Death Note spinoff: L change the WorLd review (this was typed entirely by two index fingers.)
pardon the profile pic, but it reflects the human heart so much. anyway, as a bad Anime critic and part-time movie critic i have to put aside amnd bias (although this is very nhard) and review the film truthfull;y.
spoilerrrr:
L has only 23 days left to live, so he solved all the cases that were sent to him (which displayed how good L/Kenichi-san is at speak9ing Italian/French/eNGLISH AMND ESPECIALLY BRILLIANT IN jAPANESE) then came a case about a virus weapon that is, well, worse thana weapon. it turns out that the one who created this weapon was one of L's socalled colleague (i couldnt think of any lother suitable wayh to term), K(see what i mean). K (real name Kujo Kimiko) was working in a bio-infectious disease centre or something like that. so she has this very talented colleague (this, is really the appropriate term) who destroyed the antidote he created when he heard of her plan to use the weapon to significantly reduce the human population. (and then whcih he destroyed himself, as in literally by injecting himself with the virus and not giving kujo his daughter) so the daughter saw his death and went to watari's place like her father told her to earlier. so L ended up babysitting two kids (the first one is a boy who doesnt seem to be affected by thwe virus in his village). together they try all means to create another antidote and change the world
the story revolves much around Watari although he's kind of (to be politically correct) inanimated. it's more like a filler episode rather than the end tof L's life. in conclusion it was pretty disappointing because the film was more action than thinking, uinlike Death Note 1 and 2. but thanks to the movie we got to see the other side of L, although not really official, but still! the fbi agent that appeared out of nowhere seemed like a last minute coincidental problem solver. he co nveniently popped out when L was escaping from kujo saying he's sent here to help since Watari died and becomes and chauffuer (and decoy). his truwe aim was to retrieve the Death Note from L by gaining his trust but in the end whcihc he never did and ended up helping L somemore. he's more like a convenient comic relief than part of the show. but all i n all there was enough Kenichi Matsuyama to go around and let us admire him. (at the end of the movie he HUGGED the girl!! kyaaaaaaaa) *oh kira i m a fangirl, kill me*
and heres one ULTRA UBER BIG SHOCK YOU ROCK YOU SUPERISH OH MY EFFING GODDISH SPOILER (and the caps lock isnt typos!)
THE BOY WAS NAMED NEAR!!!!!!!!
oh yes it was shocking. overall i wouyld give it a 6.7/10 compared to Death Note (9.99/10) and Death Note: The Last Name (9/10). so yeah, if you're looking for Kenichi and L's outside life and Japanese action movie enjoyment and pdont mind a filler go ahead :)
i've watched it two times :)
Kenichi would be such a good Renji
