Before it was an anime or manga, the story of Haruhi Suzumiya was originally a series of light novels (aka: books with pictures) released in Japan. It is the tale of an energetic-but-jerkish high school girl, Haruhi Suzumiya, and her exploits with the school club she forms with her classmates Kyon (the cynical narrator), Yuki (an emotionless book-lover), Mikuru (a shy upperclassman), and Itsuki (an overly-friendly exchange student) to search for the mysterious and supernatural. And then a twist is revealed that changes the genre of the whole thing altogether.

Based on the movie spun off from the movies based on the anime based on the manga, L:Change The World tells the tale of the Death Note detective’s final case, one in which the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

After the death of the Big Bad Wolf at the hands of Red Riding Hood and the Woodcutter several years ago, all has been peaceful in Story Land. Following the Woodcutter’s mysterious death, however, a plague spreads across the kingdom, turning its residents (and more than a few beloved storybook characters) into shambling monstrosities. It’s up to Red Riding Hood and her friend Momotaro (of Japanese folklore) to trace the plague to its source, and burn any zombie that gets in their way.
