"The course will be focused on the question: What is Justice? We will do so by analyzing the Japanese Anime, Death Note, featuring a young genius, named Light Yagami, who seeks to create justice in the world through a mass murder of criminals. The original twelve volume series has gone on to sell over 26 million copies, and has received nominated for several awards such as "Best Manga at the 2006 American Anime Awards, the 2007 , an Official Selection at 2008, and Obata was nominated for Best Penciller/Inker at the 2008 s." The protagonist's voice actor also won the "Best Voice Actor" award at the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2008. In addition to the successful Anime adaptation, there have since been three live-action movies, three video games, and two spin-off novels from the material. The series has since been banned in several cities, primarily in China, to protect the physical and mental health of young students, as well as to avoid the copycat crimes that had been occurring throughout the world. We will be using Death Note as a lens to look critically at current events such as the drone strikes in the Middle East, and discuss whether or not such actions are just. The course will address aspects of vigiliantism, as well as the morality within murder. Overall, we ask students to keep an open mind and to challenge their preconceived notions of justice based upon what is actually happening in the world."

"Sis, this is amazing. She's the ideal girl that doesn't think that the things I say are strange! Sure, she's a little weird, but she's so worried about having trashed my room that she wants to use a flamethrower to burn... burn... burn!?"

"Talho: Hey, Holland, do think that maybe... Holland: I think its obvious. Renton chose to become one of them - a true hero, more so than his own father."

"Nirvash: (to Renton and Eureka) Thank you. Renton: Nirvash? Nirvash: Renton, Eureka, your emotion have been engraved forever into my Compac. Finally, I will be able to attain enlightment. (as the command cluster break apart) Now live on this planet. Go and live together and show the way all that live on this precious world, using the brilliant light called "hope." Eureka: Nirvash? (Nirvash starts to disappear in a bright light and green orbs form a circle of trapar around the planet) Nirvash: Not all the beings can remain on this land. Half will depart together with us. However, Renton, Eureka, if on this planet an evolution takes place for the better and the two are able to become one, we will return and show ourselves in front of you once again. I believe that such a day will some day come. (after Nirvash disappears) Eureka: Thank you, Nirvash. Renton: Thank you, everyone. Eureka: Renton, let's go home. Renton: Yeah, home to our planet. (they share a second kiss and fall towards the planet's surface)"

"(after breaking through the Zone) Renton: Don't just say "bye-bye". Don't try to go all by yourself. Eureka: (happy and crying) You came, Renton! You really came! Renton: Of course. I made a promise, didn't I? That we would always be together forever. Eureka: But you don't understand. I cant go back anymore. Renton: If you're making a choice; you want to give being a Coralian in order to save this planet, I choose not to be human. (he approaches her and they look at each other) Eureka: Huh? Renton: I cherish this planet I met you on and everyone on it. They're all dear to me, but I'm not willing to lose you for their sake. (he puts a flower hairclip in her hair) There, that's better. Eureka: Renton? Renton: Eureka, let's become one. I won't let you be alone. Eureka: (nods) Yes. If I'm with you, Renton, I can do anything. (they share their first kiss and the Second Summer of Love is activated)"
