Spoiler for movie ending:

Light tricks the shinigami into killing L and Watari (like in the anime).  Shinigami dies as a result.  However later, L appears again - apparently he gained possession of Misa's notebook (and gave her a duplicate, similar to what happened in later half of anime), and because he had the notebook, he didn't really die when the shinigami wrote his name in the book.

Not exactly invincible, but invincible against the Death Note at least.

Then who wins?

Finished watching Tears to Tiara.  Sort of breaking my own rule there (having previous played it in another medium sort of also counts as making this a re-watch), but I was originally watching this more for the action and stuff than anything.  Anyway, I thought it was pretty decent, it avoids a lot of the stuff I didn't really like about the game (less of that waifu poo poo, and less slice of life stuff).  They attempted to fix the ending too, but didn't really succeed much at that (in my opinion).  One thing that sort of annoyed me is that most of the battles just completely focus on the main characters beating everyone up.  While this may be true in the game, the reasoning there is that it's a fucking game and that's what happens in games.  Imo the anime should have portrayed the battles more as battles between armies (like in Guin Saga for example), that would have been more realistic.  The game also had this extremely touching bit around 3/4 to the end, and watching that brings back memories.

8/10 probably (probably overrated, may get revised down later).



Talk about revisions, for recent stuff I still remember...

Railgun 8 » 7.5 (7 in MyAnimeList).  I just got reminded how bad the starting 1/3 or so of the show was, after listening to my sister talking about that.
Angel Beats 7 » 7.5 (still 7 in MAL).
Kara no Kyoukai 5, 9.5 » 9 (10 » 9 in MAL).  Not really 10.  Adjusted the rest of KnK movies accordingly.
Someday's Dreamers 6 » 5
Akikan 6 » 5.  Wins most cliche award for ending.

Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo 8 » 9 in vndb.  It's actually like 8.5, but vndb only accepts whole numbers, and probably closer to 9 than 8.  Well, it's better than both Saya no Uta and Ever17, both of which I have at 8.
Cross Channel 7 » 7.5 (still 7 in vndb).  Hah, I really didn't like Cross Channel all that much.  Shows that a good ending isn't everything.
Tears to Tiara 7 » 7.5 (still 7 in vndb).

Also, Haruka can never escape her destiny of getting run over.  Not anywhere.

Also, here's the quarterly "bitch at zinga to update his MyAnimeList" post....  So yeah, go update it :P.
