Death Note

[Insane]

This thread is pretty much for the general discussion of Death Note manga and anime, but not the DNTFG, keep that to it's own thread.

[darkarcher]

I'm just going to point out that this series has completed in both Japan and America, so spoiler tags are not required for any discussion here.

[Insane]

Thanks, I forgot that.

[Fat1Fared]

Well had my own in lite section, but everyone will come here now, so I will hijack your post

Well, just finished this manga and it was great

and some of the mind battle was really intense and cwl

Has anyone else read this?

Plot spoiler



EDITYear later and just realise their is major lack of tags here lol[ But it is a shame light loses and also want to know what happened with some of Characters like Misa and his family ]=

Misa commits suicide and Sayu joins the Kira-cult.

[Fat1Fared]

sorry, already got Misa, answer, didn't mean to leave that in,

But are you sure Sayu joins Kira-cult, she was against him, you do not think it was her at the end do you, as I am sure it is not

[darkarcher]

I could be wrong. It's been half a year or more since I read it.

I have read the entire manga, and watched the anime in english and japanese subbed, and I like the Anime a little bit better (although they are very similar) because the anime has a very good soundtrack and builds suspense very well, which is some that is very hard to do in the manga.

Darn I was going to say that...

Fair enough, i'm going to watch the the remainder of the anime when I get the chance, I have only currently watched a couple of episodes.

The manga has all sorts of small nuances that you can't get in the anime (Takeshi Obata). It also doesn't have all of the drama that sometimes gets in the way of the plot. On the other hand, the anime has characters actually saying stuff, so you don't feel inclined to skip past the blocks of text that plague the more intelligent segments of the manga. The voices match the characters, too; you don't get that grating situation I experienced in the Tsubasa English dub (which was fine for the most part, except I hated the voice they got for Y?ko, but I digress...). And some of that drama has become integral to the Death Note mystique; if we didn't have the Death Note anime, we wouldn't have "What's Up, People?", which made me laugh my ass off when I heard it. (Japanese death metal...it's great and terrible at the same time.)


That, and the whole potato chip thing, further immortalized by this poop.

I'm indifferent as the manga had more bulk to it and I liked the manga ending better but the anime had all the tension, presentation is amazing, an amazing soundtrack and voice acting was perfect was the best english cast i have ever heard in a dub, also on a side note I hear there making a english re-make of the japanese movies....................oh dear if that actually turns out good I will my own shoes, actually I'll do it if they manage to find someone who can actually portray L well or at least better than Ken'ichi because they will have a job doing that.

[xellos88]

I liked the manga better, i didnt even finished the anime

[iwatch2muchanime]

Death Note is better

[Fat1Fared]

what do you mean, Death note is better, better than what....unless just saying both are amazing and so doesn't matter

[Clank4Prez]

Just watched L's death. Very depressing.

However put about it, in my movie reviewer page, as that is only just started (with Deathnote movie funnily enough) and needs some posts to get it going

Felt there needs to be a fan made reviewing site.

IM pretty sure holly wood is making a Death Note movie similar to the Grude Japanese to american remakes, hopefully it wont end up like One Missed Call which was made into such a bad horror that it could be a comedy....

also i like both the anime and manga

[Fat1Fared]

I heard it was english remake, have to check again, ether way the first one was watchable, second was poor and so with way western remakes go, it is not looking GOOD

[Hideous Progeny]

I haven't actually seen the anime, I'll have to get around to that at some point.
Til then, I withhold judgment!

[Fat1Fared]

Hid, read the Manga, Animie is ok, but lacks something and with manga, for whole of first half you will be on edge of your seat, it is brilliant

[Hideous Progeny]

Oh don't worry, I read it as soon as it got licensed and loved it. I made one of my sisters read it, too, so she would understand why I stopped buying them for a month after volume 7. (I relented and continued to 12.)
I just haven't seen the anime yet is all.

[Fat1Fared]

Oh ok, I couldn't get into Animie ether, I loved the manga, but just couldn't get into Animie for reason

Go to www.onemanga.com (this will allow you to scan any you want as well)

They have them, for free online, god sent for poor poeple lol

[maisetofan]

Um what about the third movie, prequel L saves the world?
I agree that the japanese movies were kinda crap except Ryuuk's design was amazingly good!

Actually Sayu was mute/emotionally traumatized and never recovered from the Mafia-kidnapping, if I remember Volume 13 correctly. That girl at the end with the Kira-Cult who everyone assumes was Sayu wasn't actually Sayu. She was just an unnamed woman, as long as I'm remembering correctly what they said in DN13.

Not to mention that Sayu's kidnapping and resulting trauma was pretty much indirectly caused by Kira as well as her father and brother being killed (Since I don't remember if the Task Force ever told Sayu and her mother that Light was Kira or if they just said he died in the line of duty) and her family essentially torn to pieces, so I highly doubt she would even consider joining a cult to worship Kira.

Misa however does commit suicide. On Valentines day, I think it was. Irony.

I liked the L movie and if you didn't like it, I probably don't like you.

Thank You Vamp, it keep saying that girl isn't Sayu, but never know really what happens to her, however in info book, does say that she went to her grave, not knowing truth about Kira/Light

Danny, why are you always a fool!!!!!! Your like some underling wannabe, but without brains, power or coolness

I originally thought it was Sayu myself until I read Death Note 13, so. XD Yeah.

Personally, I am in love with B from Another Note. The way Mello describes him cracks me up.
