Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

So, who among us has had the pleasure in either reading the manga or picking up the recently released anime for the series? It's very refreshing from my perspective, nice to have something legitimately dark and interesting. Possibly had a large potential to be much more psychological than it was, but the result was fantastic regardless. Too much psychology probably would have tipped the intensity a bit too far for casual reading, and viewing as they case may be.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a Ryuk cosplayer recently, accompanied with a female Light + DeathNote. I might upload them later if I have time.

Let the DeathNote discussion commence!

I've been watching the anime series and I must say I really enjoy it. I love how Light is a complete psycho but yet a character anyone can like.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I'm not very keen about DN anime, manga is good though. But I find it a little boring to watch it anime since there's lot of different angles of Raitos concentrated face. Naah, it's just that I know the plot and it's not so interesting as an anime.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I dunno, I just hope the anime ends better than how the manga did. =/

Although the anime looks to be way better than the manga chapters, even though it's a direct adaptation, the feeling you get from it is way better.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I didn't know there was an anime of Death Note, I read the first 6 or so mangas but lost interest after awhile.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

ahh the Death Note anime. its really well done in my point of view, since most people who watch the anime know whats going to happen (since the series ended in the manga), but it still draws your interest. that is the sign of a good anime in my book.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

i never read the manga but i've heard about it a lot. and i've been watching the anime since it's started. i must say it's promising and the level of suspense in the last 2 episodes 7&8 was so high that my adrelanine hit the roof. i heard from the people who read the manga that this is only the beginning.
i'm glad that DN started airing. now i don't feel like i'm waiting for Naruto

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I didn't even know this series was still going... I remember when first few chapters had come out a few years ago, and even before that I'm PRETTY sure I ended up reading a pilot version of this manga - one chapter that was released as a full short story and covered the beginning of the plot but came up with a really unsatisfactory ending on the fly. It basically took the beginning plot of Death Note and then ended it about 20 pages later...

:/ Am I just making stuff up, or did it actually exist?

Well, either way, both the first few chapters of the manga and the stand-alone complex were good. They're highly recommended. :O

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I havn't seen the anime yet, but I have been reading the Manga. But the last one I read was when, well, It pissed me off and I didnt want to read it anymore. Certain person was my favorite character.

Yes, assuming we are talking about the same person.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I must say, I'm impressed by the Death Note anime so far. The first episode seemed dissappointing, but the story has a really good fast pace to it, and the art and effects are stunning.

One of the few manga where I like the anime better. ^^

No, you're telling the truth. I've read that pilot. I'm thankful that the manga itself is more in depth, though. Although the things that happen after L's death could do some work, and so could the ending.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

Death Note is my second favorite manga, surpassed only by Monster, and I like the anime as well. So far it's done a great job of translating the story from paper to the screen. The voice acting is great, and along with the music, adds a new dimension to the series not present while reading the manga.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I started to watch the anime, but I got bored of it fast. I read the whole manga series before hand and I just think it makes a better manga. This might just be me being picky of course, but I wasn't thrilled with it.

Don't get me wrong, Death note is awsome, I just wasn't pleased with the anime.

Re: Death Note - Recent Anime Release ~Thar be spoilers~

I wasn't too happy with last week's episode. L's fall from the chair at the mention of "Death Gods" was so exaggerated and out of character. Also, the ending of that episode never took place in the manga, but it wasn't a big change at all, really, and I didn't mind it.
