Comments on: Death Note 18 http://animearimasu.animeblogger.net/2007/02/15/death-note-18/ Where anime and rhetoric unite Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:41:17 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Sharn http://animearimasu.animeblogger.net/2007/02/15/death-note-18/comment-page-1/#comment-26464 Sharn Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:35:50 +0000 http://animearimasu.animeblogger.net/2007/02/15/death-note-18/#comment-26464 Is it just me? or was it laughable, the way Light's face changed once the memories of the Death Note were taken away? Just another argument to add to the point of power corrupting. It's a dramatic juxtaposition between the "Kira-Light", where he believes that he is supreme, and the "Innocent-Light", where he reverts to his old self (Not even, this goes deeper, back to when he didn't think about the corruption of the world). So is it the corruption of the world that led to the corruption of himself? It's an interesting question, to say the least...

Just look at Sailor Moon for instance....out of the six seasons Usagi (and various other characters) "die" three times....usually brought back by some mystical power or other....... Naruto is the incarnation of a fox demon Most of the characters in Air are reborn souls from feudal Japan Makoto is a fox reborn as a human so she can see Yuiichi..... I'm new to anime watching, but I'm sure the list continues.......Nothing is ever certain :) Which anime was spoiled for you Shirukii???? @ Danny & Shirukii:

And I'm surprised L isn't dead yet, he clearly gets very little sleep and has horrible eating habits, but alas, anime characters only develop sicknesses in dramas. Unless you count a cold/flu as a sickness, which they will always get if they don't take a shower immediately after coming in from rain/snow. @Whispered.Hope: Seems like I'm one of the few that thought this ep was better T_T As for the difference between the two Lights, a combination of the two would make the most sense, and I guess his drop in reasoning powers comes from the fact he doesn't have to battle L every waking second. I'm starting to warm up to non-Kira Light =P I have watched the LA movie, the first one only though. You can continue watching, the story is an altered version of the first arc. Everything that was covered in the first movie has already been shown in the anime ^^ Though it's not that great of a movie, so beware =P @ Kanon_fan82: Yea, L’s test of the team was pretty boring, and he’s just wasting time by continually testing the team’s resolve rather than solving the case.

Then again, I'm one of the few who actually believed Light could die, so...xDD As for the difference between non-Kira Light and Kira-Light, I think it's a combination of two of the reasons you provided. Light, at first, did think he was doing good and doing it out of justice, but along the way he got corrupted, because power does corrupt people. And the quality has been touch and go, as you've shown with Misa xDD I can't wait to see more graphs in which I will struggle to interpret and understand xP Have you see the first Live Action movie, Shirukii-san? I've watched the first half hour but I'm afraid to continue in case it's spoiling. I like the anime way too much to be spoiled by the Live Action. I thought the last episode was better than this one.

I'm not gonna give up on Death Note quite yet....but the first arc was definitely better........ two comments: 1) What was with the last 10 mins being spent on a minor character's decision to leave the Kira-investigation team??? It was rather boring and pointless........ 2) I did like the fight scene between L and Light-kun........the expression on L's face was classic when he admits he's depressed :)....... btw, I wonder if L has developed type two diabetes with all those sweets he's eating all the time????? lol :P..... I gotta say……..for me this episode sucked large!
