Sorry, Mr Potter, but I just have to watch this musical as soon as possible, because I was suffering so much to watch it. I’ve finally watched “Death Note: The Musical”. Well, I’m not sure if it was worth watching thirty-seven episodes of “Death Note”, but since I did watch them it was easier for me to watch the musical because there’s an album in English but all productions are either Korean, or Japanese, so I had to watch it with subs and understanding what’s happening (thanks to anime) helped me a lot. Of course, I enjoyed it much more than the original. I did hear some familiar Wildhorn’s tune motives even through a very foreign language. I also enjoyed Ryuk – there was more of him than in the original and he was a little cooler (and more humorous) here. L is the best part of this show – his songs are great (probably only “Only Human” is better than “The Way It Ends” and “Stalemate”) and he looks pretty (sorry). He also tells the truth: Kira is a crazy psychopathic murderer – thank you L. The plot is differentiated from the anime (of course, you just can’t fit all that trash happening in those series for thirty-seven episodes with so many characters in two and a half-hour musical). Though, it’s pretty close to the first half of the original – the beginning, the start of the investigation, Misa’s story. The ending, on the other hand, is much shorter and happens much faster than it used to. (Spoilers!) The only person who dies is L, also because of Rem, but then he meets with Light in a warehouse (as with Near at the end) and L follows everything written in the Notebook – shoots Light in the leg and then shoots himself, saying that he predicted it. Then, Ryuk says that Light is no fun anymore and kills him. What, on the one hand, feels a little rushed, on the other hand, is anyway better than what happened in the original. And now a cherry on the cake – there’s a half-legal (I don’t know, maybe just illegal, there’s nothing about it on the “Death Note: The Musical” Wikipedia page) Russian production of that musical and do you know who’s Ryuk? Drumroll… Kirill Gordeev. You can find a bootleg of a concert performance on YouTube (here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQZgMMOINy4 ) and some stuff with the costumes too (here’s “Kira” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQdkiCGCmB4 and “Only Human” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2pJhrDQBF0 ). Well, enough “Death Note” in my life, it’s time to get back to some anime I can enjoy.

I’ve watched the thirty-seventh episode of “Death Note” which means – UP TO THE END. I lived through this… Okay (Spoilers!), Near has forged both notebooks and one real ha keeps to himself and Aizawa has the other one. Light panics, screams, tells that they can’t kill him, because he’s a god of the new world (he seriously said it out loud). Then he tries to tell his motivation out loud again and then tries to write Near’s name on the piece of Notebook he has in his watches but Matsuda shoots him. At first in the hand and then almost kills him, because he realizes that Light led his father (whom Matsuda admired so much) to death. Wounded Light runs away and Ryuk writes Light’s name in his notebook (which one is it? I’m already so confused with all those Notebooks movements) because he thinks that Light is no more fun for him. I want to say two more things: Firstly, the beginning of the series was six years ago?! (By the inside time, of course.) Secondly, stop trying to make it “poetic cinema”, though the colouring on the background was very beautiful at the very finale. Finally – I did this.

I’m back!!!! Are you ready for new pics?????????

OH YEAAAH?!
