- It's even better when read by The Holy Cabbage. This comment on one of their videos probably says it best: "And the playlist becomes complete… feels good man. This story makes me dizzy. It is just… mind-blowing. I have to say that I re-watched Death Note recently and I shit you not, during episode two I began to think “Why hasn’t Dark shown up yet…?” After a moment of thought I face-palmed at what I was thinking. It’s like this fic has become the canon in my mind and the actual show has become the fanfiction."
