I just watched the first episode (so no untagged spoilers, please!)

This is absolutely fantastic. The animation is GORGEOUS.

Who knew that writing names could be so dramatic? Gant

I just love Death Note! My lil sis got me into it and it is one of favorite mangas so far! And the artwork and storyline is so astounding, I was constantly on the edge of my seat the whole time as I flipped each page! My favorite character has got to be L as he is so cunning and just so random!

I love the first half of the series, when its L vs Light, but the second half was much more intense and intriguing.

I treat them rather different though, considering how the style of story changes from 'battle of the wits' between two people to a much broader conflict. Although, perhaps broader isn't the right word since...
Spoiler:
It was still Light VS Near, but just with Light semi-ruling society.

True, true, but don't forget about...

Spoiler:
Mello and his magical chocolate bar that never runs out! He did help, even if it was his death that helped. :/


Maaan I loved the manga so much. I've even got the special 'how to read' 13th book in the series, that contains the original death note story. Minuki Haven't watched the anime though...

I loved Mello. Near was an ass.

Spoiler: Mello and Near
I'd have much preferred Near getting killed. Near was basically a more heartless L with no personality. Which he maybe was supposed to be, actually, now that I think about it. Mello was fun at least and was much more passionate. I kept getting the feeling Near could care less.

Once again, I agree.
L and Mello were undoubtedly my favourite characters in the series...
Ryuuku was cool too.
Although...

Spoiler:
Near's fingerpuppets made me laugh. (Kira the hamburglar...) I have those too, they came with the special volume. :D

Aww, I remember Raye. I felt sorry for his fiancee too, you'll feel more sorry for her as you see more. :(

Also...
Damn right L kicks ass. ;)
Though you never ever find out his true name in the anime or manga...
In the special volume, there was this envelope with this card, and on the card was his name.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. XD

I got my episodes from Deathfan.com. Its direct download, but the quality is pretty good. I think they have bittorent on there, and they keep up with the weekly releases of the episodes. I haven't watched the anime in so long, but if its staying the same as the story in the manga, then I'll know whats going on!

Spoiler:
L doesn't die in the anime too, does he? I saw Near and Mellow in the opening credits of the second season, so I'm guessing he does. Larry

Spoiler:
L dies in the anime as well. Personally, I found L's death somewhat touching, in a poetically moving way. That is, if I remember correctly. But basically, in the end, if I got it right, he considered Light his first real friend and had really hoped he wasn't Kira, and thus, gave up the few chances he had of nailing Light, which ultimately lead to his death.

I read it and got bored at the third volume.

I watched it and got bored around at the same time..

BUT my friend likes it a lot, I bought her the first volume for her birthday since she said that she wanted to see what manga actually is. I am SO glad I didn't go with the generic "Since she's a beginner, I'll get her Naruto/Inuyasha". Even IF I created another "Raito" fangirl

Death Note is awesome. I only saw the first few episodes of the anime when it started but I had read half the manga before the anime came out. I still need to finish the manga. *bites into apple* ... Now red apples remind me of Death Note.

Spoiler: For Halfway through the manga.
My favorite character, L, died and I read only a few chapters afterwards so I didn't get to really see much of Mello and Near. I thought Light was a bastard and L was one of the main reasons I kept reading it, so after he died I didn't feel like continuing it anymore. Some friends of mine keep telling me to finish it, though, so I'll get to it eventually. I'll probably finish the anime afterwards.


By the way,

Spoiler: Ryuazaki's name
Is L's full name L Lawliet or just Lawliet? Any name with "lawl" in it is awesome, anyway.


Also, the anime's second opening theme is great. Madhouse's animation just gets better and better. Random information that I find interesting: L's Japanese voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, also does Usopp's voice in One Piece and Inuyasha in... um... Inuyasha.

Spoiler:
Yea, I personally feel sorry for L because he was just a poor lonely guy who just wanted a friend and Light has to go all evil on the poor guy and kill him. If you ask me, Light is a pretty twisted guy who deserves to be in a home! I had mixed feelings when the end of Death Note came about. Sure I hated Light for killing L and was glad he died, but at the same time, I kinda wanted him to win against Near, but probably because Near was just a L wanna-be!


Wow.... sure are alot of spoiler tags here...

It's nice to see from all the remarks that DeathNote doesn't become boring and repetetive. I've only read the first four mangas and was not too sure I wanted to keep going. You guys pushed me over the edge. I guess I'll pony up the money to finish it.

Well, if you consider Light having to write a person's name down every time he wants to kill someone, then yea, its repetitive. But as far as storyline goes, I don't find it repetitive at all.

Amen to that. Though I did like a few of his quirks.(Like how he'd build stuff out of random things.) Not his personality mind you.

The problem was Near didn't have a personality. And I also think that was the point. It was basically an in your face way of saying "This is what would have happened if L went up against Light and didn't have any relationship with him; a straight, no hold, barred match". L considered Light his best friend and was doing it because he was all justice-ey and stuff.

Near was just doing it because he was a tool. Also, he figured everything out far too soon. If anybody was a Mary Sue character, it was Near. He had no personality, no real motives that I could remember, and was basically there to put an unstoppable wrench into Light's plans.

I personally like Near, though I can see why others don't so I don't have much to argue.

One thing, though: He did have motives, and he stated them very clearly.

Spoiler:
1. In volume...was it 9 or 10...?...anyway, when he was holding Mogi hostage, he said that him and Mello wanted revenge on Kira for killing L because L was the only person that the two of them respected. He said that they adored Mello.

But Mello was wanting revenge more than Near was. Near's main motive was that he hated Kira. He said it right at the end, when Light had confessed and was explaining why he thought he wasn't evil. Near responded with "No. You're just a murderer. That's all you are. What I'm about to say may sound shocking, but I could understand someone who kills for their themselves. I would even consider them normal." and then he goes on to say that nobody is God. He says that he thinks it's wrong to decide that you have the one right view and force it on everyone. He says that if everybody else doesn't think that Kira's ideals are right, if they don't think Kira is justice, then forcing his opinion on them and killing is wrong.

Near is very unemotional. He's unemotional to the point that he can watch all of his subordinates die around him, show no reaction, and then calmly think of the rational thing to do next. This makes him seem inhuman and creepy, though I find it sort of interesting. But he hates Kira. He hates Kira and he has good reasons to hate Kira, and I respect him for that. He also is very smart, so I respect him for that too. Overall, he fell short of my list of favorite characters, there were many I liked more, but I like him and I don't think Near was an L wannabe. He was very different from L in many ways. They viewed things differently--L cared about winning, but Near said that if it was a matter of winning or losing then if he lost, that was fine. They had different methods of doing things. They weren't the same at all.

I also think that in some ways Near is better than Mello. Mello was far more emotional than Near, and he had more ambition and I adored him at the end when he basically commited suicide to help Near, and then was sorry when Matt died. Mello was a fun character with a lot of personality and a cool design. But Mello was very heartless. He was able to kill people and show no reaction about what he was doing. He didn't hate Kira for being Kira, he hated Kira for killing L. The part of Mello's dynamic where he adored L was very interesting and adorable imo, but I think that Near had the better position and morals even if he was less emotional.


Out of curiosity: Has anyone here read the DN novel? I thought it was made of win and awesome. B was a very interesting character and I was fangirling over Naomi like crazy the whole time. The ending also made me love LxNaomi like woah.

I haven't read Death Note in such a long time that I couldn't remember.

Spoiler:
But now that just makes me like Near even less. It's so much of a plot device that it's not even funny. By the end of it, it just seemed very forced and Near's character felt more like a way to just kill Light then any actual character.

I just finished reading Volume 1 today. It was fantastic! It had me on edge the whole time thinking about what would happen next. The end of the final chapter threw me for one big loop.

Spoiler:
The way Light used the torn out sheet of paper from the Death Note was so slick it wasn't even funny. I can't wait to buy the next volume and see what he does next.

Okay, in the beginning I was totally enthralled by Death Note.

Great characters, great concept, interesting story, and immaculate execution.

And then it jumps 6 years into the future and I'm all like "cool, Light's chilling and everything's cool".

But then I started to get this strange feeling, like something was horribly wrong. All pleasure from watching the show slowly seeped away, and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth.

And then I realized it.

It's like the 2013 or something and nobody, I mean NOBODY in the whole fucking show has a fucking jetpack! What the fuck?!?

If there are no widely available jetpacks in the next five years I really have nothing left to live for.

Fuck you Light Yagami. Where's your fucking jetpack? FUCK YOU!
