One day, the ace student Yagami Light, finds a black notebook called Death Note. One of the rules in it says: "The human whose name is written in this note shall die." Light, thinking this as a joke, tries it out on a criminal, finding out that it actually works. With the book in his hand and his brilliant mind, he decides to be the new god of the world, punishing the criminals, making the world a "pure" place.

Unfortunately for Light, the world's best detective, L, takes the case to find out the mysterious murders of nearly 200 criminals over a night, which Light (nicknamed Kira (Killer) by the Japanese people) committed. From here, a fierce battle takes place between the ace student Yagami Light and the mysterious master detective L. Who will be caught first?

Episodes: 37

So far, there has been 27 subtitled episodes. I highly recommend this anime. :D

First half = made of win

Second half = made of fail.

Not going to spoil it, but try not to spoil others for anyone else seeing this. ^__^ The best part bout the second half though was the ending. :lol:

I haven't watched this before, but roughly, how long is it? Like how many episodes? I just can't see a "fierce battle" taking place for a lot of episodes lol.

I've watched 7 episodes so far and found it to be the best thing for a long time. It's simply brilliant, the problems and their solutions make absolute sense unlike in many other series. It's not exactly packed with action, but I myself am a fan of philosophical stuff anyway.

Lol yeah, the first half is very good, then it goes down a tad bit, then it goes up again.

And it's 39 episodes long, I believe.

Funny that you bring this up, I just happened to start watching it about 2 days ago myself. Seems very interesting, although I hope it doesn't get a lot worse near the end :(.

Time to make use of the spoilers tag! :D

[spoil]They should have extended the fight between Kira and L, and then ended the series when Kira wins. Seriously, getting Near and Mello into the series to replace L seem to be making it repeative.

Also, you can't argue that the best part of the series is of Light vs L. Even Zeratanis agrees.[/spoil]

And oh, anyone with me that the second opening sucks? The first one was way better in my opinions.

Yeah, the second half is somewhat weird. :/ And so is the second opening. O.o

Let's just hope it gets better.

I enjoyed it a lot even though practically all my other friends didn't. Eh.. it depends on the person who watches it if they like it or not.

I thought it was the best thing ever until the halfway point. Also let's just say the ending was the opposite of what I spent the whole series wishing to happen. I was SO dissapointed, and it was like a smack in the face when I realized
[spoil]they had forshadowed the ending from the very first episode...[/spoil]

But I don't mind anymore... I watch Code Geass now. It's like Death Note + Gundam Seed. Of course that equation equals pure WIN.

Yeah, and did anyone else notice this?

[spoil]In the second part (after L dies and Mello and Near replace him), we have three people in this 'conflict', Light, Mello and Near, all against each other. Light takes over the position of L, nicknaming himself as L (while Misa took over the 'position' of Kira) (though Near knows that Light is 'the second L'). Near calls himself N.

In the alphabets, we have LMN together. L for Light, M for Mello and N for Near.

Pure coincidence or what? :-s[/spoil]

Extreme Spoilers, do not open unless you have seen the second movie
[spoil]Tragic but great ending. Sad that he tried to kill his father. :([/spoil]

[spoil]What the hell is wrong with the movie, man? L defeats Light. :roll:

Light is meant to win, lol. Guess they just edited the ending 'a bit' to make the L fans happy. :roll:

The movie completely butchered the manga, to tell the truth.

All in all, I don't like Light losing. XD[/spoil]

[spoil] Most of what occurred in the manga also happened in the movie. For examples, the Bus incident, the FBI Agent, the second kira video, the imprisonment of both Light and Misa, and tricking Higuichi/Kiyomi to the studio was the same (or very similar) to the manga. Although there was no time skip, Light begged Ryuk to kill everyone surrounding him. But instead, Ryuk wrote his name in his note, similar to the manga. There were some differences, but in the end, it was not so different from the manga. Saying that the Movie completely butchered the manga is an exaggeration.


Anyway, here are some random screenshots of the movie. :D

[spoil]Lol, and I just realized that alphabetically, K follows L, and K stands for Kira. So we have KLMN. :-s

K- Kira [Misa]
L - Light
M - Mello
N - Near

Yay :-s[/spoil]

[spoil]Rem sounded like such a man in the movie, they do realize Rem is a girl right? I admit I thought Rem was male at first, until they referred to her as "she." I was like O_o? [/spoil]

Man, this 13 seconds clip from the anime has got to be the coolest and best scene in Death Note. XD
