My comic got its first email yesterday, and it was to tell us that it's not funny but the art is decent.
Hell, *I* couldn't told you that. I don't like the current comics either.
Ah well. Anyway, she likes Jer's art, so that is cool. I'll have to remember to tell him that when I see him.
I think the end of reading break is what prompted me to suddenly start downloading and/or starting up a whole lot of stuff. It's like... I might have to try and get stuff done now - crap! Gotta find other things to keep busy with!
I'm downloading two new anime series - King of Bandit Jing, which I have never heard of and don't know anything about (I saw a box set at a store once and liked the picture) and Uninhabited Planet Survive, which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
herongale recommended to me forever ago and which I've been meaning to get started on since then.
They're still downloading, so I have yet to watch anything of either of them. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow when I should be doing homework.
I also cracked and started reading a certain manga that various people on my Friends list are obsessed with. I figured at least the art would be good, since it was the artist who did Hikaru no Go. I've also been told by just about everyone who reads it that it's goddamn addicting, which I found to be ALL TOO TRUE.
Anyway, for those who don't know, it's called Death Note, and the main character is an arrogant little ass. I like his Shinigami pal, and I like his opponent, but I don't care much for him. I'm kind of hoping everything ends up blowing up in his face, really.
It's kind of blatantly obvious that his attitude is supposed to be a very dangerous one, and damn, do I ever agree. I mean, you can argue that he's doing it for the "good of the world" or whatever, but... well... absolute power corrupts absolutely - there's some truth to that.
I actually found the term 'purifying' to be extremely freaky. It makes the hair at the back of my neck stand up when someone starts talking about purifying the world or whatever. Sure, NOW he is aiming at criminals, but suppose his objective is achieved and crime is more or less gone? Now what? Knock off the people who have characteristics he doesn't like?
Justice is a tricky concept. It doesn't mean the same thing to everyone - hell, I think this is one of the reasons we have government and laws. So people don't take justice into their own hands and start killing those they think *deserve* to die.
That said, I like L. Me and the rest of the fandom, it seems, but still. He's quirky and intelligent. I also like how he mentions that they're both just trying desperately not to lose now - I don't think that fact has hit Raito yet, although he displays all the symptoms of it. He seems to have gotten off-track from his original purpose.
I had to stop reading last night to go to bed and get enough sleep for school today, but I'll be going back to it now. I want to see what happens next.

I read spoilers. I know what's coming. Darn it all...
This manga is the spawn of satan. It steals your soul and then toys with it. I swear.
