How can you get bored of Death Note?? xD I agree with Naruto though, I almost killed myself watching it. D:

Watching episode 6 of Haruhi Suzumiya, it needs to get better, I don't see why everybody says it's such a good anime, it's really confusing!

English theme songs for anime always seem to make me cringe.

Especially the Digimon theme. Somebody likened the evolution sequences without Brave Heart to ear rape. I think I agree now (having watched the subbed versions).

The Death Note anime was shorter than the manga so that's a bit annoying Plus, Light's death wasn't as horrendous as in the manga. In the anime, it looks like he just calmly died which is lame. The manga depicted it much better - a psychopathic murderer who thinks he was god, died a painful heart attack. He was suffering and wrenching on the floor like a helpless headless chicken. Ironic death at best. But what can I say, the original source material is always the best. When it got translated to other media, the magic got lost along the way sometimes.

Sometimes in the manga, things do get a bit silly. Like that handcuff scene, it's just too ridiculous. Initially, I was fascinated about the whole killing diary thing, but come on. Still, I do love the series. They failed to portray a psychopathic Light in the life action movie though. He was too baby-faced and cute, that he's not threatening at all. I just laughed the whole time when he says his line. L on the other hand, I gotta give props to the actor. Brilliantly done. Excellent indeed.

Very, very easily. In the manga, at least.

LOL! I haven't finish it, I'm playing P3 (I found it as I was in the middle of playing P4. So I stopped P4 and started playing P3 instead) as I thought it will be proper. P3 and then P4, right?

I guess. There are loads of P3 references in P4 that flew way over my head because I hadn't played it at the time. :I

This is kinda , isn't it? D':

Yeah, let's get back to anime. I reckon Full Metal Alchemist is kinda good. The whole concept of using formula to perform alchemy is just fascinating I think.

The first anime was crap. I love the manga, though. :D
