Vanish or I won't quit remove yourself from lastfm NOW!!!!!!!

Really now? I guess sugary cute does not appeal to you, but I find the design extremely ironic and very fitting given the content.

I just think its insane. I mean its silly. Courts should be used for real cases and not for making theological statements or for comedy. :P

I think I read were they threw the case out though recently. Some guy in Nebraska. What was frightening is that I think I read that they said he was a State Senator too. Which makes me question the intelligence of the people of his district that would put a looney tune like him in public office.

Oh, Death Note was an emotional roller coaster. But I can never think it a masterpiece because I didn't care about the fates of these characters. Its major weakness to me was having a two-dimensional cast. Mind, I am not saying they are bad characters, but they serve the story in a Shakespearean manner for the most part. Having two amazing dimensions used to carry the plot but lacking a third dimension that makes them relatable or realistically "human". Other than their woes and ambitions, is there anything more to Light and L or Near? Nothing. Good characters, iconic, but not complex or rounded.

As per the problem with TTGL, it's not that I did not recognise that the problems may not be problems at all. The reason I cannot possibly accept the changes or lack thereof with the characters is that it's too difficult to differentiate whether this was poor scripting or the work of a genius.

I can clearly see the merits of having the characters remain the same loudmouth idiots, striving to retain their old identities while some shed themselves completely to become someone else. Again, if this was intentional, it might have just been the most brilliant thing I ever saw in my life. I find myself making excuses for TTGL because I WANT it to be clever, I want it to have deeper meaning, I want it to be that masterpiece everyone heralds it to be. But I keep remembering my first reaction to episode 17:

"What the fuck is this...? Am I watching the right show??"

I wrote this essay on the character derailment of TTGL. I have yet to fine tune it and post it. I still think TTGL is a brilliant anime, but I can also chalk it up to coincidence that the characters' eventual personalities reflect something deeper.

But it does make me wonder, because how ironic it is that every person who frustratingly did not want to change ended up dying. To me, that was the anime's way of saying, "See, look what happens when you refuse to grow up." But was that the writers' intention? I don't think they catered this anime for anyone who wanted something more than just people shattering galaxies and hurling Big Bangs at one another.

People as myself who think too deeply upon it are left to be rather dissatisfied. I think people don't seem to realise I am duly upset by TTGL because I love it. Not that it didn't go the way I wanted makes me upset, that's silly. It just didn't go the way IT should have gone.

hi! what do you think of samurai champloo so far?

Thanks for recommending Kemonozume, I really enjoyed it.

I finished TTGL recently. You will never understand what rage I felt.
