I have to say Death Note was the first Japanese movie I really got into (other than the Prince of Tennis movie) and a proud owner of all three movies. I'm lucky enough to sometimes have my mom watch it with me who says that Kenichi Matsuyama (who plays L) is quite cute. I have to agree with her.
Death Note is brilliant, was disappointed with the ending. Gosh, the way I hate Paradise Kiss. I could not finish it. There was something annoying about that George guy.
Thanks! :)
