The symbiote idea isn't scrapped just yet. Hopefully. I just need a way to both make it work and make the character interesting for me. (The easy route would be to just give her white hair, but that would just be pussying out.)

Hitler had supporters too, and he was renowned for being a charismatic talented speaker as well.
Also L weirded me out.

But he was the protagonist.
We were supposed to root for him.
That's how it works right?
Death Note was I think the first non-Miyazaki anime I ever watched. I'm not counting Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh because my interest in those was casual at best, but those shows were what anime was like, as far as I was concerned.
Imagine my surprise at that scene with the pen in Episode 37.

I saw this get posted and didn't realise they were sharing this thing ironically.
This blew my tiny ten year-old mind.
I think when I saw Death Note I kinda did root for Light, because he was the protagonist and I even justified his actions in the back of my head.
But I still kinda knew he was a piece of shit, and was hoping he'd turn around. So I think it was the second season? The arc with the business men, was kinda great for me.
But the point where I'm like, yeah this guy's a dick was when he started cheating on Misa.

You know, watching this again after all these years, I do have to say that it's very well-edited and put together apart from the sudden jarring "This Is The New Shit" clip. The Hitler in the background was a nice touch.

Yyyyep.
Though most of anime experience at the time was Bakugan, and the darkest thing I watched was Blood+.
Maybe Trinity Blood(The one with the Crusniks).
Well I actually watched anime that was both Dark and thoughtful like FMA, Trigun, and The Big O. But I didn't realize it at the time.

Oh man, I actually used to be hugely on the Pro-Light side of things.
I was technically thirteen but can I count that as my Dumb Fifteen Year-Old Thing?
