Light. It was an amazing journey! So glad you fouond it!

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

It's so crazy! Like I went into it not really knowing what it was about and was totally shocked as I watched it. There are some amazing twists over the course of the story! :D

And the Japanese voices are soooooo good. ^_^

I read all of the manga when it was only available as a scanlation back during my... sophomore year of college? 04-05 ish? and enjoyed it a lot. I've never seen a single episode of the anime though, but from what I gather after talking to Michael it seems they changed a few things. It's always exciting getting into a new fandom though :> (I've been all INCEPTIONINCEPTIONINCEPTION for the past month or so now hahaha)

[zhymmiajansen.livejournal.com]

OMG your icon is the cutest thing! Naoto! <3

[leesers.livejournal.com]

A-awww! XD I love Naoto to death (well, and Kanji too. Kanij one of the guaranteed ways to always crack me up hahaha) ♥

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

I'm reading the manga right now so I will definitely keep my eye out for the changes - I think they will both be awesome if the basic story stays the same. The ending was so deserved, hahahaha~! XDDD

I STILL NEED TO SEE THAT MOVIEEEEEEEE

[zhymmiajansen.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU DISCOVERED DEATH NOTE YESSSS

BEST DAY EVER

AND IF YOU TWO COSPLAY AS L AND LIGHT, I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. FOR-EV-EEEEER.

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

I THINK WE MIGHT DO IT. AND I THINK WE MIGHT DO THE HANDCUFFED ONES LOLOLOLOLOLOL XDDDDDD

BECAUSE WE ARE HORRIBLE AND THAT PART WAS AWESOME

I LOVE YOOOOOOUUUUUUU XD
