This looks to be one freaky deaky show. Guessing the quality must be pretty decent considering the number of fansub groups jumping onto this show.

Gotta say that it certainly does break away from the pack a bit.

I haven't watched it yet, but I know it has a huge manga following. I plan to give it a try.

My daughter and I have watched the first two episodes. She had seen the manga in her shounen jump, and I had read about it somewhere else, so it was something we both wanted to see.

Absolutely LOVED it. Can't wait for more to come out.

i have been reading the manga myself (eng ver) and it's freaking sweet. i hope they do a good job on the anime, and i'm sure they will ^^_. i've dl'ed the first ep from a few different groups and the second ep but haven't had a chance to watch them yet too see how it is so far.

i will provide a further update as to the quality of the series ^^_ later

EDIT: well i watched the first ep, and i must say that i'm impressed so far with what they are doing with the series. i really like the use of different shots. like when ryuk is pointing at light and then they pull that image back into a smaller box and then show the death note on the screen being held by light. the voices are pretty much what i imagined them to be. ryuk's isn't quite what i thought but it's still damn good. the tones are excellent and definintely bring out the series. can't wait to watch more of this ^^_. especially since i've read the manga so far :p.

Read the manga. The anime quality is great.

I like how the OP ends with Raito's hand outstreatched to MisaMisa.

monk_boy · 10-26-2006, 08:40 AM

the manga was good till the end. i personally hated the ending, but over all the story is excellent. at the pace the anime is going at the anime should easily be 50+ episodes. if they keep the 1 chapter per episode then i should be around 100. i really hope they don't edit from the manga much. so far everything is transfered into the anime with the exception of some minor reordering of events.

I haven't checked this one out and I don't think I will. If it gets good ratings I'll buy the DVD's.
Anyway, various recourses list this one as having 37 episodes, which is a very strange number when it comes to anime.

VnTB · 10-27-2006, 02:28 AM

well I think it's more strange if every anime serie keep a standaard, like 24,26 or 52 ...
