Well I'm about episode 13 deep in the Death Note anime series. I saw both live action movies pertaining to it about a year ago and I'm definitely seeing the differences, especially when it comes to Misa. She seems much more sadistic and evil in the anime.

I'm rather interested in the third Death Note-related movie that was released in Japan recently, L: Change the World. I'm not hearing many positive reviews for it, but I did really like the kid who plays L in the movies.

I heard from a few sources they were going to release it in the U.S. sometime this month, but I'm afraid there's no such luck.

Oh well, I suppose there's always waiting for it to hit the net as a fansub.

P.S. Shuyin you going to Anime Expo this year?

I still need to see those two movies. I doubt they'd be able to fit everything from the series into two movies, so I suspect lots will be cut out?

The movies leave out Near and Mello. Since I haven't seen the anime all the through, I've also heard the movie's ending was changed to accommodate that and other parts that were cut for time.

They did seem to try and match the anime when it came to what they kept in and didn't change.

Some of the scenes with a comparison to the anime:


If you're wondering why the person who made the video selected "California" for the song, it's because that's what was used in the trailers. I don't know why, and I'm not complaining, but yeah.

This anime is just too badass. Watched 8 episodes today, it seems like something I'll be finishing really fast, it's just amazing!

I've seen this comparison made before, but the main character Light is a lot like Lelouch from Code Geass. The heroes can definitely be seen as an enemy/evil as well, so it's really unique (especially with Death Note episode 7, jeeze!) this kind of personality doesn't seem too typical.

Mature, compelling, takes itself seriously, etc, this series seems incredible so far.

I'm up to episode 28 now. And yeah, after reading a few people's comments in regards to the movie it seems the first film covers the first 10 episodes or so, and the sequel, The Last Name covers up to episode 25 and ends it there. Hence why you won't see Mello or Near.

Then again they could be in the third movie that came out recently pertaining specifically to L.

I'm getting really annoyed with my situation right now. I can't watch the show during the day as the house I babysit at doesn't have a computer with Internet access and I don't get to watch many episodes at home at the end of the day. Gah!!

MUST. WATCH. AHHHHHHH!!!

So I'm (about to) finish Death Note, after just starting it two days ago.



I think it's great but could've been better. It started off so incredibly well, but I think it loses its touch a bit around like episode 12 or so.
Spoiler:
When Light gives the Death Note back and teams up with L in a sense for awhile, it was still cool but I thought it was far more interesting when it was Light vs L like the beginning. And I think they could've made Misa more interesting. All in all, the L arc was definitely fun. After that I don't think it's as bad as some people say, but it's definitely not as good. Near and Mello aren't nearly as interesting. Now I'm just waiting to see Kira take over the world or something.

The end of the series I really liked. It was good stuff. Pretty tense for a bit!

I don't know what to think of it.

Spoiler:
Seems a bit predictable, I guess they couldn't have had Light/Kira take over the world. I just finished it and usually at first I don't know what to think of anime endings, but in time over the next few days I'll probably like it more.

Looking at it as a tragedy, yeah it's pretty good and emotional. I guess I do like it. Lol

Kind of sucks he was defeated by Mello and Near though, I didn't really care for them.

I actually really got to like Near. Mello not so much.

Near's sort of like L's little brother.

I used to like Light, but over time I just started hating him more and more. Misa too. She just got absurdly aggravating to watch.
