Where I stand in the Death Note fandom

As with most anime, I discovered Death Note through Toonami. I never really tried to watch it on there although I did catch a few scenes like when Light killed the detective, Ryuk and Misa exchanged apples and Near wore that L mask (which scared the hell out of me as a kid.)

I did try to read the manga in high school but only got as far as the Yotsuba arc before getting bored. I did watch the anime series once I got the internet at home. It was one of the first series I watched.

I really enjoyed the Gothic tones and nature of Death Note. It barely had any action but more than made for it with drama and suspense. This was an anime where the battle was fought with the mind rather than the body. As far the debate between L and Light goes, while L is my favorite character, I'd probably side with Light because his intentions did start out noble, even if they were corrupted over time.

(Crap! I didn't know this page could extend. I guess I can give more concrete summaries for future anime.)

Anyway, if your a fellow Death Note fan, I'd love to hear from you!
