i hated Near actually...cuz the fact that a little brat outwit KIRA so drastically just doesn't make sense(like Inception lol) .Actually I thought of an alternate sequel to Death Note, in the event which Light survives.

I admire Light's intellect and calmness. His intentions were pure but once a man has power, it just keeps growing. I'm not a freak or anything but somehow he triggered a hidden personality of mine, or probably many teenagers. Like those hatred you accumulated and you can relish your anger by simply writing names(convenient huh).I was so possessed but couldn't help it and realised it became a part of me .

However those negative energy kinda subsided after awhile.
I'm learning to control my unstable emotions.
Utada Hikaru impacted me greatly. Her compassion as a human fueled me spiritually and gave me a new aspect of life.
For the first time, I respect a woman so much

speaking of GITS ..im not sure the chronology..where do i start watching from

Have you watched Gurren Lagann too?
