Death Note

[SilverKunai]

Well. A dark and great manga. It even has two live movies. So what would we discuss about this?

[wildstriker]

Hardly anything, except that justice always wins in the end. :)

[7xRedx7]

Yeah, and Heart attacks are overrated. :):)

[Kay]

kira's minion is stupid,kira can win but he just like to mess everything up...

[wildstriker]

They're all as mentally defected as him anyway...

[Kay]

he well in other hand are better than his underling but wth the artist make him die like a fool pssh near shud die and stupid police...wtf he shoot kira!?!? i hate good ending

[ValkyrieEG]

Kira is probably the most twisted main charcter you will ever meet.
But we still love him.

The manga is full of death, death, and mentally twisted bishounens.
Why is the manga so popular?
I'm guessing it's the bishounens.

[Kay]

while for me i think it plain cool to see all mortal phear of a note

[wildstriker]

Because it's battle of wits that's really rare on shounen manga?, rather than brainless chooping & fighting using soul blades, ninja techniques, devil fruits :D

[Kay]

just say it,artist nowaday arent smart lol

[ValkyrieEG]

But the person who wrote Death Note didn't draw it o_O???

and NAruto has some good strategy fights many times throughout the story (One Piece too)

I still think its the bishounens -_-;;

[CheshireCat]

Because it's battle of wits that's really rare on shounen manga?, rather than brainless chooping & fighting using soul blades, ninja techniques, devil fruits :D


I totally agree. This is something that makes Death Note stand out.

[SKATEateer]

yeah death note was really crazy.. a thrill ride for sure

[Kay]

if you see the anime,you shud see how kira write their name at DN

[Dark Schneider]

L arc is one of the greatest manga arcs of all time. Unfortunately it should have ended where L died, they opted to continue the story and ending up ruining it with the final few chapters.

[DisturbedMind]

All I can say is that it is one of my favorites of all time. Thank God someone told a story where the main character has that much depth. I was cheering for Light all the way, and hated those bastards Mello and Near. I wanted to see them violated in the most horrific fashion imaginable.

[FoRgOtTeN38]

yea 2 bad the ending was not that good he didnt show even half the skill he showed when he got L. The L arc was the best and i believe if they would have continued in that pace that would've made the best manga thriller ever. Although i still think this is the best manga when it comes to the strategies they've used to get each other.

[wildstriker]

I personally liked how Light get his *** served in the end by Near....

[DisturbedMind]

I can't say that it wasn't good....but I just
absolutely hate M and N with the white hot passion of a thousand suns

sorry about the spoiler thing...just wanted to see if I could do it.

[wildstriker]

nvm..., If you teach me how to do it too :D

[DisturbedMind]

yeah, and I wish people used it here...what you do is follow this template and just take the spaces out....

[ spoiler ]what you want to spoil[ /spoiler ]

The only reason I know this is I've been on an anime site called www.otakucenter.com
and I have limited mod rights there inside the group I belong to.

[DisturbedMind]

I joined these forums b/c I enjoyed the anime site forum so much.

[wildstriker]

light is an *** down to the core

It worked I guess, thx for that disturbed.

[DisturbedMind]

not a problem...If you got any other questions/problems then let me know...I may be able to help.....I'll surely be on here alot, I've been reading the manga here for awhile now.

[FoRgOtTeN38]

light is an *** down to the core

It worked I guess, thx for that disturbed.


that's what makes him special

[DisturbedMind]

I just think he has the largest ego ever in manga/anime

[FoRgOtTeN38]

not really i mean if anybody in highschool gets a power to kill peopl with a pen u would expect a much larger ego (also not to mention that he wasn't a dumb one)

[wildstriker]

Except he's mentally defected since the beginning.

[SKATEateer]

hes a lunatic the main guy
he was bound to die

but i feel bad for poor misa misa :[

[7xRedx7]

If I remember correctly, the anime Kira has a laser writing pen right?
That would SURELY boost my ego. ;)

[Kay]

it inspire everey children to learn writing lol

[wildstriker]

Just hopefully they won't have his twisted mind.

[Kay]

or his egoness

[7xRedx7]

or the maniacal face he wears when he thinks he's won.
Gawd that's creepy.

[wildstriker]

or even his maniacal face when he realized he had lost....

[7xRedx7]

^^
*shudder*

That plus the laser writing pen would make a truly fearsome foe. :D:D

[Kay]

laser writing lol,they didnt teach us when we are at school :(

[wildstriker]

Because it's just as pointless to do so...

[Kay]

but....but its wicked cool :D

[wildstriker]

Not If without the Death Not to write at.... ;)

[Kay]

.....i got one replica of death note...

[tsunade666]

I don't read the thread just post my thoughts about this crazy manga :lol:
The first thing first light is stupid thinking to be a god I liked his motivation but the whole notebooke thingy use to kill useless people is just massive murder:)
I liked L more much cooler but weirder and what's with near playing with toys to childish and melo a mafia boy eating chocolate two replacement of the greatest detective that got beaten by kira and whats with rem getting love love with misa a shinigami and a human they just stick with the mass murder with kira:) But misa is sooo cute I can't blame rem I liked the movie to though L didn't get killed but kira is the one get killed just a suicide gamble for L

[Kay]

light is making a better world,and L is teh one stupid and doesnt realise how noble light is

[7xRedx7]

Light is cool but I'm leaning toward L. I wish I could eat a lot and still not gain pounds...

[wildstriker]

light is making a better world,and L is teh one stupid and doesnt realise how noble light is

Enlighten me...., how does killing people and anyone on its way make the world any batter?
Kira is basically a Dictator in the new world that he will create, and eventually would succumb to an eventual rebellion from mass population that don't agree with him.

[Alberio]

Well his cause was noble at least....

Still I'm glad about the ending after all, if things kept at that rate it would be like another Nazi-Germany all over again and we'd have some rebellion or something, which I don't want a political/military battle in such a series, unless it was neccessary considering one shouldn't just rise to power so quickly. I still don't like how some of "certain" characters were acting at the end.

[wildstriker]

Still..., his noble cause doesn't justify his action.

[Alberio]

I know and definatly what would've been the outcome. Still (question below)

Didn't Misa commit suicide or something because of that weasly bastard died?

[Ulquiorra Schiffer]

L is my favorite character in death note @_@, Light went really insane at the end, sad ending

[wildstriker]

Alberio - Yes, Misa is one of the more twisted (and dumb) for falling in love with Light.

Ulquiorra - No, it's a great and happy ending to Light's death.

Anime's ending kinda different though, have anyone watch the last (37) episode?

[Rawr]

I really loved this manga due to the intellectual battles/twists..but after L died, it kinda seemed more drawn out and boring =\, plus the ending seemed rather sudden.

[7xRedx7]

^^
Hehe, felt exactly the same thing.

[wildstriker]

The ending got expanded a bit in the anime...., even though Light still couldn't escape his fate :cool: .

[israellaa__x3]

I missed L too much. The 2nd half of the manga wasn't that thrilling.. the end just felt like it had to end eventually. Ryuk stepping in was somewhat more unexpected.

Yeah, the anime was more touching in the end. xD The manga described the world after Light died.

[Zaraki Kenpachi]

lawliet was important bur nate and mihael were good replaces - i wish lawliet and mihael shouldnt die

[Zenrise]

light seemed to be a lot dumber after the L arc it was so sad having near to be so much smarter then him

[7xRedx7]

Near only trumped him in the end because of certain interventions.

and...

Light only beat L because of certain advantages.

[tsunade666]

ken_chan is a posting freak the other days its around 250+ not almost 350 hehehehehe
and about this manga kira is awesome insane person I have ever heard of watchong the anime is good I have not read the manga just the anime but its really a master piece and a very good intellectual battle :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
:eban::eban::eban:

[Bankai_Master]

Yeah the manga is better than the anime because it is more detailed and it didnt skip things like the anime

[Onna_Otaku]

i haven't seen the anime, but the english voices make me cry! i have to see the second movie, and start the japanese anime. but the manga...after L died it wasn't the same...

[israellaa__x3]

I think we all agree that L was amazing.

D=

I guess Light got dumber cause he didn't think anyone could match up to him anymore.. hmm. It was really boring during the 2nd part of the manga though.

[7xRedx7]

It all got to his head.

[Zero Shiki]

he could've won if he stayed level headed

[negitoro]

I don't think Light lost his head or got dumber.

His plan to defeat Near was almost flawless. It was foiled only by sheer luck through Mello's actions... and even then, it took a lucky break for Near to take advantage and find out Light's real plan.

[ion]

I was quite feel bad with the ending. I thought Kira is going to be the winner or something else is gonna take over but nope! :(

anyway, yeah the 2nd part of the manga getting kinda of boring. I am just wondering at the ending, who is that girl? and why those people still gathering for kira?

[Deidara]

DN needs more L. The second part, though it introduced Near and Mello, never went up anywhere near the first part, because it showed how L went head to head with Light and would have lived, if not for the "divine" intervention of a certain desperate Shinigami, hmm. Heck, everything about part one was perfect, but the shouldn't have made part two. It lacked L, un.

[israellaa__x3]

At the end, it seemed like Light lost just so the manga would end. D:

[TheCreator]

The girl in the end should be misa

[kyuukii]

death note is pretyy short compared to other mangas and animes. however i dont really see the point in making it too long.

[Monkey.D.Gray-man]

Just watch the final episode of the anime.
I love the ending much more in the anime instead of manga.
Yeah,the point is the same:Ryuk kills Light,but when Light dies he looks like die peacefully,not like in the manga where he beg for his life to Ryuuk.

[SoulSorcerer]

Well, the only reason Raito 'lost' was because of Luck. If you think about it, Raito was the smartest *** in the whole series, he defeated L, and gave a hard time to N and M who had previously studied him, in fact, they had like three years of study, then they come by surprise, still, Raito made them ''suffer'' , he completly altered their plans almost until the end, when that fricking male prostitute/Mello had to come. They were 2 against 1, and hell, Raito did an awesome work.

Raito> L
Raito> M
Raito> N
M+N+luck> Raito

And if Raito'd have had a Shinigami like Ren things would have been a lot easier.

@Sorry for the grammar, waking up XD

@Sorry for the grammar, waking up XD

Im sorry, you are full of s***.
raito isnt smarter than L, Raito knew everything and L knew nothing and found out everything and also knew that raito was akira. Raito won against L because he had crazy advantages, and yet L still knew that raito was akira. near was pretty even with raito ill give him that but he was no where near the genious of L.

[SoulSorcerer]

What advantages? Raito had no idea of his own plan, he actually figured it before L could. You do remember Raito's memory was erased right? Well, in that time, Raito figured out faster than L the indentity of the Kira Raito had set up in the past. It was Raito mastermind who figured out that he was smarter than L(mostly by his own facts, he knew L would have never thought of such a complicated plan) and because of that he made Ryuk erase his memory. That's why he could kill the ''false'' Kira, and all the events that happened after that.
I'm sorry but Raito was the smartest *** in Deathnote. L was so close though, he's one of my favs chars of all times.

[Megabuster]

Okay so having a a shinigami willing to kill itself to kill any obstacle(L), another person with a deathnote who also has shinigami eyes and will listen to whatever you say, not to mention access to every thing the police know through his own father, not to mention his own deathnote and the ability to wipe his own memory temporarily. Ya raito had no advantages.

[SoulSorcerer]

Nope, at the time his memory was erased he had none of those. And, if L had discovered the False Kira before Raito, L would have won.

[Megabuster]

He did, but he couldnt get all of the proof because Raito was using his annoying advantages to his advantage.

uhhhhhh, let me show you what each character is

L= maguyver(paper clip,chewing gum and yesterdays newspaper)
Raito=rich guy who has everything in the world and then some.

[SoulSorcerer]

He didn't, if he had, he would have destroyed it or locked it. And is actually all the way around, L is the rich dude (he just doesn't brag about it) and Raito cares about how he looks, but he's not rich, a policeman can't get rich in Japan.

[Megabuster]

You know what i mean all im saying it that L was smarter then raito. And BTS raito was smarter then PTS raito because he must have gotten either rusty or stupid for having lost to near and mello so easily.

[SoulSorcerer]

Sorry for the late reply. Easy? As a matter of fact it wasn't easy for them to defeat him, as I said it was all luck, if it wasn't for Mello, N would have lost. And you have to give some credit to Raito, he made all thier previous plans go crap, they had studied the situation for almost 3 years, then they came by surprise, and still, he gave them a super hard time. If that was easy then I don't know what is your definition of hard. N said it himself, he would have lost if it wasnt for Mello, after that he says that Raito surpassed all of them, but that together (He and Mello) were able to surpass L, later he says ''The Kira who L was not able to bring up any evidence against...the Kira L lost to''. So as you can see, if L lost to Kira, Kira is better.
So, L wasn't smarter than Raito, all Im saying is that if L could have discovered the fake Kira before Raito, he'd be still alive. They did it almost at the same time, and it was only because Raito's help. Raito who at that time had no advantages.

[negitoro]

I have to say, that Light is indeed smarter than L, advantages or not.

His plan, regardless, was thought out way more thoroughly and he anitipated L's moves way ahead of time. The game in the end, wasn't necessarily to kill L but to make L believe that Light and Misa are not Kira. It might be argued that Light had a huge disadvantage too. He was the one who had to keep killing as Kira while maintaining his innocence with L... in many cases, he had to do it right under L's nose.

Meanwhile, on the flip side, L's efforts to secretly determine whether Light was Kira always were anticipated and countered by Light.

[Megabuster]

Im sorry but based on everything ive seen and read in this manga L is still smarter than raito. i mean the only reasond he died is because he needed complete evidence against a supernatural killer. And near saying he and mello combined were better than L is complete bull. We both know the story started getting lame after L died.

[Athos]

He did, but he couldnt get all of the proof because Raito was using his annoying advantages to his advantage.

uhhhhhh, let me show you what each character is

L= maguyver(paper clip,chewing gum and yesterdays newspaper)
Raito=rich guy who has everything in the world and then some.

That made me laugh out loud. Thanks a lot Mega.

Now, both L and Raito had advantages. Raito had the DeathNote, Misa, 2 shinigamis, and was the son of the head of the police. L had nigh-unlimited resources, both human and capital, and worldwide reputation.

I think L is smarter than Raito. If you look at the manga from a chess perspective, Raito's king was always checked, and all he had to do was to figure a way out of it. Even though Raito tried to counterattack several times, L had already seen through it, and made sure he stayed on the defensive. That is an amazing feat, taking into account Raito's pieces werent even in the manual to begin with!

But the shinigami eyes and the kamikaze shinigami were next to impossible to guard from. It was only a matter of time before L died, because they were weapons that he had no way of knowing of its existance until it was too late.

[lastparadox]

ok ok..both L and light were extremely brilliant..
L was the smartest DETECTIVE and light was the smartest VILLIAN(or whatever you kira fans would call him..)
dont get me wrong i like him too but hes still twisted..maybe he wasnt at first but as the story progressed his sanity went down the drain)..
well either way L is my absolute favorite character and pawns all! :eban:
in the end i dont think it was brains that really determined who won..i think their individual personalities was also an important factor..

[aisuzieya]

L arc is one of the greatest manga arcs of all time. Unfortunately it should have ended where L died, they opted to continue the story and ending up ruining it with the final few chapters.


i totally agree wit u. the ending really is cool for Death Note 1! haha=p
but when they continue the manga, the few final chapters really pisses me off! they make raito looks stupid n prideless! oh man, poor raito! hehe;p Raito is a brilliant guy but he uses his intelligence in a wrong way.

Seriously, i dislike matsuda now. he's funny n helpful in DN1 but he's the one who shot raito in the end. my god..i cant accept it! may raito rest in peace in hell n rule the place! haha;p:devil:

[lastparadox]

lol yeah even if raito does go to hell (if there is such a place and if he indeed went there cuz didnt ryuk say that death note users couldnt go to heaven or hell or something to that effect..) he would definitely take over and rule over the damned! the devil should beaware..raito is near.. :ff::cookies:

I thought when Raito died it said he went to "nothingness"...

[Pansori]

I don't know if this has been brought up already, but animenewsnetwork has confirmed that a dubbed version of Death Note will be taking Bleach's timeslot in mid Oct. on Adult Swim.

Death Note Confirmed to Air on Adult Swim October 20
The Adult Swim network in the United States has confirmed on its online message boards that it will premiere the Death Note supernatural suspense anime series on October 20 at 12:00 a.m. The network had previously posted a television schedule with that timeslot's program title blacked out, but also broadly hinted that it would be Death Note. Adult Swim sub-licensed the series from Viz Media, which also releases the original manga series. The Viz Pictures live-action film affiliate will release the two live-action movies separately. Thanks, dposse.

[fuxshakes]

oh please let them have decent voice actors!

[J.T.]

We all know certain things don't happen. Dead rising, time stopping, decent anime dubbing.

[Alberio]

lol The Gantz dub was pretty good in my opinion, I've watched both but since thats only one example...meh.

It'll be nice to see this on Adult Swim, but they'll probably move Bleach back if they don't remove it. I've seen the japanese anime, and personally I feel it was very good.

As per the L vs. Raito thing, I'm siding with L, he saw through so much as said and think about the measures Raito took to get to him. Still, I don't think the series went down because he died, but that Raito didn't make ANYTHING note worthy compared to his previous accomplishments. lol

[Pansori]

LOL, I thought the Gantz dub was atrocious. But I may not be one to judge because I watched the first two episodes and switched to subs after that. The FMA dub, however, is even better than the subs. In fact, I think it's the only thing I've seen, anime or film, that is better than the original language.

But yes, Adult Swim has a habit of taking shows off, giving them a little break and then putting them back on. A friend of mine wrote an e-mail to Renji's VA and he responded, saying they have so far dubbed up to episode 60, so that means the Bleach dubs should continue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it won't be until next year.

I am looking forward to the dubs. Although I usually prefer subs, I get a kick out of listening to the dubs, it's like new all over again. Plus I've only watched DeathNote once, and have not revisited it since it ended, so it'll be nice seeing it on Adult Swim.

But considering the popularity and the fanbase DeathNote already has, I'm hoping Viz did not mess around with the voice actors, and got the cream of the crop to do the dubbing.

Plus, I wonder what Viz will be doing with the movies? They did acquire those rights as well...

[Megabuster]

wow I agree the FMA dub was amazing, I hope that the deathnote amime is decent as I have as of yet to see an episode.

btw L vs Raito, whos smarter?

wow I agree the FMA dub was amazing, I hope that the deathnote amime is decent as I have as of yet to see an episode.

btw L vs Raito, whos smarter?

Hm? We voiced this though...oh well since its just a side note I'd say that tactically Raito was better but overall L was better in many other aspects as well as being close to Raito's tactical prestige.

Oh, Death note user L isn't kira, Raito/Light is kira...

Both died in the end however, and L pretty much had a back-up with Near and Mello so technically L lives on.

[LaSere]

why is Ratio is die, but why L not die dam

they both pretty much died, yah know...

[Death-note-user]

is just kira die

[LaSere]

kira and L died. L died halfway through the series before Light.

[Death-note-user]

no, go to read it the Eq.107

[LaSere]

so...all i see in that chapter is that Light died in the end. 0.o

[wildstriker]

It's easier to understand each other when using a proper English sentences... >_>

To point the obvious though, L/Ryuzaki/L.Lawliet/Ryooga Hideki and Light/Kira/Raito/New L (and whatever alias these two have) died in the Manga/Anime/Movie. It doesn't even need any clarification.

[Death-note-user]

yes that is what i say

[LaSere]

yes, they both died. not one of them lived in the end. i hope this clears things up, death-note-user. >.> and no...u were saying Kira died and not L. that's what i understood. -__-

[Megabuster]

I still think L is smarter than raito, but whatever.

[Pansori]

DeathNote movie update: YES! Viz is releasing Deathnote on DVD for us Region 1 saps. I've seen the movies once, back when they first came out. It was on youtube, 10 minute increments, and the worst subbing job in history. I'm pretty sure it was one of those jobs where someone video taped it from the inside of a theater, but the video quality on youtube was so bad I couldn't really tell.

Anyway, here's the article if you're interested:

The fine folks over at Viz Pictures are on a roll. The company famous for unleashing US releases of such recent Japanese classics as The Taste of Tea, Kamikaze Girls, Linda Linda Linda, Ping Pong and Hula Girls can add two more films to that list - Death Note and its sequel Death Note: The Last Name.

Both films were a a box office sensation when released in Japan last year and were also big hits at this year's New York Asian Film Festival.

As with the previous films, Viz Pictures plans on a limited theatrical release followed by a dvd release. The films are are set to screen in Texas and Vancouver in the coming months with more screenings popping up through the beginning of 2008. The dvds are schedule to hit shelves sometime in the summer of '08.

By the way, there is another Death Note movie in the works that will focus on L. It is set to be released in Japan early 2008. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/idle_fingers/smilies.gif

[Death-note-user]

L GO TO HELL, are oh is just Kira die o.o, i couldn't see it

Really? a movie focusing on L? Meaning its all about L? So disappointing..isnt Raito the hero of Death Note? So wats the title of the movie later? I know that L has more fans than Raito does but somehow..its like discriminate raito? or sort of :p

its not the issue either, i was juz suprised to hear it. hopefully the movie will be more promising and interesting like the 1st movie :lol:

[Pansori]

Currently it doesn't have a title, it goes by "The Untitled Death Note Sequel Project" but IMDB has it listed as L.
Here's a link:

IMDB L Page (http://imdb.com/title/tt0912597/)

[nope]

if L and Light both went to the same place after they died, i wonder what L said to Light after he got there. heh.

[SoulSorcerer]

I'd go like this:

L: =o Zomg hi!
Raito: !!!! *evil eyes* Mwahahaha you dead. Anyways, wanna play Tennis?
L: (ö)_(ö) Sure.

[nope]

lol
or
L: hi
light: er, hey.
*awkward silence*

light:about the whole killing you and millions of people and trying to take over the world thing..
L: Its fine, lets just try our best to get a sequel going here.
light: sounds like a plan. wanna go play tennis?
Ryuk: wazuuuuuup
Light: wazuuuuuuup!
L: aaaaaaaaaa!

[aisuzieya]

Currently it doesn't have a title, it goes by "The Untitled Death Note Sequel Project" but IMDB has it listed as L.
Here's a link:

IMDB L Page (http://imdb.com/title/tt0912597/)



thanks for the info :D From the synopsis, the movie is all about L. *disappointed* LOL~

[wildstriker]

Regarding who's smarter though, I believe Death Note How To Read 13 already covered it by the author themselves stating that Light is in fact smarter than L, and Near's supposed to be on the same level with Light as well.

[LaSere]

Near's alright...i kinda didnt expect Near being on the same level as Light, though. he doesnt even top L on my book. but then again, im probably just playing favorites.

[aisuzieya]

Near's alright...i kinda didnt expect Near being on the same level as Light, though. he doesnt even top L on my book. but then again, im probably just playing favorites.


well, i hv the same opinion tho. cos its near n mello together against raito. so, its obvious why he won the game. N he got lucky too, if mello hadnt kidnapped sayu (raito's lil cute sis), he wont be able to confirmed that KIRA is the fake L.

Imagine if near alone fight n investigate raito, he might not win the game. truthfully, i dun like the sequal.

i appreciate death note and a big fan of it, but i dun like the way the story goes in DN2. there are some scenes where there are unnecessary too. N they make raito look stupid. duhhh, very disappointing. well, thats my opinion. :lol:

[mavericking]

are you talking about the movie or anime ? cuz if your talking about the anime , theres no DN2 . if movie , yeah it sux bad

[aisuzieya]

ooppss, my bad. i was talking bout the manga. :lol:

[mavericking]

you mean the near/mello chapters ? yeah . that was horrible

[Jammerjoint]

Jeez that whole thing with switching notebooks is quite impressive...I don't see how the guy makes it all up. Ingenious.

I finished the series like two weeks ago...I got lost in the anime though.

[aisuzieya]

you mean the near/mello chapters ? yeah . that was horrible

yeahh :D it is. the 2nd movie also...unsatisfying :o my frens who didnt read the manga or watch the anime complaint that they dun understand the movie :lol:

[mavericking]

weird . i hated taht movie ? meh :P yeah . tehy cut out tooo many things from the manga . if i didnt read the manga or watch the anime , i mightve burnt something down after taht

[Pansori]

I think the Death Note movie is similar to FMA and its anime series/ movie. It's enjoyable, as a stand alone, but when compared to the manga it holds no ground.
I liked the movie because ever since Battle Royale I'm partial to Tatsuya Fujiwara. He can stand on a table with an apple on his head, and sing throughout a film and I'd be like "BEST MOVIE EVAH!!!"

[wildstriker]

Difference are, FMA movie is just way off league compared to Death Note's.

[aisuzieya]

I agree with u. Tatsuya Fujiwara is a great actor. i really look up on him. Im not a big fan of him, but i do keep track of his latest news n stuff. Hopefully he will be one of the most established actor in japan in the future :lol:

[fuxshakes]

This may be old news, but in case somebody didn't know, dubbed Death Note is starting this Saturday on Cartoon Network!

[Shadow of Chaos]

I didn't know >>;

I've only read the manga and watched the movie, which was okay, honestly I was expecting more >>. I liked the manga though, it kept me intruged.

[westcrazy]

I didnt know either... I want to hear the voices of the characters, especially L's.

[bleachigo10]

I didnt know either... I want to hear the voices of the characters, especially L's.
I heard acomercial that had Ryuk and Light, Ryuk sound kinda wierd, Light only screamed but it sounded pretty good.

[Pansori]

I knew no one reads my posts! I've only mentioned it a hundred times in this and the Bleach forum since it was first announced over two weeks ago. Ahhh, man... :(



EDIT: OK, maybe only ONCE in the Death note discussion... but I made a thread in Bleach...

[mavericking]

lol . light sounds like a little girl in dub

[marian]

Death note was the first manga i love yeah until i die


Because it's battle of wits that's really rare on shounen manga?, rather than brainless chooping & fighting using soul blades, ninja techniques, devil fruits :D

hey
dont call them brainless...
they're still good as death note

[lastparadox]

well i knew but i dont think i particularly care because im not a really big fan of dub..the complete opposite actually..

[tsunade666]

If you hated the dub that much just watch the sub its always like this talks about the dub part of the anime.
Their are only few dub anime that I like because many people just use some random dubber to do dubbing of cool anime its just destroying its beauty

[wildstriker]

hey
dont call them brainless...

Er..., I feel kinda honored for you to reply on my 2 months old post :o .

Well, If you're a fan to those series, then sorry :p .

[lastparadox]

yes yes subs it is! :)
by the way does anyone know if there are any new trailers of any king of the the new L movie thats suppose to come out this feb.? and how about the 3 hour special? has it come out in subs yet?

[Pansori]

by the way does anyone know if there are any new trailers of any king of the the new L movie thats suppose to come out this feb.?

Yay! I always love when my useless trivia for Asian films comes in handy:

The new movie is called L: Change the World

Here are some teasers. No translation, and they are kind of weak. When the page opens click on the first tab to the left:

L movie trailer (http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/L-movie/)

[wildstriker]

Hm..., my best guess of the story is it'll be the adaptation of light novel story of Death Note.

[tsunade666]

L:change the world
what is the story about?
any summary or preview that has sub?

[Pansori]

There's very little information about it, still, because the website and such has not been translated. Here's a synopsis from IMDB:

In this prequel, L, the popular main character from the Death Note series, travels to America to use his supieror intellect and spot on deduction skills to solve crimes.

Also, the new L movie is being directed by Hideo Nakata. If you are unfamiliar with him, Hideo is the writer/director of the Ring films, as well as Dark Water.
I don't know how popular he is in Asia, but I know among Asian Cinema fans he is KING. Seriously, people LOVE this guy, consider him a genius. His specialty is (obviously) horror.
He's very atmospheric, so I'm expecting this movie to be better than the last two.

[wildstriker]

America....?, then, it might just be true for them to take the light novel case from L.A.
And that said, the entire main cast in DN except for L & Watari might not appear at all in this movie.

[tsunade666]

basically its a L movie him alone no light in it all about L and his detective skill?
kinda boring without that ingenious guy though I hate him he is still quite cool in his way

[Pansori]

Definately no Light in it, he's not mentioned in the cast listing at all. But I don't know about IMDB's synopsis, I just found this from Tokyograph:

Some more cast and plot details of the "Death Note" spinoff, "L," have been revealed. Aside from lead actor Kenichi Matsuyama and lead actress Mayuko Fukuda, the cast includes Masanobu Takashima, Youki Kudoh, Kiyotaka Nanbara, and Megumi Sato. Takashima's character reportedly involves the use of special makeup.

The story for the film involves L's "final case," taking place during the 23 days before his death. The case does not appear in the original "Death Note" storyline.

[wildstriker]

Ah...., so it's original movie scenario case, might be interesting...., but, ya know..., w/o the honorable item (read: Death Note), I wonder what kind of trick will the murderer use to deceive L.

[tsunade666]

it looks like a side story aside from the the case of deathnote well if the enemy isn't light it will be a piece of cake for L

[westcrazy]

it looks like a side story aside from the the case of deathnote well if the enemy isn't light it will be a piece of cake for L

True, like taking a walk in the park, lol. Light is the only one that can outsmart L.

[tsunade666]

light is the only main character villain that rocks he is so smart that
that makes him insane of power thats his big weakness so he died
and if the enemy is not light I think it will not be exciting as the
Death Note

[wildstriker]

Well, who knows, the enemy might be another genius, super hitman, or big gang leader....

[tsunade666]

hmm
if they make it like the way kira do his dirty tricks I don't want to watch it
they should make it more original and unique

[wildstriker]

Nobody will even watch it If it's going to be the same...., they'll at least will try something originated from themselves I guess, like anime fillers or so, but since it's a high budget production like movie, they'd most likely will be better than just another copy pasta.

[tsunade666]

hmm
better than light its hard to think of one
light is so good even if its bad maybe the plot
of story is good and the way the enemy do his
criminal business but I still think light is the only
one that can outsmart L
and wildstriker your avatar change who is that guy?

[wildstriker]

Well, like..., Conan (Shinichi) for example?, I think he's as smart as (If not better) than L or Light.

My avatar?, take a guess.... :D, it's still PoT character, I always use PoT players for my avatar.

[tsunade666]

is he the one who serves like a samurai I only watch the anime ones and I haven't even read the manga so I can't tell

well sinichi is smart you can level it in the level as L or Light
to begin with L and light are in the same level Light only is cunning and trick L
light can be a good actor by his acts

[wildstriker]

Well, in DN How To Read 13, Light uniques statistic is indeed listed as acting. :D

My avatar is Renji from Rikkai If you're still wondering, just look up to the Rikkai matches.

[tsunade666]

okay

I don't know about that part that its listed but he surely is a great
actor he even trick those near him with it specially L

[Akazig]

(i don't know if a post like this exsists but still...)

Did you guys like the ending, i think it's a piece of ****.

[kakashi1300]

well, the ending's just fine with me...a good plan by light, but mikami blundered that's why it failed

[wildstriker]

I think it's a masterpiece, seeing how Light end pitifully.

Mikami does have fault for acting out of habit while followed by Gevanni, however, it's because Light himself didn't tell him beforehand he has a "spare" Death Note.
Well, this incident is caused by Mellow sudden action too, If he doesn't kidnap Takada, Near might have not won (since Mikami wouldn't have to take the real Death Note from safe).

[kakashi1300]

oh yeah, you meant the sheet hidden inside his wrist watch.

[Tomm-E]

That was truely a masterpiece but in the end you just can't help but feel irritated.
It is one of the very few anime where you have to think alot to be able to predict what will happen next.

[aisuzieya]

thank god we hv diz thread. Im so UNsatisfied with the ending. N i dun accept it as an ending for death note. i dun k wat ppl say when i tell them the same thing. BUT..to accept the total s*** of the ending will nvr happen to me.heheehe:p

death note is a masterpiece! but, the ending......kinda disappointing. raito..suppose to die like a hero cos he's the main character of death note..an evil one.:devil:
i know this is subjective.....n this is my opinion n how i feel.:D

[gr1mmy]

http://forum.onemanga.com./showthread.php?t=100

Eh.... people, just discuss in this thread.

[darkninja27]

it was good and it should the weak side of Light in a very gory situation.

[gdupninja]

I hated the end. Near winning and that moron ryuk killing light sucked. Light shouldve went out cooler than that. God i was pissed when i first read the ending.

[wildstriker]

If Light can depend on Ryuk since the beginning, the whole story wouldn't need to happen since Ryuk can just kill L, Mello, Near, etc after the first time meeting them.

Depending on the shinigami doesn't even need brain to begin with, which will make the series even more sucked.

[westcrazy]

I hated the ending, Light should of won. Although, I found rly cool that Ryuk killed Light at the end.

[tsunade666]

no
I like the ending the way light die
light is so blind of his goal its good for him that
he die
his just to good for his own sake

[wildstriker]

How can anyone even liked Light in the first place?

[tsunade666]

huh
I didn't like light
I like the way he die and I think the ending wasn't that bad he
deserves to die he kill tons of people and L
I'm an L fan not Light fan

[mavericking]

maybe cuz hes awesome

[tsunade666]

Light awesome
his to cocky of himself
his smart and a good actor he could get novel prize for his acting

[mavericking]

light , i mean

[mavericking]

hes also smart , sly , cold and calculating . he also has perfect hair

[wildstriker]

I never really liked Light in the first place, I guess when he start killing criminal is acceptable, but then he's going downfall, thinking he can become "God of new world", even eliminating the innocent people such as the FBIs and those who don't agree with him.

I'm not really L fan as well, but certainly I can never liked Light at all. As Near said, killing someone because you hate him/her is even normal compared to those who think they can become God by punishing criminals.

[Pansori]

I always liked L. In fact, he was my favorite character. And yes, I do believe things went downhill after his demise. I agree with Mavericking, the best quality of Light was his hair. :thumbup:

[tsunade666]

Light is to much I can't take that person he trick and killed L
the way he sees his justice blinded himself
he thinks he can be GOD his insane
the way he killed criminals are also bad
yes they are criminals but they are still human that can
change but he didn't give them any chance and he even
start killign FBI's
he killed the one whos invetigating him
he killed its girlfriend ( or finance )
he killed L
and he even blackmail other people to corner near
HE IS JUST MAD PERSON GONE WILD

he have good qualities but those qualities aren't enough
to hide his TONS of MISTAKES

[wildstriker]

Well, I personally think he's already mentally defected since he think he can become God of new world.

[tsunade666]

I also agree
he needs to be taken to mental hospital

[nope]

light is great because hes crazy and evil. his good hair is also a plus, the fact that he killed L just gives me more to like.

[aisuzieya]

I hated the ending, Light should of won. Although, I found rly cool that Ryuk killed Light at the end.

yes, its kinda cool when in the end, ryuk wrote raito's name in his death note BUT i hate the way raito was shot, the sarcastic face of Near (i hate him too much! L is way cooler. n he dun play with LEGO!), n the way he died. its unacceptable!!:mad:

[wildstriker]

I personally have a good laugh on Light pathetic end...., and how provided the swimming lesson. :lol:

[westcrazy]

I loved Light at the beginning, then he turned into a psycho. But the whole concept of "changing" the world, loved it.

[aisuzieya]

hes also smart , sly , cold and calculating . he also has perfect hair

u got it! he has a damn cool stylish hair! :lol:
i love Raito Yagami!!!

[Tensa Zangetsu]

i like the name light better cause it makes him seem like he is the key to humanity or the start of a new era or something....

and yea, i think this manga was awesome, too bad light died in the end though...personally i HATE near but the original L was so cool - he and Light were like equals, two sides of the same coin, good and evil....i hate how light lost because mikami or whatever his name was so STUPID!!!!!! but i dont understand why mikami didnt carry around at least one sheet of the death note at all times

[tsunade666]

..
personally i HATE near but the original L was so cool - he and Light were like equals

I couldn't agree more L is WAY better than Near that child
who plays with his toys should stay in the ward I like melo
better than near like his bad attitude
and about light his evil and needs to be punish
