Thanks, K97, that sounds pretty interesting. Like it's said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You really should give the show a try. I find it to be really intense for most of the story, plus it really makes you think.

I just try to ignore everything that happened in the series after [spoilers], including the backstory they tried to give him. My opinion of the series stays higher that way.

I agree that Death Note isn't quite the same after that, but I will say that if you give it a bit of patience, the story really, really picks up again after a little while.

This, though I really dig the crazy laugh scene in the last episode. It's great in every language.
