[Shinigami]

o I was right lol:


Novel

A novel adaption of the series has been written by Ishin Nishio, called Death Note: Another Note.[5][6] It serves as a prequel to the manga series, with Mello narrating the story of L's first encounter with Naomi Misora during the Los Angeles "BB Serial Murder Case" mentioned in volume 2 of the manga. Beside Naomi's character, the novel focuses on how L works. Insight was given into Watari's orphanage and how the whole system of geniuses such as L, Mello and Near were put to work. Viz will be releasing the novel in English in February 2008.[7]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note#Novel


edit - well heres the novel and volume 13

[PaulMacC]

Isnt all these volumes included in the anime.
Someone stick this thread.

[PaulMacC]

Sorry for double posting but Im adding information and cannot edit


I've just saw the episode were L dies, aww, I wanted him to live and I hate this Near guy.

[Neversoft]

omg death note thread

Who's your favourite character?
Light, L and Misa. :D

What was your favourite opening?
First one

Who do/did you want to win?
Neither won, neither lost. You guys should really watch the anime again, I feel I'm the only one who truly understands it. :P

Light was Kira for like 6 years, he killed thousands of people and managed to kill L. It's also said (in the manga I think), that they won't announce Kira's death to anyone, because it will be better that way. So Kira will still have supporters even after his death. So in a way, Light won.

BUT...

L had two successor's that finished off the case for him when he died, and they confirmed that Light was Kira. Which L had basically already found out anyway. So in a way, L won.

Also, they're brining out two new manga volumes. One that explains things in more detail and inculdes some secrets and things, like L's real name and another that shows L's rise to power.

Also, theres an L movie coming out this year. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0912597/


Light ofc.
Opening 1 :>
I wanted light to win, i thought he would coz hes the main character and the good guy, yet he lost :<

Geez, you people... :P We were doing archetypes today in media. Do you really think that Light was the 'good guy'? ;) Light had good intentions, so yes, he could very well be. But you're forgetting the other 'good guy', L. Neither was really in the wrong.

L's real name is L Lawleit or something, It was in the Manga Volumes which was covered in the first two live action movies.
The new volume will most likely be covered in this new L movie.


Cant wait for the new volumes :)
Do you know where I could buy all of these volumes and how much?
Where can I purchase it irl, I have no credit card.

[Shinigami]

Do you know where I could buy all of these volumes and how much?
Where can I purchase it irl, I have no credit card.

I'm not really sure and i don't think the new volumes are out yet in the UK. i buy my manga from amazon so yeah and the only place I've seen manga irl was in borders (which they dont really have that many and doubt they have death note as I checked before and they didn't) and the london expo (it's like a convention for like TV shows, anime/manga etc.)

[PaulMacC]

I'll probably get funds on my PayPal account some way.
I think there is a trick to transfer funds from your mobile or I'll beg my dad to register another PayPal account, last time he did but he didnt buy anything and that credit card expired.

[Neversoft]

L's real name is L Lawleit or something, It was in the Manga Volumes which was covered in the first two live action movies.
The new volume will most likely be covered in this new L movie.

Yes, but I think it means his full name.

[PaulMacC]

I am sad now thats I've watched it all, there's nothing to watch at night now
Look at the first intro
nearly everyone there has died
The last episode was disappoitining
Mikami Should not be able to see "Near's" name since Near has the notebook.

WEAK ENDING Light was really smart for 36 episodes then got REALLY dumb. He should have wrote down the names before he got there and found out Near's name then when everyone else died. He didn't even deny it or try to outsmart them. This anime ending isn't very well respected for many reasons.

Death Note is a masterpiece I can't believe it's over, I mean it's the only anime that I truly like because it makes sense it's exciting and is very smart, but now it's over, I hope, I beg, I wish there was a sequel for this wonderful anime.

I was watching the ending on YT again and someone said

Too bad L wasnt there to teabag him or something

ROFL

[PaulMacC]

Adding new info, cant edit.


At the end I was just pee'd too because I'd much rather have Light lose to L then Mello and Near, L did the majority of the work and was about to catch Light though Rem got to him first, I just think the ending was a disaster.

To the Near bit, it's only if you write in the notebook, how do you think L died?

Thats stupid, he was just outsmarted, not acting dumb :rolleyes:

A sequel would kill it, but I agree with the rest.

[PaulMacC]

I wish they would make a new series with another Kira and Near

[Neversoft]

Mikami Should not be able to see "Near's" name since Near has the notebook.

Nah, he has to write in it first.

It's because he had managed to cover it up for 6 years then when they finally found him out he couldn't take it. How do you think he's going to talk himself out of it when Mikami wrote down all but his name in the book and Light said 'It's my win'. :P

Yeah, thats why I like it. It's mature. It's smart. You really have to pay attention. The writer is a genius. I don't think there should be a sequel though.


At the end I was just pee'd too because I'd much rather have Light lose to L then Mello and Near, L did the majority of the work and was about to catch Light though Rem got to him first, I just think the ending was a disaster.

In a way, L did win. Afterall, they were L's successors and they did use what L had already found out. L already thought that Light was Kira anyway.
No one really lost in this anime.

[PaulMacC]

I just hated the way that Light died you know, I'd much rather have two endings to it, there could be an ending A and ending B :x

I need a new anime to watch now, any recommendations?

That will have to keep me busy until the new L movies comes out and gets subbed

[Neversoft]

Yeah, an alternative ending would have been good. It does feel quite unsatisfying with Light just laying there dead on the stairs.

[PaulMacC]

Yeah or another episode telling us what really happened to Misa and Aiwaza and stuff, It would be good to see Lights funeral too, to see who went and stuff.
We basically know Misa jumped but it's not comfirmed

[Shinigami]

We basically know Misa jumped but it's not comfirmed

That part wasn't in the manga ):

[PaulMacC]

So she doesnt die in the manga?
She basically is portrayed to committing suicide in the anime

[Shinigami]

So she doesnt die in the manga?
She basically is portrayed to committing suicide in the anime

Nope. In the end of the manga theres like loads of hooded people with candles gathered and then theres like one of them close up who i think is Misa, and she's like "Kira, our savior" and then on the next page it says This concludes the story of the Death Note and yeah its quite creepy lol.

[PaulMacC]

Does it show you who went to light's funeral.
Can you fill me in what happened after
light died

You know anywhere where I could watch a video through of the manga or a download of it?

Would Forbidden Planet supply Death Note?
DM They do, I'll get my mum to pick me up a few volumes on Saturday.
http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/search/SDeath%20Note

I'll probably get the manga's in decending order from 12 down as I already know the story.
So 12, 11, 10 on Saturday etc.
Hopefully the have them in this store *hopes*
I'll probably buy them as a soveniuer or something

http://stoptazmo.com/manga-series/death_note/
I can download them there

[Shinigami]

Does it show you who went to light's funeral.
Nope

Can you fill me in what happened after
light died
Basically it shows what happened one year later and the world's pretty much back to normal before kira appeared but some people think kira's taking a rest. It just shows the police people and then they're at the HQ or w/e and the 'L' letter appears on a screen and says "It's L. Looks like everybody's here. Well then, I'd like to tell you the details of this case" then it's the hooded people scene

Edit - did a search on google. last chapter of the manga: http://www.mangavolume.com/death-note/chapter-death-note-108/ the translations not the same though

[PaulMacC]

[Shinigami]

ALSO arent there two more manga volumes being released and another liveaction movie with L

Yeah posted earlier

[PaulMacC]

When are the manga volumes getting released, what will they contain?

[Neversoft]

When are the manga volumes getting released, what will they contain?

http://uk.anime.ign.com/articles/840/840699p1.html

[PaulMacC]

I dont understand it, what will they contain

[Neversoft]

I dont understand it, what will they contain

The first release is entitled Death Note: How to Read 13. A supplement to the twelve-volume core series, How to Read reveals various mysteries from the original books, helping flesh out details such as L's real name. Character biographies, storyline summaries, interviews and production notes are just some of the features that are included in the book. It is scheduled for release on February 19, 2008.

The second book is a novel, called Death Note: Another Note, written by Ishin Nishio. L's rise to power will be detailed as he solves the Los Angeles BB Murder Case. Naomi Misora, best known as FBI Agent Ray Penber's fiancee, will co-star. This title is slated for release next February as well, and is a single volume.

Did you even read it? :P

[PaulMacC]

Are they like anything to do with after Light's death

or is it in the middle of the story

[Neversoft]

Are they like anything to do with after Light's death

or is it in the middle of the story

Nooo!

L's Rise to power - It shows how L managed to get his status. Basically the major case before the Kira one, which Naomi Misora (Ray Penber's fiancee) helped out on.

[PaulMacC]

O I see :)

[PaulMacC]

So basically there is no futher advances on what happened after the death?

(adding new info, cant edit)

[Niall!]

That wasn't info bbz

and No probably won't be.

[test158]

The last episode was disappoitining
Mikami Should not be able to see "Near's" name since Near has the notebook.


6 pages, and still nobody explaind accuratly the "bit Near thing", there is no bit...

There is two differents type of people "Death note user", and "Victim", with the shinigami eyes, a death note user can see any victims names, but not death note user names.
Mikami own a death note, the one of Misa initialy, with Ruyk as the death god (initialy Rem).
Mikami can see Near name, because he doesnt own a death note...He "have it", but doesnt own it, he is a deep **** stealer.
Near have in his bag, Mikami's note, yeah, but Mikami is still the owner.
Mikami loose the ownership only if he get killed, or another person own that note for couples hundreds of days. (or he revoke it, but here the note goes back to the death god)
Even if Near did write in the note, he could kill people, but he wouldn't be the death note user. So he would remain a victim...


Btw since I went in all the trouble scubring the forum, I read a funny thing too, the guys that say they like Death note, but their favorite character is L, and they hate Kira, so they are glad he died (on another forum not here)...its quite fun to here that, cause that means the guy even didnt understand that Kira wasnt a bad guy at all, and that he was the main character, just by seeing most of the generic its eazy to capture his motives in all his killing...

That deep **** Near by framing/killing Kira, just also permitted future criminals to live, and in that way killed for example children abused by rapists, and many others innocent.
I hate the last episode too for many others reasons, like the way Near his defending his position saying "well uh you are a criminal, serial killer, thats all, i have nothing to had", meaning "uh well, I arrest you, and the crime will probably up again, but I dont care if innocents are killed"
In the manga we can clealry see that Near, this *******, passed 6 full months on a ********case, and probably didnt saved a single life, while he is responsible for many death of innocent, due to the re-start of criminaly.
While it would have taken Kira and Mikami 5seconds, to write that gang names. Or just there would be no gang, since there would still be in the era of fear.

Kira should have not died, or at least in a much different way.
And as someone suggested, the smart kira, would have written the names before going in, like suggested by Near, Near alone, he can take him without the deathnote even lol, no need to get the name lol

Finally I think there is a future possibility of sequel, dont forget that Misa, has her lifespan shorted by 4, BUT she has Rem + another death god lifespan (here a gain on that forum he guy was saying "hey damn why she isnt dead 6 years later, she would have 25 ? so she sould be dead"), so we can clearly guess, she can live for couples hundreds, maybe thousands of years depending of the lifespans of Rem and the other death god. That's why the way I see the last pictures of the manga, is "one candle, one year, Kira sama, the first one of a long serie", We imagine that she will lead that secret society for a long time lol, but I don't see the point of that...Still Kira is dead.
L should have not died either, and Near is useless, initialy I thought they would both kill each other, writing each other name on a note, at the same time lol
And here too I hate the way L died, It would have been a bit more intersting, if L for a moment reconised that what was doing Kira, was not necessarly a bad thing. Or at least, I would have prefered see Kira explaining the same thing he did to Near, but for L, in a less arogant way thoo

[PaulMacC]

and also at the end you hear L on the phone to Aiwaza and the other guys, saying we have a case.

[Neversoft]

So... what do you guys think the best scene from the anime is? :P

The death of Misora Naomi being mine.

[PaulMacC]

It doesnt actually shows her dying though, you never know.

Im trying to request an anime/manga forum for us guys, just waiting for a response.

[Neversoft]

Well duh. She commits suicide.

I think 75% of the forum would have a fit if we got an anime/manga section. :P Although that is a good idea. This doesn't belong in the TV section, all we get on TV is like 6 dubbed animes on Anime Central.

[Neversoft]

Woah... Death Note has caused a lot of trouble.

The Belgian newspaper Het Belang van Limburg reported on November 24 that the police have no concrete leads in the two-month-old case of body parts found near notes linked to the Death Note manga. On September 28, two hikers found a human torso and two thighs in Duden Park in the city of Saint-Gilles. Police later determined the shaven parts came from a Caucasian male individual. No identification or personal effects were found on the body parts, but two pieces of paper were found nearby with the same message in Roman capital letters: "WATASHI WA KIRA DESS." This is an apparent misspelling of the Japanese phrase "Watashi wa Kira desu," or "I am Kira", that is used in Tsugumi Ooba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note suspense manga series.

Some schools in Shenyang, People's Republic of China have banned the manga after some of their students started to tease friends and teachers by altering a notebook to resemble a Death Note and writing their names in them.
The newspaper Shenyang Night Report called Death Note "poison, creating wicked hearts". One major Chinese newspaper felt that the ban is an overreaction and is inappropriate.

A senior at the Franklin Military Academy in Richmond, Virginia was suspended after being caught possessing a replica Death Note notebook with the names of fellow students.

Quite scary what some people do after reading a manga or watching an anime.

I read about that, the banning is a bit over the top though

Same. It's best the first time, since you don't know whats going to happen, but still excellent the second time because you understand it more.

It's already out in Japan. USA's release date is 2009, so expect it to never be released in Europe. We'll have to wait for the subtitles and then watch it on the internet. :P

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLk7N3uzaD4) is aparrently the trailer for it.

Who's your favourite character? L obviously..
What was your favourite opening? 1, (Can sing it awesomely)
Who do/did you want to win? L, I wanted to see:


Light get shot :D

I loved the starting out of it, and with the truck bit :)
Then, I missed a few episodes, like L, magically got blue hair. xD
But, I'ma rewatch again.

Rumours of a 2nd series going round.
Neversoft wont approve.

Half of the people who watched Death Note said it's crap after L dies. So why would they make a second season about Near? It would just ruin it. :P
