Re: Kindaichi, the 7 mummies story is completely nutzo. I mean, if I were a person with that kind of murderous grudge (which I am not), I would just kill those who had done me wrong and not go to such elaborate lengths just to... oh hell, just read it. @_@;; Pure crazy from start to finish, but so much fun.
Re: DN, I see what you're saying: it's too cartoony to properly handle its actual subject matter. Is that what you meant? And, yeah, when I think about it, I do agree with you. Other than the chosen characters, the criminals who are executed are nothing more than cyphers, though they surely must have had friends and families who mourned their loss. Light never truly feels remorse for his crimes, only remorse for being caught. It's ironic that the most moral statements come from Matsuda, he of comic relief status during the main story. Maybe the pacing of the catharsis is all wrong at the end...
