But he’s surprised to discover that this new Kira has an ability even Light himself lacks…”

Winner #1: Alicia R. Thomas
“Though in the beginning my favorite was L, before I knew it, my favorite character became none other than the lead character, Light Yagami/Kira.  He’s my favorite because in watching the series he tapped into the darkest corners of the viewers mind. He showed just how twisted and manipulative a person could become when they possessed unearthly power.Watching his progression from a seemingly noble cause, to pure, power-hungry insanity.”

“With every well-thought plan, every twist, turn, and setback I found my own heart racing and I became rather emotionally attached to the character and his struggle.  You end up asking yourself if you’d be any different if you were in his position.  His character is rich and deep, in the darkest and most forbidden ways… he really draws a lot of excitement from the viewer (or me at least) and therefor, he’s my favorite.”

Winner #2: Faust721
“Amane Misa for me because she is voiced by Hirano Aya. Yes, a very shallow reason, but i was never really attached to the characters but rather the atmosphere of the show.”

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who entered. Keep an eye out for more contests from The Anime Blog! Here are a few of our past anime giveaways.

Don’t foget to enter to win tickets to see Death Note II: The Last Name at a theater near you! The contest ends today at 12:00pm CST!
