![]() ![]() Credits: 230 | new anime that came out not long ago, based on the manga of the same name wiki: Light Yagami is a brilliant, but bored, high school student who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note's instructions claim that, if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note's genuinity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit the Death Note is real. After meeting with the true owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become the "God of new world" by passing his judgment on criminals. Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira", is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill a person just by knowing their face and name. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a race to prove mental superiority between the two begins. after having watched the first 2 episodes, (and not having read the manga) i was engrossed in this surperbly original story, and found myself smiling in glee at the possiblities that this anime has to offer in terms of moral and philosophical arguments. what do ao memebers think of this anime so far? i was wondering, is there anyone here who has in fact read the manga already? and if so, how does the anime compare to it? is it something i shud be looking forward to? or shud i jes go get the manga?

God's Little Girl | Re: Death Note Gosh, I haven't watched the anime yet. >__> I am soooooooo behind time these days. I've read the manga though, and I love the art, and the story. It definitely is different from anything I've ever read before. Scary, though, if something like the Death Note were to actually exist in reality. *shudder* Yeah, I don't see why you shouldn't get the manga. I usually prefer the original manga to the animated versions anyway - but only because a lot of anime are condensed versions of the manga.

I thoroughly enjoyed it to the point that I read the 7 volumes in a span of hours. It took about 3-4 days, usually at night. And the combined hours would have probably made like 6-8 hours. I gobbled the manga up. There were plenty of story twists and turns. There was never a dull moment, despite the fact that the plot stayed fairly the same. I encourage everyone to pick the anime. The anime has been right on with the manga, they have not changed a thing. I find the anime more entertaining because I am more geared towards anime anyway. Visual over reading, anyday. The music is extremely good, the artwork is superb, the style is more than satisfactory, and the dialouge is just like the manga's. PICK THIS ONE UP. | ||

![]() ![]() Credits: 15,972 | Re: Death Note READ THE MANGA!!! I dont know how and why I put off Death Note for so long but now I'm obsessed with it!! It even got me to change my av and sig from the Prinny!! (I've had that for almost EVER!!)^o^ The manga is up to the 7th volume in the US and the 8th is due out next month. The manga is VERY well written, the art work is amazing, and everything else about is awesome!! As for the anime I've seen only the first two episodes and its one of the few animes that stays as good as the original.
