Of The Week ~ 1. Death Note

[Southe,]

Death Note

Plot

Light Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man 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. 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 notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his keen judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

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" (キラ, "Kira"? derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

Watched it subbed. the only good thing about the dub is brian drummond is the voice of ryuk. and hes the one that did the "Over 9000!" vegeta line before he was replaced.

1. I liked the show, thought it was well done. i just hate the way it turned out when it was brought over here and dubbed. Everyone claiming to be TEH GREATEST FAN EVAR. but yes. Still enjoy it none the less.

2 L because he was awesome.

3. Cant really say i hated anyone. i did hate mello at the begining but when the story moved on i liked him.

4. Have all the soundtracks. Liked L, Light, Near character themes. Fan of both of the opening bands nightmare and maximum the horomone. ( MTH were touring the uk this year >.< missed it ) The world was the best OP/ED song in my opinon tho.

5. apart from the ending i thought it was faithful to the manga.

Manga Ending.

Show Hide

When light is shot multiple times he beg ryuk to write there names in the book, which he then writes lights name instead. so the live action ending is more faithful than the anime.

Also. who's seen the live action films? i quite enjoyed them. even the 3rd one ^^ was happy to have more L lol
