Death Note 9/10

This is a really interesting series that I haven't got that far with, but so far I really like it. I thin that some aspects of it make it seem a little unrealistic, which spoils the effect, but overall it is very good, especially if you enjoy psychological warfare. The contact between L and Kira, no matter how small, is fascinating to see, and L's suspicions of everyone to possibly be Kira shows how interesting a detective mind can be. I would recommend it if you liked Code Geass.

Black Lagoon 10/10

I just finished Second Barrage, and this is one of my favourite anime ever. The way that each situation is handled with humour and deadly seriousness creates a great atmosphere that is brilliant to watch. The use of humour and character building is especially accomplished: each character is viewed in depth, meaning that there are very few characters in the series itself. I find Balalaika to be one of the most interesting characters created, but I think my favourite has to be Dutch. He's the only one in the entire series that you don't know much about his past. Everyone else there are pieces of information dotted through the episodes that can be pieced together, but Dutch remains the mystery. This is quite a rude and violent series, so if you're young, I wouldn't recommend watching it. But, it is really good. If you liked Jormungand, this would be good to watch.

When I first read the new chapter, I was scared that NH would become canon. But after thinking about it and consulting with my brother (Mathias OSX), I found that I didn't care any longer. I don't think that one event like this would change Naruto's mind after he fancied Sakura for so many years. Also, considering how dense Naruto is, I don't think he even realises exactly what Hinata is trying to say. Another thing is that if Kishimoto wants to make NH canon, then why did he give Sakura a panel? There was no need to for the story, and it didn't affect the plot. But, I'm new to this so whatever. That's just what I think.
