Friday, June 15th, 2007

Emma, Emma...chin up!

Things are about to get a lot more complicated for our two star-crossed lovers. Emma’s mistress has up and moved to London, bringing Emma just a stone’s throw from her darling William.

Naturally, she’s depressed about it.

Death Note 35 - The end is…Near.

Friday, June 15th, 2007

Is it almost over?

This episode starts with a strange, sort of slow-motioned montage of scenes surrounding our various characters and their dealings. The music is very somber, like someone has just died. It’s odd. Basically, this is the signal that there’s a lot going on, but they don’t have time to animate it all, so you’ll just have to guess at what’s really happening. Good luck.

Then it goes to Light getting all giddy over Mikami “confirming it.” Confirming what?!

…Even if it cared, the world may never know, considering the C&D order given to Kuro-Hana. I know, I know…I laughed, too.

PORK CHOP SANDWICHES?!

Things took a dramatic and unexpected turn in this week’s episode. Deciding to throw caution to the wind, the production team ended the Death Note series three episodes early, and to hell with the exciting conclusion you might have expected. No sir, we’re headed in a different direction altogether.

NUCLEAR EXPLOSION. EVERYONE DIES.

Oh. No. No, that isn’t what happened at all.

Death Note 33 - No such luck.

I think there's a metaphor here...if I could just find it...

If episode 32 was a departure from crap, episode 33 seems to be settling back down into it. It wasn’t as bad as we have seen lately, but it wasn’t as not-bad as the last episode, either. I just don’t know what to do with Death Note anymore. It’s like my child, in a twisted sort of way - I’m disappointed in it and I want to send it to a home, but once upon a time I made the commitment and now I feel too guilty to put it up for adoption.

Death Note 32 - Dare I hope…?!

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I can't even believe my eye...s...

Episode 32, I am thrilled to say, was a sort of return to the old Death Note. That is, it didn’t suck quite as hard as others have and it didn’t leave me feeling deflated and upset. Instead, I actually had a good time watching it and my first response was, “damn…what the hell am I going to blog about?!” A good sign, Death Note. Keep it up. Please!
