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.

FYI, today’s episode of NPR’s WHYY show will include a segment on the Death Note anime, according to the official page. Audio for the show will go up at 3pm EST. I think I’ll be running around scoring a new coffee table at that exact moment, but I thought I’d give y’all a heads up. ♥

I’m not exactly sure what will be discussed– just the show itself, or some of the controversy surrounding it (i.e. all those kids who get in trouble for making their own death notes)? Hm~!
