I LOVE Death Note! The songs,plot,characters…all of it was very well thought out.The tennis scene was a little silly, though.
I heart L and Mello!:D
I’ve been reading your blog lately, but I haven’t gotten the chance to comment on any of your posts.
I really enjoy your blog, and I hope you keep posting more awesome reviews!:D
Ohai Jessica! Yes, I was also amazed, both with Tsugumi Ohba’s ability to create such a complex epic plot (I can’t imagine the work she/he had so all the intrications turned out the way they did to lead the story development perfectly), and Takeshi Obata’s art.
And ofc, L is also my favourite character (heart). But I like Mello’s badass style plus chocolate addiction (lol).
Aw, I’m really happy you’ve been visiting the blog and I’m even happier that it’s of the likes of yours. I try my best to keep it updated, but I have such scarce time… (sigh)
But don’t worry! I’ll keep doing my best to do it! Any suggestions or requests that you may want to share, please do it (preferably in the Guestbook). Please continue visiting ^^
