Nope, the anime and manga are both over. This series is SO epic, it certainly deserves to be in a class of its own.
And I'm all for Yagami Light.
currently watching: None. Too busy to watch TV!
I LOVE DEATH NOTE! It is so intriuging and philisophical. It is about the darkness and light in life. Haha, get it! L rocks!

Death Note was...meh.
It started off great. Loved the concept and gothic theme.
*spoiler alert*
I didnt like how that shinigami broke their own rules and in a way started helping Light for treats. For the most part, Light's deductions where convincing but I was like WTF when Light deduced that whole scenario where he gives up the book and gets put on watch and everthing after that! I lost interest then.
All in all, it was ok. Have to give it high marks for originallity that's it.
Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."

The manga/anime series is probably one of my favourites.
click to show/hide spoilersIt's kind of cliche to have the good conquer evil theme. It would have been much more original if they had for this instance let "evil" conquer "good."

I really enjoyed Death Note. I found it to be intriguing, orginal and kind of creepy.Light was really just an egomaniac, crazy mass murderer.
click to show/hide spoilersBut over all I enjoyed watching Death Note.
Misa: I can't live in a world without Light!
L: Yes, that would be quite dark.

L Lawliet is a wonderful character.
Death Note is a unique anime, centering around psychological warfare and relevant dialogue.
Light is the ideal example of human character corrupted by immense power.
Light was a little twisted before he found the Death Note, but I guess all humans are a little twisted. Death Note is a totally different type of shounen manga. The battles are psychological. Personally, I also found L to be a very interesting character. I was amazed how before he knew about the Death Note, he seemed to have all the details about Light being Kira except about the Note Book and how could he know that? Sorry, I'm kind of rambling on.
Misa: I can't live in a world without Light!
L: Yes, that would be quite dark.

If you knew nothing about the manga Death Note and you found the Death Note, Would you try it out? If yes, who would you try it out on, if no what would you do with it? Also if you tried it out and it worked, what would you do with it?
If I found the Death Note, I wouldn't even try it out. I would just keep it in my closet just incase, I wouldn't want it to fall into the wrong hands.

Likely, I'd think it's a bad joke. But just in case it is real, I'd destroy it.

I've read the manga and saw the anime and i find the series not bad...does live up to what others said about it. Love L character the most..and the first half of the series.
^ is it really that bad? I was thinking of giving the live action ago... hm...
Agreed. In the Live Action Movie L is just plain creepy, they cut out Mello, Matt, Near, and many other characters, the totally mess up the ending, the way Ray Penburg's fiancee dies is stupid, Rem is a boy! .
My dad watched it and actually liked the first part (he's never seen the anime), but he thought the 2nd part wasn't as good.

To be honest, in terms of acting - L, or Ken'ichi Matsuyama, was the only one who did a convincing job. He portrayed the odd characteristics of L just the way I'd imagine him to be in real life according to the manga descriptions. Tatsuya Fujiwara just seemed so whiny (like he does in most of his movies) and did not even look like Light (they should have casted Yamapi for that). The girl who played Misa was annoying, but then again, so was Misa in the manga.
I was never fond of the characters like Near and Mello - in fact, that entire story lineclick to show/hide spoilerswas what for me, made the manga less amazing than it could have been.
I do agree that the changes they made were kind of pointless, and the death of the fiancee was pretty silly too. I think they meant for Rem to be a woman, but didn't explain it properly.

I think that they made Rem a man because they didn't want to go through or didn't have time to explain the motherly love that Rem had for Misa. I didn't like Mello but I thought that Near was pretty cool. No one can replace L in terms of coolness though.
