Fringe

Finished the manga. Was pretty good. I really liked the mind battles between Light and L.

OniTenshi

Haven't seen it or read the manga, but have heard very promising things about the series, i may have a look into it sometime over the next couple of weeks

Frelance

Iv been watching the anime, havent read the manga
Am enjoying it very much

Condoriano

Definatly one of the best animes I have ever seen.
I really hope they release the movies over here!

User45701

i havent seen the movies just the first 7 episodes and the eight is comming out next week. its a great anamie

Sesshoumaru

I never read the manga or even heard of it. But I was bored and started watching the anime series. Lucky me! This is one of the best anime series I've seen in a while. The battle between L and Light is so fascinating. Although I felt quite sad after watching episode 7 last week. Light really can be a right b*stard when he wants to be!

User45701

just watched 8, it reley is a good show im enjoying it i normelly dont like anamie

CarefulNow

Brilliant anime. I'm hooked on it.

Kur4mA

I've just started getting all available episodes of this now. I'm looking forward to it from what you guys have said.

Spoderman

Waiting on Vols 1 & 2 to arrive from amazon. Ordered them last week on a whim really as I was looking for another series to read.

Sounds like Ragnorak. Is it?

User45701

here i don't know where else to post so little help please

i don't watch much anamie so i googled it and i checked tv.com and myepisodes and ragetv and episodegude.com

i don't know where to look for info on the series are there any anamie sites with series info?

i want to know what the movies are about and if i should watch them or not i read that there where 108 issues of the manga so does that mean only 108 episodes?

"wikipedia

Death Note (デスノート, Desu Nōto?) is a Japanese manga series originally written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The series primarily centers around a high school student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.

Death Note first began as a manga series first serialized by Shueisha in Weekly Shonen Jump from the first issue in December 2003 to May 2006, with 108 chapters in total. The series has been published in its entirety in 12 graphic novels in Japan. Death Note was eventually licensed for North American publication by VIZ Media,[1] and the first English language volume was released on October 4, 2005.[2] The series has been adapted into a pair of live-action films (released in Japan on June 17, 2006 and November 3, 2006 respectively),[3] and an anime series which commenced airing in Japan on October 3, 2006.[4]"

So the movies have nothing to do with the series then?

Makaveli

No, they're live action films (real people not animated).

The cgi work done on The shinigami look awesome in the film.
saw a trailer for it on youtube. Hopefully it gets subbed and released over here:D

CuLT

Three indispensable sites for anime information:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com
http://www.animenfo.com
http://anidb.net

Saruwatari

Yeah, Anime News Network is awesome.
I've only read a the first few chapters of the manga, and I'll be getting the full volume for Chrimbo, so when I get into the manga more, I'll probably get into the anime then.

User45701

episode 9, EPISODE 9!!!!
you have to watch it it was brilliant i just wish TD had this show but wow episode 9 was reley reley good this is defiantly the best anamie ive seen

Spoderman

Read Vol 1 & 2. Very impressed, not at all what I imagined it would be like.

Vols 3-6 ordered and hopefully will arrive tomorrow.

The way that L figures stuff out really reminds me of Inspector Himuro from Remote (which is prob my favourite series).

User45701

Incase anyone is interested Death note has changed its schedule
Its now on a Wed night episode 10 is tomorrow and the rest of the episodes will follow. Im glad this show is not taking a mid season break like US shows do

User45701

Anyone see episode 10 yet? what did u guys think of it?
I relay enjoyed it, tbh im more looking forward to new eps of this than i am new eps of scrubs

OniTenshi

Watched 10 last night, i have to say its been a very impressive series so far, going manga hunting now :rolleyes:

Although it has to be said the intro is absolute muck

User45701

i don't think any anamie has had a good intro TBH, im glad anamies have less of that type of comedy that i hate whatever its called, u know the type of anamie comedy i mean i wish i could describe it...

Makaveli

Most vague post ever.

User45701

the weird thing where the animation changed and they express shock or disbelievment at something

wayne040576

Seems death note was licensed by viz:

The guy

Where ever will I get my subbed death note now?

User45701

ye i know it sucks no live-evil subs TW has stoped aswell i saw it up in frech subs only what a load of crap. i know its on that crappy video streaming site but i hate that site and i am not going to watch it on them.

Guess ill have to wait to watch it
how long do we have to wait now?

carl_

*yoink* are continuing. Dunno how good a job they do though.

Makaveli

I'd edit that post to remove that link.
Once a series is licensed discussion of where to obtain episodes is no longer allowed.

That download to own/rent scheme seems interesting enough, I wonder though will it only be available to those in the US. I also wonder will it be subbed or dubbed. At least there will be ongoing releases and it wont just stall completely until the dvds are released.

It'll only be available to the US. Video on demand services are usually only available to the domestic audience.

Saw this pisstake of death note on the Something Awful forums. Thought it was kinda funny.

User45701

anyone seen the newer episodes? i thought that 13 and 14 where quite good.

OniTenshi

Yeah things are really starting to move along now, still as engaging as ever, it really is a top class story

Sesshoumaru

A poll would be interesting now. Who are you rooting for? L or Light?

Has anyone watched episode 15 yet? The story is so intense I find it hard to wait for each episode.

OniTenshi

Oh its gotta be Light! and yeah i've seen 15, but i also am a good bit ahead of that as I've been working through the manga but it's always great to get an episode of the anime, its lovely to see it all in colour!

User45701

Episode 15 was class did not see it coming at all i love this show

Sesshoumaru

Has anyone watched 16 yet? It was kind of clear what Light was planning to do based on what happened at the end of 15. But I'm so damn curious what his next move is now. Come on..... hurry up 17!!

User45701

Ye 16 was so good i cant get over it.
Did not see that comming at all and well worth a 2nd watch

Lolz you'd think so, but there's nothing clear about it! I love that Lights name can be interpreted as white knight/knight of light (roughly) but there are also connections to Lucifer...so you get to decide which one best suits him and his actions...

Sesshoumaru

I was thinking Light must have known that once he gave up the death note, Ryuk would find an alternative owner for the notebook. So while the deaths would stop for a little while, it was only a matter of time before the notebook ended up in the hands of someone willing to continue Lights good work Now what I am trying to figure out is how is he going to get another death note? Rem and Light seemed to share a meaningful glance at each other near the start of 16.... Will she come back and give Light a notebook again once he has been released? Its all so exciting

It seems that Light is also genuinely horrified at the murders Kira has commited. If he does get another death note how will he feel about it then if his previous memories never come back?

af_thefragile

Death Note's probably the best anime i've ever watched!! Its brilliant!!
You've gotta watch episode 10. Episode 10 is absolutey brilliant!!

I was a little confused after watching episode 16.. but thanks sesshoumaru for ur explanation of it. Light absolutely a genious!! Although he's becoming more and more evil through every episode. Well, death note is genious!!

Was a lil dissapointed to see the episode 17 was not yet released. Does anyone know when the episode 17 is goin to release?? i cant wait for it!!! I dont wanna read the manga and spoil the anime for me. I've started to love the anime! cant wait for episode 17!!

Makaveli

Airs on a Tuesday night in Japan afaik.

i'm only up to ep15 on this. imo this is fairly crap, its for the want of a better word uneventful. light seems to have stopped killing people, or is that taken for as given that he is still killing the masses in his spare time.

also whats up the voice for misa or the whole character for that matter. thats one thing i hate about anime, where the women are always saying "sugoi" in girly voices and drooling over the men.

that link which carl posted about light deciding whether to get mcdonalds or burger king sums up the stupidity of the logic in this show.

You've watched a lot of episodes for someone who doesn't enjoy the anime!!! I also read the pisstake and thought it was funny. I still think Death Note is fantastic, I can't wait to watch episode 17.

sme

i'm just wired that way, when i start watching something i'll finish it no matter how crap it is. or could be that the last few things ive watched were super classic and death note pales in comparision./

I haven't watched it yet, but I see it was done by a group thats never fansubbed before. I might wait just a little longer for a higher quality one

User45701

They're absolutely superb. BUY ONE NOW!
Death Note is hardly a concept that will work well as a game though...

I don't know tman, the faster you scribble on the DS pad, the more people die.

With dramatic music playing, of course!
