    Default Death Note

    Click here for episode one.

    This is an extremely good anime series. I suggest you watch it. Has anyone else watched it? I just got past episode 25, and now I'm sad.

    The summary goes like this. Light is an intelligent, but bored highschool student. One day while walking home he finds a notebook on the ground named "Death Note." He reads the beginning which states that anyones name written in the "Death Note" will die within a couple seconds. At first he thinks is a just a hoax that some highschool kid made to trick someone, but while writting in the name of a criminal, the Death Note's power kills the criminal.

    You'll have to watch the rest for the later part.

    I've finished the series. It's one of the best manga titles I've read in quite awhile. I am aware of the anime series but can't dl it at the moment.

    I've only gotten to around episode 14, but I love it. One of these days I'm gonna stop being lazy and watch the rest of the series.

    I've read the manga series and I do enjoy it greatly. Eventually I'm going to collect all of Viz's Graphic Novels.

    I have yet to see how the anime is, however. I'll have to watch it and compare it, etc eventually.

    It is a pretty solid series, I really am enjoying it. It seems different from a lot of the anime I have been watching lately.

    I've read the entire manga series. It's pretty great. I'm up to date on the anime, too. This particular even in episode 25 seemed to happen slightly differently than in the manga if I recall correctly. It was much more dramatic this time. And... homoerotic kinda. Foot massage? :P

    O HAI IM FAN GURL.

    I love DN! Although I've only watched up to Eps 20, since my connection to youtube is terrible. I want to have the manga but Fruits Basket from Tokyopop is currently is depleting me of funds.

    I've seen some scanlations on the intarwebs, but I don't have the time to look at them one by one.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    The foot massage was symbolic. You know the way Jesus washed his followers feet before he was going to be killed. Same meaning.

    I never looked at it like that.

    I enjoyed the series, for awhile. I own most of the manga, but haven't read it all yet. I stopped watching the anime around episode 19. It kind of fell into a slump, as most anime expectantly do, and I never got around to catching up again.

    I started watching and finished up with the comic recently. It was good up till the end which was just poorly done. So much so that it makes me cry because most of the rest was so well written...for the most part. I have issues with somethings that happened and what was said. I don't know if that is a problem with the translation or just a lapse made by the writer.

    HUGE THUMBS DOWN TO WATCHING ANIME ON YOUTUBE.

    Now that that's out of the way, I have been enjoying the anime through alternate higher quality methods. I agree, the foot massage thing in the latest episode was very, very awkward (as I'm sure it was intended). The Jesus thing did flash through my mind, but quickly left when Light started making noises and offering towels.

    I've heard that the series starts going downhill in the manga after this point, so I'm not particularly looking forward to that. Still, it's been quite entertaining, standing out as one of the better shows from the last mediocre anime season.
