Do You Want to be a God?
I just finished watching “Death Note” Vol 1 and 2. Before watching the anime, I saw the movie, and I must say that I am now really impressed with the film. They did an amazing job of mirroring what is in the anime. There are some minor differences, but really minor. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite animes of all time.
It focuses on death, god complexes, and a cat-and-mouse chase. The characters are not easily identifiable as good or evil. It’s something that i like about this anime. I sometimes feel like I am smarter than other people, like Light and L. I also feel like I am constantly pondering the questions that the characters are battling:
1. Is killing criminals a crime?
2. Is killing innocents in order to continue killing bad people a crime?
3. What is good?
4. What is evil?
5. What would you do if you had the power to kill someone without touching him/her?
Currently, I think the following:
1. Not if they have killed, tortured, or sexually abused others.
2. Yes
3. Still thinking
4. Still thinking
5. I would do it if they were evil people
I can’t wait to get Volumes 3 and 4. This is one thing that I love about animes. It usually makes you question your beliefs and values . I think my love for anime like this one is one of the reasons that I think in a way that others don’t. Definitely start watching “Death Note.” If you aren’t an anime fan, then watch the movie of the same name.
