[Anime] Death Note

An anime is labled virtualy imposable by some fans, because one, the series is just to dark for the average anime goer. And 2, since L and Light think....alot....they don't think that it would work with all that thinking. I personaly am on the fence about their being a Death Note anime. On one side I think it would be cool to see it animated but on the other side....I have a bad feeing that the shinigami would be the only thing computered in a 2D inviroment and that it won't live up to the manga.....

Jam it back in, in the dark.

all that thinking isn't really hard either.. take a look at detective conan..thats a good example when it comes to thinking..sorta >.>

The only reason I brought up if there was an anime, Ryuk and the other shinigami would probaly be CGI, is because, It would probaly cost too much time and money to keep drawing them frame by frame insted of just making them on the computer. If they draw them frame by frame, there is a chance that the animation will become limited as time goes on because of the series budget (that is unless they have a huge budget and/or export it to an off shoot studio in Korea or China). If it's done on a computer, it saves money and the hand drawn animation will roughly stay the same. I mean sure....It would be good to see the shinigami end up not being CG'ed in the anime if and when they do it. But There's just this feeling that that's what would happen if it did ever get turned into an anime.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just wanted to let everyone know if their interested, The offical movie site has been updated. The navigation is hidden all around Light's room....there's also a new trailer there as well (Get it by clicking the TV and then the power button). I have to say that the poster (also on the site) looks cool and that the new trailer is still Ring-ish, but still cool.

Most amazing jew boots

As for the Misa bus picture.....odd O_o ....but a good way to promote the movie I guess.....

You know....I never thought of that, having

Spoiler:

Mello and Near

at the end. That's sounds like the way to go seeing as how the manga isn't finished as of yet. At least it would be better then having Light achieve his dream and rule a crime free world and have the manga ending be something intirely diffrent. Though there are going to be two movies. So they could end the first movie with a forshadowing of whats to come as in

Spoiler:

Mello and Near, younger, at the wammy house

and continue on to the second movie with the second arch. So could work eather way....but if they do that then the problem with the ending still comes up unless the manga ends before October.

We should just really see what they do with the movies.....we really don't know what their going to do with them until we see them....

deathgod.org has summaries for pages chapters 1-5 and 84-current. But they're still missing chapters 6-83. Does that sort of help?

They'll be CG, news about how they're going to do the shinigami has been out for sometime now....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I know alot of you L fans out there are disappointed in his death but i think it hit me when :

I read the One Shot Pilot Chapter of Death Note. It seems that Ryuuku has this Death Eraser that would bring people back to life if there name and time/death is erased. I never thought of this but now im curious, was Light ever aware of that? and i think its all coming to my head that L can come back to life if that death eraser is exposed in the later chapters.Also..Ryuuku has a new DN book with him with a cross on it. I guess there is more to him that Light doesn't know

Spoiler:

I wondered about the eraser too...That's one thing that should have caried over into the main story. Though, in volume one after Ryuk exsplained the death eyes and Light asked is there anything else he should know he said "No....that's all. *Probaly...*" So there is a chance that the death eraser will crossover into the relm of canon.

FELIPE NO

The song Dani California by the RHCP will be the theme song for the move. Here's The Exite Japan artical on it (Un translated)

It's a good song....but it fitting with death note is questionable....

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I guess it could fit with Misa....Maybe if it was more like a character into song rather then the theme song....it just doesn't fit with the series as a whole....

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Some magozine scans of Matsuyama Kenichi as L, one of Light, and the new movie poster. All scans found off of LJ and Justice forums (deathgod.org):





There's nowhere I can't reach.

Another movie scan originaly posted by rokoroshon from LJ:



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lots more pictures from LJ:

Hope I'm not posting too much of these at one time....But Found some more pictures posted by arislanchan on LJ....



It would seem that we will actually see Naomi's suicide...from what it looks like the scene was changed to have her blow her brains out in front of the police rather then in some place where here body will never be found.....

Oh and L stacks suger cubes in the movie as well....

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow....that's good. Can't wait to see the whole movie now. Not to mention see the rest of the Shinigami and see what they look like, moving and in CG. So...lets hope that by the time the second movie comes out in Japan, this one will make it over here, if not in theaders, then DVD....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As stated by soulsteelgray, there will be an anime people. It will be interesting to see and if they can do it without having to resort to limited animation or outsoursing like I said in a previous post.

As for the game, an anime I can see.....but not a video game. I mean sure there is Jump Superstars....however a video game based off of the series is a bad move if I say so myself. I mean....the series doesn't really have enugh to have a video game based off of it....it's not something like Naruto or DB/Z/GT that it is easy to base a game off of.

FELIPE NO

Acording to many other sites, The cast that ANN has up has not been confermed by any Japanese site....I don't even think it was confermed by Jump yet. Aparently the "voice cast" came off of some Chinese message board and some how ended up on ANN.

So what I'm basicly trying to say is...that isn't the final voice cast. So don't get your hopes up...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm kind of exited about this, since it's done by madhouse, my fears of an anime version probaly won't come to life. I can rest easy now...

I also have a feeling whenever it gets licenced, that Geneon will probaly get second dibs on the anime and/or viz'll sell it to them due to the fact they're usualy the ones that pick up Madhouse series (Trigun, Gungrave, Paranoia Agent, ETC.) anyway.

The story sets off before Death Note. It takes place when Naomi and L worked together to solve the LA BB murder case. Anyone know anything about it? Honestly, I was expecting L to be a little younger but whatever. Its another L arc for the L fans. And..thats a good thing.

Well...if you think about it...L would only really be like what 16. Because in the manga it said the BB muder case took place in 2002 and the main DN storyline started in '03/'04 area. People's looks don't change in a 'year'....even fictional ones.

I have a feeling that Viz'll bring it over in a few months to next year like the did with the FMA novels. I mean, Death Note has proven to be quite popular over here after all...

Also, maybe the novel will have like an epilogue with a answer to the 'what happend to Naomi's body after she killed herself?' question that has been plageing the fandom since volume two of the manga. I mean even if Light made her kill herself where no one could find her body, you at least would think someone would find her body sometime years later.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Opening Theme:
"The World" by Nightmare
Ending Theme:
"Aluminia" by Nightmare

Anyone know who they are ???

Found some videos on youtube, I can only guess that they're the same band. Here's the liveEVIL and Raven loud speeeaker videos to give you an idea.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The VAs for Light and L have now been confrmed by SJ.

Mamoru Miyano - Light
Tamaki - Ouran High school host club
Riku - KH
Kiba - Wolf's Rain.

Kappei Yamaguchi - L
Inuyasha - Inuyasha
Usopp - One Piece
Ryuichi - Gravitation
Ranma - Ranma 1/2.

I must say...much better then the fake cast list....

Uh...

Quote:

In related news, on September 7 the film's director of photography, Hiroshi Takase passed away due to a stroke. He was 50 years old.

The director of photography was the one who passed away, not the director (Shusuke Kaneko)....
