death note was great until the yotsuba episodes, which started at 21 or so. episode 25 really shook things up (i cried ;_;), and then things got mellow (haha pun) and a little boring again with Mikami. still, though, i thoroughly enjoyed Death Note as a series. i'm happy they're showing it on Adult Swim so other people can see it too (and not little 7-year-old narutards since they'd be staying up past their bedtime

).
so, about the episode! i thought it was pretty great. the english voices aren't bad. Ryuk sounds a little too evil though, and Light sounds a bit too grown-up. ryuk is supposed to sound sorta silly. i mean, he has a deep voice and all, but in some scenes, it gets higher pitched and whiny ("c'moooon Raitoooo~! gimme an apple!"). but i think i can get used to the English voices.
(English? it's not really english... it's american. meh. if it was english, they'd speak without the american accent and would be using British slang instead of American slang... but whatever.)
