Fairy Tail Episodes 5-20

I don't really have much to say about episodes 5-10. I'm just glad it is finally taking a more serious tone. When they acted like idiots the whole time I couldn't take a word they said seriously. Not only that, but if you ask me, making everything constantly light hearted kinda makes it, well nothing. Light hearted and funny is the opposite of dark, tense, and scary. But in order to have an opposite, you have to have two things. It's opposite gives it meaning and existence. The way I see it, you have to have a little of both. They feed off each other. They balance it. By having both, the effect of each one seperately is much greater than if you only have one. I can't put it into words very well obviously, but my point is, I don't like songs that play the same damn note over and over and over. It's not a song. It's a note dragged on forever. I'm not sure that made anymore sense either.

Anyways, I should get to why I really started this post. Episode 15 is the problem. The question is why? Gray says that he needs to tell the guy that their old master is still alive, but when he gets there, he doesn't tell him. Instead he goes trying to sacrafice himself. Now wait just a damn minute! Did he seriously go on about that story for the majority of the episode to explain why he needed to tell the guy their master wasn't dead, just so he could burst in there, not tell him, and try to die???!!!! That just doesn't make sense!! Am I missing something? Also, does anyone else realize that he seems to manage to keep his clothes on during serious moments? How peculiar.
Of course, Natsu and Grey are a lot closer than they pretend to be. Natsu wasn't going to let Grey die.
Sadly, after all that build up, the defeat of the demon was a let down. The thing was basically already dead! Boring.
Still, the show is getting better. It's far from the best and certainly not my favorite anime. On that note, once I finish it, I probably won't rewatch it.....unless it has some sort of amazing ending. Honestly though, you have to do better than this to pull off a great ending. At least it isn't so annoying anyway. The characters are developing and the funny parts are actually funny. There are some truly serious moments which is a nice break. It's kind of like comic relief, only in this case, it's the other way around.








Damn plot twists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angel Beats Episode 7-12 SPOILER WARNING

Episode 7. Apparently now the vice president has changed sides, and had a change of heart too. The new members just get stranger and stranger. Otonashi wasn't that strange. Hacker kid was only as strange as well any tech hacking geek. Yui was working on the crazy side. Now we have the vice president of the student council who was formerly the enemy and vicious but turns out to be a nice kind guy. Why not add the giant fish to the ranks. Oh yeah, because you sliced, diced, and served him up hot. (my bad attempt at a joke.) 
This episode also tells us the story of Otonashi before he died. This time we even get to know basically what killed him. His story was sad, but compared to the others we had heard, it didn't seem all that bad. Granted, we don't know where his parents were, how his sister died, or what he was trying to do exactly. We only know he died before getting to do what he felt would give his life meaning. It's sad. It's sad that he lived on his own without friends and that he lost the only one he felt close to and his meaning for living. It's sad that he died before getting to do what he wanted to do. It's sad that he was alone and working two jobs. I can only imagine what other things he may have gone through given what we know. Still, it doesn't seem as traumatic as some of the other stories.
Comment about the end of episode though. SPOILER ALERT FOR EPISODE  
So are there two Angels now. Please don't tell me it's a good verses evil thing. Besides, Angel would never do anything like injuring someone badly.....would she?






 Episode 8. There aren't just two Angels, there's like a dozen, only most of them are evil. For the most part, it's another serious episode, but somewhat dark. It's a good thing these people can't actually die otherwise it would just be too much. Having them be unable to die does help lighten things up. It also allows you to kill someone multiple times. 
I think Angel reminds Otonashi a bit of his little sister and of people he wanted to help. He really seems to have grown fond of her. Apparently, it's not the being her friend part that will obliterate someone, it's the fact that if you hang out with her all the time you will be following all the rules and getting obliterated.
The relationship between Otonashi and Naoi is strange. On one hand, Ontashi gave Naoi something no one else had. He acknowledged Naoi's existence. It seems that Naoi mainly hangs out with the group so that he can hang out with Otonashi. He shows a different face to Otonashi, a friendly, happy one that looks up to Otonashi and wants Otonashi to continue acknowledging him. Obviously, Naoi really cares about Otonashi. During the hypnosis scene, it was in his face that he wished he could help his new friend deal with the recovered memories and make the hurting go away. He didn't like seeing Otonashi upset. What's strange to me is I would think their relationship would be a bit more fragile. What I mean is, at first they seemed close. Otonashi would keep Naoi in line making sure he didn't cause trouble in the group, but after the hypnosis scene, they seems more distant. Naoi still cares about Otonashi. Whenever he insults the others, he is always quick to inform Otonashi that he is not included with the others. However, Otonashi seems to be more involved with Angel than Naoi. Maybe he's just the guy that cares for the broken but once your healed he backs off?




Episode 9 is possibly the most emotional episode yet. I had some serious goosebumps watching that. We finally get the story of what happened to Otonashi on his last several days alive. What he did was amazing. He helped all those people and took charge of a challeging situation, despite his own injuries. He managed to keep those stuck with him from turning into crazy paniked animals. He gave them hope. He helped them last seven days despite injury with only the food, water, and suplies left on the train. When someone tried to steal the water, he didn't even punish the guy. He did all he could to make sure that everyone who survived the crash made it out of there alive. He only lost one, who was badly injured and didn't have much of a chance anyway. In his last moments, he even found a meaning in death as he had in life. He pulled out some card, took a pen, and marked it so that if any of his organs were usable after death, they would be donated. After he did, everyone else left pulled out their cards. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. But then, he may have died before seeing that. The worst part was, seconds after he died, help came. If he had just held on a little longer. The one who kept everyone alive, who told everyone they would make it out of there, never even got to see the light when the rocks were moved away. It was a matter of damn seconds. It's not enough to make me cry, but seriously!! Why the hell did they take seven days to go find these people!!!? Did it take seven days to realize one of your trains was missing and you can't pass through that subway line? That should have been your first clue. Did it take you seven days to realize people were missing!? If they had been just a little bit sooner, he might have made it. Of course, he likely had internal bleeding and damage, and they would have had to be more like a day earlier but still. He was the reason the rest of them were alive. He ignored his own injuries to try to keep the others from dying. He refused to look after only himself, or allow anyone else to. He kept them all alive and died before the end. Sure, he didn't get to reach his goal, but in a way he did. He wanted to help people. Well I would say he helped people more than he could have ever expected too. Without him, it's possible that none of them would have made it out alive. Not only that, but he donated his organs and encouraged everyone else to do so. I wonder if the ones who survived kept that or if they decided not to donate later on. Somehow I think they kept it. That was the last bit of hope he gave them. The hope that if they didn't make it out of there, they could still be of some use to someone else. Okay, I'll stop dragging on about it. It just makes me sad and frustrated.
So apparently, what the world was thought to be was a misunderstanding from the beginning. The world is for those who didn't have a good youth. It's a place to save their souls. Angel tried to make them follow the rules and all so they could have normal happy youths and save themselves. The battlefront group didn't understand. I guess, really, it's the leader, because of what she went through, she couldn't accept any of it. They obliterate when their soul is saved. However, Otonashi didn't disappear when he recovered all his memory and was at peace. He had wanted to be a doctor to help people before. Perhaps, his fate was to help those in this world, to save them alongside Angel. In order to help though, he is basically playing double spy here. It's kinda crazy how it all turned out. The show has taken a more serious tone now. Angel has returned to being the enemy as a sort of distraction. Everything seems rather normal. Personally though, I still don't fully get it. How would obeying the rules save my soul. It's more fun to have adventures, to fight (as long as no one is dying), to skip class and break class room rules. Maybe it saves your should because it's what good little boys and girls do. What happens if your soul isn't happy being good though?
Really I should go to bed, but I want to know what happens!!






Episode 10. There isn't much to say about it. Well, Angel and Otonashi should never go into the acting business that's for certain. Otonashi helping Yui was sweet, but what Hinata did at the end was amazing...amazing and beautiful. I never expected him to come out like that. I have to wonder if he knew what Otonashi was doing. I wonder if he understood, or if he just wanted to make Yui happy. Maybe he really would have done such a thing if they met in real life. I bet all of them would have been great friends at least if they had met in life.
Hinata can't go either though. He wants to help a few of his friends first. I just hope they all don't feel the same or it could get tricky. There are only a few episodes left, so unless this is another unfinished anime, they better hurry it up.



Episode 11. Note: Otonashi is bad at keeping secrets. How did Hinata and Naoi figure out. I understand Hinata, but Naoi?
Now that a new enemy has risen, it's time for the charade to end and for Angel to join the Battlefront. Faced with the grim reality that remaining in this world could cost them their souls while their bodies spend eternity going to classes, Yuri reveals Otonashi's actions and urges everyone to make their own choice. However, Yuri's choice is to go after the enemy. I don't fully understand why they don't all go after the enemy and continue to live together. Personally, I'm sad to see them leaving. I know it's probably for the best, but I think the adventures would be fun, and to be able to do anything without dying...I wouldn't be afraid of trying an areal. Okay, so not a good reason, but still. I wouldn't want to give up that life, not so fast. I wouldn't want to give up those friends either. On the other hand, I understand that they can't stay forever and they deserve to be at peace.
The anime is taking on a darker tone now and there is very little comedy. I suppose that is fitting. Only two more episodes left. I wonder how it will end. Why am I even writing this. Is it really necessary for me to write my response to every episode. Me says yes so apparently it is. Oh great, I'm talking to myself and typing my conversation with myself onto my blog. I should hurry up and finish these episodes so I can go to bed.


Episode 12. Lots of information and too much for be to bother with a response to. I'm not sure I have one.



ENDING SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Episode 13. Bittersweet. In a way, I was kinda disappointed. I sort of wished that Otonashi, Angel, Hinata, and Naoi would stay, or at least Otonashi and Angel. I sort of liked the idea that they would stay and help others along. I also thought it would make sense for Otonashi's character. At first, I thought perhaps Otonashi had stayed since it didn't show him leaving after Angel. Then in the ending song there was a picture of everyone and as the song went on, they disappeared one at a time, and Otonashi eventually did too. At that point I was a little frustrated because the ending didn't seem clear to me. But then, it showed a short part where it looked like Otonashi and Angel found each other in the real world. Now that may be sweet, but seems a little less logical. They both look the same age as when they died and pretty much the same way too. They also happened to be reincarnated near each other. How unlikely is that? Still, now they can love each other in real life I suppose. She was humming the tune and he recognized it so obviously they have some memory of each other however faint it may be.
I also like the ending because I want to think, that the others met up too. I'd like to think that Hinata and Yui met this time around and loved each other. I would like to think that Naoi might meet Otonashi again. I'd like to think they all meet again and become friends in their new life, or at least some of them. The ending gives me hope that this would be their new fate. I still liked the idea of them staying, but the real ending may be better in the end.

Overall, it was a good enough ending for me. I'm not going to stomp away mad and slam my computer shut. Okay, I think it would be the other way around like slam computer then stomp but whatever. Point is, it had a good ending which is the biggest deciding factor on whether an anime is good or not for me. It was slightly confusing at times and there were some things that just didn't make sense. There was some skipping of times where it felt like things were left unfinished too. However, the mix of comedy and seriousness worked really well. I liked how as we got further in, there was less comedy and more seriousness, but every episode still had at least one thing to laugh at. It made for a nice balance. 
For overwhelming and confusing information and time skipping, I have to take off at least a little. For having a good ending, and a good balance of moods, as well as good style, characters, pace, and plot, it gets a high score. That being said, I give it 4.75 out of 5.

Angel Beats Episode 1-6

Episode 1. CONFUSING. Honestly, I found the first episode to be confusing. I had to watch it twice, and still couldn't comprehend all of it. It's a lot of information to take in. The rules of the world are confusing too. Supposedly they live in this school, but they can't go to class or join clubs without getting obliterated. So what is the point of them being in the school? Why are there only young people in this afterlife? Why are there so few? Why did she say "don't be a model student" because some people get obliterated? If you can't do normal school things then you obviously aren't going to be a model student. And why do only some get obliterated for it? Wouldn't being a model student be playing by the rules? Or is playing by the rules what gets you obliterated? If so, then how long do you have to play by the rules? How come they can eat in the cafeteria but can't go to class? These NCP or whatever they are, why do they even exist? What is their purpose? I'm still kind of confused. I'm certainly interested in watching more of this.


Episode two didn't really help make sense of anything from episode one, but it was a good way to spend half an hour :)
It's interesting. They treat death somewhere between as if it were actual death and if it were a bruise. Apparently it does hurt to die, but surely it can't be too bad since it's short and the healing is so fast.
The whole "guild" thing was kind of confusing. If all these people are high school kids, and there is only this high school, where the hell do they get gunpowder and metal? It's not like a school would have such things. Schools aren't self-sufficient. That begs the question of where do they get their uniforms or food, and pretty much anything. On top of that, how do a bunch of high school kids have the memories and knowledge to build such a thing! Someone please explain to me how this works. Where do all of these things come from? For that matter, how did they manage to carve out that underground and build all those traps? This is confusing.
Okay, so it's obvious I should never get stuck in a situation like theirs because I would pay way too much attention to these things and probably wouldn't get any answers. 




Episode 3 offered a new way to get obliterated, or perhaps just cleared up a previous mentioned option. Of course, I thought it was kind of sad Iwasawa accepted her fate after her beautiful song. However, I love how the girl on the floor tripped the guy as if she was just grabbing a soda or something completely uninteresting. On the other hand, the hacker dude was a bit nuts. (Poor Noba brought down by Pie.) Then again, they all acted like a girls dorm room was some computer controlled high tech booby trapped fortress when it was just a girls dorm room. The picture that Otonashi imagined when they told him about it though totally made me think of Howls Moving Castle. So far the show has some seriousness and some comedy mixed together, which I like. It's not really dark, but it's crazy.




Episode four. Not much to say about it except it's the funniest one so far. The relationships between characters are developing more. Also apparently one can disappear if they do what they weren't able to do in real life. We still don't know exactly how any of them died. We only know some of there stories, but not the death. The anime short, so we probably won't know anyway. It looks like a lot of fun to be in this place. If this is the afterlife then I don't think I'd mind when my time came. Looks like fun!





Episode 5 is interesting. How on earth does Angel not hear them planning? It's not like they are whispering. They are just across the room! How does she not know something is up? Not to mention, they are all in their own uniform so she should be able to recognize Otonashi as one of them. How come they don't get in trouble for having the wrong uniform? (Apparently I do not understand the ways of Japanese school uniforms.) I mean seriously. These people couldn't sneak past a guy who was deaf and blind! It's hilarious to watch, but shouldn't they have at least made their plans before entering the testing room? Perhaps all of that just makes it more hilarious.
We do get to see a new side to Angel. After the mission miraculously succeeds, she is stripped of her position. So who is the enemy now. If they can't shoot the student council vice president, who are they fighting? Does someone else get Angels powers? Is Otonashi going to try to be friends with her? He certainly seems to care about her. He thinks of her more like a human that the others do. I'm not entirely sure if she is human though. I don't see how she is the only different one, not an NCP and not a dead person. After she lost her position though, she seemed like another normal girl.





Episode 6 is definitely the most serious and intense episode of this series so far. I'm not saying it was super intense, but it wasn't as comical as the others. The beginning had some funny moments. I loved when they were all acting "bad" in class. The one guy, I don't remember his name, was so excited over eating chips in class. It's not like the teacher seemed to care what they did. You get told you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't involve the Ncp's and you pick eating in class? How lame. Lame enough to be funny though. Noda's reaction when he got woken up was a little over the top. The ones playing a game in class totally reminded me of my Sophomore year in high school when my friend and I drew a board game on our desk (not on paper, on the actual desk) and played with erasers that looked like dice in the middle of class. Good times.
The story takes a slight turn when Otonashi tries to hang out with Angel and ends up locked up. Turns out, the vice president is actually, no I won't say it. Anyways, from there it got serious. I have to say, the ending with Otonashi embracing the vice president like that shook me a little. It's no tear jerker, but it's still enough to darken the mood. About half way through the series, I think it was about time for something like that.

Now and Then, Here and There Review

I think this story has a good idea, but I think a lot more could have been done with it. It has potential if they had just developed it more. The main character is rather annoying and there are some things that just don't make any sense. The graphics aren't exactly amazing either. The characters as a whole are rather shallow and simple.The only character that managed to surprise me a little was Abelia. Turns out, she wasn't all that she seemed after all.
The main character is rather naive and simple minded for sure. So much so that I didn't really like him very much. The plot is basically this. There is a girl, Lala Rue who has possesion of a pendant that holds a gigantic amount of water that only she can release. When soldiers from the future come to take her back, Shu, the main character, tries to stop them and ends up getting taken along with the girl. He ends up in a place called Hellywood, run by a childish crazy man. While trying to help Lala Rue, they get separated and he ends up with her pendant. Afterwards he loses it. Shu is beaten and tortured as the woman who took them tries to find out what happened to the penant. When it is decided that Shu doesn't know where it is, she forces him into being a soldier. The soldiers are children who were stolen from villages across the wasteland that is this futures world. They are taught to fight and kill, but Shu has no intentions of killing and continuously tries to stop the soldiers. This gets him into trouble and he becomes a prisoner again. After that, well just find out for yourself.
Lala Rue is needed because this futuristic world has very little water and for the ship, Hellywood, to run, it needs water for fuel. Now how the king convinces anyone to do anything, I'm not sure. He is seriously like a child with frequent temper tantrums.
The person who refuses to kill being put in a situation where he needs to kill, it's been done before and I imagine it will be done again. My favorite characters were actually Nabuka and Boo. 
Spoiler Alert - sadly, both died. Both Nabuka and Boo were soldiers. Boo obviously didn't like the killing from the start, and for all Nabukas talk, he didn't want to kill either. They both tried to follow their orders in hopes they could go back to their villiage at the end. Unfortunately, the king had never intended to let them go, and even if he had, the king had the villiages destroyed after taking what he wanted, so there was nothing to go back to. In the end, both did what was right. Boo managed to help Nabuka see clearly and Nabuka did the last thing he could to help Shu. In the end, Abelia delivered the final "blow" to the king.
The story was rather shallow and plain, but it wasn't too bad. Like I said before, it had potential. In the end, it turned out okay. I probably wouldn't give it more than 3 out of 5 though, if even that. Still, it's not a bad show to watch sometime if you have nothing better to do. It's not super exciting, but it's better than some things I've seen. I would certainly pick it over watching something on the current Cartoon Network. Then again, sometimes I think I would prefer just about anything over that....even if it meant reading Twilight, or worse.....Into Thin Air. That's off topic though. My point is, it's not a waste of time to watch, just don't go into it expecting too much.

Deadman Wonderland

Someone please tell me that was not the ending. How the hell was that the ending. That didn't explain a damn fucking thing. It was a pretty good story but where is the freakin ending!! Are you kidding me? Okay so now Shiro was somehow the red man? How? Did the other deadmen make it out and tell the world the truth? What the hell is Shiro anyway? She certainly isn't human. Humans don't have their leg broken like that then stand up and walk on it five minutes later! That was not an ending. Anyone who calls that an ending is out of their minds. Endings conclude things. That didn't conclude one damn thing. I suppose it left open the possibility that Red man and Shiro are one in the same but it didn't even confirm or explain that. In other words, that has to be one of the worst endings ever. I've seen some bad endings, but that was ridiculous. I almost gave the show a high score but decided I should wait to see the ending. I guess it's a good thing I waited. The show was pretty awesome but the ending destroyed it. Or rather, the lack of an ending destroyed it.

I'll write more when I'm less pissed

Btooom Review

Okay, so this anime may only be twelve episodes, but it certainly contains a lot. However, I would certainly caution anyone who wanted to watch it. It contains a lot of "uneasy" subjects. Probably not a good idea for any extreme activist of any kind. On the other hand, if you are just against guns, you will be fine because there are absolutely no guns.
Like I said, this anime packs a lot into it. It deals with betrayal, rape, abuse, psychopathic killers, bombs, crazy people, gamers, love, hate, fear, death, murder, criminals, sexual assault, revenge, high stakes games, bulling, karma, PTSD, divorce, romance, etc. It's got blood and gore, big boobs, explosions, half naked women, insane dudes, popular dudes, bad ass fighting women, and I can't believe I just said some of those things, but I did. Watched it to. I'm not saying it's the best anime or even a really great one, but I do have to respect how much they put into twelve episodes.
I have to say though, I feel like this is the Japanese version of the hunger games. On an island, only given a few things to survive, have to kill off the others to win and leave, someone trying to get around the rules, someone else offering to die to save the other, crazy guy in control, people being picked to be dropped into some "battle field", someone not wanting to "play the game" and trying not to kill, it just sounds a little bit too familiar. The first episode when Sakamoto was on the beach reminded me of the arena in the second book.
I didn't expect the thing with the rape to be taken so far, though, it was pretty cliche. It was the overweight guy who seemed sweet and caring then turns out to be crazy and goes nuts and tries to rape someone. How many times have I heard that before?
I guess my biggest issue with the anime wasn't it's similarity to a book or the countless cliches, but the ending. Yes, here I go again obsessed with endings. It just didn't feel like an ending. We have no idea what happened to the people on the island or what was going on with the "technical difficulties", or at least I don't. If you know then please share. I don't know what that very last part was all about. The whole thing felt like there was supposed to be more, another season or at least another episode. It felt like it was supposed to have a sequel, only as far as I or wikipedia knows, it doesn't. It doesn't have anything after that. If it weren't for the fact that it's been like two years since the anime started, I would think there would be more coming out. It wasn't just the ending that felt sudden either. The beginning felt sudden too. The beginning also seemed unorganized. In my opinion, either the writer or the director doesn't have a good sense of the three major parts of a story called beginning, middle, end. It wasn't until towards the end that I thought it was actually getting rather interesting. I felt an interest in the characters and there were more emotional scenes. I'm not saying shows have to be weepy and angry, even comical counts as emotional, but for the most part, it felt rather devoid of much emotion. I did laugh at the beginning when Sakamoto took so long to figure out the bomb had a timer. Like what the hell did you think the numbers counting down were for!? Time to turn your brain on. I wish it hadn't ended when it was finally starting to get really interesting.
Over all, I would say a 3.5 out of 5. I respect it for how many subjects it addressed and how it addressed them, but the plot was to cliche, the I didn't feel very connected with the characters, and the ending was not an ending.




Here we have our child psychopath who just killed his father. He looks really upset about it doesn't he?
I'm sorry but what exactly is this characters purpose?
This would be the prince rescuing the princess...without the royalty.

Punching the guy who betrayed your confession of love and slept with your girlfriend cliche.

What if You Had the Death Note?

I'm really curious to know what others would do if they came upon the death note.
Would you use it?
If so, on who and why?
If not, why and what would you do with it?
Would you want that power?


(Please feel free to comment. Anyone should be able to comment even if you don't have a google account or blogspot.)


Would I use the death note if I had it? Yes. On the people who live above me! Then I don't have to listen to the creaking and thumping and stuff all day long.
In all honesty though, probably not. I can't say I wouldn't be tempted, but I don't think I would go through with it...
If not, why and what would you do with it? Why? I don't think I could. It would go against my beliefs (and I'm not talking about religious). Even though I think I could do it without getting caught, I would probably eventually end up on the front steps of the police station confessing.... I don't believe killing can bring peace. The kind of "peace" Light created was fear. People didn't stop committing crimes because they thought it was wrong, they did it because they were afraid for their lives. Well hell, you might as well just make the world a dictatorship and strip away all freedom. The fact is, killing can't be stopped by killing. Killing a murder is not going to stop murder. Have you ever noticed that no matter how many criminals we execute or how many wars we fight, criminals still keep coming and wars still keep occurring. Think about it this way. It's a cycle of killing. We rage wars because someone killed someone else. We murder someone because they murdered our mother. We murder someone because they get in our way and then their best friend is pointing a gun at us to get revenge. You can't stop killing by killing. You have to learn to forgive and to show mercy. You have to find ways to help people instead of just getting rid of the ones you don't want or don't think should be here. So no, I wouldn't want to kill people. I believe Light was terribly wrong in what he did and what he thought. He was smart but he was blind.
It's also not my right or anyone's right to pass down judgement on who deserves to live and who does not simply because they did something we think it wrong. It's not my place to judge others and sentence them to death. I am no God. I am no superior being. I have no right.
What would I do with it? I honestly don't know. I think maybe, if anything, I would try to use it to help people. I think maybe sort of like assisted suicide for people who are suffering. Using the book kind of like a shot of mercy. If someone is terminally ill and ready to go, I don't think it's right to stop them. I don't think it's right to make someone suffer mentally and physically when they don't want to. There are times when killing isn't wrong. It's like on the battlefield if your friend is wounded and can't be saved and he asks you to make it stop. I think it would be wrong to just sit there and make him suffer till he slowly slips away if you can just end it and he wants you to. I know for a fact that if I was bed ridden and dying or unable to do things I liked and didn't even know where I was or who I was, I would really prefer it if someone just shot me and got it over with because I don't want to live like that. If I was in the middle of no where with my leg cut off and animals eating at me while I'm still alive, I would prefer some one just kill me fast. I don't want to die some slow painful death. I don't want to be kept as a vegetable either. Unfortunately, killing someone, even if that person asks you to and even if it's to end their suffering, isn't legal everywhere. With the Death Note, you could do it without getting caught. So if I had to use it, I would use it for that I think.
Would I want that power? No. I don't want that power. If you could do other things with it like maybe injure or scare but not actually kill, maybe. Still, even if I tried to help the dying, I wouldn't want that power. The stress of keeping it from bad people and trying to figure out if it's really okay to use it for any reason at all is too much. How do I know that I wouldn't somehow kill someone the day before the cure came out that could have saved them? How do I know that person was supposed to live and create some great invention. I can't see the gigantic picture. I can't see the future. I don't want to be responsible for trying to and messing up.
