I think Ryuk looks pretty badass, myself. I can always tell CG, no matter how good they try to make it, so as long as it moves and lip-synchs impressively I'll be happy. And from what I've seen, he does. :)

Can't wait to see it...I don't care if I have to watch a really crappy bootleg.

A making-of was uploaded onto Youtube in two parts. It's unsubbed.

I want Mark "The Joker" Hammel as Ryuk in the dub, end of discussion.

The director vids are okay. Can't really tell much without any subs. I bet the guy who plays L is having a blast. He gets to do all of his weird mannerisms.

I was one of the people who really liked Death Note all the way through until that certain chapter where most people seemed to stop all at once lol.Hopefully the movie is able to represent the manga in a respectful manner without having to ruin anything.

The director made a few changes to the story. Im pretty sure it'll turn out just fine.

I've only read the first five English volumes. Good stuff here. I'll just stick with the American release schedule instead of downloading the scanlations. An Anime and Movie? I had no idea. Sounds good to me.

Yeah . It should be promising. Here's a vid to spice things up. Just scroll down and see how Yagami picks up the death note in the movie version. looks awesome lol. Definately a great acting from the melodramatic Tatsuya Fujiwara. Also, Ryuuku = Ratings

edit : You also notice a small piece of work from Kenji Kawai's score. That must be Ryuku's theme

Wow! Ryuk looks amazing! I'm just going to assume that Ryuk's a little suspicious of Misa and that we're going to see Rem in the second movie.

Now that you mention it. I did notice how Ryuuku eyes just gotten all bigger when he looked at Misa and supposedly the Invisible Rem. Its really impressing how well the blended cg ryuku alongside with Yagami.

ya the cg is amazing does anyone plan on getting the soundtrack if not i will order this and upload it on one of the fpts if no one gets it before then

That'd be great if you do, johen. thanks. Also, let me give you a heads up on the grammar.

well ill to wait till tommrow now..my CC is locked *i forgot the security code* i just hope i can get this fixed tommrow so expect it in a few days if someone doesnt get it before me that is

I think it was yesterday that Death Note hit the Japanese Box Office. Topping out The Da Vinci Code. I guess i have high hopes for this after all =].

Light looks like a total fag in that movie.


Well I wonder what Near eating chocolate means.

And: Who is that girl at the end?

Supposedly Misa. Tsugumi Ohba wouldn't just end it with some random chick. Then again, Kira-sama is something Misa wouldn't say. Im not sure, no one knows really. Years did go by and they grow up. An awesome story to end in a boring way.. Still,

*gasp* you guys seen the movie already :o

Daaaang, wish I was in Japan right now XD

I haven't lol. Just waiting for a cam'd version somewhere on a torrent site. I heard alot of things are changed not just the ending but also Kira being more evil than what you see in the manga.

I found a nifty little synopsis on someone's LJ. You can read it here, but be warned: spoilers abound.

Some neat little tidbits:
- The movie runs around two hours and twenty minutes.
- If you don't like original characters, you're not going to like Shiori very much.
- The movie really only goes through the first volume and then a little bit of volume two, as evidenced by various clips and trailers.

I gave in and read some of the Shiori-related stuff, and while I feel like she's still a sorta cheap cop-out to pad out the movie, I have to hand it to the filmmakers: damn.

Just finished the manga (had to DL the whole pack from Isohunt).

All we can rely on now is the Anime version. We already know that the movie is completely different so we'll expect something out of it. Though i think Yagami won't die in this one because its Tatsuya Fujiwara =/.

Tsugumi should have the right to change something in the end for the anime version coming this fall. A filler arc would be fine. As long as its L and Yagami working together ^^;.

Aside from story, I got the ost just now (thanks johen). The first few tracks were good but from there it started to pick up. Kenji put some Ghost in the Shell feel to it like the good ol days. He could've done alot better but i guess Fate/Stay Night and Higurashi took alot of him to try and work on DN's score. Overall, he has his moments with some tracks. He just needed to add that little ring to it in the beginning ;p .

So... any luck on a torrent ??

Damnit, I am officially an anime whore :(.. Reading the stuff now.

oh and...

ROFL... I love how Dani California is in the trailer. WHY??

Okay, so dani california is the theme song heh... why does that bug the hell out of me. Anyone agree it doesn't belong??

Yeah, Dani CA is the song only because WB is the one doing the releasing, methinks. The lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with DN or any of the themes in it:

Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And Mama was a hippie

In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the
panorama

She never knew that there was
Anything more than poor

What in the world does your
Company take me for

Black bandana sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin'
Baby watcha gonna

Looking down the barrel of a
Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when
It got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded she was
Stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say say say

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin'
For the quota

Down in the Badlands
She was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

:confused:
