A Walk Down Yagami Road
When I was looking for art for that NPR Death Note article, I came across this really awesome cosplay shot, taken back in October, at Poxline. As far as I can tell it hasn’t been passed around by the blogs much, so…let’s get it goin’!
I hereby call for a doujinshi based on the concept: “Beatle Note.” Anyone whose name is written in the notebook grows their hair out long, marries Yoko Ono, and then gets shot five times in the back.
By the way, the NPR segment on Death Note is now online, and it’s a nice, positive piece. No real talk of the varying controversies, and “critic-at-large” (…) John Powers pretty much faps all over it. I especially love the part where he says that Death Note is “a show for brainy kids.” All in all, some positive coverage for a show that unfortunately tends towards the less positive.

If you want to see more of that group’s cosplay, they have a DA account: http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/gallery/
They do a bunch of different series; all with good costume renditions and nice camera work.

I came across this a few months ago, they did some really cool shoots.

…and if you read the notebook backwards it says “L IS DEAD” over and over?

L has shoes on. FAIL.

Erm. Duh. If you were in a restricted area and could risk stepping on broken glass, I would wear shoes too.
Even as L.
