I always been a cinéphile, but I was a bit disappointed with Hollywood films; some are great, but most are too average.  Because of this, I started to watch manga animation.  Ten years ago, I fell in love with a manga called Deathnote – the story is so well structured, intelligent, original and addictive that it inspired me to reach the same level of storytelling greatness.
