Death Note

Description:
Light, a bright student who stumbles across a mystical notebook that has the power to kill any person whose name he writes in it. Light decides to launch a secret crusade to rid the streets of criminals. Soon, the student-turned-vigilante finds himself pursued by a famous FBI criminal pro-filer known only by the alias L.
                                                
Awesome, forgot a lot from when I first watched, enough to merge the two movies mentally in my head. So I was sort of heartbroken at the end  when I thought there was more. I like how no one pays attention to what Light really says, since many times it's like blinking lights going "I am Kira!". Loved Ryuk's addiction to apples and his slight need for attention. Liked the strategies that both "L" and "Kira" use in their little game, and honestly thought that something would be messed up before I watched it the first time, but I feel that they did a great job.

Hotaru no Hikaru (glow of the firefly)

Description:
Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto.
Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife, comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru. He turns out to be her boss, Takano.
                          
At times I wanted to straggle the characters...but it is a drama so that is expected to happen, since there needed to be conflict. The end was disappointing to me and seems like nothing really happened. It kinda of surprised me that most of the show takes place in just one summer....
