Hot dog!
i'm a big fan of Death Note. apparently, it is premiering tonight, October 20th, 2007, at midnight! Adult Swim (Same channel as Cartoon Network; channel 47 on comcast cable) is going to show the American version. if you go to http://www.adultswim.com, it shows a splash-page type thing with Light on it, hehe :D​  so yeah, i'm pumped for this! and as you can see here, other people are too~! just thought i'd let you guys know, since i know there are some death note fans on GW. :]
semper games.

Oh man, thats both good news and bad news. Goods news, I like Death Note. Bad news, it replaced Bleach as it was reaching the climax of the arc. Why couldn't they throw out some other show :fogetsad:

yeah well you can find Bleach online in Japanese with subtitles, and it's much better that way (actually, i think you can find the american version easily as well). i'm so excited for death note~! :D i really hope the dub doesn't suck. ._.

just go to veoh.com and you can find just about anything for free and legally in high qualtiy with super fast always on direct servers damnit. ;p

Anyway, Death Note...heard about it so much but just saw it. I don't know about this one. It could get better later on, but the elements in it are simplistic and in-direct (A notebook that kills people) + even though the writing is great and I'm sure the music is awsome.

I don't know...does it get better later on?

Now there's a hell of a scruples question:

Would you take the ability to kill anyone who'se name you knew, in any fashion you choose, if it meant you had to become an emo kid?

pshh well i don't like bleach as much as death note so stfuuuuuu

I think you are both missing the more important issue here.

How the hell is Blood+ still airing on Adult Swim!? (If I find out it's the same people behind Inuyasha's ratings I swear I am going to devote the rest of my life to finding a Death Note, and I WILL be creative about the causes of death)

Let us celebrate with never seen before bloopers. I was going to put pictures for all of them but I got bored of this really quickly.

*Warning Spoilers*

Death note is diffrent then your average anime in that it`s not about fighting but mind games. And no it doesn`t get better. Infact at about ep. 15 it gets quite worse, and although later it`s gets better again, it never gets as good as the first 15 episodes.

ENJOY THEM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
if not I will write your name in my death note!

PS: You miss spelled awesome =P

I disagree. Anything beyond 21 is unwatchable.

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 :gwa: ).
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.)
semper games.

I hate it when anime I like come over here, because it just seems to flood EVERYTHING.... thankfully I won't have to deal with my 10-year-old foster siblings ranting about how cool they are staying up watching Death Note on Adult Swim.... *eye roll*

I haven't seen Death Note beyond the episode that aired last night, so I don't know who you're talking about. But the picture in my mind would have made Death Note possibly the greatest show ever.

This series felt better to read,  watching it just didn't feel like I was immersed into a detective like mystery story.  It's just the way the story is.

So far, the Manga > the Anime. Just like every other series.

--SPOILER--
(I`ll be using japanese names since I never watched the dubbed version)

Dude! L and Light working together sucks! I loved the Genius vs Genius and suddenly it`s Genius + Genius vs Random Buisness Man. When Near and Mello came in (although it wasn`t half as good as L vs Light) it became a little better because it sorta became Ganius vs Genius again (only real stupid).

Btw, when you say "beyond 21 is unwatchable" do you mean you haven`t watch 21 to 37 yet?

I saw it. I loved it. *hopes dangerousned doesn't find a deathnote of his own* I was also a little upset over the replacement of bleach though.
