    FFXIV Character

    Ekhi Ysengrim (Brynhildr)

    Default Death Note

    Is it any good? From what I've heard of it, it doesn't really seem my style. It's about this kid who can kill people by writing their name in a book and sets out to do good, but the whole absolute power corrupts absolutly thing happens and he gets conflicted or something. So what do you guys think about it?

    It's a very good series, well-executed and with interesting characters. The final arc isn't as good though.

    Yes, and the last part will disappoint you.

    The English version is coming on tonight on Adult Swim if anyone cares.

    I agree. It had me captivated until the final bit. (SPOILER)After L died I just couldn't give a rat's testicle anymore.

    The debut episode was very interesting. It got me thinking, what would I do with a book that kills anyone I wish with a simple stroke of a pen? I think that's what the people that made this was hoping for. They're hoping that the viewers would put themselves in the main character's shoes and ask yourself what if. That's how this series is going to shine and make you want to watch the next episode. And guess what? I'm gonna watch it.

    I envy you, you citizens who did not sell out your citizenship, at times like these when you can watch Death Note and I'm stuck kicking rocks in the sand. Wish I could of watched it.

    Yeah..it was interesting at first..they make their moves just like playing a chess game..really interesting..but then after that..it looks kinda boring..just my opinion.

    I LOVE DEATH NOTE! It's awesome o_o

    I totally didn't expect Light or Ryuk to sound like that in English, though XD

    I think the biggest problem people had with deathnote after Episode 25 was the whole [Spoilers]L dying thing[/Spoilers], but if you get over that the end is actually very good.

    Before Episode 25 was great, but after that the characters got abit boring, even Light or Raito or whatever his name is. The only one that stood out was Teru Mikami, he was awesome. The ending is abit disapointing and you can sort of see it coming but other than that the series had more twists than a slinky.

    I really liked when they did all that Light is red and L is blue stuff and theyre totally out planning each other and staring each other down while the camera moves in all directions thing. That was always cool
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Not a bad dub thus far.
